This show should be cancelled, and erased from memory ! Star Trek should be star trek and not a woke brainwash with bad actors and worse storyline!
Every single episode:
Velma/Teddi: Hey Colter, we got a new one for you. Reward is something of tens of thousands and it's in Generic City.
Colter: Oh, Generic City? It's only 122.30 miles from me and I'll be there in 58min and 29 seconds.
Parent/Spouse/Friend/Offspring: I know Grandma was a hardcore porn addict, but it's not like her to go missing. IT'S NOT LIKE HER.
Local police: Yeah, grandma was bat shit cray cray, no worth looking any further. And get out of my city. And checking John Doe is a waste of time.
Colter: Hey John Doe, where is grandma?
John Doe: I told the cops we were dating, they didn't listen. Must have been something to do with her cock fight betting. Me and granny were in love.
Cock fight Ring Leader: Yeah, bitch owed me a couple grand, so I made her cook me chicken soup until her debt was paid. You'll never find her.
(some 15 mins of Fights, lurking, gun tossing, calls to local police, Reenie, Bobby, Tedi, Velma and Scooby Doo)
Grandma: Who are you?
Colter: Hi, Grandma, your _____ hired me to find you. You're safe now. Let's go.
Grandma: They'll never let me leave.
Colter: Follow my lead as I used to do with my dad when he showed me how to survive in the woods.
Local police: Yeah, it was good working together. You shared a lot about your dad, hope you find out more about him, since the audience hasn't had an update since the 1st episode.
Grandma (at home): Thanks for saving me.
Colter: You should thank the person who was looking for you. (that is by far my favorite lol).
Person who hired him: (slides big fat check with a smile as if all their money isn't gone and they will eat nothing but roaches for about 2 years before recovering financially from that) Thank you so much.
Anybody: hey let's do something together.
Colter: Nah, I don't socialize and need to brood about my dad's death, while I do jack shit to solve it.
It started off okay, apart from the “Klingorcs”. Where the fuck did they come from?
Sadly, it gets worse as the series continues. Star Trek has always tackled social issues, which was great and tried to show us how we as the human race could be. But, fuck me. We must be in a truly awful fucking place if we’re to follow the same logic.
The franchise has always seemed to inspire the more nerdy of us to invent wonderful things such as touch sensitive screens, tablets, mobile phones, WiFi and virtual assistants. The only thing I fear this shit will inspire is the inexplicable and totally unnecessary use of FUCKING WHISPERING.
I can only hope that Discovery does a “Dallas” in the next series (please make it the last) and we find out that all which has gone before was nothing but one of Burnham’s recurrent nightmares, caused by some form of trauma, for which she seeks help from Dr. Culber in 10 weekly appointments.
It's ok, not great not terrible, but holy fuck how we came from Alexandra Daddario to this shit, I don't really understand casting black teen for this specific role, it totally ruins the immersion of this series
The VFX is top notch , but sadly this is a show for kids. So , it has way too much plot armour, predictable storylines and very mature dialogues from little kids.
If you're fine with that , you'll probably like this.
Kind of to my surprise i really enjoyed this. I binged season 1 completely. Ok, its a bit predictable and its nothing really original, but overal it's quite well done. It takes on both racial inequality AND the woke cancel culture bullshit both at once. Great job. Quite refreshing to call out the woke over the top angry screamers, who dont really care about being right, but just screaming the most loud to become right.
Hilary Swank is really carrying this series though. Without her there would be not much there in al fairness. Most of the story line per episode seems to be written by some students doing their first scripts and are having trouble to come up with something totally fresh and new. The underlying storyline over the whole season 1 is decent enough though.
To be able to keep enjoying this show, I literally have to keep skipping the cringe dramatic scenes they have to fill in every 3 minutes, because they don't actually have enough budget to do proper Star Trek episodes. On season 4 currently and it's usually 15-20 minutes per episode that are worth watching.
Ah, The Veil, the show that's like a secret agent with a fake British accent—trying to infiltrate the world of prestige spy thrillers but ending up more like a bumbling intern who accidentally spills coffee on classified documents. Buckle up, my fellow espionage enthusiasts, because we're about to dissect this six-episode rollercoaster of confusion, questionable decisions, and more plot holes than a Swiss cheese factory.
Picture this: The Veil is the lovechild of James Bond and Carmen Sandiego, conceived during a high-stakes poker game in a dimly lit Parisian alley. It's got all the ingredients for a gripping spy thriller: shadowy organizations, double agents, and enough secrets to fill the Library of Congress. But alas, it stumbles like a tipsy MI6 agent trying to chase down a villain on cobblestone streets.
Our heroines, Imogen and Adilah, are on the run. They're like Jason Bourne and Lara Croft, minus the cool gadgets and charisma. The show's premise? Well, it's as clear as a foggy London morning. Something about a mysterious veil (hence the title) that grants superpowers or maybe just a killer skincare routine. Honestly, I lost track.
The finale, titled "The Cottage," promised answers. Instead, it delivered more questions than a pop quiz in a foreign language. Imogen and Adilah—our dynamic duo—stumble upon a cottage (because where else would you hide from international assassins?). And there, they confront their fate. Spoiler alert: Fate wears a trench coat and speaks in riddles.
Let's meet the cast, shall we?
Max: The token American. He's like a walking stereotype—loud, obnoxious, and probably owns a "Freedom Fries" T-shirt. Max's heroic ending? A bullet wound that's less threatening than a paper cut. But hey, at least he didn't spill his Big Gulp on the secret plans.
Malik: The suave Frenchman. He's the kind of guy who sips wine while defusing bombs. His patience with Max deserves a Nobel Prize. Also, he's in love with Imogen, who's too busy interrogating Michael (another spy) to notice. Talk about a complicated love triangle.
Michael: The enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a man-bun. His British accent? About as authentic as a Buckingham Palace guard breakdancing. But hey, he's got secrets, and secrets are currency in the spy world. Also, he's the reason Imogen's throat remains unslashed. Thanks, Michael.
Remember those moments when characters just stood around, staring into the abyss? Yeah, The Veil has more of those than a meditation retreat. The dialogue? Sparse. The action? Scarcer. It's like watching a chess match where the pieces refuse to move. Maybe they're waiting for a plot twist to checkmate them.
The Veil had potential—the kind that makes you lean forward, spill your popcorn, and whisper, "What's happening?" But alas, it squandered it faster than a lottery winner at a casino. Elisabeth Moss's fake British accent? Let's just say it's faker than a knockoff Rolex sold by a guy named Vinnie in a back alley.
So, my dear viewers, skip The Veil. Instead, rewatch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or binge-watch Alias. Or better yet, become a spy yourself. At least then you'll have a valid excuse for lurking in dark corners and wearing sunglasses indoors. Remember, the real veil is the one that hides the remote control when you're searching for it during a thrilling finale.
And with that, I vanish into the shadows, leaving you with this parting advice: If life hands you a veil, make sure it's not just a fancy curtain. :dark_sunglasses::mag:
Could have been good but isn't. They need to get rid of the "odd couple" or the "let me Google that for you" service, and the obligatory "hacker" is possibly the worst in TV history.
this better not end up being another "Ascension"
Edit: well it didn't end up being another "Ascension"
The effects are really bad and cheap but it is so faithful to the book they don't matter at all.
I am watching the first episode, and while I am liking the story so far and the premise. The constant jumps in time are annoying. It's been an awful trend.
The fort episode has already jumped between times (1973, 2012. 2015 and 1959) in the first 12min
BRING BACK ALEC HARDISON, his "sister" is simply horrible and extremely annoying, not forgetting she can't act.
Meh, I've got to say more than five words, but "meh" pretty much sums it up. It's set in Hawaii, so it's pretty to look at, and there's enough going on to want to finish it, but it's not beyond just being watchable.
It Was All Going Well. Untill, Logan Gets Snapped ugghh.. Expected Better Ending Plot..:pensive:
Great show. It has a bit of a sad atmosphere, because Mary has a lot of interaction with terminally ill patients. But if you can get around that, the story is quite good and compelling. There are 3 seasons and it brings everything to a close.
In some ways it reminds me of Dexter, in some ways of Good Behaviour.
Recommended to (binge) watch.
Episode 1 was good then it got very stupid and dumb , the script went directly downhill sooo many incoherent stuff and decisions along the way.
This could have end in 3 episodes, just shoot him!
Season 1 was good. But the director/writer in season 1. Only did 1 episode in season 2. That explains the 2nd season sucking. The story is all over the place. To many characters to care what the heck is going on. They went cheaper/less CGI on season 2 as well. That was a strong point in season 1. I am not even gonna bother finishing this season.
It is what it is. It started good, and ended bad. Blend some stupidity, with some comedy, a little bit of nonsense, with a dash of action, a good character here, a terrible one there. Some ridiculous storytelling, and some crossovers from time to time, stir it well, and you have Legends of Tomorrow.
I've enjoyed this series a lot, each season has its own distinct set, characters and a small set of main issues. Season 5 was a bit less good, season 6 was omg dreadful. It was slow and nearly painful to get through season 6. And then came....... season 7. In 1 word: WOW. Loved it. They totally aced that season. Ok, the tiny plothole still occurred here and there, but at least its not a total insult to everyone's intelligence (compared to for example the utterly retardedness in Blindspot). Season 6 was a good basis for the events in season 7, so you cannot really skip season 6 altogether, but I postponed getting into season 7 as I was not expecting a huge improvement over the endless drama of the previous season. Praise the Lord, my expectations were too low :-)
The second season is an improvement from the first. Watched the finale without knowing it's the finale and I was shocked to find myself wishing there were 13 episodes like all the other Marvel shows. Funny it gets cancelled just when I started to enjoy it. Meh. Can't say I'm too mad, though. But good season. I liked it a lot.
I was a bit worried about yet another woke crap series - but..... aside one totally racist "I am not having this conversation with a white guy" remark, this is actually how things should be: just a really good series! there is a high Tom Clancy / Jack Ryan vibe to it.
Not sure why Morgan Freeman is on the poster here on Trakt, he's nowhere in the series. At least not in the first 6 episodes. Completely binged this....
The show has some ups and downs. First season I was wondering is this drama or parody. Second seasons start like first, but in the middle goes really good. Third seasons for me was the best. Fourth season is worst, six slow episodes with almost nothing happening and then they finish it in the last two. I did not like the final. The show started with Barry and Monroe. I was expecting the final to be about them. In my opinion it is not. I am ok with Sally story, but the other characters final was stupid.
At least there is an ending to the series. But there are too many parallels to Dexter.
What a disappointing last season. What a predictable and terrible crap ending. At least the final scenes of the fake-movie are added that give things a somewhat nice ending.
But after the great and inventive writing of the first seasons, this is all just one big disappointment.m
My favorite Marvel show so far. It was actually fun, and it delivered to what it set out to be, a fun Christmas show.
Overall the Good Place is a decent show with some ups and downs. It has some cringey moment but then some moments that are heartwarming to. In my opinion the 2md season was a struggle to get through but it is well worth doing to get to the much better 3rd and 4th seasons. I think the four main characters worked well together and I was very attached by the end of this pretty well written show.
It’s okay!!!
The effects are good and well done, the acting is okay and passable.
The best way to describe it is its full of cheese and it knows it, it even plays into it!!!!!
It’s a switch off, sink into the sofa and be entertained tv show, just don’t expect things to make sense or be award worthy.
Just enjoy!!!!!!
So far it’s entertaining show, let’s see how rest of the season goes. But one thing, casting is really terrible & so random. Jaz is half back & half Asian while her brother is full on Asian, Gareth walks into the bathroom with an Indian baby, every race include, etc. I get DE&I and all but don’t do it at the expense of making it look like you throw a bunch of rando’s in the show. It totally throws off the show.
Got cancelled :(
Such a shame, yet Anger Management is still on
I started watching Harry's Law expecting another law procedural, but the first season totally took me by surprise. It was unique, funny, and more of an evolving story than a separate-episode procedural. Harry's Law set the bar pretty high in its first season. The unexpected mix of law firm + shoe store, the ghetto neighborhood, the balance between jokes and serious situations, was quirky and fun and quite honestly really awesome to watch.
Then season 2 came and all went to the garbage bin. Harry's Law became more like Boston Legal part 2, the fun and unique moments reduced to a strict minimum to entertain the viewership. The ghetto aspect was gone, the shoe store almost a gimmick because they couldn't just cut it, and aside from the pageant episode that had me LMAO'ing to the top of my lungs, it had lost its unique charm that had made me fall in love with it.
Is season 2 good? Yes, very. But not even close to the awesomeness of season 1, which is why this show got axed. It just didn't live up to its stellar debut and that's such a loss because there was a lot of material to explore, had the show stuck to it roots.
However, I'm now very very much a fan of Nathan Corddry and Kathy Bates, and I believe Harry's Law was worth watching if only to discover these two actors that I hadn't seen extensively before, and to understand what an original law series could bring to the table vs other traditional procedurals.
