What the hell are you guys talking about? The show is a great time. It's not taking itself too seriously and it's poking fun at all the horror movie cliches. Good job Ryan Murphy. You've done it again!
The best show ever!!!!!!!!! ♥
Modern Family does what's best in comedy: subtle awkward situations that make you laugh uncontrollably, even though if someone sees the same scene as you, they will never get why and how it's funny. You can't judge Modern Family based on some episodes seen sporadically, no, you'll have to go from the start and watch all of it, for the comedy to become apparent to you.
Wanted to see what all the buzz was about... I've watched 5 episodes and got bored out of my mind. Feels like it's targeted for teenagers.
It has a very simplistic take to it: ultra-hyper-dramatization of very basic concepts and bad behaviors of a minority of people. Reviews say it raises questions about society and politics but does not provide arguments or details either way. The stories are sometimes interesting but lack any depth and in the end, it's the idea that counts, or so they say. Just presenting basic questions with no details and some vague/weird drama only makes people argue and thus promoting the series. I find it pretentious.
One of the society satires i enjoy is South Park which most of the times present quite a complete picture about a topic with multiple perspectives and arguments. Compared to South Park at that, Black Mirror is kind of showing you only what the main character(s) see.
Is there anything they won't make in to a detective series
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.
I'm enjoying this series, and its funny without too much tech stuff that the wife even enjoys most episodes
Season 2 is a complete garbage
Characters that didn't have any logic. Annoying rebellious acts for no apparent reasons. "Wise" elder characters who bicker and are useless. Story line was inexcusably weak, character development was pathetic, and it was altogether a bad show. Original Airbender was good, this was not. Teen drama crap.
This is a show that plays in the vein of "finally getting minority voices on television." There's chuckle moments and the cast has chemistry, but the perspective isn't necessarily "new." It's like long-form observational comedy more than anything else. If you're a fan of Aziz you'll get what you expect, but it's not particularly gripping, so to speak. A mash-up of millennial sensibilities and awkward situations, but even trying to recall "moments" from the show, I sort of draw a blank. That usually tells me all I need to know about a show. You won't knock it for trying, but you're not going to call home about it. Edit: The 2nd season turns up the charm and makes for more memorable moments.
With Wes Craven's recent passing this show can't be considered a honor to his work. Luckily he didn't do much else than let them use his name for the show.
You can't do a slasher movie as a TV series.
The above is an actual quote from a character in this show which certainly applies here. There is little "slasher" in this show! Instead they took some basic ideas from the genre and paired it with Pretty Little Liars whose fans also seem to be the target audience.
No one does a decent job acting, the dialogue is often cringey, the story sucks and they make absolute no use of the runtime to build the characters or go past the cliché. They even had the balls to go for a second season.
For anyone who liked the movies and thinks that the TV series is the logical continuation you have to watch: don't do it.
Good scale and possibilities on paper, but uninspired in the realization - this show will be renamed from "Gotham" to "Gossip" next season.
Very stupid and absurd show, and the best important for me: make me laugh, that's so good!!
Can't believe I watched this all the way to the end. Terrible show, even the Baconator couldn't drag this thing above mediocre. Fine actors I suppose, but absolutely terrible writing and plot.
This show is unbelievably dark. It really makes you think about how workplace comedies rely on a culture that celebrates labor when confronted with a comedy that is not buying into that. There is not a single throwaway episode. The depths they plumb to reflect the experience of a young working person in the US right now are so unflinching, and that’s only half the story. The other half is a harrowing and HILARIOUS look at corporate corruption from the top down. There’s literally episodes about starting a war to increase profits, and another about pitching new ideas for addictions. It goes there and it’s not worried about making you uncomfortable. Once you accept that you will be made fun of you will laugh so hard it hurts.
hmmm...wouldn't say better than TaahM, but definately a pretty fun show to watch! thumbs up!
Starts off amazing for first 5 eps. When Ali died, the show lost its way a little. I’m also not sure point of the body organ subplot. Didn’t really lead to anything.
I’d also have rearranged the final scenes: have G sad and despondent, but also let him do charity stuff for Sang Woo’s mum etc. THEN let him not touch his own money for a year, as that still conveys his guilt and hopelessness. It still works. Otherwise, Seems bit weird and pathetic in order we got it in on the show. I get he was sad that his mom died, but bumming around for a year after seems quite a leap.
Lastly, did they really fly in the VIPS just to watch two games? A cool bridge one, and then what’s basically a cheap playground game of hopscotch? I think they should have come in earlier on the show.
I am very amused by the annoyance experienced by the two other comments on here. Complete disagree. Love this show!
Drama? No way! This show is sooooo funny! =)
And the cover should be like this! http://www.serienjunkies.de/news/big/o/orange-the-new-black-43346_big.jpg
Just watched the first episode of this train wreck. Supernatural should've stayed dead. The casting is absolutely dreadful and John especially doesn't feel like John at all. The show is supposed to be set in the 70s and everyone dresses and talks like it's set in the modern day. The CGI is awful and the acting is shite. The script is the poorest I've seen in a long time.
What the fuck is this?! Jensen, you say you are making this for the fans and for people who miss and love Supernatural but honestly, you are beating a dead horse here. The entire existence of this show just pisses all over 15 seasons of continuity and rewrites the entire history of the original show.
The quality of the shorts in this collection varies massively, with some being amazing and others being total dog shit - Pun intended.
This ranking only includes the shorts I consider worth watching. My score would be a lot higher if not for the other ones; skip them imho:
I can't very well explain how I feel about this show. When I started watching it, I loved the premise of the show: the planet is destroyed and all that's left of our race is 1 spaceship and 50.000 people. I didn't like the characters very much (I even disliked the way some actors played their role) and didn't think much of the special effects.
But in some way, this show has gripped me like very few shows have before. The combination of the premise, the unfolding story, the incredible dilemmas the survivors must face, the focus on politics/religion/science/social development rather than action and battles, even the musical score was perfect to drag me further into the show. I even started to care for the characters.
After watching all seasons I'm left a little unsatisfied with the ending (as I always am with any show), but the way this show could transport me into another world, might make this one of the very few shows I could watch a second time.
The premise is good and could have taken us to a lot of cool stuff... Instead were dealing with drunks, addicts, teen angst and daddy-issues most of the time.
I understand it has to be there but it could have been done a bit more in the background. The looming sense of dread, the shadow in the doorway rather than bad-dad-trope-galore.
The Nastume Yuujinchou series is a powerful and heartwarming fantasy masterpiece among the anime world. I absolutely loved the series and couldn't stop watching till the very end. The quality through all 4 seasons was just superb without a hint of drop-off. The range of emotions and themes covered in Nastume Yuujinchou is beyond impressive. It would have me ROFL with Nyanko-sensei's antics in one minute to within Clannad-esque tears in the very next. However, what truly struck me was how N.Y. was able to find a duality/struggling conflict within all of these different themes and truly challenge the feelings and emotions of the viewer. This was done by creating such spectacular characters from Natsume and his family/friends down to the individual youkai that we meet for only a single episode. The creators do a magnificent job getting us emotionally invested in this world via these relatable and lovable characters. It's an amazing ride (and I hope we get another season) as we join Natsume on his journey as he learns to accept and understand his ever changing world, the people/youkai around him, and, ultimately, himself. This is right at the top of my list of must watch anime. Don't think. Just watch.
I was looking forward to a more "adult", more gritty and dark version of Sabrina.
But this is surprisingly trashy, all over the place and just absurd most of the times.
Some of the effects are pretty good, though.
Shipka is a good choice, Salem's appearance was absolutely great, but Wardell is annoying, Zelda way too mean and Hilda too whiny and I just don't care for Harvey or Ambrose.
Well, in summary, disappointing.
Six episodes in, I can't get into this anime.
The slapstick humor seemed forced for a drama anime like this. Most of the main characters are unlikable. And this anime tried way too hard to manipulate my feelings, only to end up having me laugh like a shitty terrible person when someone cries.
The only saving grace of this anime was the musical performances. But that was it.
Yep, I am not going to continue watching this anime.
some fillers were quite nice, i didn't like the one with some sorta princess tho
I loved this series. It took a few episodes for me to really get into it, but this and Nozaki-kun ended up being my favourite series this season. Well done slice of life with enjoyable characters and some decent comedy.
I really liked Naru. It would have been very easy for her to have been the "really annoying kid character" you very often get, but I found her genuinely charming and endearing. For the most part, she spoke and acted like an actual child would, where a lot of series would mess up by having her act too much like a wiseass, or worse, some precocious loli. Thankfully, neither was the case here.
Handa himself came across as a flawed but quite sympathetic character. Watching his (usually startled) reactions to the things happening around him never got old!
The supporting cast were great too. They were all pretty upbeat and seemed fun to be around. I'd love to go hang out with them all on that island!
Overall a wonderful watch.
The acting is pretty bad, the CGI is laughable, the story doesn't appear that original to other Netflix Originals where a hero with new powers has a parental figure/family friend that has to be defeated (The Protector, Iron Fist, The Order) but I'm going to continue to give it ago, in the doubtful hope that it improves.
This series takes fan service accidents to a whole new level, completely ignoring the laws of probability. Most people couldn't make up the kind of wardrobe malfunctions that occur in this series.
