They should have dropped all the unnecessary subplots and drama and made it into a two hour movie
Best theme song of 2016.
Total disappointment! I am just watching it real quick to follow up if it has something to do with the "FBI' and "FBI: Most Wanted".
Otherwise its a waste of time!
Story, acting, characters, "oh here comes the FBI and does everywhere anything they want at a foreign land", really!?
The show is as wrong as it gets!
I'm not ready to pass any judgement on this one...yet, but there's one thing that annoys me to no end with the first couple of episodes. The behavior of this “FBI team” is atrocious. The arrogance is just freaking unbelievable. I really hope, for international law enforcement cooperations sake, that this is just awful writing, and not even just a little like how these teams work in real life. I get that this is fiction, but if I was on one of these teams in real life, I would be really pissed...that's for sure.
I've played LoL on a handful of occasions throughout the years but never enough to be familiar with the world/lore. So I went into this show pretty much blind and with little expectations because of previous games to TV adaptions.
But boy were my expectations completely blown out of the water. Everything in the first three episodes was damn near perfect. Animation. Score/soundtrack. Voice acting. World building. Captivating Story. Interesting Characters. Fucking insane. I cannot wait for the next episodes.
Situations are too forced, acting over the top, jokes are not funny. Too awkward.
Quite possibly one of the most important sci fi sitcoms to date. Really paved the way for stuff like Rick and Morty.
Sometimes I wish I could be this dumb.
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.
Incredible. I went into this blind and was blown away
Amazing Amazing Acting across the board. The plot and characters is so moving and powerful that it reminds me of The Wire. James and Maggie were Fantastic.. there best work ever. Definitely needs more following.
Can't wait for the next season.
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.
This is definitely getting a second season and I'm all up for it. The cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack fits perfectly with its themes. It addresses important topics that should be discussed amongst teenagers in such a natural, easy way.
The whole cast does a great job. I'll never get tired of saying that Asa Butterfield is a fantastic actor and deserves to get more recognition urgently.
i dont know about u guys but asa butterfield AND gillian anderson? ive never been so on-board before
UPDATE: just finished it and MAN you all need to watch this. its a mastery of crushing cliches and good writing!
Pretty much a perfect miniseries. Intriguing characters and overall story with amazing actors, great cinematography and an absolutely fantastic soundtrack.
After Season 2:
I was really worried that this season might be shit but it actually turned out great. It's IMO as good if not better than S1 (although quite a bit less funnier and even more depressing at times) and it provides a lot happier ending for the characters which is nice. It also deals with the psychological aftermath of S1 really well.
But the best thing in the show still was the soundtrack. It somehow got even better than S1.
A beautiful, twisted and bleak story filled with awesome moments, music and cinematography. It shows an alternative love story completely different from all those cliché-dramatic moments overused in Hollywood. Just 3h20min of fun, love and crude humor of two characters that love each other but not the world around them. The ending is beautifully shot, showing the danger and automatic assumption that James is a psychopath. His narration, followed by him running for his short life while being on his birthday is so heartbreaking that made me cry in the last second. A boy that had no feelings, made a choice of love.
A dark and interesting speculation on a wold long past the singularity, where human consciousness can be downloaded and plugged into different bodies (or sleeves). What becomes of humanity in a world with such power and an ever widening gulf between wealth and poverty?
Interesting new start. Stargate fans should like this.
Where is season two, I am Jonesing!!!!
If you are looking for a great show to watch with your kids, this is one to check out. You can never go wrong with a show that features a image of "Bat Boy" in the opening credits.
holy cow I love this show!
Started watching this on Saturday with my wife. went in with no expecations and it blew us away!!
A must see!! Dont see a lot of shows so well written these days.
Finished binge watching the series and wow, what a great series it was! Very true to the original tone of the comics with some great references to the MCU and Netflix Daredevil series. Can't wait to see more of Jess in the Defenders show and hopefully in future upcoming Marvel Netflix series!
An excellent comedy. With the end of Parks and Rec, this and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are my favourite comedies on TV right now.
I shouldn't have watched the entire season in one day but I regret nothing
The Americanized version doesn't compare to the original. Subtitles are totally worth the effort -- well suited for viewing on a mobile device, something about a smaller screen makes the subtitle reading less of a distraction. Excellent!
love this series
Well after seven episodes the show still is very weak. Bad acting, script errors, cheesy dialog. I was expecting so much of this show but a big let down so far. But i have to agree V was much worse.
Season 4 please!
