Good storyline but a good story and good acting can't make up for terrible writing.
The characters are plastic and unbelievable. The story unfolds in a Helter skelter fashion. The action scenes are completely unbelievable.
I don't know what it is exactly about this show, but it's just not compelling TV. I loved the comics (it's one of the best comic series ever), but whatever magic was there didn't translate to the screen despite the series sticking pretty close to the tone of the original material.
I watched 4 episodes and I'm just... bored. Agent 355 is interesting, but only marginally so. Yorick, while charming in the comics, is like a Shia Labeouf imitator who goes "No no no no no!" every three sentences. And so far, it's mostly just people walking from point A to point B through the woman-only post-apocalyptic landscape.
I'm chalking this one up to another proof that creating a faithful adaptation doesn't always mean you capture the magic of the source material. Read the comics instead!
this movie was worse than the first one
boring and too predictable. I felt like a time traveler watching this. I could predict what was gonna happen at every scene.
I gave the first season an 8/10 for some reason... I must have enjoyed it.
Season 2 is deplorable - I thought I'd written it because I knew exactly what was happening before it actually happened!!
I watched the first 2 episodes and that was painful enough - no more!!
I can only surmise the writing/directing went off the rails between season 1 and 2, or I was drunk throughout season 1.
I'm re-adjusting my number to 1/10
So every male character is weak, stupid or irresponsible and 90% of the black characters are gay? Oh yeah this is a great show. Fuck off with this shit!!!
Could only do 3 episodes it's pure garbage
This show has probably one of the worst main characters I've ever seen. The supporting cast is not much better (except Starlight but even she was kind of soured). The most interesting character to me was Black Noir and he didn't say a word during the 1st season.
The pacing and lack of world building are atrocious to a series that is only in its 1st season. It hurts me to see that after 8 hours I gained nothing from watching this.
The ending is very unsatisfying.
Innovative/Different doesn't mean good.
Nothing made sense, the characters were all boring, the dialogue sounded like it was written by an eighth grader, there's no real sense of danger or importance to any actions, the kindest way to describe the plot is that it was a poorly constructed rip-off of Star Wars: A New Hope, and there were way too many macguffins. The special effects looked neat but that doesn't make a good story. And the romance? There was more chemistry between Hester and the cyborg than her alleged love interest. Just... just awful.
This movie moved at the speed of maple syrup on the coldest day of the year.... I fell asleep numerous times throughout the movie and still kept up with the story. The best part wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
A big disappointment. Flat and stereotype story. Only seen the first episode though so maybe it changes...
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.
I'm done with this show. Great acting, great premise, and great setting but it unfolds like an onion too much seeking to ape Dark, yet it gives no underlying cause either in titillation or suggestion so that the characters can emerge properly as having empathy for us or worthy as engaging with emotionally. It amounts to family squabbles with a mystery/time as the threat. Time always eats away at us so this is not all that profound.
Short: You can't have two seasons with some metaphysical asshole in the ground as an antagonist/deus ex machina. I was hoping for some NA metaphysics but all I got me was a cats chasing in and out of a basket.
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.
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.
Didn't play the games, seemed boring to me. We'll see how this show is going to be.
Unfortunately I’m not a computer gamer, and thought I’d try this anyway. Turns out after just one episode I can see why I’m not a fan of. Absolute garbage.
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.
The character of Elsbeth is fantastic but the legal maneuvering in the Good Wife was much more interesting and well written than this Monk wanna be. Carrie Preston is great but the show needs more sophisticated writers. I wish they would go back to the legal intrigue because the suspension of disbelief that Elsbeth would be the detective is too much. I hope it gets better because this character is wonderful.
I liked her character a lot in The Good Wife, but having a whole show with her is just too much. I found the episodes got very annoying quickly, so I gave up after 3 shows.
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.
Absolutely nothing to do with Two-Tone whatsoever, apart from a couple of soundtrack plays, no mention of Two Tone, Specials, or Ska! The soldier brother is the best character, and the IRA connection is the main interest, while the main character is unrealistic, uninteresting and doesn't grab your attention. The music is bad, the band is frankly ridiculous. The cartoon character of the dodgy club owner is unbelievably bad. Like the equally terrible "This is England", another show written by someone who has no idea of the youth movements and music of the time, but somehow think they do. Probably because they were a wannabe on the periphery and wished they could be one of the "In Crowd" but were rejected... If you were a Mod or Skin, and think it might be worth a watch, forget it!
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)
This ain't The Last of Us. If you haven't played the game, keep out. It is awfully boring and pointless.
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!
