I like it so far but why does Disney always short the episode time with 10 min of credits. Hate that.
Mum dies, wakes up next morning.... "okay anyway, off to make some friends" !
The first and only animated DC or Marvel show or movie I've actually found worth watching. Finally, one for adults (and, considering the language and graphic violence, only for adults at that). And I must say that Harley is pretty hot in this. Don't get confused by the start of the first episode, as she does change to her new modern Suicide Squad-based outfit eventually. This series is focused on the bad guys, sidekicks, the competitive environment for them. Also, it has a lot of points about female empowerment (mansplaining, etc.) which is refreshing vs. more outdated roles. Definitely addicted, and can't wait for the 3rd episode!
It certainly lacks Harmon's story telling, but I liked it, it's filled with Roiland's chaotic energy.
A stupidly addictive show. I don't even watch television, so naturally I hold a strong disdain for reality shows. This one came at me like a sucker punch. It captures genuine and mundane moments between people, from intimate conversations to cooking meals together. It's well-edited and well-paced, occasionally interrupted with fun commentary by a panel of comedians. Ironically, for a show without a script, it has it's share of "character development" and twists. All Hail Yuto Handa.
Quite possibly one of the most important sci fi sitcoms to date. Really paved the way for stuff like Rick and Morty.
this had me hooked from the very first episode and it keeps getting better!!!
I'm completely hypnotized by and in love with this show.
In addition to being visually pleasing, with every detail, from costumes to scenery, carefully taken into consideration, it's also shaking us up on the inside. Its "between the lines" messages, and wonderful acting from the entire cast that delivers so many emotions in their facial expressions alone, are all sublime.
I find myself looking forward to weekends and waiting in anticipation for what is to come. Great job everyone, and much love. <3
The first episode was awful, 2nd not so bad, but it does actually get better and worth watching.
They’ve gone for a strange stylistic way to film the show, which is probably the hardest part to get past, but you get used to it.
It has some great actors in, but unfortunately the script is poor. Which makes it difficult for the actors. Although, there are some poor actors mixed in with the good.
It actually got a fairly decent storyline if you keep going. Which is a shame as it could have been a really good show if produced etc by someone else. I’m very confused to why they took this approach in the show, it makes it seem low budget.
It comes over as a children’s or family show in a lot of ways, but in fact it’s not given the brutality, swearing, gore etc.
I’m glad I pushed past the things I didn’t like and focused on the story/plot.
Well, I finished it. I wanted to like this show So. BAD. I love fantasy shows. I can tolerate police procedurals so long as the ensemble is good. And it wasn't entirely awful. I did finish all six seasons after all. But something just never clicked here.The cast never really gels, although there are a few true standouts (Monroe, Rosalee, Renard, Wu. God I love Wu and his much needed "we all know this is ridiculous" wisecracks.). The writing feels really lazy half the time. Characters make dumb decisions constantly to force the plot to some awful place that it really doesn't need to go. And then in season four, they basically reboot in a failed attempt to get somewhere more interesting than monster of the week. sigh It's just a trainwreck of a show. But worth the watch for fantasy buffs, And Sasha Roiz fans. Dzam, that man needs his own show.
As others have stated, this is an OK show. Not something I would recommend to others, unless they need something to kill time with. The characters are forgetful and not great acting. However the shooting locations are amazing, just breath taking scenery.
This show could be skipped. You're not missing anything.
What a boring ending.... Don't even waste your time on this crappy show
The producers really struck gold with this one. One of the craziest stories with some of the most batshit insane people you have ever seen. I mean seriously, if this was a scripted show I would stop watching because the characters are too fucking crazy and unbelievable. But this is actually real. What The Actual Fuck.
Meh. Just a boring YA fantasy show. All the typical tropes and bad stuff associated with that genre you're going to get with this show. But without any of the good or interesting parts. Just boring main characters, forgettable villains and bad acting all around.
But it does have great cinematography and set design.
I'm probably not the target audience for these kinda shows anymore but I do still enjoy them from time to time when they are made well. This one just isn't in almost all aspects.
Have now watched the whole series and it didn’t disappoint!!!!
The first 2 episodes are the best
Episode 4 just didn’t do it for me
But the series was brilliant and I hope we get more to follow......
Oh and make sure you do watch all of 1-7 and then sit back and glow in brilliance of episode 8
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...

The second half of the show kinda drags a bit - the way Korean shows add scenes that don't add much to the story, and you can tell the scriptwriter changed things to accommodate the TV ratings - but the first half of the story, and some of the side story lines (e.g. Lee Jaekyung conspiracy, and the detectives) make the show worth finishing to the end.
Season 1 was great, after that they were just milking the story. Being able to create characters with whatever 'super-power' a writer chooses lends itself to lazy storytelling -- like killing characters for 'dramatic-effect' and then bringing them back to life...
The first two seasons are awesome, the third not bad but the last 2 are ugly
Show has been renewed for a 2nd seeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn!
Hell yeah!
