Very disappointed so far. Seems like they just threw a bunch of ideas at the wall hoping something stuck. Four episodes in and didn't care to finish
It's okay but there are so many mistakes in the storyline, so much stuff that does not make sense at all that it sometimes hurts to watch. The cinematography is on a really high level - indeed. However, the inconsequence this storyline was written with is disturbing and makes this whole thing a bit of a painful experience. I quite skipped trough it to at least get an overview where this is going.
Maybe they should have done a deep dive how cultures would really develop under these given circumstances. I find it hard to believe that all those people do not know absolutely anything just because there was a virus. And given the fact, that there is no further explanation I bet Apple itself does not have an explanation how this scenario makes any sense.
The only reason I can see why people would give this series a good rating is because of the cinematography, the cast and because it was done by Apple. Because besides those superficial reasons, there is nothing really that justifies a good rating.
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.
The story and art style definitely seem cool and interesting, but the long, dull, uninspired battle scenes drag on too much, and the sound effects just don’t make sense. Swords whooshing sound like transformers, and it’s all so exagerated, it’s off-putting. Don’t waste your time, this show isn’t worth it.
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.
i just don't get why people are loving this. acting is over the top, script is predictable. oh yes lets put a 56kg woman to work the machinery, while mr f**king ripped boss is just watching. 81%? imdb 8.4?
This show is absolutely terrible. 4 episodes out of 6, still cant recommend.
I missed an action TV show like this since banshee
Mindbogglingly boring.
I am a huge scifi fan, I love almost everything in the scifi and fantasy genre. So of course I was looking forward to this, two parallel worlds where the protagonists meet and interact, how cool is that premise?
Turns out it wasn't, isn't nor will be cool or even interesting. It was dull, forseeable and an utter piece of crap.
Do yourself a favor and just skip this one.
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..
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
what a stupid show. Hollywood/Disney outdid themselves on showing their stupidity on this one . waste of file time and money.
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.
what a waste of my bloody time.
This show is boring and pointless and violent.
This is great news for us Justified fans. Can't wait, hope it's as good as the original show.
Started strong but in Ep 5 Im already checked out. The plot just fell apart and I couldn't care less about any of the characters including the Sheriff chick. Silo had a great concept but they don't have the script to support it and it's following an unfortunate trend of contemporary tv series where they launch with high hopes and dissolve into oblivion 5/10
Whackiest take of a Shades of Grey esque series with terrible dialogues, stereotypes and plot.
Unfortunately I had to sit through this due to my gf. Thanks for that partner.
I'm pre-emptively giving this a meh cause I'm sure this show is not gonna surprise me. Halfway through we have one filler episode and one of the most uninteresting reveals possible and cliches so expected and boring that I feel I know exactly how this will end
I dunno why I expect anything interesting from these shows. I keep hoping that we'd get Legion again cause Disney owns Fox and Legion was an X-Men property. I don't mean we'd get a reboot or whatever of Legion, just that they'd take the interesting ideas from Legion and make something interesting and zany and truly whacky and avante-garde. Instead, WandaVision was uninteresting and terrible and this takes a genuinely interesting character and flanderizes the shit out of him
I should probably give up on the MCU shows and just watch the movies. At least they're short
Edit: watched the last episode. Yeah I'm not changing my rating. The pacing was awful. The finale was messy and the cliffhanger ending was unearned. The fights were heavily edited poorly choreographed chaos
The show has so much potential but it's wasted by poor story telling. This would've worked better as a 2hr movie or 6 episode show. Unfortunately, you'll have to sit through 10 hours of torture as the characters constantly talk about their feelings while boring you to death. You'll literally feel ever minute of the 10 hours tick by. And oh yea there's a random gay couple that makes no sense to the story but you know it's 2020 so you need the token in the show.
I would say if you have 10 hours to kill, nothing better to do, and want to listen to characters constantly talk about their feelings, this is the show for you. If you don't like all that stuff or don't want to waste 10 hours, I would skip this show.
I wish I had watched this show in 2x or 2.5x speed...I think I would've liked it better.
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.
Started off well but went downhill like a rollercoaster. Gave it an hour and it made no sense at all. Done.
0/10
Lowered my rating as I was so bored on S2E1 I turned it off.
after two episodes, the series feels very weak. The pace is slow and the acting bad.
I was close to stop watching the show after the first three episodes. Everyone seemed to be a self-absorbed rich asshole, the show itself seemed to be going nowhere. But I'm so glad I didn't stop watching. Episode five was the first one where I thought "Oh, maybe it isn't so bad after all." It only improved afterwards. With all the schemes, backstabbing, and generally horrible people it's basically Game of Thrones set in 2018 New York. Succession is probably the best show on TV at the moment. I can't wait for season two.
Should've been called "First World Problems". A story of a man with loving wife and a well paid job complaining about everything.
Offensive, Vile, Paranoid, Violent, Perverse, Dehumanising, Base. For some reading these adjectives, this will be a positive review, "Gotta see this, just love lurking around in the dark!" For me this is an indictment against a growing trend in art to elevate the vile and stigmatize hope or goodness. This message is all the more dangerous when marked by good performances, a powerful production, and digested by an immature audience (and I don't just mean chronologically). Good and evil have been a part of the world's framework since the beginning, but, folks, when our creative communities slander and misrepresent good as evil and frame life as inevitable moral failure, they precondition our culture to see a future without hope or choice. I won't support this project and rank it as a 3 (vile) out of 10. [Super Hero Noir]
I’ve been patient, I’ve watched 6 episodes but each and everyone is more boring than the previous. It’s a shame…. The idea is good but the writing has let it down terribly. 3 /10 at a push.
Enjoyed the first episode very much. The show to me is blend of Dallas and Bonanza.
Operated and so far fetched,as if shit like this would happen in London,do the makers not know how rare gun violence is on the streets of the UK,there's no gangs running about with as many automatic rifles and grenades as this show,maybe in Columbia and mexico,this is EastEnders trying to be narcos!
