It’s a shame that such a beautiful and well done show is littered with such stupid comments about language. Seriously it’s not that big of a deal.
I have just seen the first episode, and that is enough. This was awful. The acting, the story, the scenery. It also feels nothing like the games in it's "atmosphere", even with all its forced references.
But probably worst of all: it was boring.
One of the worst pilots I've ever seen. Steer clear of this one if you have any standard, even if you don't care about the games.
Watched 1st episode. It was just so boring. Poor acting plot didn’t make sense. Nothing really exciting to keep watchin. Literally felt asleep. Tv series these days aay dumb as!
It's really boring, plot moves at a glacial pace with a lot of filler in every single episode. I watched 5 episodes, and don't really care who did it at this point.
season 2 is horrible by comparison. It goes all political commentary. an absolute bore.
Wasted potential once again. Kate Winslet is immense. Matthias is immense. The acting was phenomenal, full stop. The dialogue and dramatisation was insanly hypnotising, I couldn't take my eyes and ears off any monologue. The comedy isn't necessarily funny but outrageous enough to make your whole face blink. The story was strongly driven by real-life political and personal issues, and I loved it. The plot became really rushed, unfortunately. The juice was definitely there, but the juicing wasn't. I know we shouldn't get every answer, but we shouldn't be left with 99 questions. I just wish they had given us more.
Started off a little slow then got better and better - fully hooked by end of episode 3. A lot of the dark humour also started coming in at the same time.
I really enjoyed this... until the final episode where they spend so much time throwing just about anything they could at it to lead up to a typical Hollywood ending.
The second half of the last episode was full of Hollywood cliche scenes and then after the big finale we're left with questions like: What happened the the cop(s)/Interpol people? What happened to Seamus and the baddies? How was everything resolved?
Never mind, we've thought up a smart-ass ending for one of the main characters.. that'll do... just like Hollywood.
Last episode 3/10
Big Hollywood finale 0/10
Overall I have to drop it from 8.5/10 to 6... lazy writing has consequences.
A decent ending to a long meandering season.
I never thought they could make a 2 hour movie with Emma Stone in multiple sex scene's this bad, but they did.
As a fan of Vikings I simple had to binge this. Set 100 years later we get introduced to the next generation of mythical figures. You don't need to have watched the original to be able to get into this story, at worst you'll miss a couple "I get that reference" smirks. What is clear from the start is that this show has been produced with a little tweak to the original. Same quality sets and world building but somewhat lighter. I'd say 20% less nudity, 20% more action and the drama needs to share the spotlight with political intrigue. Looks like they have a big budget, so we see bigger battles (like the siege of Paris in the original series) as well as the skirmishes. I think it lands somewhere between the original Vikings and The last Kingdom. If you are a fan of either I can highly recommend this season.
I absolutely loved loved and loved this. Just watch without reading too much into it.
Oh look another show that has its natural flow interrupted by the same ol' industry standards plaguing everything else in the last few years. Hire hack writers who don't care about the source, hire every checkbox in the book, and then blame it on the fans for not liking it. Next.
Tries to be overly complicated. Which makes it a MEH.
Started off well but went downhill like a rollercoaster. Gave it an hour and it made no sense at all. Done.

The "missions" have always been weak and not made much sense. But it was easy to overlook because their chemistry and falling for each other was fun and brought joy.
With the past few episodes just having them hating on each other, they've made it a bit cringe and made it void of any joy. The only reason I keep watching is I'm hoping they bring the joy back.
after two episodes, the series feels very weak. The pace is slow and the acting bad.
Didn't play the games, seemed boring to me. We'll see how this show is going to be.
An interesting story as a Podcaster tries to unravel a 20 year old story.
Bodkin, the Town, has lot's of secrets and some very interesting surprises in store for the Podcast Team! :thumbsup_tone1: Well worth a watch, slow burn with most answer's coming in the last 3 episodes.
Here’s a one star for hiring racist, Zionists, idiot, genocide supporter, and excuse of a human being Michael Rapaport.
I'm glad I'm old and don't have too many year left.
horrible, complete garbage. barley able to watch first epsode.
Looks good, but that's it. I couldn't finish it. The most boring show I've come across in a while. It's such a drag and halfway through episode 3 I just turned it off and watched something good instead.
might be okay if you've played the games, but this was really boring.
watch silo instead(or wait for season 2 and then watch silo)
Okay okay okay!!!!
I got to the end of episode 2 and that’s it I’m out of here……
I don’t care for any of the characters and would be happy to see any of them come to a miserable and gruesome death, it would probably be as long, slow and painful as the show itself…..
On episode one I was 15 mins into it and I just wanted to switch it off, but I forced myself to get to the end.
Then I convinced myself to give episode two a go and just see if it was just a slow burner?
This show is slow, boring and badly acted by all involved.
The dialogue is almost in reverse and delivered in a monotone manner and the whole thing just sends the viewer into a coma………
Just when you think it's a parallel world revenge drama, it turns out to be a hilarious drama of soul searching through the past, 9 out of 10 for the first 15 episodes and 0 out of 10 for the last, I simply don't see the point of the middle 13 episodes existing, just watch the first and last episode straight away.
If the actors got above the minimum wage for this then they done well for themselves.
A beautifully shot and acted, piece of shit. I would rather die in the apocalypse than watch this again.
