I think, overall, it was an enjoyable series. I agree with others that this feels like it would have been better in short format. I'll also add that Detective Ledroit being queer felt out of place. Almost as if it was added in after the fact.
Do yourself a favor and stop the show after season 1. Every character in this show becomes either blatantly ignorant, self-righteous, self-serving, or just down right unlikeable.
This was like a Stephen King adaptation, but a flawed one. Stories like this don't work in modern day. One glaring plot hole is how does nobody in this universe know what a vampire is?
I gave this series a chance. I watched until episode 7. By now, it should be clear to all viewers that this was likely a thrown out project that may have started as a sequel to Godzilla 2014, but clearly developed into a CW teen drama. The title should be May: Legacy of the Randa love triangle aka next to nothing to do with Godzilla or monsters.
Incredible animation while sticking to the 90s era style. The story is an interesting one and even holds true to some modern day advances.
Great show if you don't mind animation. The series finale will blow your mind.
Chinese/Japanese collaboration series with plenty of fighting, mystery, super powers, and a bit of martial arts mixed in. The first season animation isn't the best, but second is much better.
This show has such a warm cast of characters and a great performance from the female lead, Emily Rose. I believe that, unfortunately, there was network interference to spread this show out as long as possible. The reason being is that there is clearly a narrative here, but it takes a back seat to whichever "Trouble" is the highlight of the episode.
The problem I have with this being a police crime procedural is that the actual police are rarely even in the show. Nathan is anything but a detective/police officer. He claims to know all of the officers by their first name and yet never speaks to them. One other glaring mistake is that Nathan doesn't have a radio. In fact, nobody seems to know what one is in this city, er small town.
In short, if you're interested in a supernatural drama that you can have on in the background, then this is for you. There are also lots of allusions to Stephen King's works throughout. Don't take this one too seriously and you won't be disappointed.
This is not for fans of the original series. Raylan Givens' character does NOT fit in this setting at all. This is a cash grab plain and simple. The writers haven't "taken inspiration" from Elmore Leonard's novel. They have literally replaced the main character, a local detective, and replaced him with a US Marshal. Makes absolutely no sense and it's just garbage. Read the novel and skip the show.
The show has moments of greatness. The world of the Witcher, the characters, and the story are very interesting. However, this show plays like a summarization of the actual story. I wish that was actually presented before the show started. Instead you get a "based on "The Witcher" series" amidst the end credits. That is very "loosely" based as is clearly evident. Like many Hollywood adaptions, this one falls short. If you're looking to fill in all of the gaps, then please check out the novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
This plot would have worked for a 2 hour movie. However, the show is asking the viewers to care about 1-dimensional characters. Wait until you discover the so-called motivation of the hijackers. Put this one on the back burner as there are far better options out there.
The writing in the 2nd season is terrible. The events should have happened in a couple of episodes. Instead it was stretched out to 8 episodes. I can't believe they had the nerve to set it up for another season.
I quite enjoyed this. The show closely follows one family in particular and the pacing kept me engaged over the entire series. I'm not certain of the historical accuracy, however, I noticed that some of the footage was original/remastered.
The show was great. This is a horror drama and NOT action/fantasy. If you're looking for sparkly vampires, then look elsewhere. I really enjoyed the slow burn and big reveal that came midway through the series.
If you're wondering about the air dates, then I have the answer. The moderator over at tvdb is a dinosaur and using his paper TVGuide dates. The proper air dates are posted at IMDb and the epix website.
I have to agree that this appears to be on par with what the CW puts out. I was hoping for a thrilling murder/abduction investigation. What I gleaned from the first episode is that this is a half-hearted attempt at bringing to light the presence of human trafficking. Unfortunately, there's just too many glaring holes in the reality of it all.
I sincerely hope that AMC throws this show in the waste bin along with that atrocity, TWD: Beyond. AMC is now on par with the CW as far as the level of writing goes. If they keep churning out crappy TWD spinoffs then they will be bankrupt by end of spring next year. Nobody with half a brain would that rubbish.
I just finished the first episode. I can't believe how much character development went into the first episode. So far the material is fresh and current. The acting and special effects are far and away better than most shows in the past decade. Keeping politics out of this, the show is about the U.S. military and it's struggle against an encroaching terrorist group called the Spree. The twist is that the U.S. military is comprised solely of witches. The Spree seem to be comprised of witches as well. I'm interested to see where this series goes.
All hope for this were lost when I saw the CW logo. The production budget looked high with the costumes and set pieces. With that said, the fight choreography is atrocious(the 5 minutes that I saw). A slender woman is kicking and punching men in full suits of armor. Then as she's fighting two at once, one of the men stops in the middle of a downward strike so that he can be slashed(wearing full armor). Then, the felled bodies all disappear in the next shot. smh. You are much better off watching Xena Warrior Princess.
