The show gets worse by every single episode. What the hell was that tribal chanting and behaviour? I just see no reason anymore for Beacon 23.
Hopefully it won't randomly crash to the TV's home screen while watching.
Before I give thoughts on the show, first let me explain the episodes/season number mix-up. The original Spanish release of this show is only 3 seasons total. Netflix decided to turn 3 seasons into 5 parts, and they turned the first seasons 15 episodes into 22 (by cutting down the runtime to 45 minutes rather than 65).
So season 1 on Trakt is equivalent to part 1 AND 2 on Netflix (though Netflix has 22 episodes compared to 15 on here - but it's the same content, the episodes are just edited shorter on Netflix).
Season 2 on Trakt is equivalent to part 3 AND 4 on Netflix. On Netflix, both parts are 8 episodes each, and those correspond perfectly with the 16 episode season 2 on Trakt.
Finally, season 3 is the only one that actually matches up the epsiode numbers exactly on here and on Netflix - though it's called part 5 on Netflix.
Now some thoughts on the show: this is a hard show to recommend or talk about. The first heist (season 1 on here) is very good, and it's some of the best heist/crime TV you'll see. I was hooked from start to finish (despite some small plot holes or unbelievability). 8.5/10
But after the first heist, things go downhill VERY quickly. The rest of the show is based around one more heist, and for the most part, it's an entertaining watch. But what was a pretty well written show, suddenly becomes a badly written show, filled with character inconsistencies, plot holes, and a whole new level of unbelievability. The first 8 episodes of what is season 2 on here (part 3 on Netflix) is pretty good. But the 8 episodes that come after are not so good. Overall, it's an entertaining watch, but a HUGE step down compared to what came before. Season 2 gets a 6.5/10.
Lastly, we come to season 3 (part 5 on Netflix). This season is just bad. Aside from the last 2 episodes, it's not good at all outside from a few decent moments. I've truly never seen a TV show deteriorate in quality so quickly and consistently as this one does, especially not when a show started off so great in the beginning. 4.5/10 (would be lower if not for the satisfying finale).
I'd recommend watching the first heist (season 1/parts 1 & 2) but unless you're really keen on being disappointed, don't watch any further. Fortunately it's not a long watch.
Helsinki, no one cares about the fucking trench! Just take cover!!
Marseille: "What part of the plan is this?" :joy::joy:
Drama, Drama and NOTHING but MORE DRAMA, Stick to the heist you F****ers!!!!!
Thought provoking, great pacing, :heartbeat: Toni Collette & Merritt Wever's chemistry together - MORE please!!
Horrible, looks like a cheap porno. Possibly the biggest waste if my life.
This movie doesn't discuss why the main character has never had a sexual feeling or desire. She has to ask other people their thoughts on sex because she has none of her own.
She has a boyfriend, but she only wants to have sex because she thinks it's something he will want to do. She might as well be a lesbian faking it.
When they actually have sex, it's not clear if she didn't like it because he is a bad lover, or she doesn't like sex with men, or in general.
Dealing with the reality of the situation and having a discussion about people being asexual or whatever her situation is would have made a much smarter movie.
This friend group is so supportive, I could cry. Everyone deserves to have something like that
I never thought Euphoria would reach a point where it would make me feel indifference. There's a lot of redeemable moments this season, for sure (and please, give Zendaya all the awards), but to me the show retains only a few glimpses of its original charm and emotional potency. Which is a shame. Euphoria has always been over-the-top, but this season barely feels grounded in reality anymore. It's still undeniably entertaining, but I often struggle to feel the heart and intention that used to shine through these characters and their stories. Something's missing, and the result is underwhelming.
the one time I was like yeah that dog had it coming
Superb! Let this be an example of how a story should be told. So many stories written in books lose substance when brought to life in motion pictures. After having to compress it into such a short amount of time to tell the tale properly, many details are left out that make a story special. It was wonderful to see a story that was given enough time to be told while not being over done as well in taking too much time as some are done when ending long after they should have ended just to milk them for more money, taking away from the magic of the whole telling of the story. After the final episode, I felt as if I was losing a loved one, yet satisfied with the closure I felt at its conclusion. In my humble opinion, I believe this to be one of the finest productions of which I have had the opportunity to experience. This is how to tell a story. Watching it again in the future is going to be a blast! Thank you for the adventure.
I was hoping Yu Ling would win, but I'm happy for Frank. Such a lovely guy!
This feels like watching my childhood flash by before my eyes! It is so special to return to Hogwarts with this cast.
Not a fan of these multi-show crossovers. For those of us that don't necessarily watch all of these shows, and probably not in the broadcast order (ie. ever increasingly on streaming services/outside the US) it is utterly.... utterly confusing to have episodes like this that start before and end after the episode of the show we watch. I mean I know it's trying to get us to watch the other show/s and boost their ratings but it's a brutal way to go about it given the increasingly online (and commercial free) future of "TV" shows.
I don't know what that intro was but I loved it.
A Cop Drama With Nathan Fillion, I started it watching it because of him and honestly its a pretty enjoyable show with an array of characters. Not your usual cop drama, there is the right amount of humor and I'm liking it and I want to see where this goes. Lethal Weapon is based on the comedy and has some dramatic elements. Chicago P.D. is a serious drama and you get invested in every moment, this one comes right inbetween.
I just love how Nathan Fillion plays his character, just brings me back to the Firefly days.
Watch out star wars, the korean are in the space now:thumbsup:.
Good plot with some nice twists :heavy_check_mark:
Great acting :heavy_check_mark:
Decent space CGI:heavy_check_mark:
Terribly boring. Doubt I’ll continue past episode 2. Just uninteresting and not funny.
update: watched the entire series.
still uninteresting, still not funny, the only thing worse than this in the MCU is Captain Marvel
This has been much better than I expected. I never thought a 'Shit-your-pants scene' could be so romantic!
Felt a bit like Star Trek of yore. Just hope it doesn't become annoying with the latest turn of events.
I have almost no idea what happened, but I liked it. Might be my favourite James Bond film.
Starts off a little slow, but soon you get pretty invested in all of the characters. The last 3 episodes had me so stressed out!
STAY OFF THE CUT!!
I think everyone can learn a thing or two from this show...the writing is kinda corny but most of the episodes have me, a twenty one year old, tearing up a bit from the content
i was a little skeptical at the start, cuz they were just saying things we already know, but later the extent of it, GOD! blew my fucking mind
Amazing. This should be shown in schools, airports, etc everywhere.
An interesting and very disturbing documentary on how we are all being manipulated.
