Starts off pretty bad then all of a sudden you've been awake for 20 hours and binge watched the entire thing.
Persevere through those initial few bad episodes and you're in for a right treat.
I thought it was a beautifully told if simple story... I’ve been reading critics reviews and am wondering why some people even bother if they’re going to compare everything to GoT, and then complain because the show isn’t a perfect season.
I think it’s as good a first season as anyone can expect from any show that’s not Battlestar Galactica.
The costume design was impeccable, the set design so wonderfully rich, which is impressive considering there is so much grey. Whoever was responsible for the lighting did an amazing job of giving it a complete personality in this narrative.
The performances were a little uneven here and there, but what first season has a perfect possession of every character? None, that’s how many.
All in all it’s a glorious entry, and I love the way The Fae are presented, and as gritty the allegories are with Nazism and the nascent authoritarianism and white nationalism on the loose in the U.S., I appreciate the tone and structure of the politics and how it’s played out from the top down.
I enjoyed this tremendously and am looking forward to more yarn for this story...

Interesting show. Ben Platt and Zoey Deutch are so good! But everyone is LGBTQ+? Exaggerated ratio here, and this turns the show a little one-dimensional.
No show leaves me on the edge of my seat as much as this one. It's incredible and proof that a beautifully diverse cast with all sorts of personal and cultural struggles and a strong sci-fi plot can co-exist. Don't see that too often. This has been my favorite TV show since it's debut, and so far the second season's only improved my opinion of it. Love every single one of the characters for all their strengths and flaws, and am moved by the way these characters that are individual and unique are at the same time so in harmony with each other. A piece of paradise that real life should aspire to mirror one day. Highly recommend. It's warm and touching but breathtaking and filled with adrenaline all at the same time. The ultimate show for me. (:
I had really high expectations for this show and I must say it delivered in every sense. Everything is perfectly done from writing, cinematography to acting. Especially casting is spectacular! For me Michael Sheen stands out the most, his performance as Aziraphale is absolutely adorable. The show is very true to the book as well, so if you're a fan, you will definitely love this.
10/10 from me. I highly recommend it for binge-watching!
Ehrm. Strangely hilarious. I would say "this one grew on me". Binged basically right through the end. Enjoy :) (or don't, not for everyone that's for sure).
Travelers" starts out avoiding the normal time-travel series plot holes by not showing the future world being manipulated -- skipping the usual dual-timeline clichés. While the future is referenced, and communicated with, it remains unseen and lets the viewer concentrate on the present, until the last couple episodes when things go a little haywire and “Travelers” becomes an example of why it's difficult to prolong a series about time travel.
Season 1 doesn't have any sort of resolution, ending with a cliffhanger to setup a never ending story. The method of time travel isn't the best, lends itself to plot holes. The season finale seems like one ginormous plot hole. Some episodes are better than others, the acting is OK for a story going nowhere... Seems very much like a SyFy Network type series.
Am into Druids, magic etc . Watched first hour or so expecting great things. Thought it was very confusing, who's who??
Amazing that Romans invade Britain and have fluent English, at least they should have a slight accent as in Vikings. Very posh druids...
Never saw Romans wearing trousers???
Will give it a second chance and hope it improves.
Mind f* and retro-modern techno wierd. Exactly how I like it
This made me laugh out loud multiple times. Soundtrack is a banger and the cast is entirely endearing. Yeah, the characters have moments where they're not perfect but the show would be completely irresponsible and sugar coated if these women were written as perfect beings. The girl power and female friendship dynamics that are rooted in childhood and trauma is so real. I can't wait for season 2.
Wow, it kept me bated breath all along... I'm impressed how well this is written to keep you in suspense and surpise you while you know what will inevitably happening... Once I saw the first episode I just couldn't stop to watch, it's addictive haha. Also, very nice transitions and camera moves, it was very appreciable ! One of the best shows I've seen this year, thank you Marc Cherry !
WOW! If you liked Desperate Housewives (which I loved), you'll love this. Marc Cherry has created a fantastic witty drama that entertains and intrigues. The cast is perfect for each character and really carries the show very well. Probably one of my favorite new shows of the season!!
Outstanding!! Funny, serious, and hilarious! Perfectly executed. Binged watched it in a day and then hated myself for doing it; next season please.
Yes, yes, yes this is what the super hero genre needs. Fresh but gritty thanks to the R+18. Hooked after 1 episode. Keep up the heroics Amazon.
I thought the first episode was interesting, if not a little slow. I am now 4 episodes in and I am hooked. Really familiar tropes are turned on it’s head and it’s such a great watch. I wasn’t a fan of umbrella academy as I thought the pacing was terrible, however with ‘the boys’ I feel so far they’ve nailed it. Everything feels relevant and not filler, I can’t wait to see more!
Edit: finished now, a brilliant watch throughout. The quality of this show put into context what has been wrong in other superhero shows for me. A breath of fresh air in a stagnating genre. Great job guys.
I absolutely loved the book way back when, and this adaption is on par with the book...almost perfect you might say. Stunning cinematography and brilliant acting, especially by Michael Sheen and David Tennant, make Good Omens a clear candidate for Series of the Year. Highly recommended watch!!!!
Excellent adaptation of great book. Many talented actors and stunning cinematography. Terry Pratchett would be proud :)
Easily one of MTV's best series. Probably their only great accomplishment since Daria. Teen Wolf is witty, fun, and has a brilliant cast. People will underestimate this show because of its title and youthful appeal. However it's a standout drama with chilling story lines and (for the most part) a great script. The lore can be a bit hectic and not consistent but the cast has incredible chemistry that makes up for the sometimes lackluster sub plots. For a supernatural show, it's stellar. Each season is gradually more complex and darker. If you love supernatural shows, and you're open minded, give Teen Wolf a chance.
This should be called Pretty Little Plot Holes, actors are terribad and it's overall kinda boring and dumb but I will never stop watching it until they tell me WHO THE HELL A IS
I didn't think I would like this but I gave it a shot and just couldn't stop watching it until I finished the first season. I like the different eras and personalities they meet as well as the fashion. Not too sure about the larger story line but it has potential and I would gladly watch more.
Rufus' character was a bit hard to watch, not sure if intentional but either way I was not a fan and don't see that changing.
I really like this show the longer I watch it, the time travel almost seems to be becoming secondary to the actual plot. The chemistry of the cast is great, the acting quite good and they reveal enough of the plot to keep you interested while keeping enough secret to keep you intrigued. I like this better than legends of tomorrow.
This show quickly grew on me when i started watching it, and i was sold after the first episode. I might also add that the pilot episode does an excellent job of giving you the idea of how the show is gonna be like. Alot of shows dont have that, and im not saying that every TV show should have one, because the task is quite hard. But Suits does it, and writers can learn a thing or two about that from this. Excellent!
Now that we've got that down, i wanna say that EVERYONE should watch this show. It has Drama, Characters, Acting excellence, on the tip of your seat exitement and most of all, hot women (i'm kidding, but not really :P) The Show just oozes of brilliance. Haven't watched it yet? Then stop reading about it, and for the love of the TV gods go watch the pilot! I PROMISE you will get hooked!
I must admit I was rather reluctant when WLIIA came back on, thinking it could never be as fun as before, but a few episodes in I was completely won over. The humour is still topnotch and makes me cry-laugh basically every single episode and Aisha is an awesome host (so glad they didn't bring back boring Drew Carey). Also the sketches are literally the same, so I don't get what people are complaining about. This is a hilarious show and the new seasons are just as brilliant as the old ones.
Best show I've ever seen. I love it almost as much as my true love.
It didn't made it into the comedy greats but Apartment 23 is one of those series that didn't go after the easy laughs, made you work for the reward, and was subtly hilarious and great. Such a shame that it didn't go beyond its second season.
