Lack of chemistry/spark between the main central characters does hurt the show. Sherlock and Watson are not compatible, romantic wise or platonic wise(Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are like strangers acting as acquaintances). Series is an average watch with interesting twists per episode. But the characters are shallow and unrelatable. You can binge watch the show, but don't expect much.
Season 1: Looks interesting. 7/10
Season 2: Nope. poor character development and plot development. Central character Murph is too much a walking disaster to root for her. 3/10
Season 3: Doesn't get any better continues the train wreck that is season 2. Will not watch the following seasons.
They had something special in first season. But ruined the show when they tried to incorporate multiple conflicting elements on the show. I would suggest you watch the first season and skip the rest.
Last scene gave me chills.
Sid: Who are you?
Anon: ...
Sid: Should I be afraid?
Anon: They should be afraid.
The scene before was epic. How do you like them watermelons?
Great story. Vivid characters.I would definitely wait for the second season. I hope they don't mess it up.
I liked it. Good story, Nice acting, Great characters, Brilliant world building. The concept of the multiverse is somewhat finnicky, But they do focus on family. I like the non rushed pace of the TV show.
Brilliant plot. Excellent characters(some are shallow). Decent comedy. I liked it. I especially liked the ADHD/Anxiety part of the MC.
Tyler is killing it as superman. But Elizabeth is not working as Lois Lane, she looks the part. But her acting is atrocious. Kids are both decent cast. The actor change irked me. But new cast looks decent. But initially their characters are too much to handle. I like that this focuses on family dynamics rather than superhuman adventures. I expected woke propagandas in season three with all the comments shouting it. But I did not find any wokeness in it. It still deals with the family of a superhero when a life threatening sickness attacks a member. But they dealt with it in a professional manner. But cliffhanger ending of season 3 left a bad taste in my mouth.
Decent movie with great casting.
This was a bad series. Mediocre characters that devolve as the series progressed. Plot development that stuck on will they/wont they romance. Comically disastrous scenarios one after another that it becomes numb. Main characters with plot armor that will shock Naruto fans. Bad acting all across the board except for Cabe. I don't think this is an intelligent series. I ronically it is a series about high IQ individuals.
Season 2 is shaping up to be even better than season 1. I love it.
Brilliant show. I loved this. I wish that netflix didn't cancel thid
This is a mediocre show with shallow characters and an even weaker plot. There are multiple reasons contributing to make this a mediocre show.
1. Nationalism
AMERICA!!!
Why do you have to shove nationalism down our throats when the antagonists are the alien overlords. There is no government or countries remaining after the attack.
2. Characters
Characters are one dimensional. The MC is portrayed as an intellectual specialising in history. When the show starts out they tried to show his intelligence and rational thinking. But as the show progresses he becomes dumb. Plans are horrible. He is impatient and takes unnecessary risks. Other characters are even worse. Most of the characters don't act like they are facing an alien invasion. And the characters have zero development.
3. Plot armor
There is some obvious plot armor to all the major characters. Even with 99% fatality rates, they survive multiple times. Shoddy writing makes the plot armor so obvious. Even with the stupidest plan they face no major deaths and with some lucks they succeed.
4. Plot
Plot is all over the place. The story is about an alien invasion of earth that focuses on US of A. The MC, a history professor is the main attacking force of the whole world. Don't worry he has his 3 sons as his back up. The direction tries to make the MC as masculine as possible, that it comes as a bit odd. The story is messy and feels like a 30 minute episode stretched to 5 seasons.
a nice feel good show. Sad it got cancelled.
This was a live action that does justice to the original. I like the fact that the live action doesn't tries to do "what would the characters do if it was real life" trick and stuck to the original. Characters were cast beautifully. Luffy was perfect so was ussop. The energy the cast brought was enchanting. I liked it.
Main character's other than Jen are distinctive. Jen also has character development, but only a little bit and at the end. Premise is not novel, it has been done in many books. But the characters bring the plot forward.
8/10 characters
4/10 plot
8/10 world
Pros:
Excellent characters(Kurt Bunker is a under utilized. )
Violence
Great interactions with the characters
BGM
Kai is an excellent antagonist
Cons:
Some weak plot points
A lot of the characters with high potential felt under utilized.
Weak 4th season
Rabbit felt subpar as a villain
This is loosely based on formation of england and mainly deals with the conflicts among danes and saxons.
The story revolves around Uhtred of Bebbanburg(Uhtred Ragnarson), Born to saxons but raised by danes. He is deeply conflicted between peace, loyalty, family, revenge and identity. With a headstrong attitude and propensity jump right in to it with out thinking about the consequences, it will not be easy for Uhtred to survive when neither saxons nor danes takes kindly to his existence.
Pros:
Excellent world building.
Multi-dimensional characters.
Headstrong but lovable MC.
Intricate plots.
Nice story telling.
Cons:
MC changes Female interest too often.
Season 4 and 5 are of inferior quality.
Plot armor of the MC is insane.
MC doesn't age.
MC is a bit of a hypocrite.
You know you are doing something horribly wrong when the central character (ginny) is more unlikable than the other central character (georgia, who is deranged, liar and a murderer). I see the need to include modern american culture here, but do they needed to make Ginny that annoying. Teen angst aside, Georgia was her age when she had to raise a child on her own, survive abusive relationships. Sure it did mess her up. But Georgia is a relatable character, her love toward her children knows no bound. Ginny could cut her mother some slack. It does show great foreshadowing.
This is pure gold. Such strong female characters and each with unique personalities. I love this. I like How at the end of the series, they examined the friendship of Anne and Kate. It was such an unexpected examination.
The plot had so much potential. They could have done more. The age does show for this show. The central characters were weak. It would have been better if they had a little depth.
Horror story evolves into a romantic one. It is a good show.
One of the best quirky duo. The main character is so wacky that you can't stop loving him. Show is even more crazy. This show is hilarious as well as complex. Things make more sense as the show progresses. It makes zero sense in the beginning. It is a good show.
Annoying one dimensional female characters. Seriously? So much whining over trivial things. If the timetravel aspect didn't happen in this series, this would have been the worst series I have watched period. But thought the daughter's character improves over time others don't. May be because she got exposed most to the time travel. Central characters need work. But that does leave a lot for development. Plot sounds interesting but it is too soon to say where this is going.
Average. One dimensional characters. Annoying characters. It does show its age. In 2023, this is not palatable. Character interactions are too childish. This is definitely not for an adult.
That was a wild ride. It has a simple premise. but does it well. Good characters too. Ended first season on freaking cliff hanger. Need the Second season fast.
Initial seasons were a hoot to watch. Just pure wholesomeness. But the later seasons did bring out the glaring problems in the series.
Adam is not a relatable character. Most of the character developments in the show stagnates his development regresses.
He is extremely selfish. The show tries to show off his growth, by him doing hurtful things every episode then doing a grand gesture to make everything okay. He is really spoiled, it gets addressed in the show. Still he is really spoiled. His romantic interests seemed shallow. All of them follow the same pattern.
Side characters are mediocre at best. Beverly is often portrayed as a villain in most episodes. Murray is an absentee father. Barry and Erica are okay. The one thing i liked about the side characters are the JTP. That was a nice touch.
MY favorite time travel fiction
Season 1-3 9/10
season 4-5 6/10
It was average at best when all the crew was together. Not it is just sad.
Lack of good plot and character development was a serious let down. They even had great template to copy it from. What they could have done is to focus on a character and build him up. Or focus on the world building. I am impressed with the world building and creature designs. Excellent visuals.
Excellent Magic system. But shallow characters and plot ruined it for me. I mean we are in it to watch the magic unfold and not to see some teenage angst. A spinoff would be preferred where they explored more on the keys.
