Trakt for iOS
Works on iPhone and iPad.
I've played LoL on a handful of occasions throughout the years but never enough to be familiar with the world/lore. So I went into this show pretty much blind and with little expectations because of previous games to TV adaptions.
But boy were my expectations completely blown out of the water. Everything in the first three episodes was damn near perfect. Animation. Score/soundtrack. Voice acting. World building. Captivating Story. Interesting Characters. Fucking insane. I cannot wait for the next episodes.
I have mapped every pore on Elizabeth Moss' face by now. Today she had a blackhead on the right side.
I can't believe it, but the second season is better than the first. And I gave the first a 10/10. The quality of the show is so high. Acting, pacing, the camera work... wow... just wow.
i dont know about u guys but asa butterfield AND gillian anderson? ive never been so on-board before
UPDATE: just finished it and MAN you all need to watch this. its a mastery of crushing cliches and good writing!
I think this is about cruelty, in a social way. About social revenge, and mostly criticizing the "eye for an eye" thing.
Pretty much a perfect miniseries. Intriguing characters and overall story with amazing actors, great cinematography and an absolutely fantastic soundtrack.
After Season 2:
I was really worried that this season might be shit but it actually turned out great. It's IMO as good if not better than S1 (although quite a bit less funnier and even more depressing at times) and it provides a lot happier ending for the characters which is nice. It also deals with the psychological aftermath of S1 really well.
But the best thing in the show still was the soundtrack. It somehow got even better than S1.
The thing about Girls is that you shouldn't come to it expecting to laugh out loud. It's raunchy, there's awkward nudity, and some pseudo-funny moments, but most of all there's a strong realism in the scripting, acting and directing that almost makes it feel like a reality show. Basically, it's not comedy, it's not drama, it's not bad, it's not good. It's just mediocre reality. And that is why I stopped watching at the end of season 1.
I’ve never been a Sandra Bullock fan, but I found her performance in Bird Box rather incredible. In fact, the whole cast was superb. Great execution. My favourite thriller of 2018.
The ending was quite excellent, hinting subtly that perhaps things were not what they seemed. Did she make it, or were things just too good to be true? The idyllic paradise in the midst of the apocalypse, survivors lounging on the grass, enjoying carefree conversation? Oooooh, I don’t know ...
It forced me to buy a Twinkie, and I it was disgusting :D The movie was funny, though.
Overall this season is a slight step-down from the second, but whew that finale was the series' best. Brutal, funny, tragic, and almost unbearably suspenseful. Skarsgard's story of ancient Roman slaves is such a succinct summary of the Roy family arc. The finale even retroactively elevates the path that leads to it a bit, which is no small feat. Also, I don't care how impractical it is, Emmys for all the five Roys please.
This is definitely getting a second season and I'm all up for it. The cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack fits perfectly with its themes. It addresses important topics that should be discussed amongst teenagers in such a natural, easy way.
The whole cast does a great job. I'll never get tired of saying that Asa Butterfield is a fantastic actor and deserves to get more recognition urgently.
liked it from the first scene and got better with every episode

I started watching this with absolutely no expectations, and was pleasantly surprised.
It's a great alternate history twist on the moon landing, and while I initially thought the novelty of core concept would wear off rather quickly, they've actually done a really good job at crafting a broad and nuanced "what if" scenario. It's a nice example of how one small difference can yield all sorts of unexpected results, and by the time I was around say... three episodes in, all the other series on the "currently watching" list had been sidelined by a need to find out what would happen next.
I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you find the subject at all interesting.
Watched again after a few years. Just upgraded his grade from 9 to 10!
I don't have an issue with lowkey bottle episodes, which this definitely was, but there were such flaws in this general setup. Why would they leave June, a woman who has repeatedly shown herself to be rebellious and against everything Gilead stands for, left unsupervised with ofMatthew and her unborn child? Children are surely the most precious thing to Gilead, so to have no-one in the room with June seemed like a contrivance to allow her to do the things she did this episode.
Also, on a fundamental level, I don't understand how (what looked like) a gunshot injury to ofMatthew's shoulder rendered her brain dead.
This show is definitely on a bit of a messy downward spiral of late, which is a shame. It feels meandering with no overarching narrative direction. It's lucky the production values and cast are so terrific. Hopefully things will turn around for the season's closing episodes.
Went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised that this was a solid thriller. I cared more about the flashbacks then the current day story. The concept is interesting but nothing we haven't seen before. An easy recommendation since it's on Netflix.
So far I think the show is very good. I feel like I am watching an updated version of Skins (UK) for 2019. Is that a bad thing? No. I think this show has its own stories to tell, but with similar themes. Labrinth's musical direction and original works are superb. I am going to continue watching.
I was on edge THE WHOLEEE EPISODE holy shit, I kept imagining myself in her situation. I guessed the end a little, but in this way her partner got a WAYYY better ending than she did cos he killed himself in his cell before any of this shit could happen to him. Theyre preventing her from even THINKING about killing herself either, which is insane. I could never take part in a show like this, and the main character was AMAZING. Her acting shocked me so hard. She really deserves recognition.
Started watching this on Saturday with my wife. went in with no expecations and it blew us away!!
A must see!! Dont see a lot of shows so well written these days.
One of the rare "Based on a true story" movies that is actually quite accurate in it's depiction. I was worried that it might "Hollywood" up the story to gain more widespread appeal but it didn't.
If you have seen Citizen Four then the general idea of the movie will be familiar, however it runs Godfather 2 style flashbacks to give more details about how everything came to be and a more personal look into Snowden's life. Which was the only thing I missed from Citizen Four, so I'm glad they chose this was to tell the story.
Acting is fantastic all around and Joseph Gordon-Levitt absolutely nailed his role. I also liked that they didn't try to over-villainise anyone (except for one occasion that was a bit over the top) and more focused on that it was just a system that was out of control, with people just "following orders".
A dark and interesting speculation on a wold long past the singularity, where human consciousness can be downloaded and plugged into different bodies (or sleeves). What becomes of humanity in a world with such power and an ever widening gulf between wealth and poverty?
What the hell is up with all the Clara hate in the comments? She was an amazing character and I will miss her badly.
Beautiful ending to an amazing series. Definitely one of the best shows out there.
"i dont know you are but stand the fuck down"... Lol... Got to love her
This was hands down one of the best animated (any show really) shows I've seen in 40 years. I hate LOL as well but am a huge gamer and played it a bit 10 years ago. My girl doesn't know anything about the art and LOVED it as well. So good and so impressed.
Music, characters, hand painted on top of 3d models, story, voice acting. Just soooo good.
The animation in this show is amazing but the one thing that actually blew my mind was the shot of Jayce writing with a fountain pen. The slight bend of the tip showed me the incredible attention of detail they put into this. The other thing is the slight shifting of the eyes when characters are looking at each other. Just like in real life when we switch from looking at one eye to the other. In a previous episode when someone climbed down a ladder, he didn't just glide down, you could see the gravity pulling down on him every rung he went down. Everything has a weight. Compare this to The Clone Wars where they just look like weightless stick figures. I'll be rewatching this show again cause I feel if I picked up on that, how much will I have missed?
is pretty bad for a new tv series
This episode will be 90 minutes long instead of the usual 50-60 minutes.
