One of THE best productions of 2023.
Watching this… I think I get it now…
I watched every episode of the 2023 version on Netflix one after the other.
This is THE most heartwarming, heartbreaking, kickass, corny, beautifully crafted piece of cinematic storytellingI have watched in a very very long time. Through much of this, I had tears of laughter, joy, sadness, surprise and heartbreak.
Do not start this series until you have a full block of time to sit uninterrupted and enjoy every single minute of this. It’s much much more than a live version of what I thought was a corny anime about bashing and fighting. This story does that in a way that makes you fall in love with the heroes and the villains.
All with a straw hat…
Ugh.
Ok so I like the premise and the story 8/10.
However the actors are BAD, the camera work sucks, the writing and character interaction feels forced and blocky.
Absolutely sucks, and I’m forcing myself to watch it just because I started it.
For the minuscule budget for this film, feels like they all bought weed with the budget, say around smoking it, grabbed a budget handy-cam and took turns reading off a script in a back ally somewhere with cardboard and floodlights then whipped up a bit of computer generated “ship” stuff and called it a day.
This concept needs to be remade with a 50-100 million budget, good actors, good directors, etc.
Meh.
Interesting semi enjoyable movie - made worse by the obvious political undertones and off handed comments that are essentially obligitory and to be expected in pretty much anything created today. The cracks about politicans that the authors dislike and want to smear in public opinion are distasteful and ruin the enjoyment of what's supposed to be entertainment.
I have really fond memories of this series.
Can't seem to find it anywhere to watch for love or money.
This show is heavily Canadian, there are elements that unless you have lived and experienced pieces of our culture, many people simply wouldn't get.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it was pulled from air and burried into the memory hole of history because of the cultural uniqueness shown in this show. Jokes that bond us together as a nation are a threat to those who seek to divide.
In summary there's a reason this show isn't available to watch anywhere. It was too uniquely Canadian, and expressions of culture that are not approved for general consumption are forbidden.
Basically - You are not permitted to watch this show. If you didn't experience it live, good luck watching it - you are not allowed.
“Global warming” death murder revenge fetish by the writers.
A low point for “The Simpsons”, they couldn’t even use the likeness of their beloved characters.
A Very Weak Episode, just dumb.
The use of “right wing nationalist”, as the evil bad guy in the show. Is an obvious wink and nod to the ideologies and beliefs driving the writing, directing, and acting that’s permeating the entertainment industry.
The show is virtually thick with it.
Apart from that, it may actually be enjoyable to watch. But, I suspect the show - will inevitably be a flop when it’s looked back in on history after it’s run it’s course and the funding runs out.
Once again; the yahoo writers and directors are taking potshots at social issues & mischaracterizing half the country.
Very Very Love able Characters and Cast. Good introduction.
It's a superhero show, with characters we can actually relate to.
I would Highly recommend it & as more people watch, it's going to become a hit.
Ok,
If it wasn't for a top billed cast such as "Brad Pitt" et. al. It would be considered a C level film. The kind you give away with a box of cereal. I was not impressed. If it wasn't for him being in this film, it wouldn't even be worth watching.
There was some amazing shots of space ships, and a couple cool stunts - But that's about all that's even remotely notable in this film.
Ah, YES! We're finally getting some more details about the backstory of these "aliens" showing scenes of the mothers. Very Dramatic, and heartfelt. The whole show is basically a Romantic SciFi. - Love how they are focusing a bit more on the technology and cool science side of this. Lets see how it plays out in this season.
In anticipation of season 3 doping on the third - I decided to watch the first and 2nd seasons.
So far. - I am unsure If I love it or hate it. - It's definitely "cringe worthy at points..." - I'm going to keep watching, and see how it goes...
Tucker Carlson Jokes. - ok.
This whole episode, while funny - I totally laughed.
Just goes to show, how much certain networks absolutely hate fox.
Anyways, try to enjoy the episode.
All Right! Now this is starting to feel like I'm watching a Star Trek.
Little bit of action finally starts happening.
The previous 4 episodes were basically all back story and setup. Now things are finally starting to happen.
Love the kick ass Number 5, she always makes the show much better.
If the show can keep up this momentum its going to have a good run.
I just started watching this show. So far the story while interesting and predictable. Falls a bit flat, I’m watch it simply out of boredom.
Let’s face it tho, if it wasn’t for a great cast and good looking individuals. There would be less people watching.
Similarly thoughts when I watched it. The whole series just falls flat on its face.
I watched the first couple episodes. I'm surprisingly actually enjoying it. I have to watch it with English subs unfortunately for me I don't understand Norwegian. So that personally takes away from the enjoyment of the show having to read everything. But I am trying to not let that be a factor in influencing if I like the show or not. I was expecting the show on first glance to be English, and was a bit disappointed it wasn't. However, I do think it has interesting potential as a series. As a story line its intriguing. In other words. I'm trying to give it a chance. I wonder if there is a dubbed version around.
On a side note, the location it was filmed was absolutely stunning and beautiful.
The whole climate spin on things turns me off, comes off a a bit preachy. But that's a personal reaction to it, trying not to let it affect my enjoyment of the series.
Ok, so I've been waiting for this show since I heard about it.
Well worth the wait!
The episodes are way shorter than I was hoping for, lets hope for multiple seasons for years to come.
The first episode was barely a taste of what's to come.
I actually like the fact that its not all out at once to binge watch. This lets me watch each episode as it comes out and savor it until the next one.
All in all, this series is shaping up into being quality entertainment that I suspect is going to bring me hours of enjoyment.
It reminds me of 'firefly' and that gritty space cowboy feel to it, set in the star wars universe.
Good job Disney - Its a huge job to live up to the "Star Wars" name, to produce a show that's worthy of carrying on the name, is a tall order. If what I have seen so far, quality acting, amazing story, attention to details, holds true for the rest of the run of this series. Its going to be a hit - and a well deserved one.
The creative team and workers deserve a round of applause for a job well done. - Keep up the good work Disney.
