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.
Started off well but went downhill like a rollercoaster. Gave it an hour and it made no sense at all. Done.
0/10
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!
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.
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.
The best show on TV right now!!!! Season 2 has to be in the works
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.
Lowered my rating as I was so bored on S2E1 I turned it off.
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.
Tries to be overly complicated. Which makes it a MEH.
entertaining for the first four episodes but fell off the cliff in the final two. the final episode is particularly poor.
Take my word this show is utter crap... Almost no time for Godzilla or any other monster and a story that seems to be written by a high school drop out... I love Kurt but even he can't save this junk show...
I had to watch it until the end, hoping it would improve. Sadly it didn't. :confused:
A good premise let down by awful character development and dialogue. This monster show revolves too much around family drama.
7 episodes in and I'm about to drop this. The story has become increasingly boring with a lot of sidetracking and bad dialogue. The 10 seconds of interesting sci-fi stuff is not saving this show. They're stretching it way too thin.
