How did they even get into the casino?

@papanz Vegas has been a family destination for decades with arcades, rides, and other activities for kids. You don't have to be 21 to enter a casino. You only have to be 21 to gamble. Kids can be in the casinos, they just can't gamble or stop and watch people gambling. =)
props to my boy Dylan G for holding that position for what seemed like an eternity!

Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to put the robots (replicas) on the space mission? Like duh? They do not need life support system, food, and physical activity. Would it be nicer if they actual humans stayed in their homes and spend their time with family?
Somehow, the pilot of story twisted to make us watch 80 minutes episode, almost as long as a movie. Just to tell us that we need to take care of our family and loved ones! The only explanation for this movie plot is that the astronauts were already in a long distance space mission and later on, they have decided to make the replicas for their families.

@masoudhaghi Beyond the handwaive that they're studying the effects of human life in space, I don't think it'd make more sense to have the replicas in space. Aaron Paul's character is shown having trouble with his grip in the opening scenes. You'd want those sort of problems to be happening in the lower stakes personal life on earth instead of on the high-stakes mission if you're in charge.
this season had some great twists. i really do love what they've done with the book's original content. will i ever recover from the love quinn slander though?? questionable

@birdcages Question, as someone who hasn't read the books, is it similar? Or did they make some big changes?
Terrifying, these people are using God for political purpose

@catlania And severe sexual, mental, and physical abuse.
I'm enjoying it so far (3 episodes in), but I want to rate it higher just because it's upsetting so many people that don't like shows about empowered women

@adashovelace That is, unfortunately, the norm, but especially so on Trakt. It's heavily male dominated with a certain 'nerdy' flavour. Certain stereotypically male TV shows will show support that seems unprobably high, and vice versa.
Something common here is that people watch one episode, decide they hate it, and rate the entire show down (rather than the episode) as a result. There will have been people who immediately jumped to giving this a 1/10 because they don't understand how a useful system works. I think that is mostly gender-neutral and happens on any show, just compare the rating of a new series with the ratings on the first few episodes. It's typical to see a 60/80 split, for example.
However, whenever there is is a woman featured as the prominent character on the poster, the series rating goes down. If they aren't conventionally attractive, the rating goes down. If the description features anything you could construe as strong-female-lead, the rating goes down. Most of all, if someone watches half the first episode and discover there's a joke directed at a man, an LGBT+ person exists, male actors predominately play side characters, etc, etc, etc then it suddenly because "woke shit" and that moron will rate it a 1/10, artificially deflating the rating due to incomprehensible bigotry.
This site has a lot of it. I have come across literal Nazis in the comments of pro-Nazi propaganda movies from the 30s, and the admins on the site don't do anything when it's reported, so having some way to counteract bigotry when it comes to a handful of shows that involve women or minorities is not something I see them attempting to address.
For me personally, I find it annoying that I can't get an idea of a show at first glance. The ratings don't mean much, good shows get buried, and the comments can be a cesspit. This show could genuinely be awful, but if embarrassing men are commenting about how triggered by wokeness they are, then how am I meant to tell?
I can't believe I spent a whole day watching 8 episodes of this junk.
So disappointing.loading replies
@tiger451966 It must have been amazing and great for you to spend 8 hours straight watching it!
Thanks, no woke garbage. Finally

@edgrande you kind of need to get some mental work done due to "woke" that is on your head 24/7 when reading your comments on other places.

Well... I'm glad I still got 15 seasons to watch. This season has it's good moments, but my overall conclusion is: entertaining yet unsatisfactory.

@typongtv As a longtime fan of the show, I thought it was an excellent season, but I'm sure my attachment to the characters helps. One would do themselves a service to watch the seasons in order.
gonna watch this just to spite the angry white man in the comments who's upset about black people and gay shit being on tv

@birdcages Big same. Pretty sure the book is all but explicit in the fact that Louis and Lestat are a queer couple.

This show is truly just mediocre drivel. Poor CGI, poor writing, the only appeal it might have to some, are the occasional cameo and reference... but at what cost?
I regret watching this, but do so only so I can say I genuinely sat through it, yet found it to be garbage.
I cannot imagine this show getting the ratings they were hoping for. With a bit of luck, this will be a short-lived nightmare.

@alexnader So...stop? There's a whole lot of TV out there, why would you waste time watching something you hate?
I'm surprised that this film has a relatively low rating on Trakt. I really enjoyed the futurism, the themes of disillusionment and identity and the philosophical themes explored.

@halane 100% agree with your comment, except for a small footnote:
Replace the word Asian for independent. This is an American film, all of the main characters are also (Asian) American. However this is not a Hollywood (or directly related) production. Independent films tend to be slower, plenty of fast paced Asian films too.
And to add, it is a soul crushing film so I can understand where the relatively low rating might come from.
Confusing and boring
Don’t believe what you see in the trailer, it was very slow paced and all the “ghosts” in this movie were just all confusing. Nothing made sense and all the scary scenes were all over the place.
This movie could have had potential if it focused on the refugees doing good for the country they are staying in.
But combining this with horror just didn’t work out

@usagiwhitenight "This movie could have had potential if it focused on the refugees doing good for the country they are staying in." You've missed the point so completely it's honestly embarrassing.
Jonathan Majors , love the dude, but that performance was godawful. He kinda reminded me of Jesse Eisenberg in Batman V Superman

@jordyep I personally think he nailed it. I think this was done to emphasize what will be the stark contrast in Keng later on. Just predicting, but I think we're going to see some mean motherfucker down the line and look back at this and say dammmmn and this could've been the version we dealt with? Sylvie fucked up!

@jordyep I can see why some people would think he was way over the top but that's how the character was written. You can't deliver ridiculous lines like that subtlety.
Not really a comment about the movie but kind of interesting. My mother and aunt went to high school with the kid that killed his family, he was a junkie and killed them while high and looking for money. The whole supernatural element was made up by his defense lawyer in an attempt to get an insanity ruling (which failed). I grew up a few minutes away from the house in Amityville NY, and up until about two years ago you could still fully recognize it (the boathouse was dead on to the movie) but to finally put an end to drunk teenagers sneaking around their property the new owners finally did a complete tear down and rebuilt. So nothing cool happened, and nothing cool to look at on foggy nights anymore, but it is definitely a cool story from my hometown.

@enemyjay "he was a junkie and killed them while high and looking for money"
Um...I mean, I can believe going to school with him, but how do they know what was happening during the murders? They weren't there, nobody was. And all found laying in the same position, no reactions, no stirring, nobody heard gunshots. I'm not sure what happened, but I've heard about a second gunmen, which helped him get the job done, I've heard mafia hit, I've heard the supernatural side (obviously), but looking for money so he kills 6 people? (I didn't mention the high bit because being high doesn't automatically make you a murderer, that's some Reefer Madness bullhonky).
I know i shouldn't compare it to Sherlock but gorram i can't fucking help it. It pales in comparison, and that's a bad thing because i can't concentrate on what's happening. Elementary seems like a retarded parasitical twin that should've been killed at birth but was nurtured by the deranged aunt. Everything about it is... average. There's no spark from Liu and Miller. It's just not there. You can't argue "Oh why can't we do an interpretation of Sherlock Holmes?" or something along those lines, when the fact is, the writing is what makes it. No one will ever match the quality of Sherlock without kidnapping Moffat et al and forcing them to write scripts in the dead of the night.
People who haven't seen Sherlock (most Americans surely) will probably like this show, but for those who have seen Sherlock and are eagerly anticipating the 3rd season, this show will bore you to dead. No, seriously. I'd rather watch Revolution (actually fuck no, i take that back).
Oh and before anyone makes a comment about the books, i've read them. Before watching Sherlock and before the 1st Sherlock Holmes movie with RDJ.
Watch Sherlock.

You'll have to revisit this show. It started off as a weak knock-off but it has grown to become quite brilliant. In 2012 I would have agreed with you. But in 2016 your review seems completely wrong.
