@felixgotrek whats the problem with it, it hasn't even been released yet.
Note to hollyweird - THIS is how you do a show with NO virtue signaling, NO SJW-Preaching, & NO agenda prompting. Just a great show with a great cast and awesome storytelling for entertainment value, period! If only all of hollyweird could/would GET this simple concept.
Tyler Sheridan just keeps bringing in the hits. His Urban-Western storytelling is on fire right now.

@archangell This show has as much virtue signaling, preaching and agenda prompting as any other show.
It's just more in line with your personal beliefs. That's why it doesn't bother you.
Unwanted garbage agendas. Worst than the first one, director knows nothing about the castlevania world. An insult to the fans.

@drjoestars imagine saying that having gay characters and taking the stance that slavery is bad is blm and lgbtq garbage, couldn't be me
EDIT: wow, edited your comment to take out the specifically offensive part, hilarious
Doesn't respect the history, and i believe that the american audience will think everything in the show did really happen, i doubt this show will succeed in Europe because it ends up insulting the people.

It doesn't run on the history channel, it runs on The CW -- home of magical, mythical, made up shows. It's more insulting that you would think we are so idiotic that we wouldn't be able to tell that it's SCRIPTED.
As someone who hasn't read the book(s) I get the feeling, that there is information missing.
There are reactions in certain scenes where I don't understand what gets the characters so excited. They act like its obvious, while it isn't for the unknowing viewer.
I have the suspicion, that there is a section in the book explaining the reaction which wasn't translated in the show sometimes.I don't know if its true, but are the daemons all female? If so, I hope it gets explained why that is (unless I missed it).
Aside from that, great cast, great storytelling and great characters so far - Although I somehow love Marisa best so far, cunning and evil - my kind of woman :)

@player8472 As someone who did read the books, I also feel like there's something missing. I often tell myself that someone who hasn't read them would not really understand parts of the show (like why are deamons so important). Also, deamons are not all female. Lyra's deamon for instance is a male.
The Mandalorian started out OK, but ended up as some half-baked, lazily written show that exist merely to lure parents to justify a Disney+ subscription. Kids get the usual Disney contents, moms get Baby Yoda, dads get Star Wars nerdy reference. The show almost feels like being made by a bunch of fanfiction writers with familiarity of the setting but zero sense of screen writing.
Nothing wrong with liking it, it's just the show appears to be all style and no substance.
Storyline shows no complexity at all. In fact, most of them are fillers. You can skip 4 of 8 episodes and you'll still understand the story just fine. Characters are completely uninteresting. None of them are developed. None of them had nuances: protagonists are morally good heroes; antagonists are one dimensional evils. The show relies only on a cute muppet and flashy action, but has zero substance. Had a potential great world-building with some details, but they chose to abandon it for rule of cool (and cute).
The "it's Star Wars, so it'll be simple" excuse commonly said by the series' defenders doesn't hold up if you actually consider other Star Wars titles such as Knights of the Old Republic, Republic Commando, Jedi Academy, Thrawn trilogy, the original and Tartakovsky's Clone Wars, and so on. Those titles are known for having remarkable storytelling; something that The Mandalorian doesn't have for its poverty of creative vision.

@xaliber your review holds true even now when the 2nd season has ended, really sad that they don't want to bother with complex worlds anymore...
Unwanted garbage agendas. Worst than the first one, director knows nothing about the castlevania world. An insult to the fans.

@drjoestars Agenda means Black people right? Just be clear what you mean.
Good old PSX days. It's probably going to suck though.

Lol. Yup. Def had some good memories playing the game.
If there are still people complaining about the second season not being here and the first one only having 13 episodes: The original Spanish series currently (June 2018) has 15 episodes (part 1: 9 episodes, part 2: 6 episodes), each episode being 70 minutes long! That‘s what you‘re seeing here. Netflix made 40-55 minute episodes out of them, resulting in 13 episodes for the first part and 9 episodes for the second part, so that’s 22 episodes overall. A little confusing, but everything is right in Trakt.tv. There are 15 episodes in the spanisch release and 22 episodes in the Netflix release. And it‘s two parts in Netflix, not two seasons (yet).
The first 9 episodes aired in spain are the first 13 episodes in Netflix and the last 6 episodes aired in spain as a second part, are also the second part in Netflix, but with 9 episodes. It’s that simple ;)
And for those of you being like „Fix it!“ ... Trakt.TV pulls data from other databases (TMDB, TVDB), so that‘s where data comes from. Those databases are community driven, so if there actually would be an error, you could fix it yourself. But there isn‘t, so everything‘s fine! :)

@fabiomotach No you can't because TVDB decided to use original sorting and you can't change it. Trakt should either made two version of the show or let you use alternate order.
I don't understand why everyone likes this show so much, it was really bad I just wanted each episode to end. Their was no suspense at all yet rotten tomatoes gave it a 95% really, it was trash just garbage the acting the fight all lame. So can some one explain to me why everyone likes it so much?

@alexsrt10 I've watched the first episode right now and my eyes were bleeding!

I don't agree- it's a show after all( Genre: DRAMA, not Historical).
Who cares what some people might think. Some people think Santa really exists.
The show is insulting? O.o Pardon! You see insulting things everywhere on the net/ in the real world. A show can be insulting, IF it CLAIMS to be historical. This one doesn't, however. That's why Entertainment is entertaining and history/documentaries informative. Period.

@xaliber I'm glad I'm not the only one, I agree with everything you wrote here. I was so bored by this showed that I didn't even bother to continue watching it.

@xaliber But... Star Wars is a VERY basic opera. The entire franchise is just one dimensional characters lining up either on the good or the evil side, then some characters operating on self interest so they are neither good nor evil. I think that it is folly to expect more from the Star Wars Franchise. Now something like Game of Thrones has what you're looking for.

@toastedzen Would you recommend reading them in the order they were published, or in the order they timewise relates to each other?
Any thoughts in this regard is welcomed :)
Started off well and was good for the first 2 season... getting very tedious and stupid by season 3... can't believe I'm still watching it in season 5 cause I'm not even interested in the characters or the 'plot' anymore.

You feel like you have to finish what you started just to complete the series haha
