Omg I am so disappointed.
I had high expectations.
He took his helmet off WTF!!!!!
Where are the grunts?? I only sa elites.
It’s notebable that the dint researched the original ip.
Again Hollywood took an ip and did there own cheap thing with it. To get maximum money out of it. With less effort. generic story writing. Human on human
Baby sitting a human girl. Do I need to go on?
Only plus point is the look of the Spartans
Action it self is good.
Everything else is bad generic cheap writhing.
Lowered my rating as I was so bored on S2E1 I turned it off.
They managed to turn the epic story of Halo into the same nonsense that US has been pushing out the last few years:
"Let's make everyone corrupt, there are conspiracies everywhere, everyone is evil, and everyone whines a lot! We're such great writers, wow!"
Oh look another show that has its natural flow interrupted by the same ol' industry standards plaguing everything else in the last few years. Hire hack writers who don't care about the source, hire every checkbox in the book, and then blame it on the fans for not liking it. Next.
I´m a gamer and never played Halo more than 5 minutes. I dont care if it doesnt follow the source material or if he took his helmet off. This is an incredibly awesome action sci-fi show! Just enjoy it!
I think its very good for people without much knowledge of halo. I am one of those :) For me it was very very good.
Good Story, good cgi, good acting, good action, good scyfi.
Just some episodes with to much Kwan Ha where boring and a bit childish but the spartans are bad ass.
Getting really Tired of The anti-Obama political rhetoric this show spouts. I don't want Political snide remarks in a sitcom. I can watch the Daily Show for that. Terribad second season.
It's one thing to recast a character, but to recast about three of them and completely change the family (ages, etc)? Come on. How are you supposed to develop any feelings towards the characters and suspend your disbelief? Did not like the directional change for season two. What a horrible mistake the series executives made.
The show was enjoyable even though it had very predictable punchlines. I haven't seen an episode in which Mike wasn't right and/or got his way in the end. Now it's pushing political ideologies way too much.
Also funny how the supposedly dumb characters in TV or movies are very often the smartest ones in real life, kudos Molly Ephraim.
Anyway I'm done with it and let's see how long it takes until Tim Allen has his Roseanne moment on twitter.
becomes more and more contrived and ridiculous from episode to episode and season to season.
Pretty good little show. It took me a while to relax and feel confident that Maigret was not going to turn into Mr Bean. Atkinson is nothing like Maigret from the novels but he does a good job playing a serious, talented detective nonetheless.
Was one of my favorite Shows and still is..I've just started to watch this again with my kids and it's still funny after so many years.
It's really bad. The writing is terrible. Even my tween daughter was making fun of it making comments like "why is Ashoka afraid of Sabine turning dark? I thought Jedis aren't afraid." And "Why is Ashoka lighing her saber first? That goes against everything in the original triloty of Jedis not attacking" . Yeah I have been a fan of Star Wars since seeing the first one in 78, so maybe I am just too old for this, but it doesn't feel like star wars at all. Thrawn was great in those Heir of the Empire books, but he was so weak and not convincing in this series. The lightsaber fights have gone from masterful sword fights to dance routings. I don't know... pretty disappointing. I hate how they keep changing and cheapening the whole force/ jedi thing too. and there are too many modern tropes that they cannot get away from in modern Star Wars movies - particulatly how there has to be a weird light saber and there has to be a differnet stormtrooper. I guess in this case, zombie stormtroopers. ugh...
Many characters are a little unbearable and they rarely remind me of the ghost crew. Shame. Rebels was very good. This show seems lost already.
Corny dialogue, uninteresting characters, extremely predictable writing
Another boring and predictable show that relies entirely on nostalgia bait (Hayden Christensen cameo).
No interesting dialogue at all, it looks cheap and mostly plays on barren planets again.
Wonderful nature docuseries. The only downside is that it was made before the era of 4K HDR video. More recent nature documentaries tell many of the same stories, but are more visually striking. (And are also narrated by David Attenborough)
Although they allocate huge budgets for star wars movies, they cannot achieve the success they have achieved in this animated series or clone wars series (unfortunate).
Great series somewhat let down by the pretty pointless sexual encounters / relationship material that adds literally nothing to the story and, worse still, breaks the pace of the story and becomes a distraction for the addition of nothing but padding. The Inquiry scenes were OK showing the lengths that senior intelligence officials will go to to cover their asses once it hits the fan! Just goes to show what the intelligence services can fail to achieve when they really put their minds to it.
The whole thing is fantastic, but so chilling to watch. You know what will happen, yet you find yourselves screaming at the screen for them to get it together.
Complex, intelligent, and sobering; superb television
Based on The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (2006), Lawrence Wright's exhaustively researched and critically acclaimed winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction (2007), whilst the book is about how al-Qaeda succeeded (with a lot of time spent delineating just why they hated American culture so much), the TV show is about how the US failed. It's a story of arrogance, incompetence, ignorance, and tragic inevitability. And although the binary of CIA=bad/FBI=good is more than a little reductionist, and whilst there's a real dearth of information on al-Qaeda itself, this is a deeply sobering series, which is at its infuriating best when it shows us, as it does time and again, just how easily these globe-altering events could have been prevented.

What a shitty job the CIA did! The only thing they were able to do right was covering up their asses... They probably didn’t want to ruin their almost perfect “record” of failures.
This is one of the most BORING show I've ever seen, I'm only watching it to keep up with the entire marvelverse but jeez, this is the sleep fest
It feels like you're realistically following a company from World War 2, complete with the showcase of realistic action, characters and operations. You do, as the name suggests, feel like you're following a band of brothers through a war.
A worthy sci-fi series that never got the chance to truly shine. Not without flaws, but deserving of the screen time.
Western animation at its best, they don't make them like this anymore. Iconic, the best Batman, enjoyable by all ages, highly recommended!
This show is a mess! It’s even worse than it’s lead character Cassie…
The Flight Attendant tries to hit all genre boxes there are at once: Drama, Comedy, Crime, Thriller, Adventure, Mystery and probably a few I forgot. While trying to address all of them it actually turns out to be really bad on delivering on every single one. It’s just trying too hard to be something unique with all its fancy scene cuts and the soundtrack which is just annoying by the time the show reaches season 2. The story gets so confusing especially in Season 2 at times that it’s becoming seriously hard to follow and it has to be said, that at least in this show Kaley Cuoco does a bad job at drama acting. I think she’s really funny in TBBT and I thinks that’s where her acting skills lie.
I wouldn’t recommend watching this show. While S1 was still okay-ish S2 really wasn’t and consequently the show was canceled after that. Even if you’re a Kaley fan - don’t waste your time with this one.
If you take the most obnoxious, self involved, dumb party girl and put her in a TV show, you'd have this. It's just one long story of her whining and doing the absolute dumbest things humanly possible. The ongoing and pointless dialog with an imaginary dead man feels like a filler and doesn't add anything to the story whatsoever.
2 episodes in and I'm ditching this
It started off okay, apart from the “Klingorcs”. Where the fuck did they come from?
Sadly, it gets worse as the series continues. Star Trek has always tackled social issues, which was great and tried to show us how we as the human race could be. But, fuck me. We must be in a truly awful fucking place if we’re to follow the same logic.
The franchise has always seemed to inspire the more nerdy of us to invent wonderful things such as touch sensitive screens, tablets, mobile phones, WiFi and virtual assistants. The only thing I fear this shit will inspire is the inexplicable and totally unnecessary use of FUCKING WHISPERING.
I can only hope that Discovery does a “Dallas” in the next series (please make it the last) and we find out that all which has gone before was nothing but one of Burnham’s recurrent nightmares, caused by some form of trauma, for which she seeks help from Dr. Culber in 10 weekly appointments.
