A great who-dunnit crime-drama! From the first episode until the very end of season 1 I was intrigued by the murder case of an ordinary young girl. Who killed Nanna Birk Larssen? It twists and turns at every episode, everyone is a suspect and paranoia is everywhere.
But the best thing about this show is that it shows the social impact of a murder on ordinary people. Are the parents sad, angry or in an emotional void, can cops leave their work behind when they get home, can (wrongfully accused) suspects continue their normal lives, how many lives get ruined because of one murder?
This is probably the most 'real' crime-solving show I have ever seen. Sure, it has its flaws and the ending is not as spectacular as I would have wanted it, but at the end of each and every one of the 20 episodes I have been wanting more and more and more. Finally something non-American that is great to watch!
Amazing show! Some of the most beautiful images and stories of people living in wild nature that I've ever seen. From the deserts to the iceworlds to the jungles, it is unbelievable (literally unbelievable!) to see how these people go about their daily lives.
After seeing this show it makes you wonder; are our luxury lives really better than their poor, dangerous lives? If we can believe the behind-the-scenes interview with the cameramen the answer would be no: these people might live in the face of danger and die sooner, but they live their lives much fuller than our routine 9 to 5 city lives. Perhaps the best of both world would be nicest, but how to realize that? Food for thought!
Good show if you're looking for mindless entertainment! Even though the characters are flat, the story is almost non-existing, and the jokes are virtually the same in every episode, this show makes me smile a lot. They chose a good starting point with Charlie, his brother and son living in the same house but with totally different lives, so strange situations are bound to happen, making it easy to make funny jokes about it. After a while it gets old, but it still leaves me with a good feeling most of the time. Too bad the lead actor messed up and got fired, I can't imagine the show still being funny with him replaced..
All in all: simple but effective entertainment.
Awesome! The same greatness as Planet Earth (with beautiful pictures of nature and David Attenborough telling interesting things about it) but even prettier and more informative than Planet Earth. This is my new favourite!
I finished watching it and did enjoy this as a decent sci-fi show, but not nearly as much as Battlestar Galactica. I guess it was a mistake to label it as the next Battlestar Galactica, because it's an entirely different kind of show and people will always compare the two and Caprica will always lose.
There were some nice concepts: V-World, Mono-theism and the mobster Adama's were all great. There were just two problems: the story moved too slow and they tried too hard linking it to Battlestar Galactica.
Lost. A pretty accurate description of the writers after the first three seasons.. Season 1 was a great buildup, mysterious stuff happening all over. Season 2 gave some much needed answers, was awesome, and introduced some new mysteries. Season 3 tied up most loose ends, but introduced some unnecessary new questions. After that, well, they got really Lost.
It took them three more seasons to introduce uncountable plotholes, deus ex machinas all over the place, ruined all my favorite characters and still managed to not give any satisfactory answers.
Started out great, but the last time I was this disappointed by a tvshow was when Firefly was cancelled.
Amazing! Everyone should see this! And I'm not just saying that because I'm an environmental hippie that likes to learn a bit more about nature, or because David Attenborough is a personal hero of mine, but the images are just so incredibly gorgeous!
If you are a bit of a nerd (and you are if you have a mediacenter running trakt!), you'll probably like this a lot! Since nerd-ism is getting more popular and mainstream, most people will get the jokes, so even mom's, dad's and girlfriends might laugh at this.
If, however, you don't know who Spock and Darth Vader are, aren't at all interested in science and technology and never have socially uncomfortable situations (e.g. with girls), you'll probably miss out on most of the jokes.
One of the few shows that actually make me laugh out loud :)
I can't very well explain how I feel about this show. When I started watching it, I loved the premise of the show: the planet is destroyed and all that's left of our race is 1 spaceship and 50.000 people. I didn't like the characters very much (I even disliked the way some actors played their role) and didn't think much of the special effects.
But in some way, this show has gripped me like very few shows have before. The combination of the premise, the unfolding story, the incredible dilemmas the survivors must face, the focus on politics/religion/science/social development rather than action and battles, even the musical score was perfect to drag me further into the show. I even started to care for the characters.
After watching all seasons I'm left a little unsatisfied with the ending (as I always am with any show), but the way this show could transport me into another world, might make this one of the very few shows I could watch a second time.
