This show is amazing! I can't believe i've missed it all these years until trakt came along.
I love how Doctor House always talks sarcastically against his team and how he always plays pranks on the people he cares about. He is brilliant doctor in how he always finds an answer to problems other doctors cannot analyze.
Over the seasons we see more and more of the characters and get to know the people behind the white doctor clothes. Every one of them has their own story to tell that in the end makes them as real as anyone who watches this show.
Absolutely brilliant job of modernizing characters created 30 years ago. Superb story, well-written, big budget, and once you get past the first episode, nail-biting suspense. Tom Clancy's stories have always been superb, and politically ahead of times, and it's nice to see the heart of his stories and political insights persisting here. I love this show, because it really feels like a Tom Clancy story, and really I hate having to wait a year to get the next installment!
To really appreciate the awesomeness of this series, pick up some Jack Ryan Tom Clancy novels - start with "The Hunt for Red October".
Now let's give Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt some TV love :)
Otherwise, fun to see reviews from people who've never picked up a book...
stunningly good series. It's a totally new interpretation of Jack Ryan and his road to fame within the CIA, loosely based on the original novels and unrelated to any movie or whatever. I enjoyed season 1 a lot. It's graphical and definitely worth a R rating for all that can lead to it. Looking forward to season 2 and 3 (season 3 has already been confirmed before season 2 finished shooting)
Season 3 was great but the show takes a nose dive after episode 7...too much focus on mental health. Not really sure what that has to do with the show...ruined the season with the side story line which became the main focus of the show. I don’t know why the writers feel this type of direction is good.
if it has the first name as star trek it means great, as an 38 year age man I will not see more of space SyFi, cause the time is not with us, it would please me to watch this type of TV shows in my time line, I hope to the humanity to reach the potential of peace and explore the space.

When I first started watching this I thought yeah it's ok but the more and more episodes I've gone through the better it has got. top stuff.
Say what the hell you want. This A-Capella show is one helluva entertaining show. Glad they resurrected it. Awesomeness all around.
I have always liked Patricks acting and his voice. Working on stage produced amazing ability to project his voice. However, as it does for all - age is catching up and I feel that has changed him allot but still great to watch. Just wonder does anyone else recognize this?
I sat through the first three episodes on pure adrenaline. I mean... Picard is back! The following three episodes I sat through of out loyalty. And now from the seventh episode and forward I just sit with big smile on my face with so much love for this show.
THE GOOD DOCTOR is back for its third season and all we like about it is still there: Shaun Murphy is still figuring out how to handle the "out of his control" aspects of his life; a great cast is still giving great performances; there are episodic medical dilemmas and season long character arcs. My rating remains unchanged, I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10. [Medical Drama]
Stop watching this show, it is racist two references tonight on this show against whites and I am offended. If white people said what the blacks say in this show the blacks would be up in arms. Stop the racism on shows !!!!!!
This show did a very, very good job at evenly depicting character progression. From Jack Ryan himself, to the antagonist and his family, to someone even as simple as the drone pilot. Well developed, written and portrayed storyline. Easy to watch, hard to stop.
Why even write something about it?
Those who hate it, too, will probably agree, those who like it may call me a disgruntled Trekkie. What the heck, I've been called worse.
I've endured the Abramsverse, Discovery, and Picard but this is where Star Trek dies.
Best sports documentary series in my lifetime. Must see if you're into sports and docs. Even episodes I have no interest in the topic are entertaining. Good behind the scenes insight.
January 23, 2020 simply can not get here soon enough! :)
I was waiting for the grand ending where Otis and Maeve end up together, fuck you wheelchair guy. Fuck your life
I found this show compelling yet challenging. It isn’t an easy watch and often has me feeling crap after watching an episode. So why do I keep watching? This is a question I haven’t been able to answer.
Season one is well written, however it took me most of it to realise it wasn’t going to get to end happily.
Season two opened the world up a bit more but leant heavily into how futile the struggle was. Despair would find a new depth with each episode.
Season three has a greater sense of optimism however, after watching the previous two seasons I feel like I should know better than to hope for a truly positive outcome. Time will tell.
Could this be the new "House"
Interesting premise but how were they supposed to recreate civilization with 6 individuals ? They would not have had enough genetic diversity
Being a fan of TNG and in particular to the stoic Captain of that ship, I was very hesitant to watch this show. Added in it was being done by CBS which has had a long track of duds, I finally had to check it out. 4 episodes in and bingeing the rest, it’s wonderful. Patrick Stewart shines his talents, the storylines are thus far captivating and the graphics are splendid. Added in just enough touching upon of history of Picard to make one smile, yet not enough to rule out any new watcher of the Star Trek world, Picard is a win.
This was obviously done by people that really hate Star Trek, this show is atrocious and the sad part is that they could have done a fine job because the aesthetics is fine, the writing on the other hand is horrible, they could have done a whole series in the TNG universe and we would have love it, instead we get this lame attempt at humor, you know that kind that really piss you off.
The characters are filled with your expected trope, the rebel girl that insult all regulations but that in the end somehow saves the day, therefore reinforcing the message that you have to break the rules always and not only you don't face the consequences but you actually solve the problem! The comedy relief that of course is the one that wants to follow the rules of starfleet and instead becomes the target of all the insults and fails at everything.
Then comes the "class warfare" the elite on the bridge vs all those poor people in the lower decks, and of course the ones in the bridge never solve anything making them useless, but additional to that are bad people because never acknowledged the work of the "poor" in the lower decks. Do I need to go on?
The message of optimism in Star Trek are a thing of the past, now everything is dark, unfunny and with class hate. Btw all dumb characters are white and male and all smart and witty are female and of any other color than white, very subtle there guys, very subtle.
Guess they have a villain that looks like Trump! BTW I'm not even american and I'm already tired of that crap wish I could vote Trump just out of spite. Fuck off with this garbage.
Just when you thought CBS couldn't make any worse Trek, they vomit out this garbage. Not a funny thing in it and the animation is appalling. Roddenberry must be spinning in his grave at warp 9.
For fucks sake. This series is a godamn dream and they've touched on everything alright. This series is so immersive that when the crew won their Oscars, I felt my heart bursting with joy. My, my what a plot. What a cast. Absolutely gorgeous. Also love, how there is loads of queer representation here. Everyone's gay but that's not what you're gonna stay for. It's the chemistry and the actors and how godamn awesome this series is. 100% recommend.
This has a great premise and the possibility of being a great show, but if the Brits were doing it they'd make it spectacular and in 8 episodes or less. This is a typical American "how-can-we-drag-a-short-story-into-5-season-before-killing-it-unexpectedly” show waiting to happen. I want to love it, but it just drags on and on. 6/10
Update - someone put a bullet in the back of it's head... about 4 episodes too late. Painfull to watch the further along it went.
Season 1 - Quality action adventure from Amazon Prime. Well written. Tight tension. Great international feel. Good performances (John Krasinski is a good dramatic actor). Great chemistry between Jack and Cathy. More nudity than I expected, sometimes gratuitous/salacious. The interplay between Jack and Greer made a great buddy pairing. I give this season an 8 (great) out of 10.
Season 2 - Eveything just fell below the standard set by the first season. The plot was fragmented. The story didn't rise to thrilling (except, maybe, the London segment). The multiple story lines watered down the action. There were too many leaps of credibility. I give the second season a 6.5 (not good enough) out of 10. Fortunately, the seasons do not depend on each other, just as some shows are "crime of the week", this is "espionage of the season". Each has its own story arc that stands alone. Even though this season fell flat for me, there is always the next one. [Action Adventure Spy/Terrorist Thriller]
I just finished watching the first season a little while ago. And despite the fact that my ratings on every episode weren't all 10/10, I'll give the show itself a 10/10. Plus, I have no doubt that the second season will be even better than the first.
Who would have thought that a show I knew nothing about would be so entertaining, full of properly made and timely political and cultural exploration and accurate portrayal of most if not all of its aspects? It's such a gem in a time of boring yet popular series like Arrow or The Walking Dead. Looking forward to more of this!
I quite enjoy Josh Thomas's stand up and this series came to me highly recommended.
However, this show lacks the energy of a stand up routine so with long slow periods between jokes that aren't worth the wait. This is not a comedy. It is first and foremost a drama, but it's hard when there's no sense of direction. The story moments just seem to happen without appearing to fit within any story or character arcs.
For example, the series starts with the end of Josh's last heterosexual relationship. Is the story arc about how he finds a new relationship? Nope. Next story beat he gets a boyfriend. Is the story arc about how he (and the people around him) cope with the realisation that he's gay? Nope. A couple quick jokes and everyone (Josh included) immediately accepts his homosexuality. Every time it appears like an interesting arc is being set up, it immediately fizzles out.
It lost my interest half way through the first episode, and although I endured watching until the end of the second episode, I was not rewarded for my persistence.
Starts slow but gets some nice trktion towards the end. Some familiar faces appear, I would recommend this for every fan.
