I have loved Gremlins since I was a little girl. I LOVE this show. The animation is weird but I adjusted to it quickly. This is a prequel, the backstory of how The Old Man got Gizmo. It’s weird and dark, and magical in ways that would not translate to live action. I will forever remain hopeful for a Gremlins 3, but for a prequel I cannot wait to see where this goes.
Also - this has an all star cast, Steven Spielberg produced, and written by the OG Gremlins writer.
10/10 totally recommend, especially for fellow Gremlins fans. It’s not what we grew up on, but it’s enough to keep that nostalgia alive.
I very much needed this! I loved it, and i'm so happy I stumbled upon it!
An excellent adaptation of a beloved graphic novel. The book was so important because there are not that many books that provides representation for kids living with deafness.
The graphic novel gave me the impression that the book was to be for lower-mid primary school readers. The TV adaptation confirmed that.
It takes time to get use to the audio mix, especially the fading in/out and muffled voice. It helps to know that it was deliberately done that way to give viewers a sense of how a person with hearing aids experience the world.
:(
In my opinion, this show is not very good, watch the original version, it is much better.
Craazy show. Just as crazy as the novels, I had read these books when I was a teenage and loved them I was not expecting much of the tv show as these sort of books rarely translate well to TV but although I have only seen the first episode it really did justice to the spirit of the novels in its own way. While it diverges from the books in plot I think that is a good thing. Looking forward to the next episode. Be prepared for a trip if you watch this.
The Hardy Boys (2020) - :heart:x7
I like this show a lot more than some of the other similar properties that have been re-imagined (Riverdale, Sabrina, Nancy Drew). This one is staying truer to the source material rather than making it more adult-oriented. Which in my opinion makes for a better show.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
