Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad finale.
This is an entirely fictional telling that has nothing to do with the biblical Dinah beyond the borrowed names. Its characterizations of Jewish faith and idol worship have no similarities with the realities. Instead, it has transformed the Red Tent (the tent reserved for a woman’s monthly menstrual retreat from the camp) into a feminist sanctuary for a fabricated worship of female deities. So, divorced from any historical efficacy, here is my response to the series. It is beautifully shot, told and performed. Rebecca Ferguson, Minnie Driver and Morena Baccarin, all bring beauty, grace and grounded characters to life. Debra Winger was a delightful addition. The lush sets, soaring sound track, vibrant colours all give the story a wonderful depth. As a work of total fiction this is a magnificent work of art. Its richness lingers after the credits roll. I give this limited series a 9 (beautiful) out of 10. [Drama]
Other than the main theme of getting betrayed by the Hero's Party, everything else always goes in favour of the protagonist which ultimately killed all suspenseful moments of the anime.
But overall the show was quite enjoyable and the characters were entertaining so it was worth watching.
Canceling this show was an absolute travesty of any kind of sense or logic.
This was an interesting one for me. Something about it just rubbed me the wrong way. I love surrealism and social commentary, and this show lacks neither, believe me. The humor just rarely hit the mark for me, and the weirdness rarely feels natural, neither does the humor for that matter. It's not a very funny show. And yet I still found myself wrapped up in the ridiculously absurd world the writers have built, and even found myself quite invested in some of the characters. It was definitely unlike anything I've seen before though, and I haven't seen anything like it since. I wouldn't ever watch it again, but it was an odd show that had its own charm and a very unique identity even if it was crafted in an overly blatant hamfisted manner. If you like weird stuff, watch it. I can't say you'll love it, but I think you'll enjoy how over the top this show can be. If you aren't a fan of surrealism, you'll likely find yourself shutting this off within the first five minutes of the pilot.
Well unfortunately syfy has made it to my don't really care network. Ya hate to start anything Syfy puts out because for some reason they seem to pull the plug EVERY time the show starts getting good.. Shall we travel back to Farscape? killed it, Defiance,. yep pulled the plug. and does anybody remember Dark Matter? Not only pulled the plug but didn't even make an effort at ending it right.. And of all the dumb moves by SYFY... THE MAGICIANS had A LOT of life left in that show.. Syfy.. i don't trust you ..
I couldn't get into it after Season 4. I just stopped at EP 7 and called it quits. they tried to hard to keep going but it was just boring humour
The first four seasons were really funny, but after that the series became much weaker. The last season was a complete waste of time.
The more successful brother of Happy Endings that is half as good and twice as long.
why did they cancel this show? it was pretty good entertaining. now we won't see the whole plot from A to Z, only A to M :(
In this age of peak television, and peak Sci-Fi, with the standards being set by films like "Interstellar" and television like "The Expanse", it is truly remarkable that a project as unassuming as "The Ark" would even make it to the small screen. Yet it did and I stand here, slack-jawed, wondering how in gawd's name that happened! With The Ark, incompetence becomes an art form, art direction becomes misdirection, and the absurdity of special effects substitutes for the absence of wit in dialogue. Horrible, gut-wrenching human tragedy had me doubled over in laughter. Don't misunderstand. "The Ark" isn't" bad. It is monumentally, incomprehensibly, terrible.
Loved the series, but hated the ending. Felt way too rushed. Definitely worth checking out.
Time to kill this show. (They find
some great new way to use their technology - >they f*ck up massively, mostly by just being idiots - > some miracle happens thats saves them) formula was done for like 20 times by now, and it's getting seriously frustrating. I'm done with this show.
Why do people keep adding Season 2 there is no season 2.
The show started out strong. I was extremely interested at first. By the middle of second season I started losing interest as the episodes felt almost repetitive and soulless. Still finished it for the sake of completing it, but it’s not a show I’d rewatch again with interest, but might consider having it as a white noise in the background while sleeping.
It's a shame they never went anywhere with the characters. I really felt like they had a great set up, and I feel like they squandered it. I would have liked to see another season, but I suppose it is better to have it canceled than have another lackluster season. Overall, a great show. So much potential!
Whether you like this show or not, you must admit that it has one of the most memorable intros ever. A rap intro was perhaps more revolutionary in the 90s but it's still a work of genius: before every episode you get a story recap how Will ended up in Bel-Air in the first place.
I'm too young to understand many of the references and jokes. But sometimes it's like a fascinating time capsule bank to the 90s. I hate the fake laughter. The show is often a bit silly and shallow but now and then the show delves into more serious issues like parenting, race, puberty, coming of age, social injustice, capitalism and so forth. I don't even like Will best. I like Hillary, Phil and Carlton better to be honest. But all characters are likeable and it's a true feel good sitcom.
But that's perhaps not what the show was really known for. I guess it made a major impact during 90s TV. It's one of the first sitcoms and perhaps one of the first primetime shows with mostly black characters. And - as a surprise to many - they showed a regular all-American and financially privileged family.
Towards the end the show starts to limp and Will's one man show becomes increasingly annoying. I remember that I liked him a lot back in the 90s. My younger self was convinced he was the coolest guy ever. I think totally different know. He almost ruins the show.
Would I ever re-re-watch this show? Probably not...
PS: sadly this show was recorded on tape it seems, thus can't be remastered easily and looks horrible by today's standards
I think the quality lowered after they changed the actress that portrayed Aunt Viv. They said the original actress was being a bitch backstage and wanted the spotlight over Will, so the change was probably for the better, but that caused the show to decay.
Decided to give this show a watch for a nice dose of nostalgia. Unfortunately I was left feeling pretty disappointed. The first 3 seasons are what I remember from TGIF nights and they were a lot of fun. After that things start to go downhill. By the time the last season rolled around, the show was nothing but a shell of its original self. My 6/10 is probably a bit high but it gets extra credit for the good early seasons and that it was still some decent, light fun.
Salem is the best idc
That twist is so cringey I just had to stop with this show.
I couldn't get enough of the books but this first episode was incredibly off-putting. I was really disappointed. I will check out the second episode but I don't have high hopes.
There are a lot of TV series that get cancelled and while I might get upset, I always understand why. Not this time though.
Every new season of Colony kept getting better and better; they took time to develop every character (except Bram, fuck Bram); acting was mostly good; even though it was centered around a family, they managed not to turn it into a family melodrama; avoided most of the clichés of the genre and created something good. Still it got cancelled. Not even a two part mini series to properly end things. Nothing.
I like this show. I think it's pretty awesome that Steven Spielberg and Stephen King managed to pull off a second season. For everyone bitching about season 2, this was originaly a mini series. Not planned, written or prepared passed season 1. They were shocked it was renewed. I love this show and it had to eventually go somewhere. Although I do not like the killing Angie off... shoulda been big jim.
This is also listed as a movie here:

Trakt needs to find a way to resolve dual listings from TMDb & TVDb!
They are both linked to IMDb ID tt0452573
This is the more accurate listing as it was a TV miniseries!
I only remember the first few seasons from years ago when it aired on TV so I decided to do a rewatch/catch up beng watch.. and man do I regret it.
The last 2 seasons, it's like the writers gave up on the story, Sabrina barely uses her magic & don't even get me started on Harvey.. I wish I didn't do it, because now one of my favorite childhood shows was officially ruined.
Other than having to mute the god-awful theme song, I'm loving this series.
Usually I like Ricky and his style of humor. I love "Extras" but I really struggled through this one. I only finished it because there are only 6 hours in total without the Christmas Special.
It had its moments but in an attempt to make this look like they are doing kind of a documentary on the office staff it feels stiff and studied. Characters are one-dimensional and there is almost no developement. Personally I can`t figure out why this is so highly praised.
Remember that edgy thing called "Elfen Lied"? Yup, this is by the same author and while I'm fuzzy on the details on that it certainly is similar in the way of inflicting violence to teenage girls. It is also probably the only 1-cour show that changed openings on the second last episode and then even to a terrible crunkcore-thingy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C__joUsxAPw).
Despite rating it just a "4" I want to stress that I got plenty of enjoyment out of it... just for all the wrong reasons - or maybe not! Going by the anime alone one has to either believe this is a work by hacks (which it kinda is) or well versed people intentionally taking the piss out of genre conventions.
Anyways, you should not watch this show if you expect any kind of logic or common sense. The story is ridiculous and badly paced. It also follows the same pattern up until the end where they just throw in an ending because they can. What made the show for me was it's schizophrenic tone, switching between comedy bits set to goofy music with some romance to heavily censored action - with a straight face. Really, it's amazing how much bullshit they managed to stuff in there. If you want to watch something so bad that it's good give it a go.
is pretty bad for a new tv series
