Good acting, it is a shame they went with the Scooby Doo writers guild. They had so many options for the writers to do more than making just another cop show. Zombies, crime writers, cops from the future, people with amnesia all fighting crime. Seems that the only professions that exist in TV land are cop, cop sidekick, doctor or lawyer.
Season 1 was very entertaining, a strong element of surprise with plot-twists throughout. Season 2 it all went to crap. Season 3 has that looming 'cancellation' feel. The episodes play on, but don't hold my attention like season 1. Many of the characters I'm not all that familiar with, and I don't care. Once great, now junk :-(
They should've made it a 1-season limited-event show, with a resolution but still open enough to allow future limited-event seasons.
Loved it in the beginning. Being on the CW I was ready to insta-hate it, but was surprised ep after ep that I was entertained. No, the acting is far from superb, but the storyline is actually pretty interesting.
It's definitely gotten worse though. The first season I was really into. Marathoned it. The second was okay; one episode--where they introduce Barry--was really super corny & cliche. This current [third] season was getting pretty good but then they started this theme of introducing a new villain at the end of each ep along with a really cheesy catch phrase. Terrible. So hopefully they stop that and bring it back to goodness. Cuz that would be good.
Intelligent, twisting, gripping, well written and well acted. Definitely worth a watch. Netflix gives you options - mine was the original German with English subtitles. That’s my recommendation.
I just absolutely, completely loved this! I started watching this with very low expectations and I think I've always been put off by the title "war and peace" to be honest. It makes it sound so flat and boring but this really was anything but boring! Great story, great acting, great characters, great everything.
I'm off to read the book now because I have to have more of this.
Exceptional. A feel good show. Every episode is self contained and has a good message for the kids. Happy endings guaranteed. Characters are really fleshed out and vivid. Especially the side characters. Loved it.
this is a funny, well written thought out, kids cartoon thats underrated and I wish was talk about more, the charactes are more realistic and there are good lessons being taught that are also more realistic, I love this show
The quality of this show surpassed all my expectations, practically blew it out of the water. Phenomenal actors with a great story and deeply thrilling story line. Hugh Laurie takes his role to another level, perfecting the role of the genius arms dealer. And Tom Hiddleston is not just the powerful Loki of Asgard but a multi talented actor pulling off a fantastic role in this how. You get pulled into a very complex story, and it feels like a Bond movie but with more complexity and I enjoyed every moment of it.
This quality of work is a rare find for this type of production and should not be missed. I really do hope that there will be a follow up with the same crew of people who put this amazing show together.
Overly convoluted with characters that are difficult to keep track of and very little by way of payoff at the end of the season.
Always a fan of good US political drama. Saddly this is just not clever enough. Predictable and clichéd. Trying to throw in action to keep the story growing and the background conspiracy is just that, in the background. Poor character development as few, including Sutherland, seem to get much in the way of plot or screentime. I will give it a little longer but never going to compare with the West Wing or Veep. Consider Madam Secretary instead...
So have finally got round to completing the show. Great premise, storyline was all over the place and tried to make itself clever whilst dumbing itself down at the same time. A real wasted opportunity which needed a better approach behind the scenes. US politics is primed for a decent show at the moment and this is not it...
After 3 episodes, the jury is still out. It's watchable, but I feel it might get stale very quickly. I'll definitely find out.....
It's a regular CW drama, however:
(1) The aesthetics are AMAZING, it's really pretty. Prettier than most shows out there. The photography, the wardrobe and scenary and all of it. 10/10 aesthetics.
(2) The characters are appealing and captivating.
(3) The show has a great tone on some subjects like feminism and homophobia, etc.
(4) It's fairly well developed - it seems a little silly at the beggining but it gets better and better.
(5) I liked it 'cause it's entertaining and I'm hooked.
First episode was a little slow and confusing, there's a lot of characters and setting up the plot, should be easier for someone familiar with the work. After each episode it just keeps getting better, after the show completes I would have to rate the entirety very high. It comes full circle and covers all types of aspects of love, betrayel, and war. Top notch acting by the entire cast and some of the most beautiful shots. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a deep show and willing to push past the first episode.
This must be the weakest devil portrayal ever. and so boring.
Only problem is Irene Adler's portrayal and their treatment of her story.
This is one of the best series I've ever watched! Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) make a great team on the screen. The episodes are more like short movies (1,5 h) and even though there are only 3 episodes per season and about one seaon in 1,5 years, Sherlock is definitely worth the wait and worth watching!
Amazing show. I was wondering what the fuss is all about until I started watching it, then I just couldn't stop.
I think the casting for Darcy & Lizzie is what threw me off and didn't make me enjoy this as much as I would've liked to. It didn't feel like Pride & Prejudice at all.
OMG this writing on this show is superb best story telling in a long time to come along. It will make you laugh and cry and that was only the first episode. I am not even going to spoil this because you have to watch the story and you will be amazed how this story is told.
Storywise it is not the greatest thing, but damn the martial arts scenes are incredibly well done and make up for it! If you like the fighting genre (IP Man) you will definitly enjoy this, otherwise you should probably skip this.
Daniel Wu and the Barons are of interest, the other characters are shallow imo

You shouldn't watch the two (maybe 3) last season, it kind of ruins everything. But the begining of the show is great
Full Season of 7 shows starts in the UK on the 18th June 2011
