As a big fan of the comic, i'm here for this! Also, not entirely on-board with the 'this is too light-hearted' sentiments, seeing that a large portion of humanity is wiped out via a viral pandemic. Kind of grim and dark, imo, and it gets more so as the series goes along.
Visually stunning and great performances, too! Recommended.
Can't explain why, but I just didn't care for the kid's story. Also the dad, quite forgettable. Whereas S03E01 of Mr. Inbetween, we see a dad who has a total of 2-3 minutes screen-time, and I bawled my eyes out for his death
Is this supposed to be a show for younger audiences ... I can't tell yet. Seemed very "light-hearted".
Also small side note, but come on ! The kid's never seen a black man in his life and they wanna makes us believe first thing he's gonna mention is his height, gimme a break, lol. Honestly, it's fine to yell out "Black man" at the big black man. Jesus where is the world going.
I was really looking forward to this, as the promise of what it could be is rather enticing.
I'm not entirely on board with the execution however. Seems like it might have been hyped up a bit too much.
I had some problems with for example, if you're out with your kid in the woods, you never know what happens, you might get into an accident, you HAVE to have a contingency plan. Like a document, a letter, that will explain to him how the world really works, and what the fuck money is, so that he wouldn't just throw it all away (which in itself I thought was stupid as well, after all it was in a box that was marked like a treasure, so unless Gus really is a stupid boy (and they didn't portray him as such), even if he doesn't know what it is, he'd have realised it has some sort of value. That he just tossed it all out made me cringe). The fact he didn't leave him anything like it, DESPITE going to the effort to hiding that box from him and making a treasure map is just a grave oversight and basically could have killed Gus. Ignorance in a world like that, as we soon see it, is deadly. So I have quite a big problem with that.
And I'm not really on board with how the characters are portrayed, they're a bit too comical. I suppose... if this is marketed for children, then maybe I can see why they would have made the first bad guys to appear seem so clowny. But I still don't think they would have HAD to do it that way. A lot of villains in a lot of PG stuff are really mean, even terrifying, and it works much better.
Well, the world is interesting, so I'll keep watching. It just didn't meet my expectations.
Tommy’s gun looks sick. Wasn’t the best first episode but i like it so far. I like Nonso Anozie so ill give it a shot, i know him from Zoo which was a horrible series but i liked his character there also and i loved Gus’s father he was the main character in “The Last Man On Earth” which was one of my favorite shows.
Oh my god, the first episode was already soo beautiful! It gave me so many emotions, had lots of cuteness, and the visuals were absolutely stunning!
Loved the first episode, as did 13yo grandson.
Was so excited to see Will Forte in this show because he was awesome in Last Man On Earth. Shame he had to die in the first episode. The show is interesting so far, I’ll keep watching.
