I loved it. Most of the Pearson family are flawed human beings. They strive to be good people but they are flawed nonetheless. The show doesn't try to portray them as perfect beings. Jack who was abused as a child and carries the horrors of Vietnam inside but still tries to be there for his family. And does his best to break the toxic cycle of his family. Rebecca who was from a wealthy family and left all of that for love. Made some bad decisions along the way. After losing her beloved, grief consumed her. But her love persists. Kevin who always felt neglected and desperate for approval. After learning to shove his emotions down for so long that his empathic side rarely comes out. He has the best character development in the story. Randall who always questioned his place in the world. Torn between gratitude and sense of belonging. Kate who used food as her source of love. So sure that she was not worthy of love that she always takes it out on others. All of these characters have flaws but all of them are higly relatable characters. Family dynamic is a huge plus. I liked that about this show.
I really loved they way the story was being told. It is unique that we watch three timelines simultaneously.
this show is idiotic. terrible writing and psychotic characters that don't make any sense. cute friendship between 3 teens (yes 3) may be the only redeemable quality of the show
This is pure comedy gold. This is classic for a reason. If you haven't seen this, then you are missing out. Do watch it.
Adding Zava to an impressive lineup of players is a good strategy. But volatile nature of Zava will fuck up the team dynamics. I hope Ted will pull off a magic trick and make him more approachable like he did with Jamie tartt.
I don't know if it is a faithful adaptaion or not. But I like it and it is one of my favoutie zombie shows.
Pros:
1. Relatable characters with good character development. The bonds between multiple characters are a joy to watch.
2. Terrifying but realistic world.
3. Superb plot.
4. Dark and gritty undertone, still manages to land some jokes
5. Talented Cast (Oberyn Martell and Lyanna Mormont as central characters, what is not to love?)
Cons:
1. Felt too short
2. Need more of bill and frank
3. Minor gripe: Some inconsistencies with how the zombies acted and how it is explained.
S03E01 coming with a big swing. I love it. TED is back.
Relatable and realistic super heroes. Talented and charismatic cast. This is a Great series. Anthony Starr as homelander is an accurate portrayal of modern day superman. Terrifying performance.
Season one: Finding his own voice, Season two: Trying new things, Season three: what's really this about, we don't know, let's finish.
last ep is poor in all aspects
Well constructed show. Acting is great, drama is realistic.
A show notorious for an awful ending comes back from the dead and has an even worse second ending.
An ending which wasn't earned at all:
- Dexter is acting sloppy and idiotic the whole time. This is a man who got away with hundreds of murders.
- Angela, who hasn't been able to solve a series of missing persons cases in her own town for 10+ years, solves the BHB case thanks to a series of plot contrivances, a google search and a freaking retcon (the M99/ketamine inconsistency, that made all of this possible). Her conversation with Batista in the final episode makes no sense either.
- The writing for Harrison is all over the place. After ten episodes I barely know who this kid is and what he wants. He keeps running away from conversations until the final couple of episodes and then we get barely 45 min of father-son bonding out of the whole season. His 180° turn in the next and final episode feels incredibly rushed.
- The show completely falls apart when Dexter kills Logan and he didn’t have to. All the evidence they had on Dexter was circumstantial at best, they had nothing solid to tie him to any of the murders. Any capable lawyer would have got him out of this. So his decision to attack a cop and prove himself a killer is the most illogical and out of character action he could have taken at the time. It was all downhill from there.
I am not upset Dexter died. His death could’ve happened in any number of fulfilling ways that honored the journey and the themes of humanity, morality, consequences, personal growth, development of empathy, justice/vengeance, the lasting effects of trauma the show explored in its' original run.
I’m upset they instead had his own son put him down like an animal while undermining years of character development to tell us he was just a psychopath incapable of feeling all along. Vilifying him entirely at the last second to force this outcome feels like weird moralistic bullshit punishing and mocking us for caring. Miss me with that bullshit.
