Was kind of skeptic after the first episode but gave it another try and watched the remaining two episodes that was available but that's where it ends. This kind of strained jokes and below the belt humor with a twist of slapstick doesn't work at all with the crime genre. At least not when it's served like this..
Think it would have worked better if they had focused more on the crime part and toned down the the "comedy" part.
This episode was a total bore compared to the first one, a long yawn.
The only episode (so far?) this season that holds the same standard as the ones in the first.
If you like the tv series Dag you'll enjoy this.
Not as bad as I was afraid it would be, especially since it's staring both Leslie Jones and Melissa McCarthy.
Still a pointless remake though.
Not a fan of the nonlinear way they tell this story. Have loved the previous two seasons but this one is of to a slow start.
Like a very long and very boring episode of Girls.
An extra star for Kristen Bell. How the .... did this mess get so high grades?
Almost done with season seven but think this is it for me. In this season (and maybe all of the previous ones but I really didn't notice?) every episode have followed the exact same format and it's getting boring.
A short sequence where someone is found dead, queue opening music, the main characters is doing something silly, they get noticed about the dead body, they follow leads that get them nowhere while the Commissioner and the two Officers has a separate "funny" byline, they round up all the suspects at a café and all of sudden reveals evidence and stuff in a timeline that you as a bystander has no way in figuring out.
So bye, bye.
So I gave it a chance and the first episode surprised me in a positive way. But when they with the minimal amount of keystrokes that would make even the guys on CSI jealous found the killer by tracing the Bluetooth sensors in the wheels of his car in the second episode I gave up on this being a good cop show. Will watch a few more because of Alba to see if it gets any better. Strongly doubt it though...
The kind of movie you've forgotten all about as soon as the end credits start to roll...
Theron is good though and saves it from a lower grade.
Not much have change from the last F&F movie I saw, that was made very clear already in the very first scene.
Lost interest after 10 minutes and picked up my phone only to watch when I heard the voice of Nathalie Emmanuel.
And the scene where the u-boat exploded in a sea of fire and they drove the cars around Vin to protect him from the fire.. Come on..
And then there's the bottomless pit of cheesy one-liners...
People actually pay money to see this?
Only three episodes in and I have no problem with it being slow as a lot if other seem to have. But theese endless Jackie Chan kung-fu fights get really boring really fast. Just kick/punch the guy in the face and move on...
Wasn't of to a good start with some very hard to like characters, gained some momentum in episode 3/4-isch and went straight back to the cruise speed it set in the beginning.
On episode seven now and have no idea what this thing want to say, it's starting to look more and more like a Dogme 95 movie and that's not meant as a compliment.
Three episodes in and they just killed the only reason to continue watching after the two first train wreck episodes.
Can't blame the actors cause they just follow the director that have to do his job with a manuscript made by what have to be a 14 year old kid, it's ridiculous! No place for the viewer to draw its own conclusions, every single thing that is depicted on the screen is written on the viewers nose.
This has the potential to be a decent show but with this manuscript it's day time mediocre.
If they had manage to do this with the same actors as in the White Queen it would have been a lot better (I guess). Not just because it would have been easier to jump into but also because they wasn't half as bad as this lot. It probably has to do with the script too but three episodes in I have no relation to any of the characters and they all feel rather 'bleh'...
What was this piece of crap even about? To call it a comedy is more than far fetched...
An improvement from the first season but the last 3-4 episodes was just a three hour long kung-fu movie with a Daredevil talking with a more and more "mysterious" and fake deep voice for every scene that flies by. Can't say I'm looking forward to the next season. Especially since I know it's the one that got it cancelled...
"Det här kommer Håkan få fan för..."
Best scene ever in an adventskalender!
Nope...
Very close to an even lower grade thanks to the last 15 minutes.
On the plus side it makes me extremely glad to be working in Sweden with this kind of stuff if this movie for real reflects how this kind of work is done in the US.
I added this to TMDB and then TheTVDB just so I could import it here to set a rating and comment on how terrible this thing is.
I can't imagine how they managed to get funding for this, Or I can, the Swedish movie/TV/producers guild is just one big happy family and this production has some connections.
This is as best an over funded exams job/hobby project that somehow got picked up, and paid for, by Swedish state TV.
The script is at its highs at the level expected from a novel written by a teenager.
The story has a very confusing beginning and a lack of information.
They wake up, and without stating any kind of relationship with each other or asking any questions they watch a message on a TV and form teams against/for following it and making the ones on the opposite side their mortal enemies. Three seconds later one side appears brainwashed and form a cult that worships the TV and dress in gray sweatsuits (where did they even find them?).
The two semi known actresses that's in this has to been doing someone a big favor for getting involved in this considering the subpar script and dialogue. Like helping out the directors with an exams job or something.
You figure out the plot/twist in five minutes, what every character is going to do for getting there in fifteen and five minutes in to the second episode you know how the remaining four episodes more or less will play out.
So don't waste your time, it's enough that one of us did.
Nah, this one didn't fly. Might have to do with that everyone sounds like evil nazis from an old Mel Brooks film. :D
That and that the story is kind of unclear and that it tries to cram a whole Star Wars movie into 15 minutes whereas five of them is a light saber fight.
The story is incredibly predictable and kind of boring so I don't see it winning the Oscar for best picture. Instead it should get two Oscars for best cinematography cause wow, just wow. It's a pure pleasure to watch and could as well been a silent movie as far as I care.
First time I've ever seen CGI tears, or at least noticed that they wasn't real, the vomit scene was also a class act of poorly made CGI and the scene itself was completely unnecessary and kind of took the movie to an OK one (6) to a not so OK one (4) since it went downhill from there.
Liked Geraldine Viswanathan, so gonna have to take a look at what else she has done.
First season finale where I immediately didn't feel the need for a new episode. Weakest finale of the weakest season.
In the sixth episode the characters, and story, walked away from me and I lost the connection with both of them.
Norton is a decent actor in other productions but here he never manage to build his character to someone you either like or dislike or is able to bond to in any way, he just is. And that's a problem when you have the lead role. The cast in all is interesting and performs well and I think I would've been able to really like this show but without a proper lead character it all falls flat.
Wow.....
Amateur hour got funding?
Only managed to watch half of the first episode.
It starts with every character gets the buildup as a suspect, bam bam bam, without any finesse at all. Then follows the "burglary in the medics office where a truckload of sedatives were stolen but I didn't report it, because "Meh"-part and I just laughed out loud and turned it off.
Sventon and Vessla as portrayed by Helge Skoog and Johan Ulvesson are unbeatable and even the first cast from -72 are better than in this one.
Glans is OK but Robert Gustafsson is recycling the same five characters he has been using since he was done with Percy Tårar in -96 and they stopped being funny 20 years ago.
Positively surprised by the kids though, probably have a bright future if they choose to take that path.
The show was OK to kill a couple of hours with, fun story that they manage to tell without hiccups, nice camera work and set, probably a high budget for a Swedish production.
It was under a spoon!
Love Kramer in this one.
It seldom work when they change the lead actor in a show and this was sadly no exception. Nothing wrong with Saschas performance, except that she fails the dialect, but it just feels wrong. First story and two episodes was enough.
