Halfway done with this season, slogged through the absolute shitshow of an episode (ep12) and I HOPE they finished the season in a good way. Although from what I've already seen so far... not very likely.
Season 2 was ok, certainly better than the first one but the third one is a disaster :D
I thought this will be a dumpster fire but it actually works quite well :D You literally have to see it to believe it, Canal+ did it again!
Highly recommend to watch at least 3 episodes before you call it quits - you might get hooked!
Polish TV shows are godawful, however, the ones produced by C+ are decently written and the casting is rarely the "usual suspects" of Polish mediasphere.
A couple of episodes in it gets better ¯_(ツ)_/¯
No idea who greenlit this piece of manure. Looks like someone watched a couple of bad action-comedy films and then tried to write one... I cannot think of one thing that is decent in this one - writing is really, really bad, music is generic, fight scenes are "fantastic" as in they are not related to reality at all :(
If this was a film it would be awful, but someone decided to stretch it to EIGHT episodes. If only it was semi-decent...
Edit:
One more thing, this show reminds me of Z Nation tv show, an Asylum production (so heavily B-class production).
The thing is, Z Nation might have had low budget and was campy but at least it was funny and it build an interesting world.
Obliterated is an action-comedy show and it does both of the genres poorly. I don't think I laughed once throughout all eight episodes.
If only there were SOME things in this show that they got right, but even the drug use is portrayed poorly - guy eats a guacamole bowl of LSD and shrooms and is not only perfectly lucid for HOURS but also when it hits he has one specific hallucination? Give me a break, even wikipedia entries for drugs would get you closer to truth than this show's screenwriters lol.
There's a lot of tits and dick in this show, so there's that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This is a poorly written shit-show and the only saving grace is Lance Reddick.
The main protagonist is supposed to be likeable, because she has a purpose, is "one of the good guys" while Umbrella is universally bad. Thing is, this character is unlikable in almost every scene and the choices... well, lol. I'd go with Umbrella if all my information about RE universe came from this show alone ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Day of the Dead was mostly a claustrophobic drama with the backdrop being a zombie apocalypse.
This show seems to be a retelling of the original film and while it is getting there, at least story-wise, this is a completely different beast, sharing only the name and "story" with its predecessor.
After five episodes I do not think:
- it will be renewed
- it will get any better
If you want a "lighter" experience than The Walking Dead then Asylum's Z Nation is your best bet - it's original, campy and surprisingly well-written.
I was wondering when will the Reginald "Spark Jar Releasing While Nukes Are Flying" Hargreeves scene come around and I was not disappointed (slaughtering the Majestic-12 peeps) :D
MY TURTLES! :D Carson is a sweetheart.
Tony Amendola is a treasure, even for a few brief moments he is on the screen.
As always, Vala <3 <3 <3
I absolutely adore Jack<>Daniel interactions, they are solid gold since S02 or S03 :D
"Dotcom millionaire smart-ass" :D
Also, Charlie is such a punchable character, the actor playing him does this character well - I hate him in every scene he's in.
Also, the time-jump between "I got your old job" and "I'm back guys!" was bizarre.
Vala really steals every scene she's in, even if she's not saying anything and just looking, reacting :D
Why do they have to kill off our favorite doctors in this universe :/
I find two things interesting about this episode.
First one is that in some scenes John's P90 has a flash hider attached and in others a suppressor. Which means he either has a suppresor in a pocket somewhere and he changed it around (to suit the situation) ooooooor it's a goof :D
Second one is the shield. When interacting with the "bandits" Lucius beats them all up, some lose teeth or break their arms. When Kolya interrogates Lucius he suddenly is easily grabbed and submerged in the water.
If the shield only "protects" the wearer then how come Lucius was able to inflict such damage "accidentally" on the phony bandits?
If not then why did he not overpower Kolya's men?
Bizarre.
"When was the last time you had a time off?"
Elizabeth seemed puzzled and did not answer, despite her having basically several months off work after coming back to Earth :D
It was like a week, maybe two, since they got back to Atlantis? Rofl
Loved seeing this much of O'Neill on the screen, I miss the guy.
Also, he's looking way better than in the short time he was on-screen in SG-1 Season 9 :)
Damn you, Cam Mitchell! :D
Wowza, the former Qtesh partner has a bad case of Orangefaceitis :x
Also, Vala holding the handcuffs key in her mouth after going out of the car was a BIZARRE choice. I understand the need to explain how she freed herself, but I am currently re-watching this episode on a Blu-ray and I had to pause to analyze what it is that I'm seeing. Looked like she had a huge drooling scene lol, can't imagine how this looked in SD lol.
Malikai returns! Window of Opportunity is a helluva drug.
Mitchell speaking Chinese is chef's kiss :D
One hell of a rollercoaster, this episode!
Martouf! Janet! A room full of Carters :D
Alt-SG-1's plan is ridiculous, but everything else is top-notch. It's weird for me that some two-parter episodes are fillerpallooza and yet a concept like this one does not get the 2-episode treatment.
This episode really could do with the instrumental version of that song...
All the Vala haters... so sweet :D
Jack's Canadian accent is chef's kiss :D
I can't be the only one that spotted the Oreo wrapper in the rubble at 00:00:45 :D
Oh how much I missed Vala <3
Lol, Weir's Simon is Narim, the Tollan that fell in love in Sam Carter :D
Edit:
Halling is Pallan, from SG-1 as well :D I wonder how many actors they re-used in different roles lol
Jack and Harry at it again <3
