I love this show, sadly and criminally there was only one series.
Fantastic and hilarious. Not QUITE as funny as the original, which was my second favorite sitcom ever, without Niles and Martin, but still very funny. Don’t care one bit about laugh track, just makes me feel more like watching the original. Really don’t understand some people.
After reading the comments, was surprised to not see anyone speak up who had read the book. Clarke is one of just about 10 masters in science fiction literature, and this mini-series captured his tone and thoughtfulness pretty well I thought. It was a respectful adaptation from book to screenplay, which I appreciate hugely because it is risky in this day and age to do something for the art of it rather than just profit.
It's not a show for the mass-mobs of mouth breathing corn syrup drinkers. It confronts our deepest dilemmas, and comes up with some terrifying and heart breaking conclusions. If you've got an introspective side, coupled with some moral courage, then this mini-series will reward you.
The adventures of my favorite fictional Angus was a staple of the 80s and early 90s. Holds up exceptionally well. Can't speak for the remake as I've never seen an episode of it
the theme music was lit too
It's a great series but has anyone else noticed that a lot of the footage of the Original Star Wars films (I am not talking the behind the scenes footage) appears not the remastered Lucas endorsed editions but actual original old footage, some shots look real sharp like they arent taken from archive footage freely available. What source did the Kasdan tap into? Any other documentaries or behind the scenes, especially made by Disney or Lucasfilm, you'll find that the movie footage they use is the Lucas approved special editions even if they are talking about the original making of, with the history being washed over, so this is actually a big deal that Kasdan managed to showcase the original OT footage so freely here.
The lady who plays the third sister, is an awful actress. Disney needs to stop catering to kids when it comes to marvel and star wars, too many scenes/stories are so childish.
I gave this a chance, so you don't have to.
Follows the now-usual Disney pattern of employing third-rate talent for directing and writing. Not even Ewan McGregor can elevate this to being watchable - he gets nothing to work with. Don't bother with this.
Am I drunk or something? First episode is god awful. Like whole episode looks like something from random fan-fiction made into YT series. Awful green screen, thrash-tier acting (especially from third-sister, jeez), boring story. I feel like i am watching some parody of what Kenobi supposed to be. I really liked Mandalorian, i was disappointed with Book of Boba and this is... really something i guess...
Seems nobody recalls https://trakt.tv/shows/the-equalizer
All talking just about the Denzel movies.
But it's true, Queen Latifah, as much as I like her, doesn't fit.
shame this didn't last any longer i loved it! bought the bluray a while back too
Terribly boring. Doubt I’ll continue past episode 2. Just uninteresting and not funny.
update: watched the entire series.
still uninteresting, still not funny, the only thing worse than this in the MCU is Captain Marvel
I don't care what other people say or think about this show. But for me this was amazing i really loved the story and the weirdness. I watched everything in one day because i could not get enough of it. Loved every minute of it.
The first season of GITS SAC 2045 is so uneven and poorly written, that you can skip the first 5 episodes without losing a single plot point. The whole story could be summarized in 60 seconds of dialogue. The remainder six episodes are uneven, but enjoyable, except the last one. Now, the CGI is VERY distracting and subpar, with only a few highlights here and there. The producers made a poor choice leaving behind their wonderful ARISE hand-drawn animation style just to settle with a PS2-era garden-variety CGI fare. The music is intrusive and bombastic in many episodes, but there are a few good pieces in the last episodes. As the next season will keep the same look and plot, it's a shame this opportunity for a true GITS series is lost.
This is what Star Wars is all about. Heroes against impossible odds fighting lost battles, willing to give it all for a true cause and honor. The characters (all of them) in this episode are treated with respect, and the excellent writting and acting makes you worry for them, care for them, feel every loss as if it were yours, and cheer every little win as an epic triumph. You mourn with this characters, you laugh with them. This series keeps the right balance between tragedy, drama and comedy. It feels timeless, and makes you wish to revisit it like when you hang out with a good friend you've not seen in a while. It's a proper ending for the season, and gosh, this is how Disney should handle their entire Star Wars franchise. It's gonna be a long year until the next season, I'm sure of it. This... is the way.
Loving this 70s period-scifi piece so far. Nice space missions, human drama, very 70s. Everyone smokes all the time, everyone drinks all the time. My kind of fun.
I gave up on this dumpster fire of a show after watching the 4th episode's promo. When your promo clearly shows all the plot and ending in 45 seconds, why waste 45 minutes?. Hope it gets cancelled by next year.
Dallas was a phenomenon at the time that can't be repeated or transformed in our time. The Mother-Soap. Once in a lifetime you should have watched it but skip the infamous Season 9 (if you don't know why you are either very young or completely unaware in the 80s ;-) ). I admit the quality of the show drops to the end but in general it's still a good show.
This might be my favorite second series episode, mainly for JLM's monologue at the meeting. It made me literally rewind and watch it again and again. The careful mannerisms, the craft delivering the lines. This might be the only scene in Elementary where we can grasp Sherlock as a human being, tangible, vulnerable and honest. And of course, his exposition was kept short, to just give us a glimpse, making us ask for more. I truly enjoy this show, but this episode's opening was so well conceived, that I still watch in once in a while.
One of my favorite shows. It was engaging, and it made me care so much about the characters and their evolution as people, not just characters written in a script. Wonderfully cast.
What can I say?. It's a Madagascar spin-off, and it works in both humor and fun. It has better graphics than The Penguins Of Madagascar, and the scenes have more texture detail. Then again, I'm here for the move it, move it and not the CGI. My only complain is that it's only 5 episodes, but it's a nice Netflix Christmas gift for the little ones at home.
While I'm glad that Aaron Ashmore was able to land a role so soon after Warehouse 13, this series feels too self-contained and yet overtly complicated. I don't see it moving past the first season.
It was so disappointing that this series got cancelled, without the chance of getting its foothold, huge continuity problems because the episodes got aired out of order. But I was willing to give it a try. Too bad the network wasn't.
This is one of my favorite comedies, for 3 reasons: it's so damn close to reality of American politics, the characters are down to earth and it's so well written. I'm so looking forward for next season.
After binge-watching the whole 10 episodes, I think that Dig had the promise to become more than an event series. Jason Isaacs is one one the best British actors today and I truly respect his craft. It's so sad for me that his television series (as a main character) don't get a second season since Brotherhood. Shooting in Jerusalem was a bold move that added texture and a gritty look that was lost when production was moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The whole show had to be adapted and re-written, and many scenes re-shot or dropped. Keeping in mind that this series was originally planned as a 6 episode drama (the extra 4 episodes were added when the network was so pleased with the rushes shot on location), I like the overall direction of the plot, despite the huge number of characters that were introduced and cast aside, leaving many holes story-wise, even when I know some of them actually came with the added material (the original ending was very different in the 6 hours version). Dig happens to be a good show about fanaticism, intolerance and grief, that suffered from production changes, but enjoyable after all.
It's a pleasure to have Sir Stewart having a ball on this show, that really takes aim at his comedic skills. I must say it's a very British kind of show (in pace, humour and delivery), so I'm not entirely sure if it'll please the American Kardashian-loving kind of people in the 18-35 age group that seems to be the only audience that Starz is looking for (they cancelled Magic City, that was a great show just because it was weak at that demography, and renewed Power barely). This show has dark humour, hidden golden eggs, wits and great acting moments, and I truly hope it gets more than the two seasons already ordered.
I'm sad that NBC has already cancelled this series and now they'll just burn the last 4 episodes. Therefore, the plot of the missing wife, the FBI agent that tries to "uncover" the activites of The House (that just received the alterative name of "Occam"), the Pit Boss past and the rest of interesting bits that made this series so enjoyable, won't be concluded. Therefore, I'm not wasting my time with those 4 episodes anymore. Ironically, they've already sold this show to 105 countries... and most of them will premiere it next year.
Wallander is one of the best series I've ever seen. Beautiful photography, masterfully directed and a flawless cast make this series a must for anyone serious about quality drama. It takes a lot of patience, because Wallander is shot between Kenneth Branagh's filming schedule (and he's quite busy as a director), so it's 3 episodes every two years... but it's worth it. Now, I'm waiting for the 4th season and enjoying it all over again.
The Glades is one of those easy-going shows that grows on you. It was cancelled not by low ratings or lack of fans, but because A&E wanted to own their IP's and keep their costs low with reality shows like Duck Dinasty and Storage Wars. I mean, this is a procedural show with excellent reviews, and the most-watched and highest-rated original drama series at A&E. Sadly, Netflix wasn't into buying-producing original series back in 2013 as much as they are (Longmire had less audience than The Glades when it was also cancelled by A&E and renewed by Netflix). Matt Passmore was at his very best in the last season, full of charm and totally owning his character, and it was funny to watch how the Gateway, Microsoft, Kia and Dodge Charger infomercials used to blend-in into the plot. I've missed this show, and I do have a solid theory about who was the shooter, among the ton of enemies Jim made along four seasons (spoiler: it was Ray's Mom). I haven't seen A&E in a while since The Glades and Longmire were axed... has anyone?.
Hands down, the best performance I've ever seen from Jean Claude Van Damme. His comedic chops are amazing, and I wouldn't mind at all if Amazon decides to pickup this pilot as a full blown series.
This series borrows a lot of elements (both visual and plot-wise) from Metropolis (1927). Chinatown (1974), The Hustle (1975), Alien (1979), Outland (1981), Blade Runner (1982), Total Recall (1992) and Firefly (2002), so there's not much "new" stuff to ponder about. The plot is hard to follow (and the patois seriously needs proper subtitles) for anyone not versed on the novels. It's an excellent series, but hardly original.
