A beautifully shot and acted, piece of shit. I would rather die in the apocalypse than watch this again.
In the opening scenes the viewer is expected to believe a couple things right off the bat; first being that after surviving 100 years following the apocalypse on a space station, beauty care product synthesization has been perfected, and there is apparently plenty of electricity for blow dryers and curling irons -- not to mention lots of water for hair washing and conditioning. On the other side of the scale: overuse of medical supplies is punishable by death.
Take scene 1 for example: teen aged girl, blond highlights & dark roots, lots of mascara and eye shadow -- and she's in space-station-prison. Dressed in teen-Gap spacewear, she must have traded her exercise time for peroxide and hair foil, because after 100 years, there's plenty of that stuff onboard.
No shortage of hair product -- plenty of gel and mousse for all the men and women of the 100 year old space station. And speaking of the men, apparently there's an abundance of shaving stuff as well, making it possible to maintain a shave-every-day standard in space. Amazingly, even the young men sent to earth who are struggling through a radiated danger-filled jungle just to find the food locker manage to remain cleanshaven. Similarly, all the girls keep perfectly arranged hair, and manage to change their eyeshadow colors in that same jungle. Clever way to convey the passage of time, change eyeshadow colors. All this without carrying a single supply box, bag, or container of any sort off the ship they landed in.
The genre of SciFi should be offended, but then again, it's CW ;-)
Mediocre show, Rosario is awful as Ahsoka and Winstead doesn't fit Hera Syndulla at all. Story is very predictable unfortunately.. I was so looking forward to this, dissapointed.
This mini series is giving me a migraine, of all the decent series Netflix has canceled (Warrior Nun being the most recent) and then they put this up for viewers, really makes me wonder who is running the show there. This is trash TV nothing more. Thank god it's only 4 parts.
The only thing i can think of worse than this crap is there is actually folk who pay to watch this pile of pish!
There are demons and other supernatural beings, sure, but I don't think this show was titled for that.
The real and true EVIL is represented by those four girls chaotically shrieking every time they get even a second of screen time.
I looked at it according to the chronological order. Find it makes no sense at all otherwise.
VIOLET: 24 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
GREEN: 7 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
YELLOW: 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
ORANGE: 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
BLUE: 5 DAYS BEFORE THE HEIST
WHITE: THE HEIST
RED: THE MORNING AFTER THE HEIST
PINK: 6 MONTHS AFTER
I just don't agree with all these comments about just watching the UK version. The Americanized Office worked, why can't this one? That is all you hear, "don't they ever have any ideas of their own?" There are countless attempts at original shows every year and no one watches them either. Starting a show with a built-in audience just make sense sometimes.
And after just seeing the hour premiere, I do enjoy it just as much as the original. They did change some of the characters and im all for the differences.
I've been a massive, and I mean MASSIVE, Star Wars fan since I can remember, however I couldn't even watch this. I tried. I tried so hard, but it is just so boring, and horribly written. Rosario Dawson's acting is mediocre at best, and she doesn't fit the role of Ahsoka what-so-ever. Such a huge disappointment!
By the end of the season, Sabrina had annoyed the living shit out of me.
I'm all for women empowerment, but damn, must feminism be incorporated in almost every tv show nowadays? I get enough of it from the real world.
There's nothing but subtle low blows through out the season.
"Why can't we live a normal life with the mortals? Because Dark Lord is a jealous man."
Why doesn't the Dark Lord want us as powerful as him? Well, after all, he is a man."
Is it just me, or does Sabrina and Harvey love seem way over the top for teenagers? Their love was on the same level of Jack and Rose from Titanic. I was secretly hoping the Dark Lord or Prudence sisters' would kill her boyfriend off, so the show could move on.
Also, what time period is the show in? 1950's? 1960's? 1980's? 2017? I initially thought 1960's because of the signs and cars, but then Ambrose pulls out a laptop and laptops wasn't invented until 1981. So, I thought mid-to-late 1980's, then I see an iPhone X ringing in one scene.
The only show Disney have done well with is Andor and maybe some of the Mandalorian but this is a pile of utter shite!
This show is absolutely terrible. 4 episodes out of 6, still cant recommend.
i'm gonna just say, well worth the wait.
One of the worst shows ive ever seen,Disney have destroyed star wars.
So glad this train wreck is finally done. Kinda like a bad relationship you know you need to get out of but just keep hoping it will be better. Well it never does.
This whole series had your typical conflicts and needlessly forced drama, but all in all the story arcs weren't horrible and you could sorta suspend belief.
But this final season has just been utter garbage.
Female characters suddenly turned into stereotypical lesbians butch types for no apparent reason and a few look terrible. Characters changed personality also for no apparent reasons. Lack of continuity and explanation, confusing story lines kinda went off to nowhere. Motivations are unreliable and random. I'm sure the PC police will crack down on me, but the whole "Girls Kick Ass" gets tedious. Except for Shadeheda, no man can stand against the magnificent power of the Mary Sues.
I'm so sick of agenda driven story telling. A. it's insulting to our intelligence and B. Its crap story telling.
I don't know if Hollywood is in its own echo chamber or these people really think this is good stuff. Probably a little of both, but it's a shame. The premise was good. The production value was good. The acting was good for the most part given the script. But it's unbearable to slog thru this knowing it could have been so much better.
Dear lord , this show looks like it's not a Star Wara IP. It's almost like a fan made show - that's how bad the acting , direction , screenplay is.
Even the sets they've used look so cheap and artificial.
I don't even know how this show got greenlit in the first place.
Wow, what terrible acting and storylines. It's like they throw darts at the episode plot board and just riff on what they hit.
With every Star Wars spinoff Disney demonstrates their acceptance of mediocrity in entertainment. Each spin off uses the leftovers from the previous shows as set pieces and everything is just lower and lower production value with more talentless actors and bad writing.
Mando set a gold standard in the first two seasons, Fett was OK but felt forced, Obi Wan didn't really land and Ewan couldn't resurrect it, Andor was slow and recycled too many previous Star Wars sets and now Ashoka is just a sad attempt at another spinoff, of which there seem to be a limitless supply of. With Ashoka it seems like they are trying to break the "one season special" formula and make it a slow burn to run for multiple seasons.
Disney is grasping at anything to keep their failing streaming service (and frankly, their failing corporation) alive.
As I write this I realize how much Star Wars has been spun off, especially if you include Solo and Rogue One. Disney got their hands on the franchise and turned it into a giant cash grab which worked for a minute but is watering down a beloved franchise more and more with each spin off.
Too much emotional drama no ass kicking - boring
The most beautiful space documentary ever!
I stumbeled over some clips of cosmos on the NationalGeographic YT channel, I got very curious so I did take a look & awwww man - this is one incredible show.
[10/10] It has the most stunning animations 3D and 2D - just a freaking eye candy!
[09/10] The direction & camera work is superb
[09/10] Narration & moderation by Neil deGrasse Tyson is like honey for your ears, I feel like I'm back in kindergarten listening to a history lesson ^_^
[10/10] And the music - awwww man the music ... takes me right back to "Contact (1997)". You know why? Because it's created by the same composer: "Alan Silvestri" the master of "Back to the future", "Predator", "Avengers", ... If you are a soundtrack geek - this is a MUST HEAR!
I was moved, I was inspired, it made me wonder & joyful.
In 1x07 they even put the oil industry in the pillory (on FOX!).
This show is informative, engaging, & literally amazing.
ENJOY!
Sadly, so far the story is mid. I just hope that they can pick up the pace.
now this was worth waiting for 2 years. Classic Rock and Morty!
pure garbage. Unrealistic. Stupid . Period.
Season 6 and I'm still watching this crap!! Why?? I have no idea, it's stupid and pointless. 4/10
Big Supernatural fan and I was looking forward to this show. But after the first three episodes I am a little disappointed so far.
I was looking forward to this when discovering the synopsis and wasn't disappointed at all. Quite the contrary, I was even pleasantly surprised by this pilot.
Not a fan of the rather young cast but I've seen much worse and guess I can deal with it on the long run.
I'd say the premise was set a bit fast but on the other hand it didn't drag the episode.
Somehow it feels a bit like the TV series Forever (fantastic series, btw) just in a lighthearted format, plus a zombie instead of an immortal. Comedy is rather subtle here but very well used.
The only issue I have is the morgue sidekick or boss of Liv, Ravi. He's just too laid back about this zombie thing and too willing to cover her up and send her off to do police work, risking her cover. While I appreciate a non dragging establishing of characters, some more background about Liv and Ravi would have been necessary to make it more believable here. But that is nitpicking.
Also, Rose McIver looks really hot as a zombie but not nearly as hot as a human. Or maybe I'm just into zombiegirls. shrug
Sidenote: The cover for this show here on trakt looks awful with the "main" characters posting in front of a white screen. Looks absurd and not fitting of the tone the first episode set.
A disgrace to name this show after the legendary Walker Texas Ranger.
Disappointing. Trash show. Has nothing to do with the original Walker Texas Ranger.
Very basic CW woke soap TV show that pretends to be an action show.
Writing is extremely horrible.
