I went into this with no expectations but what I found was a well crafted, complex and compelling thriller. The writing is intelligent. The story is intricate and unexpectedly human. The performances are multifaceted. The locations are beautiful. I really enjoyed this series. I give this series a 9 (superb) out of 10.
8/10.
Surreal as Benedict Cumberbatch’s acting is, in “Eric”, the gritty atmosphere of New York City in the 1980s is masterfully captured. Although lengthy, this show is a real gem because it interrogates deep themes.
It's really boring, plot moves at a glacial pace with a lot of filler in every single episode. I watched 5 episodes, and don't really care who did it at this point.
The script of course is good - as is most everything else except for Owen and the cheesy saxophone score. It’s unfortunate that so many modern film noirs are caricatures of the old films.
As for Clivey-boy, I’ve suspected that he’s not a very good actor and this show has confirmed it. He delivers Spade’s one liners in a clumsy unnatural fashion. Fortunately he’s not as horrible as Liam.
Lovely series.....fresh story line... Watch
I watched this remake with zero exepectations and it suprised me, as i watched the original 2 times in full i always missed the diversity there, but this cast is amazing and breaks the number one criticism of the original one. They kept some of the dinamics from the first episode of the original show and it feels like another series but fresh, i really want to see where they are going with this, the first 8 episodes were good and got me interest on the other characters, but the fist episode was execptional, the sense of community it had it made me cry.
Already know I'm gonna love this. Weird strange shows like this always gets a thumbs up from me.
Tried the first episode. Thought it was over acted and not funny. Very shallow. None of the characters were likeable. All everyone seemed to do is shout at each other. Won't be checking out the rest.
I call this show "Little Cliché on the Prairie" (though it's not in any prairie).
The pace and the setting are great. I just wish the writers were less obvious and more original.
I'm a simple woman, I see Matthew Goode, I watch.
While I'm not mesmerized by the story it holds my interest enough to keep watching. I kinda wished I waited until the series was done & binge it.
I miss the day of firefly. ..This was very nicely done , love the chemistry .great show
not bad but not brilliant either. tonally i don't think it works that well and there's no one to really root for.
Another great show people rated bad here before they even saw it... There's some Legends of Tomorrow similarities where it's about chasing a bad guy through time.
However, I'm hooked anyway due to good cast and performances. The show is fun as well.
very enjoyable show, i would love to see a second season!
the acting was decent, so kudos to each actor in portraying their character. characters that were flawed; they made as many stupid decisions as they made good ones.
but honestly, i loved that this show was more character driven than action driven + the backstories really added depth to each of the characters. i started out disliking all of them and ended up caring for everyone. A+ in that aspect.
the CGI was surprisingly well done and despite it only being 8 episodes, the story did not feel rushed.
definitely worthy of being on netflix tyvm. also this is the first danish tv show i've truly enjoyed watching. well done denmark<3
I have to say I enjoy this one...
I was kinda "iffy" on The Brave after the first couple of episodes, but the series has come nicely together. Great characthers and a no-nonsense approach to the action. This is probably one of the best of the new series this fall.
Bold... A show to keep an eye on.
The show honestly turned out to be much better then I expected with characters making for a unique team and the stories coming together nicely with a different location each time.
I like the feel of it, keep you on edge and the idea behind it. And I especially like the actors in their roles, they are a good fit for it.
They should just cut every scene with this worst ever character dr. smith!
It has a big emphasis on family drama. If you're into that you'll probably enjoy it, but honestly I think it doesn't come anywhere close to the likes of Expanse.
