hate the stupid needless time jumping. so annoying.
Seems they just tried to stretch out this show for way too long. Probably would have been great if they'd have kept it to one long season, or maybe at most 2 seasons. Maybe they can make this into a remake and keep it to a mini-series
Dumb acting. Stupid story line. Misplaced over the top dramatic music. Unlogical mini events that have no real follow-up making it - in my opinion - a woman's story thinking that guys would just let stuff go until a day or so later.
The stupid stuff is also that a police officer who has no actual real basis but then just randomly thinks every single one of her female friends is f*cking her husband. One after the next. And other unrelated drama being pulled in endlessly.
I dont think I've ever seen any other group of 'friends' who are so guinely screwed up.
A rather unintelligent plot that tries to make itself sound really smart. It is entertaining to watch, but mostly (only) thanks Elisabeth Moss.
The childess nonsense behavior that's being forced between the 2 male spy handlers Malik and Max says it all.
Which also actually is an unfortunate sign of yet another Disney series infected by the woke mind virus:
- all white men are evil. literally, every white guy you see is evil and you will be shown in detail how evil
- every black guy is disrespected by said white guys (and white women too by the way for good measure)
- every muslim is just a victim of western behavior and you should not call them radicalised because they are only fighting for their... uhh... not sure for what, just fighting, even amongst themselves and killing everyone in the process, if necessary by exploding nukes
- a woman doesnt need a man, it does not matter who the father of your baby is, as a woman you just want a kid ( - no not even sarcasm from my side, it was literally said )
This is an interesting series and it keeps you interested from start to finish. Eventhough the whole plot is predictable from basically minute 1.
Unfortunately the woke virus has struck this series badly. Every white guy is a bad guy; every white woman is naieve but finds a way to empower herself; the black guy is a victim of everyone else but he has his revenge on the evil white world; religious people are all crazy/obsessive/etc.
It's sad as it brings down the series for me, by a lot.
It's just popcorn entertainment. And with alcohol, a lot of alcohol. So you dont notice how weak the stories are. For example episode 1x02 where he break in, has obviously stolen items in his posession and then police arrives and arrests the bad guys. Uhhhh right. Reality will be that police arrests at the very least the burglar, and in doubt arrests everyone to take them to the police station and figure things out later. I see people referring to The Finder, I was thinking more about Pointman (1995), but I guess that shows my age mostly :)
Anyway. It's watchable. Just corny and not very intelligent.
Well... what to say about this. It's not bad. It's not superb. It has a bit of a Da Vinci's Demons - vibe to it. Not surprisingly also a Stars series, come to think of it.
The ending was just so predictable... I saw it coming somewhere in episode 2 already. The whole evil duke of norfolk personality made little sense to me and overal it was just.... well.... not so smart or special.
Anyway. I still enjoyed it enough, dont get me wrong. Just over-hyped.
I very much enjoyed the first few seasons. Great fun and almost like watching a behind the scenes of the Trump precidency screwing up everything possible to be screwed up. Then at some point in season 5 or 6 it all became just too much hate, really like watching the Trump administration.
Selina was at first a little bit of a narcissistic screw-up of a underdog that you sort-off still wanted to root for. Then she became more and more that c-word and non-stop treating everyone like garbage. Then it became too much. I just started to strongly disliking her, especially the way she was treating her daughter... the showrunners probably should have given her at least a little bit of humanity still... too bad they didnt. I believe that is what killed this series eventually. Season 6 was very weak.
On the plus side, at least season 7 brought us a proper and good closing of the series.
Poor Gary.
Amazing cast, superb acting.
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........
season 1 : great.
season 2 : shite
season 3 : superb!
Too bad it ended after the third season, though it's understandable that the inspiration and stories were done.
I loved season 1.
Season 2 with this endless b.s. about book of leaves started to be annoying and was a huge change from season 1.
Season 3 was just crap. Not a good change from how interesting season 1 was.
Im not a big fan of Anthony Mackie.
Too many annoying one-liners where he seems to want to sound like Will Smith.
The opening scenes are a bit too much Mad Max meets Death Race. But ok. That seems the whole goal of this series.
Also a shame that immediately the whole racism card needs to come up again with 'John Doe' saying "talking to a mildly intimidating white lady" why the skin color is important?
Anyway. If you dont take this stuff seriously, then its entertaining enough. Set your expectations low and you might even be surprised.
Quite enjoyable series. If you like series like Banshee, Justified and Barry, deffo give this a try. Quite short episodes, so a whole season is gone before you know it.
Season 3 is the last and has a pretty decent ending to it.
I absolutely loved season 1. Season 2 not so much. Loads of plotholes and totally illogical scenes, not very intelligent dialogues and just pointless violence that really seems specifically setup to become a violet fight. Its just nothing like season 1.
Season 1 - 9.5 out of 10
Season 2 - 5.5 out of 10
I basically binged this entire series. I enjoy cop-shows, but this outshines nearly any out there.
Only a few get close. Banshee being one.
There are very few weak episodes in this series.
Season 6 is a bit too graphical for my taste, but at least its a very good and proper ending and gives a close to basically all story lines.
Very enjoyable.
Woke report: the woke virus had not hit us yet when this series was made. So no crazy woke crap.
Season 1 started as a typical police series, but from episode 4 everything went off the rails. Too much coincidence where the main characters only get more and more intertwined without logic.
Note that this series is not family friendly, there is a lot of nudity and violence.
Michael C Hall is showing to be (again) he's a truely good actor, carrying all of this.
Several of the supporting actors are mediocre at best. Several of the kids are truely great though.
The series is very complicated with many characters who all have their own secret agendas.
Plottwists galore. A typical Coben's series. In many ways I enjoy this more than Fool me Once or The Stranger.
Too much weird shit for me.
Feels a lot like art school students got some budget and this was the result
Watched the first 2 episodes and started to fall asleep in the third episode. The first episode had something interesting to it all, but it was all very, very slow. The constant flashbacks were already getting annoying halfway through episode 1. On the positive side, it is quite easy at least to figure out when a flashback is going on.
Less positive is the permanent freaking-out-mom-style of the main character.
The whole semi religious freak show as a means of brainwashing is getting very old. Combine that with a pace that even BBC First usualy keeps higher, this series is.... just boring.
I was very afraid of another unwatchable piece of woke cr*p, but to my surprise - so far, 3 episodes in - it's not too bad. There's too many black washing of characters, but that's it.
The series itself is also quite decent, though it's aimed at kids/young families. It's really a remake of the 2010 movie. It lacks some sparks amongst the main characters (insert woke here) but it's been better than i dared to expect, again - so far.
Still it's a huge step down from the movie, which is to be expected when cramming every episode an entire story in a 35 minute episode.
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.
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 :)
I think I may have seen some episodes from the original series, but not many.
Bosch: Legacy can be watched perfectly fine without having watched the original series.
In a way I think I enjoy watching this series more than the original.
Maybe this was funny in 2009.
It's rude, not funny, obnoxious.
I was a bit worried about yet another woke crap series - but..... aside one totally racist "I am not having this conversation with a white guy" remark, this is actually how things should be: just a really good series! there is a high Tom Clancy / Jack Ryan vibe to it.
Not sure why Morgan Freeman is on the poster here on Trakt, he's nowhere in the series. At least not in the first 6 episodes. Completely binged this....
This series is very, very slow paced. Do not expect an action sci-fi.
Basically next to nothing happens until episode 7 / 8.
this show gave me very negative feelings, the whole reality show concept where people are driven into becoming their own worst selves is very disturbing...
I do wonder how much of this was scripted or at least manipulated.
The best part of this show is that there is no woke b.s - that at least was refreshing.
I went into this series expecting not much and was actually happily surprised. It's not as suspenseful as the book and it's cutting quite a few corners, but in general it is enjoyable.
There is a proper ending to this first season that rounds up the largest part of the story, so it is not a problem they never got to make a second season.
Too bad this got cancelled early. The early episodes were promising and anjoyable.
Later on in the series the story went off the rails entirely., but I was quite interested in seeing what way things would develop. Acting performances were quite strong in my opinion. It deserved more than it got.
Very surprising show. I expected some feminin over the top woke stuff, but not at all. Its a strong show and quite surprising. Plot twists you can see coming from quite a bit and then........... oh wait. So I enjoyed it and binged the whole season 1 in just one go.
