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
This show is streets ahead.
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 need Jim. I need Dexter Morgan."
Well, in my opinion, this is the best episode so far. Can't wait for the next episode.
that's genius! nowadays there will never be movies like this again
I was very enthused about this once I heard it was Lindlehoff at the helm. The Leftovers is one of my all time favorites, and this series promises to be a deep dive thematically with him at the helm. The series opener is as smart and interesting as I expected, but I was happy to see that it delivers on the action elements, as well. Very solid beginning - I'm psyched to see where it goes.
Zach and Mr. Porter's trial episodes were the most interesting. I was super excited for another season, but for some reason, season 2 fell short for me. Should have left it at season 1 and ended it there.
I watched the first season when it aired, and thought it was a muddled mess, but based on the recommendation of friends I gave it another try, and I'm so glad I did. Season 2 the show really starts to find its footing, and pace. Another commenter mentioned the "trendy ending that doesn't answer any questions"; to that I have to say what more questions could you possibly want answered? I thought the "ending was BRILLIANT".
The entire show is about the extremes that humans will go to assign meaning to random events. There is no providence, there is no master plan, there is no destiny, and if you believe otherwise, then yes, you WILL be disappointed in this series. In the end this show is about the human mind and how it is so very fragile and so fallible; yet it shapes the world around us, and more importantly shapes those around us. We must be careful with sharing our beliefs, because they are contagious, yet in the end my amount to nothing.
Am I the only one thinking that leaving the robot alone is heartless? He's just standing there so sad like when these terrible people leave a dog in the woods...
Why does a law professor also run a high stakes law firm, expecting her entry level students to do all the leg work of a field they know nothing about?
Imagine walking into your first science class, only to have the teacher yell at you for not knowing advanced quantum mechanics already, then failing you if you don't cure cancer.
Everything is just so messed up. Awesome!
Started watching for Nathan and was not disappointed. Perfect amount of humour, action and familiar character developed to make it addictive without being tiring. It's rare that i get to season 2 of a show and would prefer not to have a break until the third season. Also like the addition of body cam footage, makes me feel more part of the action. How realistic is it? Frankly don't care, I can watch a number of show, heavy dramas for that which I equally love but that's not what i came here for. As advertised.

In Spike Lee's newest joint "Apocalypse Now" meets "The Treasure of Sierra Madre". The titular "5 Bloods" are the 5 African-American men who fought together in the "Vietnam War" or as guys in 'Nam like to call -- the "American War." The remaining 4 Bloods of today would like to go back for the remains of their fallen brother and buried "gold."
Spike Lee wastes no time in getting to the point right away. He uses actual footage from the past and makes sure to educate the folks of today.
Though like most of his joints the story can become long and messy, the incredible direction and powerful performances make this the best film I have seen this year.
Great story line. I really enjoyed a version of Flash that wasn't so superficial and cracking jokes the whole time. And the Batman timeline twist totally caught me off guard. Nice touch.
I never thought a movie with only 12 men in 1 room with no action could be so thrilling, so engaging, so thought-provoking, so emotional so... PERFECT!
The plot is amazing. 12 men just argue and discuss murder in a room for the whole film. In A room! The film, however, is so interesting. It's probably a good description of American Jury System in 50's.
Just one of those shows that really turned me off, at some point I really didn't like the characters even though I felt invested in it, it just really turned me off.
I can't handle this anymore
I got up to S02E12 and its just... bleugh
I find myself checking Twitter more than watching this
"There can't be two Alpha Titans."
First things first: Yes, the humans for the most part are the worst part of the movie. The story is pretty simplistic and whenever the camera would pan to Millie Bobby Brown and her crew I would think "who cares!". That being said, monster scenes and fight sequences were really a true sight to see, and the action was crisp. Kaiju were done right.
The words cult and classic doesn`t even begin to describe this. It´s amazing it premiered over 75 years ago. I have seen this so many times and it still makes me laugh every time. Although I feel for poor old Tom much more with every time I watch it.
I prefer the original Hanna/Barbera cartoons. The later ones are OK but never quite reached the quality in terms of animation and script.
jfc give this man an editor who can say "No".
It's frankly amazing that he did shot most of the storyline focused scenes first time around I assume a good DCU superhero movie after two attempts... and buried it in a whole hour, if not more, of unnecessary slow-mo music videos and stupid or creepy for no reason scenes.
And for the love of god keep Whedon away from it... Who the hell cuts character arc that a core part of a main storyline?!
I just don't get it. He could have so easily cut stupid equation thing and nodes to future movies away if that was the real point of reshoots. Why rearrange so much of the story bits, assuming of course, that the plot was already completed by than.
P.s. Well, I hope someone on the internet will eventually make another cut of this and finally saves the movie for good.And add the race scene between Flash and Superman
I mean. I'm a simple woman. You say "Jake Johnson" and I'm there.
Sadly It's way too underrated
Great sequel. A bit more towards action but still some powerful character moments. What makes this work anyway is the portrayal of the apes not only from the technical side, no, even more how they are written. What always drew me to this story is the approchability. It felt possible which, for me, is a sign of a good story baseline. And even with the role reversal in the end the apes are no different than men which makes this also a tragic story.
So far this is really one of very few remakes that don´t stand behind the original. They both are equally great within there timeframe. Althought technically it is not a remake but, by staying true to the story, a prequel. Now I hope they can keep the quality up for the next one.
