Finally cancelled, it was garbage, terrible writing, unlikeable characters, no-one watched it, no-one liked it, no-one cared. Good riddance.
This show should be cancelled, and erased from memory ! Star Trek should be star trek and not a woke brainwash with bad actors and worse storyline!
words cannot describe just how bad this show is. definitely the worst Star Trek, and possibly one of the worst TV shows ever. horrendous characters, dumb plots and sexual politics front and center. not only did it start at the bottom of the barrel, it dug deeper and found a basement. just awful.
The drug trials run by the US government are a potentially interesting subject.
This documentary largely fails to capitalise on the subject.
It has the same failing as many modern documentaries. It's only very tangentially about the Edgewood experiments. It's actually about the female journalist and her team of intrepid investigators. It's a "personal journey".
They even cut away from an interview with the doctor who was there to focus on the female journalist as she writes in her notebook while watching the interview.
It's such a rotten style of documentary and betrays the material.
Don't recommend this show, lots of wasted potential.
Wow, season 8 is of to an awful start. They are really perfecting the art of ruining characters. If it wasn't for me having this completionist urge I would have spared myself a long time ago.
At least this is the final season, soon I'll be free :pray:
This show is amazing and I am quite surprised at some of the comments. My thoughts are some of them never even got past the first few episodes. Stock with it as this is a show to love. It also sets up the multiverse, and Kang for the MCU so clearly more important than people say here.
It has its sweet moments but I've read "best thing I saw in the past decade", "best movie I've ever seen" and things like that and this is definitely not the case.
Moreover, I've watched things that I immediately considered masterpieces and yet I would never write something like the aforementioned - which makes me think that most of those shiny reviews were coming from overexcitable viewers.
At times too frenetic, at times too lost in its own weirdness and quirkyness. It plays out a bombing of emotions like other movies place explosions or Ryan Reynolds places wits, one every 3 seconds and I feel it's like the new target for the average 5-sec-attention-span-casual-viewer.
Like a kid in front of fireworks, eyes wide open in front of a videogame-styled movie, that viewer gets hyperstymulated and thinks he/she has never seen anything like that.
Swiss Army Man had the same basic weirdness, it was as deep as this one and yet it had no "Best. Movie. Ever." reviews. Why? No multiverse, no videogame-ish feel, no word of mouth hype that makes you feel so so cool and intellectual for liking this.
The music in this show is amazing. The storyline and writing much less so. We gave it 3 episodes and then packed it in. None of the characters are interesting and likable enough to even care if they live, die or whatever awaits them in the show. In fact the majority of them are obnoxious enough that clubbing them like a seal would benefit everyone - especially the viewer.
Overly generous 5/10
The writers want everyone to know that everything they do revolves around virtue signaling, and that they are hip with knowing about ketamine, klonopin, and butt licking. Yuck, and we are all less human for having that on film. Revolting and even with shock factor and a stupid BLM joke, just isn't enough to lead me to another episode. Please get me the last season of True Detective, HBO. This is turrible.
it was a good show. It's hard for me to really say how accurate the portrayal was as I never really watched any documentaries on Dahmer, and I don't really care to. However the acting was great, the story was interesting.
the only issue I had was some of the embellishments made by the writers. I had to research some of the scenes to see if anything like it was ever reported. one scene displayed police officers making racist and threatening calls to the father of one of Dahmers victims. i couldn't find anything to confirm that narrative.
it's pretty obvious that the police officers that were called out to investigate a child found wandering naked through a building were incompetent and careless in their "investigation". The neglect led to the death of a 14 year old boy. This is verifiable, the additional scenes regarding the officers, unnecessary and complete malarkey from what I could gather. I believe when you're telling a story based on real events you should carefully choose your embellishments, they did so poorly and in bad taste here. For that reason, 7/10.
We quite enjoyed the series, such a pity that it has been cancelled.
This film is reviewed as anything from a cult classic to complete tripe. A $200,000.00 production that has all the feel of a stage play, with three set pieces. Reactions have been from "bored" to "brilliant". It was so wordy that I fell asleep but, then, upon waking, I watched what I had missed (I don't review things I haven't completed). I'm going to take the middle road. It has the feel of a writers' room, spitballing on a movie premise. It pulls from a speculative understanding of both science and religion, and, depending on which you worship, it will eventually offend devotees of either. It gets knocked for poor acting but I disagree. The actors were faithful to their characters and the tone of the piece. It just didn't knock my socks off as good or bad, so I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Science Fiction]
It could have been better if it had more episodes. Everything happens too fast. There is no time to delve into the plot, the characters, their internal conflicts and their relationships. I was left with a bitter aftertaste after the ending. Hungry to explore the fascinating world of cyberpunk, human relationships in a world where little is left of human, one is left only with a sense of incompleteness, of superficiality. You feel that there is the potential for a deep story but the whole thing is only barely touched.
Legion feels like nothing else on TV right now. You might want to stop watching it between episode 2-4 but don't stop. It pays off. The show is legitimately terrifying and trippy as hell but maintains a balance between both. That Noah Hawley (Fargo TV show) is majorly involved in the making of Legion gives me hope we might have something great here. It's also a good thing the show is on FX who seem more willing to take a chance on shows regardless of low ratings (The Americans).
While it won't appeal to the lovers of mediocre, low quality shows like arrow, Legion is a fantastic show which I recommend strongly.
The music, the pacing and the actors are all incredibly great. Haven't seen anything this good since fargo and The Wire !
Definitly don't watch it of tyou only want "action and explosions
This is what I call quite good! Better than any X-men movie, better than any other Marvel Show. Better than any other Super hero show even!
A refreshing change from mediocre CW-style superhero series. The plot has an arc, and doesn't come off like writers are winging it each week -- some actual thought went into a story. And it's done without the emphasis on flashbacks to create a backstory. Quirky... unique... engaging... worlds better than the cookie-cutter Marvel franchise.
Season 4 is basically unwatchable. This show gets worse with every season.
Look how they massacred my boy. This show has become unbearable. I can't remember the last time I quit watching a show that I'm so invested in (timewise), but this has become not worth my time. I remember watching from s01e01 and being excited about the new paths they were taking but this thing has become a complete parody of itself. Dare I say; a puppet of the woke movement. Yes, I dare.
