Just an overly violent show about a bunch of predictable and horrible one-dimensional characters where the suspension of reality is constantly needed to push the story along. If Tim McGraw's Dutton knew this was how his offspring would turn out he'd have ended the family line in 1883.
Another take. It's like Dallas but with no one as likeable as Patrick Duffy.
Some hard-care right-wing revisionist propaganda. Poor oligarch rancher-victim and Indians who steal cattle. That said, I'm not halfway through season one and I don't how many bodies they've piled up. It's worth a watch but it's clearly got an agenda.
Absolutely hilarious to me that the very goofy super entertaining openly melodramatic cowboy soap opera has become a culture war talking point for the kind of insufferably tedious people that spend all their time on Twitter virtue signaling about how much they hate virtue signaling instead of spending time with their grandkids or something.
Yellowstone is purely ridiculous in its plotting, completely removed from the reality of modern ranching in a microcosm and 'western' politics as a macrocosm, and incredibly fun because of it - especially Kelly Reilly and Wes Bentley who 100% realize what kind of show they are in and what kind of performances it needs - but good lord, the absolute irony of its most ardent and passionate fanboys who take it way too seriously being the kind of fake cowboys that the show itself considers its internal enemy is so delicious that it actually makes the show better in of itself. Newsflash, if you think Yellowstone is owning the libs or whatever I can guarantee you are closer to the try hard out of towners in the valley desperate for 'authenticity' and cosplaying in their cowboy hats than you are to the Duttons, the same way most people who think they are Ricks are really Jerrys.
The first three seasons are all good and get better the more over the top they get, but season four seems to be running out of steam, most likely because almost half of the running time was used as backdoor pilots for at least three spin offs which we all know is the signal of a show stretched too thin, but as long as they resist some of the more obvious pitfalls due to it catapulting into the mass audience it should stay solid.
For fans of Deadwood, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, and Passions.
Absolutely hilarious people griping about "woke themes" - you know The Boys is also extremely woke, right??? It's a nonstop critique of fascism, U.S. imperialism, patriarchy, capitalism, and every other power structure that exists. So...yeah.
Anyway...Gen V fucking rocks and I am so excited to see what's next and where they go with everything. It's everything I would have wanted from a spin-off with a younger cast. I'm obsessed with this universe!
I see people complaining this show is too “woke.” I think it is great. I’m liking even more than The Boys.
One of the better shows of the past 3 years, honestly. It's amazing so far.
Don't trust the comments though, very little about this is overtly "woke" - the only thing I can think people are talking about is the fact one of the main characters has the super power to change the shape of their body into male and female at will and thus are referred to as them or they. Or the fact that gay people exist in the series which I guess must mean it's propaganda or something, right? lmao.
i can't take seriously anyone using he word woke (a word that stopped being serious since i don't know, 2014) as a criticism, and i haven't been disappointed yet. these people are hilarious.
show is fine, not a masterpiece but fun.
Wonder how many seasons it's going to take for the anti woke crowd to realize that the series has always been woke and they are being made fun of every episode.
I'm always amazed that the anti woke people don't realise The Boys is making fun of them
The boys is a gritty take on the superhero genre, with similar characters to DC and Marvel comics but make them evil and based on fortune 500 run franchise(s) in america with the top 7 been monetized an corrupt and lets you see the seedy underground when the lights go down. The show is not for the light hearted or your usual christian bible thumper, but is a great watch, start to finish. It's a R-18 rated show and shows it, so don't complain if that offends you. But i recommend "The Boys", i enjoyed it greatly and await the second season!
this show had a 34% score before it even started airing...homophobes are PRESSED!!!
:heart:x8
OK, right off the bat, I have to say the episode 1 opening scene is a bit of a red herring - but I'm sure they'll clear that up in season 2 or 3.
On the other hand, the rest of the show is a page-turner. I love the 4 main female characters. This show does kind of meander thru several different genres tho. Having said that, I found that I didn't care. It really keeps sucking you in, keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Is season 2 out yet?
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
It is my opinion this show has so far got it right by ANNE RICE!!
I can safely say that Twin Peaks is my favourite show of all time. It's magical, funny, sad and stunning. Dale Cooper will always be my favourite character and I'm sure that I will revisit this amazingly weird world many times throughout my life.
Twin Peaks is indisputably one o the greatest shows ever, however you have to watch it at the right time and recognize a few things.
First off, if you get to the end of the 3rd episode and you still don't like it, then it may not be your type of a show. That third episode is really the point where you find out if you'll like the rest or not.
Secondly, if you watch it and don't like it, then wait a couple years then come back. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked it if I watched it a few years ago.
Thirdly there is a noticeable drop in quality about halfway through the second season. Hammer your way through these episodes, do not skip them. I know they are painful to watch but the payoff is worth it. The show eventually does get itself back on track just in time for the final episode to be the greatest episode of any television show ever.
I recommend this show to everyone but that doesn't mean it's for everyone. Give it a shot though, it's really fucking good
I'm really positively surprised at how well this mini-series was executed and the incredible amount of people who actually came back to do it. It was nice to experience the Gilmore Girls atmosphere yet again after such a long time.
This is a faithful continuation of a show I loved to watch when it originally aired and I enjoyed this short ride just as much (yes, even though I am a man :P) despite some tiny issues.
Don't be fooled by those comments, the show isn't as bad as they are saying, it was most likely not directed towards them. Everyone has a type of show they like, so if you aren't a fan of teenage drama this obviously won't be a show for you (duh).
Ps: if you are into teenage drama meets mystery this one is for you, the first few episodes are more of the former but it gets way better as the episodes pass. It had a the 100 and under the dome vibe.
I didn’t even know this story was from a book. I guess that shows you they never said it was exact match which so many people wining that it isn’t the book story. I say just enjoy it or don’t watch it and enjoy reading the books again. Instead of forcing yourself to watch and then complain. :/
Outstanding production, acting and CGI!
If you’ve read the seven books you may have issues with the screenplay and the “Apple-fication” of several aspects of the show. I expected that though. Some people seem to refer to this as “woke”. I call it writing a screenplay for modern times based on a universe and fictional society conceived nearly 80 years ago. Actual society and audiences have changed. If you’re hung up on that aspect you may not enjoy this as much.
As for myself, I loved the books and thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes of the show! Seeing this universe come to life on my screen is amazing to me!
The pilot episode is just brilliant. Wipes the floor with the rest of new sci fi television. The vistas and scenic design may be the best since Lynch's Dune. Watch on the biggest screen you've got.
I didn't think I'd like this show this much at first, but now , the only thing I can say about it it's that it was an incredible show. In addition to the story, topics such as racism, the good representation of the LGBT community, the inspirational strong women we can see on the screen are just important things that really deserves to be seen on TV more often. It's a good show that deserves to be watched.
I’m so shocked by these negative comments... this latest episode was so good, and you needed the first few episodes to play out how they did for context. You guys are weird lol.
I don’t get the negativity. Honestly you people are so entitled. The lack of context is intentional and there are several clues as to why it’s that way. It’s not a 50s to show (we haven’t seen them imitate a 60s tv show yet, that’s next week). It’s going to change probably every week, even up to the point of imitating modern tv shows like the office from what they’ve said. And the context is clear enough by the end of the second episode. Even without reading additional articles to explain the more subtle hints, you can tell what’s going on at least loosely. Plus it does a great job lampooning the absurdity of 50s tv and ideals about homemaking and marriage. To hilarious effect
The sound effects are eerie and scary. The camera work is excellent. The performance is pure. The show really works for me.
A dark and interesting speculation on a wold long past the singularity, where human consciousness can be downloaded and plugged into different bodies (or sleeves). What becomes of humanity in a world with such power and an ever widening gulf between wealth and poverty?
Really great show. Once you get past the first two episodes it becomes quite compelling. Yes, it's a teenage drama, that doesn't make it a bad show.
I’m enjoying it, it could be better unfortunatly, but generally I like it.
My main gripe is the background music, it’s just a bit off and almost cheapens the whole show. Reminds me of an 80’s show. I don’t normally notice any background music, but this is annoying.
I like anything sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural etc. And it is difficult it seems to pull off a good show. So, I’m used to them all having something off with them.
The female reporter is probably the most annoying character and it’s just too much and spoils things.
It’s good to see characters from old shows and films: Damon Salvatore- Vampire Diaries
Jeremy and Eleana Danvers - Bitten
Seelie Queen - Shadowhunters
Dr Elliot - 12 Monkeys
And so many more
It’s not as cheesy as some of the above mentioned thankfully lol.
Something is not quite right about this show sadly, it’s got a good line up of cast and so is the plot, but it’s simply not delivered as well as it could be. Almost a bit rushed perhaps. I can’t quite put my finger on it.
However, I’m still enjoying it and hoping it will improve if it gets a second season. As this can be common with new shows.
Definitely worth watching.
If you have read the book, the movie was shit compared to the book. If you compare tv show to the book, it's shit again. Approach this as something new, dont compare it to the book. It has a potential, lets see how well it goes.
i absolutel loved this series. The setting is beautiful, the lighting is great, the music is hauntingly beautiful. The story does take a while to get going and in the beginning you dislike the main character, but once you understand the reasons behind her actions you almost feel guilty for ever disliking her.
