3 episodes in, I'm really enjoying the series so far. Too bad they cancelled it after just the one season. Will continue to watch it.
Season 1 is quite decent, except for how the main characters are able to nearly instantly beam themselves all over the planet without apparent time loss for traveling, sitting around at the airports and going through security checks with all of their weapons, hurted faces etc. That part is very conveniently left out ;)
Season 2 is a lot less strong. Individual motivations of people is less sensible and overal the whole story is just so much less smart. It's not terrible, just.. not that good.
Season 1: 8,5 out of 10 (rounded down to 8 as I dont think it's worth a 9)
Season 2 6,5 out of 10 (rounded up to a 7 as it's not as bad as a 6)
Very weird is that Disney+ has deleted nearly all female full frontal (bush) nudity scenes, though theres still a lot of boobs.
Penisses however are shown all over the place.
This first season was pretty good, binged it during just one week. Even in 2024 it's still very watchable and I am surprised I never saw it before.
This series is seriously superb. The chemistry between the main characters is superb and I am totally in love with Willa Fitzgerald her character. Great action series. Not too woke either, refreshing.
There is less than a hand full of actors here who actually are any good, most really dont seem to know what they are doing.
In the basis it's an interesting story and a quite fresh look upon multiple ideas taken from other sci-fi series.
Like already the ring from Stargate for example :) Still I enjoyed watching it.
Season 1 was pretty decent. Season 2 is stupid and childish.
I very much doubt there will be a season 3 like this.
again a great sci-fi show which got cancelled way too early :(
I really do not understand how this series is getting such high praises.
I havent smiled more than .... maybe once?
It's more like obnoxious, annoying. Its boring. Not funny.
The series is seriously good; in between all the sex scenes there is an amazing story. Now I am all for the great sex of the beautiful people - which is actually done very tasteful - but in this case I think a little less graphic might have helped the series pick up more viewers.
But the story is truely amazing. It's striking. It's relevant. It's sci-fi and yet realistic. And when you consider the series is (loosely) based on a book from the 1930s; its hard to imagine how much 2020+ it is.
I loved the movie Equilibrium, which has a openly very dark side to it, with feelings being not allowed. This series Brave New World has the same basis though its the opposite with obligatory fake happiness. I would say that Brave New World actually perhaps is even more dark...
I really enjoyed the story of the series and I totally binged it in just 3 days!
There is an ending to the series, though largely open, but still giving just enough closure to accept it as a series finale........ but I do hope that there will be another season afterall.
Way too much psychological blabla. Season 1 was superb and simply amazing.
Season 2 with the mind games, sort of alternate reality and time travel-wannebee was a huge disappointment
Season 3 was just bullcrap.
I really miss Roscoe (Willa Fitzgerald).
The love interest 'tension' that is supposed to exist between Reacher and Dixon, is not so convincing.
Overal I find Season 2 less interesting unfortunately than Season 1. There are so many more people in the team involved now, it's no longer the lone wolf taking care of things.
Probably one of my most favorite moments was T-1000, uh, I mean Robert Partrick saying that he doesnt care who Sarah Conner is :)
It's not bad, just a bit less cool than season 1.
This series is not perfect. It has some weird scenes that are not realistic or plain simple stupid. Motivations why some characters do something, or dont do something does not always make sense.
It is a bit over-hyped.
It does not have a great ending.
But.
It has proper dialogues, good acting, interesting(mostly ;) ) plot twists and it keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more.
I completely binged it and am feeling a bit of simply wanting more. And a different ending.
To fill the gap I started watching The Stranger...
There were 2 dreadfully bad episodes, but mostly all others were 7 or 8 out of 10, the odd one out even a 9.
So all in all I'm quite happy with this first season and curious it will survive to go into a second season.
This series is not bad, but it aint brilliant either. Still its pretty decent entertainment. The final episode of season 1 was one big load of .... (you know).
Very disappointing how they tried to bring everything together and then suddenly everything being questionable.
Also - I am not even living in UK nor am I Scottish -, but I found it extremely respectless towards the Scottish leadership how they made it look like they were just laying down and waiting for the Ruzzians to take over their lands and control. Asif the Scottish would be helpless without the English big brothers keeping them safe. Ugh. Too much of a political statement for me to be honest.
Anyway. Forgetting the last episode, I guess I did enjoy the rest of season 1. Hopeing that there will be a season 2..... Too many unanswered questions.
Just don't take this series too serious and it's funny popcorn entertainment.
Where are the days when seeing the label "Syfy original series", meant absolutely getting quality? Oh my Lord what a... I'm done with this. I was really interested in the idea, I like a lot of the Roman period (-inspired) and Greek mythological series and movies, but this definately isnt one of them.
this is a great police series, but its crazy (white)male unfriendly. whatever the situation, the white man is the bad guy, or at minimum 'a' bad guy. seriously fck off........
I'm 4 episodes in and actually..... positive surprised. I expected some off-the-charts woke crap. Aside one racism-conversation which turned out ok, I've actually not really felt annoyed about woke virus shit. So.... all in all, pretty good. This is how Tue Lies series could have been!
Donald Glover is great in this role. Quite convincing as the modern retro weak not-very-manly-man. I'm not a huge fan of Maya Erksine, her whole character is rather bland. But together they have decent chemistry.
This series is absolutely nothing like the original movie... but pretty decent. Well above average.
Very decent series for young adults. Not too extremely woke, at least no LGBT promo, which is nice for a change.
The series is nowhere near as intelligent as the movies, but overall enjoyable enough.
The series starts very slow. It takes it time to get going somewhere. If compared to its dreadful peers like Book of Boba Fett then Andor is a true gem. When evaluated by itself, then it is a very decent series, but it really relies heavily on the StarWars canon. You need to know what 'the empire' is and who Palpatine is and why the empiral navy taking over on planets is so scary. Most people likely know. But you really do need that basis.
Anyway. Series. Starts slow, picks up after 3 or so episodes. The culimination of season 1 is superb, though it does not 110% fully makes sense that all main characters are bothering to travel to the same small city. I'll forgive the scenario writers lacking in that area, as it did bring a very nice final to season 1 and leaves me wanting for more.
Diego Luna is absolutely superb in his role. Kudos for that.
the first few episodes were extremely cheesy. after episode 3 I had doubts if I wanted to continue to bother with the other few or not.
1x05 is the only good episode in this series.
the biggest 'miss' in this series is that there is no proper pilot.
you just get thrown in there. no character build up, no red line in the series. just a number of stories or scripts based on a book line thats made into series....
too bad, there was some nice potential there, but it's really not surprising it got cancelled
Too much weird shit for me.
Feels a lot like art school students got some budget and this was the result
Summary: I had my rating initially at 6 out of 10, lowered it to 3 out of 10 and now at 2 out of 10. Really - dont bother with this crap.
The best actress in this series is probably the small girl Lauren Gravitt playing Laura. All others should ask their money back from acting school.
Episode 1 started out really interesting and I was instantly hooked...... then....... it crashed and burned basically. What a b.s. scenes. Some are just retarded. The car chase was utterly crazy. Some dialogues are.... 'strange' if to be kind :)
It's just a lot of small things. Like in episode 3, Rees is giving a presentation to a group of people and you hear her talking. Then the big boss comes in, walking around the glass box and you hear his footsteps. While he is outside of that glass box. And then he comes in. Uhhhh what the fck :)
From episode 1, into episode 2, there is a burial - between a death and being buried theres usually a few days. He seems to have been instantly buried. Nobody bothered to clear out his appartment in the mean time, so its still all there end of episode 3. Even if it was a violent death. Nobody looked into it. Really? Or how did he get buried at a public cemetary. If the bad guys buried him (alive) on purpose, then why was that in a cemetary and not just somewhere in a back forest or something. And why in a coffin? So many questions....
And just some huge plot holes... or at least seemingly huge plot holes. Why is our main guy not asking questions to this Claire woman. She claims "I was there, I called the police". So why was she there? How did she know where he would be in his car at what moment so she could hit him 'to safe his life'. He's just all accepting it without question. And if she called the police, then again - how did he get buried in a public cemetary?
The series just doesnt make any sense.
I am still interested in the series, but it all seems just a huge hot mess.
EDIT: haha in episode 4 daddy forgot how old his daughter is. She's 8 in episode 1 and suddenly daddy thinks she;'s 9. Must have hit his head too hard? :P ok this series blows. Stupidity all over.
EDIT 2: episode 5/6/7 - the dialogues are getting worse and worse and more and more dump stupid and pointless. The supporting music is ''really'' elevating the drama (not). Also since it's keep being the same music over and over and over again. Even there the amount of available budget seems to have been limited :)
And to top it all off: an experienced FBI agent is taking her brand new boyfriend to a safe house. Really? And she doesnt get suspended or at the very minimum suspended. Again.... really?
"Sir I got something. other agent: OK we got something, lets load up and move out!" Uhh.... what do yo have? Is it actionable even???
Very much enjoyed season 1, even if it was already hinting a bit too much at feminist tendancies.
Season 2 is just full out men hating. And suddenly muslim refugees and Palestinians are victims of course. The Woke mind virus hits everwhere. Episodes 5 and 6 of season two are by far the weakest. Here's hoping that it wont be the last of Stella we see in those 2 let downs....
Still an intelligent series. Heida Reed is really carrying the series in a convincing way.
Initially the trailer caught my attention and episode 1 brought what i expected.
After that things got less great. The Mansell character got on my nerves quickly. And it makes only little sense how nobody finished him off before. Plus the whole sidestory of a crooked cop keeping Mansell safe and our of prison doesn't make any sense. He didn't have the little book before. He never approached the crooked chop neither. It's a huge plothole.
The wokeness relationships also don't make any sense. Not the gay one and not the one between our main man good honest cop and the person of interest lawyer of the main villain. Such a good honest cop would never do that. Only reason for this to be a thing is coz the producers needed an interracial relationship added to the show and the writers could not think of any logical couples.
It's too bad this nonsense keeps on being stuffed down our throats. Because these kind of things do not add to the story. Especially not if done this stupidly.
Other choices made by several main characters also felt far fetched multiple times. But the woke bs really took away from the quality of the show.
Overall season 1 started great and then quickly quality dropped. Last few episodes I went to do other things with the sound playing in the back ground and I d watch occasionally. The whole Albanian angle felt like a bad steal from Barry, or Banshee or... So many other series.
I'll still give it a decent 7 out of 10. May have been closer to an 8 without the b.s wokeness.
Season 3 was not really "the best", but Season 4 just got plain stupid childish. Disappointing.
Worst. Season. Ever. (season 6). Quickly get through this crap and head onto a muslim-free season 7. That's a first in a long time, where its not all about stupid or evil muslims, but we're back to the cold war/propaganda war. Finally. So. Get over season 6 asap and get to season 7.
I was very sad to hear it got cancelled :(
I enjoyed it a lot.
for people who want to consider watching it, there is an ending to the series. it is semi-open, but it does give closure.
Kind of to my surprise i really enjoyed this. I binged season 1 completely. Ok, its a bit predictable and its nothing really original, but overal it's quite well done. It takes on both racial inequality AND the woke cancel culture bullshit both at once. Great job. Quite refreshing to call out the woke over the top angry screamers, who dont really care about being right, but just screaming the most loud to become right.
Hilary Swank is really carrying this series though. Without her there would be not much there in al fairness. Most of the story line per episode seems to be written by some students doing their first scripts and are having trouble to come up with something totally fresh and new. The underlying storyline over the whole season 1 is decent enough though.
This is like a modern version of Lethal Weapon on nearly every kind of upper known the man :) Very much enjoyed the first few episodes. Sure its all over the top. Like.... by a lot. But in a fun way. Just dont take it all too serious. The series doesnt take themselves very serious either :)
