Pretty good series, too bad it ended after just the first season. There is a proper ending, so dont discard it just coz it got cancelled. Starz has been good at cancelling quality series and let utter crap continue on; this is one of those. Of course its another series about people with special abilities, but this is not Marvel or DC - give it a chance.
There is this: it's just not funny. Not at all. I wanted to watch this because of Peter Stormare, but not even he is funny. Watched 3 episodes and it's just .... well, nothing. Cliche after cliche and - again, nothing funny.
This mini-series is not bad, but its rather slow paced and feels a bit low budget.
Do note that there is a 3-episode (or even 2-episode) mini-series which is this current one, set in a historic timeline in early 1900's and there is a 8-episodes modern-day version.
What a weird series. It's ADULT animation. It's all seperate short stories and most are no more then around 10 minutes, filled with gore, nudity and just crazy shit in general. Not bad, not superb.
Season 4 became a retarded kids series. At least, first half. Second half was a bit better, but then the series already got canceled. Anyway, at least it has a proper ending.
The series never got above the quality of the movies and Warehouse 13 is definitely the best of the two. But it's pretty good entertainment overall.
Ugh,........ with Hugh Laurie and Ethan Philips and a HBO production budget I had huge expectations. Even after having read the (VERY) negative comments from people I still thought "how bad can it be". Apparently : very. Very bad. What a disappointment. It's not funny. It's not new. It's not smart. Even running gags (apparently that's what it supposed to be?) like the delay in communication is totally stupidly used so that its just annoying and nothing funny. All about this series is just plain, simple and most of all : stupid. A total disappointment.
Better check out The Orville, if you havent already!
The series finished and it has a real ending (and better at least then Dexter ;) ).
Season 1 has been good. The switching between present and past made the story - at times - hard to follow and even downright confusing. Had that been done in a better way, to make it much more clear it were jumps back and forward in time - the story most likely would have made more sense.
I still really enjoyed the show. Hopefully season 2 will follow soon.
Season 1 was absolutely superb. Binge watched it competely. Season 2 starts out great too.
I can give only 1 negative comment about the series, which is that supposedly the girls are around 16 - which just doesnt match up with their behaviour and actions (and how they look, as the actresses are real life 24'ish). Would have made so much more sense if they'd be 18/19/20 or so. Would not have had to change anything for the story, in my opinion.
I've enjoyed this series a lot, each season has its own distinct set, characters and a small set of main issues. Season 5 was a bit less good, season 6 was omg dreadful. It was slow and nearly painful to get through season 6. And then came....... season 7. In 1 word: WOW. Loved it. They totally aced that season. Ok, the tiny plothole still occurred here and there, but at least its not a total insult to everyone's intelligence (compared to for example the utterly retardedness in Blindspot). Season 6 was a good basis for the events in season 7, so you cannot really skip season 6 altogether, but I postponed getting into season 7 as I was not expecting a huge improvement over the endless drama of the previous season. Praise the Lord, my expectations were too low :-)
Season 2 was amazing. Season 1 was an endless string of useless battles and braindead voilence and pointless fist fights. Season 2 should have been the first and this series would have been absolutely amazing. I gave the first season a 4 out of 10 evaluation and that was being kind. Season 2 is easily 7 out of 10 and perhaps better. It's a shame this is going to be the end of it, considering I did manage to work my way through season 1 and I got only one good season as a reward.
Season 1 : 10 out of 10. Great series, unique, refreshing.
Season 2 : Hmpf.... wtf happened to season 1's writers?! 7 out of 10, some episodes came close to season 1 quality (8 or 9 out of 10), most mediocre at best.
Season 3 : omgwtfbbq. 5 out of 10 max. Attempt at doing time travel in a unique way perhaps was succesful, but everything else was totally and utterly crap. Huge disappointment. The final 2 episodes saved it, but only just.
I SERIOUSLY hated the ending. So sad. Good that it got cancelled. Season 3 was crap, season 2 was so-so. Basically they should have stopped at season 1 - which was great.
That last "season" should not have been made. Oh my God its totally shite. And why? Some black-washing spin-off or re-do or something? Terrible. I had this series at 9 out of 10, but unfortunately they havent been able to keep up the quality of the first 3 season's. Still, it remained quite good.... but that last season should not have been made. the last episode of the second-last season was a great goodbye to all characters and brought the story to a close. And then someone decided lets make a new series and try to cash-in on the popularity of Once Upon a Time..... terrible. So. My advice: enjoy this series and DO NOT watch a single second of the last season.
I enjoyed the firs episode a lot, felt like a 'totally different' type of superhero series. Potentially as good as Deadpool.... that feeling only lasted that first episode and a little bit into episode 2. After that it turned crap. The lack of visible emotions on the robot and the bandage man dont help, but it all just feels so fake and ... just uninteresting. I do not care for the main characters at all, I dont feel their 'pain' so to say.
Only the girl with all the personalities is an interesting character and seems also a good actor.
I struggled through the next 5 episodes, fast forwarded episode 7 and 8 and... now I deleted the rest. I'm out.
I loved season 1. Season 2 got a huge "big brother" and tin foil hats ring to it. Season 2 ends with a cliffhanger, although it does finish up most story lines so it's still possible to watch and enjoy.
But you can also stick with just only watching season 1 :-)
Great show. It has a bit of a sad atmosphere, because Mary has a lot of interaction with terminally ill patients. But if you can get around that, the story is quite good and compelling. There are 3 seasons and it brings everything to a close.
In some ways it reminds me of Dexter, in some ways of Good Behaviour.
Recommended to (binge) watch.
I really enjoyed season 1, but season 2 took a wrong turn. Ultimately ending in it being axed. Too bad, I was very much interested if a third season would bring it back on track.
Season 1 : 9 out of 10.
Season 2: 6 out of 10.
Overal, since there is no proper ending to the series: 7 out of 10.
Too much racial stuff and way too much wannebe-political correctness. Add a weird messy story to the mix and perhaps a focus on a viewing audience of around 16-17 and you got a.... really crap series.
I still gave it 3 episodes, but gave up as there was no sign of improvement, not the story picking up any pace.
stunningly good series. It's a totally new interpretation of Jack Ryan and his road to fame within the CIA, loosely based on the original novels and unrelated to any movie or whatever. I enjoyed season 1 a lot. It's graphical and definitely worth a R rating for all that can lead to it. Looking forward to season 2 and 3 (season 3 has already been confirmed before season 2 finished shooting)
Superb series.
- Original.
- Interesting story line.
- Impressive acting
- Surprising.
- An amazing look into the brain of a schizophrenic - or not?
- not a just-another-super-hero series
If you like this series, be sure to check out "Good Behaviour". It's a much better series in any possible way
A great series that gets you totally engaged from the very first minute. At first I was surprised to read that Hugh Dr House Laurie got into a doctors role again. I didnt read the full synopsis. I was a bit sceptical about this most likely being a sort of "lets try to be as succesful as that other doctor" - totally wrong. The opening episode created a basis for the rest of the season, one that I did not expect. From the third episode or so I thought I knew exactly in what way it was heading, but I kept wanting to see more to find out if I was right or not. Every episode there was one or even more extra pieces to the puzzle. But still, no total overview. And at some point I started wondering if I even was working on the right puzzle. It's amazing how basically everyone in this series is crazy - at least to some extend. And the path that Eldon Chance is taking towards ... (what?) is also very interesting to follow. I totally enjoyed it.
Of course, the series takes 'real' (neuro)psychology a bit lightly, and split personalities also don't really work in the way the series shows - but I'll accept some artistical liberties on that. Overal a very interesting series which kept me entertained from the first episode all the way till the end.
I don't see yet how they will be able to make a season 2 story as well thought-out as this without becoming dull or just plain and simple weird...
I managed to watch a few episodes, but then just lost interest. Perhaps for people who like old fashioned crime series or true batman fans. There are simply too many annoying characters in this show; top of the bill being Fish. I gave up. It's not really a bad series, but totally not even close to being my favorite either. I simply prefer series like Continuum, Person of Interest, Blacklist and The Americans.
I really dont understand why this mini-series was not actually picked up as a pilot to a real series. It really deserved at least another mini-series or shortened season. Great story and great basis for a very interesting plot. I do not agree on the "bad acting" comments at all.
This series feels a bit like White Collar in many ways, just with a woman in some weird semi-victim role. The acting is a bit so-so; I wonder if it will get a second season. It's a good time-filler though and not too important if you need to step out for a minute or so. Not bad, if it gets renewed I'll keep watching.
Too bad the lead acctress took up another gig. I hope she'll come back to this series. We still need the actual formation of SHIELD to happen.
Really superb show. It has many elements from many shows I enjoy, but putting them all together in the mix it comes out totally unique. Closest resembling show might be Dark Matter; which is not a bad thing :)
I very much enjoyed this show; feels a lot like The Librarians, but the chemistry between the lead actors is better, the humor is better and ... well the whole show is just better.
I loved this show. Season 1 and 2 were superb. Too bad it all went to sh*t after that. The going back in time and creating alternate timelines was the worst they could do to this series. Really a shame, would have enjoyed to watch more of season 1/2 quality.
