This show is fucking amazing. Deserved a lot more recognition and credit than it did. Also I'm glad they ended it with a solid wrap up and didn't milk the show just to make money like most shows nowadays. Danny McBride is brilliant, Walton Goggins is FUCKING brillliant.
Just watched the first two episodes, and am finding it hard to relate to these ultra rich 0.1% teens with first world problems and cardboard cutout parents. Implausible. Indeed all the characters seem to be predictable stereotypes so far, and it feels like every 3-6 minute scene could have been slashed to 20 or 30 seconds without loss of plot or art.
And WTF is up with the opulent wealth that every character in this show is wallowing in. The world they portray of rich parents without real world problems (or day jobs apparently) frankly pisses me off. It's like the 99.9% of us who live in the middle and lower classes, and who actually must watch our money, don't exist. Rich ass white writers is what it smells like to me.
Anyway, I'll give episode 3 ten minutes, but if something doesn't become relevant, interesting or believable soon, then I'm done.
Don't know where the high ratings come from. This show is not good. It's slow, empty, cliché and totally not "cool" or "tough". Luke Cage was the only show that was nice to watch. Probably something to do with the American cliché of having the worst life, drinking alcohol to drown in your sorrows and having had loss (which we all have in our lives). Being able to relate doesn't make this a good show. Hoped for a surprise, but it's nothing special and even a bit bad..
A big disappointment. Flat and stereotype story. Only seen the first episode though so maybe it changes...
I don't know... Great acting, pretty good character development, but boring. I don't want to rate it because I think it just might not be the show for me. I'm a fan of unrealistic, over-the-top shows and a fan of realistic dramas. I just don't like when a show tries to do both. But that's just me....
Just watched the pilot and this is a superb show!
Slickly written with good choice of cast and well acted, the directing is pretty top notch.
It's not dumbed down like allot of trash; it shows the emotional reasons why some smart poor kids turn to crime and has a sinister political twist to boot.
Hope it gets the audience and recognition it deserves, think this is going to be a hit!
When did the Aussies start making great tv like this? With zombies, love triangles, murder, mystery and drama, it delivers a great story with minimal special affects. Well worth a watch.
Good acting, it is a shame they went with the Scooby Doo writers guild. They had so many options for the writers to do more than making just another cop show. Zombies, crime writers, cops from the future, people with amnesia all fighting crime. Seems that the only professions that exist in TV land are cop, cop sidekick, doctor or lawyer.
Absolute RUBBISH !!!! I really struggled to watch the first 1 hour long episode and can honestly say I would rather have slit my throat and eaten my eyeballs at the same time.
I personally found this show awful. It just seemed slow and lacklustre. I have absolutely no caring about the main characters, Odin is okay but Shadow is really boring as hell. The episode diverge in to random really boring back stories and the finale was terrible....I will not be watching season 2
It's "Hannibal" minus the food.
Hopefully it's the start of more Stephen King adaption shows on Hulu and also Netflix. This is definitely better than Under the Dome. With a solid plot and fine acting.
Wow. This was awful. Great cast. Somehow they forgot to make it interesting. As far as storytelling goes this is a mess. Sometimes I wonder what script writers make in a year. Because I could have written this drunk on the back of a camel last spring and it would have made more sense.
What a load of crap. The acting was dreadful. Give this a wide berth if possible. Story line was rubbish too. Total thumbs down for me.
Well this show is more annoying than suprising xD I'm out.
Great take on gangland in Dublin Ireland.
Pretty good series, likely better than if CBS hadn't passed on it after the pilot episode -- Amazon is a good new home for it. Fairly engaging story, especially around episode 4 once it starts snowballing down a hill, gathering plot twists and characters along the way. Mostly believable acting -- even if the criminal characters tend to be stereotypical. Would be better with more grit, but it's not bad.
