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.
I enjoyed season 1 a lot. Season 2 got weirder and weirder and also less good for my taste, it seemed like halfway season 2 they were out of storyline and just started to make things up as they got along week by week. Season 3 was pure agony to get through with this whole city of light bullcrap. I really hope season 4 will regain the former flow. Something that would help would be to get rid of Jaha for good. Any storyline involving him is annoying and tedious.
If you love Arrow, then sure, watch this.... more of the same. Just with even worse acting.
It's a mix of Guardians of the Galaxy and Arrow. With Guardians of the Galaxy being the worst of all Marvel movies in my opinion.. and this isnt any better. Actually, it's far worse.
DC has never been my favorite, not even Batman or Superman.
Every time it's being confirmed again.
There are a few fun references in the series here and there (best one sofar being Wentworth Miller saying 'this is not my first prison break'), but where in The Flash it's often good for a laugh or two, here its mostly just disappointing.
The most annoying thing about the series is the continous "lessons" about how we all have to help each other, that we can do things better if we allow for others to help us and how we have to believe in ourselves and dont dwell in the past, but look into the future and blablalabla. Every.Single.Episode. Over and over again. And sooooo incredibly over the top.
The only positive thing about this series is Sarah (since Sarah > Laurel).
On the other hand, one of the most negatives from The Flash, being Martin Stein - who absolutely cant act - is also in this series.
And of course that hawk-goddess isnt much of an actress either, as we've seen already in the Arrow/Flash mashup. I really dont get it why the producers still got her onto this show after that dramatic acting performance. In this series she continues that sub-par acting performance. Just like Stein.
Not my cup of tea. Pun intended. I watched 3 episodes. It didnt get any better. British street tugs in some horror flick for the first episodes and then business as usual. Not interesting for me. I'm not a big fan of British series, time and again it's confirmed. I dont know why I still bother trying. Perhaps I'll try the American version of this series some time.
Is this really a comedy? If yes, then the humor is beyond me. I watched 3 episodes and I didnt smile even once. Feels more like a misplaced documentary of a silicon valley startup. Or something like that.
Season 1 started a bit slow and I was not sure in what way it would develop. With all the superhero movies and series going on, I was a bit sceptic if yet another series would be worth my time. Then I watched the linked series Jessica Jones and Daredevil more or less side by side. Not bad; I enjoyed it. Jessica Jones was a bit too much drama and too much psycho stuff for my taste, but my g.f. enjoyed it a lot with the strong woman in the lead and heck, overall I can say that it didn't bore me :)
Now season 2 has come and I just finished watching the last episode. It's been feeling a bit repetitive in the last few episodes and also extremely predictable. I wont give any spoilers, but the ending I could really see coming a mile away, even the side story about Frank and how everything comes together again at the end. Not extremely bad, considering it's a series and not a movie, but it could have been a tad little bit less totally obvious what would be happening. Some unexpected plot turns is what keeps things interesting... this season did not have any.
Also one additional point of criticism is that season 2 has become way too graphic. Cutting off hands, ripping throats, pulling out eyes, cutting into prisoners legs, very grapich torture on just about every single episode, putting Sai's into bad guys eyes... etc. Too much guys! Not needed to try to gross people out completely. Turn it down a notch please, ok?
However, I'm still looking forward to season 3 and the -sooner or later to be expected- formation of the Defenders. But I guess that wont be until at least 2017 as we're still lacking the introduction of Iron Fist, as far as I know. I dont believe this to be a spoiler, as most fans know about it and else a quick look around Google will tell you the (Netflix) Defenders being Daredevil, Jessico Jones, Lucas Cage(from Jessica Jones), Ironfist.
Not really my cup of tea. Season 1 seemed all about gore. Season 2 seemed to be all about sex and intrigue. I gave up. It's not a bad series, but I guess you should be into raw history and mythology, to enjoy this series.
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.
I loved the first episodes of season 1... but season 2 really got to a high level of WTF...
final episode was a bit disappointing to my taste, but at least not as dreadfully bad as DEXTER.
oh well, we have closure. tnx.
I really enjoy this show, the humor is top notch, and a good amount of action.
my God... episodes are getting worse and worse and worse.
Season 4 is really a total disappointment.
I hope they will make an end to the series soon, before it gets cancelled without a proper ending :(
Acting seems to be going downhill, even by the regulars in the cast, conversations are so predictable they hardly have to say anything anymore at all anyway and this whole Messiah crap is really getting to me (Frank Herbert, anyone?). Seems the creators are totally out of inspiration and have started copying random other series and movies and throwing it into a mixer and then hope for a proper story coming out of it. That is definitely a fail.... they really should have brought an end to this series at season 3, instead of dragging a great series on and on into oblivion.
season 1 and 2 were superb, now it's just stretching things thin :(
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.
Ziva (heart)
and Ducky is also cool :)
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
great show!
I was thinking about rating a 9 or 10, but decided that I cant really think of much to improve in this series so I stick with a 10.
some plot twists you can see coming a mile away, but.... most of them really caught me off guard.
one of the best series on my watchlist for sure.
One of my most favourite shows, great sarcasm, wits, very smart/intelligent, great personalities and hell I'd love to be like Harvey :)
again a great sci-fi show which got cancelled way too early :(
I really hope they finish the show with a movie, like they did with Firefly
or continue the show by creating some movies, like they did for SG-1
too bad it got cancelled :( it started of so good...
I really loved the first 2 episodes and I thought I had a new favourite with the way Ray is a fixer - how he solves his shit by being a bit borderline immoral himself..... but then it started to become a drag and boring, developing more into some 2nd rate wannebee mafia families series, but not quite getting there. I havent even bothered finished watching season 1, although the last episodes are already waiting for me on the media player. sorry to say, but after a great start, it has become utterly boring.
