What the hell are you guys talking about? The show is a great time. It's not taking itself too seriously and it's poking fun at all the horror movie cliches. Good job Ryan Murphy. You've done it again!
Trakt doesn't allow emojis in comments, but If it were, my comment would be somerhing like: The soundtrack in this show is fire emoji fire emoji fire emoji.
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.
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.
"The price is on the can, though."
A conversation between two people who understand their roles (i.e., customer and cashier), but don't understand the world they live in... now that's a statement!
This show's saying things most are scared of saying but need to hear... let's have conversations about the difficult stuff guys. But most importantly let's laugh about it.
Oh--and the premise for this episode? Creative, a little heavy-handed at times, but ultimately really fun to watch.
A great episode. The twilight zone has always been about hot political topics so if you have problems with that then why are you even watching it. This show was and is about problems with society.
The entire time I watched this episode, all I could think about was how is this guy still alive with all the stupid things he does?
If you have read the book, the movie was shit compared to the book. If you compare tv show to the book, it's shit again. Approach this as something new, dont compare it to the book. It has a potential, lets see how well it goes.
White conservatives will hate it but this episode is true to the spirit of the original series. Tense with a message relevant to our times.
While viewers and critics will tell you that Partners failed to gain any traction, rode out on clichés, over-acting, silly premises, and an utter lack of smart writing, it's these things that I loved in Partners. I felt that it took gay clichés and ran with them, it drew a lot on traditional verbal comedy, there was a lot of over the top gesturing from Urie and Krumholtz, but all of it came together in each episode to make me genuinely laugh.
Somehow, the craziness fit together, and it worked for me. It's too bad that it didn't work for others, and Partners ended up being cancelled a few episodes in, with no one understanding that it was Partners' goal from the beginning to be over-the-top, to be clichéd. It wasn't trying to change stereotypes, or to reinvent the wheel, or to be the gay/straight equivalent of Psych, or... It was just trying to be funny, and if you let it be, you'd discover that it was.
Such a great show! I was not expecting it to be nearly as good, but it totally consumed me until I finished it. I see some people saying that the show moved too slowly and was boring, but to me personally, it was the complete opposite. I found the show very enjoyable and I was interested in every minute of it. I also really loved that not everything was revealed right off the bat, although the plot was a little predictable it sure as hell is worth a watch. I hope we get a second season, I'm really looking forward to it!
I forgot to mention Number Five, he steals every god damn scene he is in, it's incredible.
A second edit, I hate myself for forgetting to add this the first time around, but the music... holy hell the music was PERFECT.
This show is very '90s Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Ash vs Evil Dead with a touch of Todd vs the book of evil
“Like watching an Original Co-Directed and Co-Written Tarantino and the Coen brothers Script and Movie which has been well stirred and shook up, while Flying High on LSD”. This is My Very Best Effort describing how I feel after watching any episode of "Preacher".
I knew (and still know) nothing about the comic that inspires the TvSeries. And although I cannot follow (i.e. understand) every scene, I actually do enjoy every single one as they go from hilarious to oppressing and claustrophobic, passing through an extreme surrealism with a few drops of black humor as great as the Gaelic Single Malt from where they come. Moreover, to top it off, everything takes place in a village located in oblivion where nothing is supposed to happen ever.
There seems to be a reason behind everything, but it's beyond human comprehension, or at least mine. But as you already may know it's the trip what matters, not the destination, so enjoy the ride while it last... :-)
NOTE: Not Apt for Audiences Needing Pre-Digested, Repackaged TvShows (i.e. Walking Dead!)
The problem with an anthology series like this one, especially with a pedigree like The Twilight Zone, an amazing episode can always be right around the corner, so I'm compelled to keep watching. Yet, this iteration has yet to deliver.
Great episode very much in line with the original series! I’m excited to see what else is too come. I feel like people are misremembering the original show because this was very similar to most twilight zone episodes and it was great.
Demons, portals, camera monsters, blood, guts, resurrections, one-liners, shotguns, NUKES, ROCKETS, ROBOTS, TANKS, A-10 Warthogs!!! inhales...
Love the call-back ending to Army of Darkness, and the 4th wall breaking, self-awareness from Bruce, "I didn't ask for this! You think I want this horse shit? Be covered in blood twenty four-seven? Who the fuck would want that?!"
This episode and the whole series could not be better! Thank you, Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, for 37 years of memories. Hail to the King, baby!
It Ain't That bad as they say...watched first two episodes,its funny,beautiful locations,good pacing....,i think the low ratings is bcos of lost fans,obvioulsy u can see its a spoof of lost series in a funny way..good show..,i would recommend it to any one who like comedy series with a different setup...,
The conclusion wasn't entirely satisfying for me but I really enjoyed the suspense and the build up to that moment.
I thought I fall asleep and dreamed watching the episode... But nope, there were fucking aliens at the end
'i've just turned 18. i think i understand what people mean to each other.'
That moment you hear the intro to Aha's - Take on Me and sit up straight thinking "Are they gonna..." and then (after the small scene where you think they drop it)... it happens in all it's GLORY.
This show... :')
PS Hollywood, just ask Bruce Campbell for that newly announced Duke Nukem movie!
Netflix, take over please! This was an absolutely fun show.
This show is insane. Always good for at least one jaw dropping scene.
Ash fathered a child, even using his lucky condom. Priceless, I hope this series never ends.
Herr Starr coming off as every bit of the badass he is in the comic. Pip Torrens is amazing in this role!
A classic. Maybe it was too ahead of its time for some people.
I'm glad that there was more action as far as Swamp Thing is concerned. Even though I don't have a problem with the slowness of each episode because they're still entertaining to watch, the action makes them a whole lot more entertaining.
This episode did at the very least properly convey one thing — the "duration to arrival" for the Bradbury Heavy mission was just over 230 days and we were made to endure every painfully boring minute of that.
Easter eggs this episode include:
Bradbury Heavy — a tribute to the highly acclaimed science fiction writer and author of The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury.
Whipple Aeronautics — a reference to Wallace V. Whipple from the TOS episode The Brain Center at Whipple's.
T.I.N.A. — that's Talky Tina of course from Living Doll. "My name is Talky Tina...and you'd better be nice to me!"
