A great premise to a series that very quickly fails to achieve it's potential. Season one is worth the watch but it quickly goes downhill. The writing is mediocre, the acting has it's flaws, Billy Burke (no matter how charismatic) is still Billy Burke, the pseudo-science and the apparent fact people don't know basic biology, situations that are unrealistic even for the subject matter ( can you imagine all insects being against us? humanity would be done in a day, a gorilla that can't bash in a stupid elevator grate, etcetera ). I'm still gonna watch season 3 for completion's sake and I'm still entertained a bit but this could have been so much more.
Edit: Upon finishing Season 3 I must disagree with most/many people that it was the worst season. Besides a couple of annoying writing errors I enjoyed Season 3 way more than the second one. It got a bit annoying that a certain person kept surviving and that we, ofcourse, will never know what would have happened in Season 4.
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.
It's a good Job that I don't watch these old Sci-Fi just for the Storyline!
To be honest I love it for an escapism, Some people would think I need a psychological test or some rubbish, It'll not be the first time.
I even had people asking if I believe in Aliens on the moon, It's only a Username & I love Sci-Fi and Astronomy.
I don't care If " Andromeda " as had a few bad weeks and need to make a few cutbacks in a season or two.
It's still Science Fiction, Alien Worlds, Space related and the endless Possibilities that still await to be discovered by Man.
Just hope I live to see a Manned Mars Landing in my lifetime!
The Fact is, I just love Sci-Fi, And these help me feel I'm away from this backwater rock called Earth.
Peace!
Everyone seems to want to compare Elementary to Sherlock. Why? They are two entirely different takes in a stream of disparate tv and movie takes that have been going on since Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce hit the screen in 1939. (Lord knows I've had an ongoing argument with my cousins about Jeremy Brett since 1984.) Bollocks! All of it. The fact is, Elementary has become a gem of its own distinct value. A wonderful example of the magic that happens when chemistry bubbles up between two actors/characters and is not limited to them but continues on to a cast that has since, on their own merit, earned their viewer's sincere appreciation for something rather rare: Stories with characters for whom we truly feel something. Well done Elementary. I hate to see the series end.
Much better than expected. It felt like they didn't quite know what it should be. Should it be taken seriously or not? Should it be drama or comedy or a mix of the two? Could have been real good if they had figured that out. I really liked the idea and the setting a lot. That carried the show. If you don't like the setting/idea you shouldn't watch it. It doesnt has mucch to offer aside from that but it has short episodes so you can give a try.
I kept rooting for Oska and Sun.... It would have made a nice side story.
The adventures of my favorite fictional Angus was a staple of the 80s and early 90s. Holds up exceptionally well. Can't speak for the remake as I've never seen an episode of it
the theme music was lit too
nice sequel to the movies!
I love it.. and fills the gap warehouse 13 left in me... they should make a crossover...
by the way to the ones that say warehouse ¹³ was first watch the librarian movies ...
I'm sorry, but I have to come to the show's defense.
I only read the first book long ago and honestly don't even remember the mystery with the Bat Lady, just that there was a Bat Lady and a spooky house. What I do remember is that while the book was entertaining, the characters were generic and flat. Well, the TV show takes care of that problem and does it with skill and humor!
First, props to the show for leveraging true color-blind casting. I'm pretty sure Mickey was White & Jewish in the books, at least he read that way. So, to be true to that part of the protagonist's identity and also seamlessly blend it with what I'm guessing is a Dominican, Cuban, or Puerto Rican Black identity, especially since the story takes place in the tri-state area, is a brilliant move! They did a great job authentically portraying and interweaving each side of Mickey's racial identity. Well done!
I spent at least a third of the time watching The Fall of the House of Usher absolutely annoyed at Victorine's casting, because as much as I love the actress T'Nia Miller and as a Black woman who loves to see more representation on the screen, between her beautiful ebony skin and her British accent, it would be implausible that she'd be Roderick's daughter, especially when her mother looked Central American to me.
Another prop to the show for how they portrayed Spoon. He was a very awkward character in the book, endearing but awkward and possibly on the Spectrum. In the show, while he's still awkward, endearing, and possibly on the Spectrum, he's also charming as heck and flat out hilarious. Ema was given more depth in the show than she had in the book too.
I'd say give the show up through Episode 3 until you decide if it's worth it to invest more time. That's when the mystery and all the characters really come into their own.
The series started nice but ended shit. Not worth a look, unfortunately you will only find out at the end. Very bad ending.
It has a great premise and cash but the writers fell asleep behind the wheel midway and story became a wishy-washy romantic drama from its initial badass crime-surgeon show.
The show shouldn't be named Yong Pal ; it they are not going stick with this character till the end. It should have been named Revenge of Sleeping Beauty or Young-Ae instead
Overall its a good ;if you don't come with expectations ; I liked the way the show has started and it get really boring at the end (13-18) .
Very predictable but still enjoyable . I still don't get how such simple scandals illicit fear in the entertainment industry and huge financial and image drop ; it must either be an exaggeration or just Korean cultural things. We are either shameless in the west that we defend our actors with worst behaviour or we just separate screen time from real time.
Kids playing Ye Eun and Min Ji are both done well . Its very hard for a kid to be that quiet and expressive .
Si-won plays the usual arrogant immature and selfish prick that meets a bubbly and busy body Ahjumma Chae-rim . To be frank they never looked like they have such a huge gap ; you would only notice with her body language and not her beauty . The second leads if you can call them must be one of the boring characters i have seen and that is where the show falls flat in execution.
The love triangle(s) don't feel like there is much going on and felt a bit rushed in the end that the two leads like each other just like that . It more felt like they need each other and compliment each other but not in love.
All the fun moments and interactions between the two leads and the kids aside this show has nothing going that excites you but it is still a pleasant watch and are dying for an idol/actor based show .
Time has certainly not benefited one of the first great adaptations of Stephen King's novels to television. But, after 26 years and with the new version being broadcast, there are remarkable elements, even impossible to include in a current production (the corpses in the garbage truck ...). Within its restrictions, it is a very successful version, which manages to convey the complex apocalyptic universe of the novel.
My first television series that I considered mine, something that could seperate me from my family, an interest that was entirely mine. As such it's very very close to my heart. I'll never not love it.
So, reviewing after 3 seasons...
Season 1, good. Season 2, weird and makes you think at times, should I be watching this. Season 3, well, it's a mix of 1 & 2.
No one ever has jet lag? :)
