Great start, go Sly! Very glad I stumbled across this. Great acting, some gentle and not so humour, a bit of violence, and a few plot twists just in the first episode.
Very nice.
Be patient b4 writing off this show! I almost stopped watching after three eps, and it has at least three levels of humour:
1. the very obvious, almost slapstick style.
2. darker, more British, slow burn style, that it took me a few episodes to tune into, underneath #1
3. more in your face, a combination of the above two, still kind of subtle, almost ironic commentary on small town life & discrimination- sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, heteronormality and probably more;...
cos I was busy writing it off for the level 1 humour, which is in itself perhaps a fourth level of humour - In small town Aussie life it is the crazy larger than life characters and attitudes that take up all the space.
Perhaps it tries to be too many things. work at too many levels, but it is rewarding at different levels too, if you give it a chance
Don't believe the haters... admittedly there are some cliches that grind like the reason he is a good profiler is cos of his father, but despite this, I still find this show very compelling and watchable, particularly with the upcoming demise of Criminal Minds and apparently MindHunter. And I think there are some more interesting twists soon to be revealed.
I like that the main role is played by a strong woman of colour, unlike the original typical white male.
And not your typical Hollywood svelte model either.
Production values feel a little lacking, hopefully that will improve beyond the pilot!
Starting each episode with an upside-down NYC skyline seems a fitting way to look at almost an autopsy* of a relationship in decline and divorce, yet funny and thoughtful.
OMG, hilarious, 10/10. This show just gets better and better! St Louis sushi! Oh oh Ohhhhhh! And it is Episode 2.02, titled #2
Oh, for the hastag generation, # means number... Number 2. If you're not laughing yet, you need to go watch the episode!
This is really weird, I thought this was an episode from last season - I swear I knew everything that was gonna happen from start to finish... WTH?
And I'm not psychic? Huh.
I really liked this show. I wish I had known as much about myself at that age as some of the characters. Best Aussie drama I've seen in ages.
I didn't fit in for different reasons, but really related to the show. I was only diagnosed with ADHD after high school, and autism in my 40's.
Took me a little while to get into, but well worth staying for!
Yes, Miranda was better, but all British TV is better than remakes.
If however, you take this as its own show, it does reward. It does still have the oddball characteristics I guess.
It is my fave new show of this year, which isn't really saying much yet I guess, nut it just seems like they really enjoy making it too.
This is my favourite foreign language show right now. Mostly not in English, anyhow. This is pretty funny, in a rather offbeat way. Quirky like "What we do in the Shadows", Wellington Paranormal, "League of Gentleman" kind of way. But different! Enjoy!
I think this is my favourite show this year. Bloody Brilliant.
The writing and direction is what killed this for me... If you think a private company is in league with the govt, particularly the NSA, perhaps while in their accountant's offices you shouldn't talk about it on ur phone, loudly, repeatedly, or text about it either, u know, the NSA? Could have been OK, but honestly...
It's not Trailer Park Boys, but it is still worth a watch.
Except for the actual welding and use of tools, when actors often are just fiddling with random bits of metal, that are clearly not well part of the scene or logical.
I'm really digging this so far... psychology, smart, and a bit of fun too.
Talking a hostage holding a baby into giving up and putting down his gun by laying out alll the options after he gets a helicopter , will he kill the baby, the helicopter pilot etc?
Not much of a spoiler, that is first 2 minutes of ep 1.
I'm coming to this new, not knowing the webcomic, and I love it!
Love the 'tiny snacks' and 'mild poison' lol.
Of course almost no transition pleases dedicated fans, the standout that breaks the rule is The Shawshank Redemption. Though I think Stephen King's original was more of a short story at 70pages from memory!
Ooops my ADHD brain gone sideways there.
Maybe I need to seek out the webcomic!
Remember this is billed as a comedy too, and admittedly the humour is a little quirky. Jean Reno (a la Leon/The Professional) is rather a treat, and makes watching it worth it by itself, as he is a somewhat reluctant aid to our protagonist's bold foray into policework as a woman.
So far I do prefer Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, which feels quite similar, and may be more enjoyable for many.
What an awesome start to the new season... I'm going to drop the last line, cos it dsoesn't really spoil anything, but so good! Call me Hondo.... There's probably something I should tell you about myself...
Interesting, reserving judgement so far. Definitely has that European feel, strange watching what seems to be a mainly German production in English.
Speaking of spoilers, the above summary has a few!
Yes, it's a knock-off, but generally a fun waste of time if you don't mind plot-holes and more technical mistakes than any other modern detective show I can think of.... actually there was that one a few years ago that I seemed to have blocked from my memory was too bad to watch with my nephews - ah Scorpion. Their mistakes were more techie, these are just poor script-writing.
Despite this, this is more watchable somehow...
Wow, first episode I felt compelled to comment on! Starting to think things are drawing together here, and I think we just saw a big plot twist! I delayed watching this ep cos I didn't like the sound of the outline, but now!
Who else thinks Leland just switched bodies into the not so sweet grandma? Or something along those lines. He was just too still in that last scene, and it just completed the red sequence!
Excellent again! I remember thinking a few episodes back that maybe Simon's dad was closeted or even more in total denial, then kinda dismissing it as just being my annoyance at his attitude. Who knows now though?
Well someone already spilt some beans, but I was shocked at how primitive and complicated pregnancy tests were in the 80's! You get your own test tube rack & tubes OMG.
Though before that, until she actually pissed in that tub I thought that all she had been hiding was a home hair dye kit that she was shy about...
This is a great little web series, and you don't have to be a gamer geek to enjoy it! If you watch it on youtube, look for the season compilations.
The show has potential... but the pilot is a little lacking in places.
Hopefully it gels a bit more soon
Was good at first, but then the writing team took a major dive in season 3, then 4.
"I thought of a plot idea, we'll just make up everything to make a story out of it"
Some really bad examples from season 3 & 4:
- computer is stolen but that's OK, the mouse and KB store previous use
- making up stuff about poisons, toxicity and more
and the worst one in Four parts -to start S4 with a major shark jump!
1- whole crazy one about 'making' a unique plastic "missile" so it can't be defeated by radar
2- then using it where there are no anti-missile defence
3- not launching it as a missile, but just using an RPG instead
4- except the core component of the 'plastic' is totally made up "coactive resinase"
5-oops a bonus one. That this melts glass
Ugh was so annoyed stopped to write this now, may never finish watching S4, so bad only a few episodes in
Best show I've discovered in the last year!
Two Worst things about it:
1. Episodes only 24 minutes long!
2. British, so only SIX shows in a season
for the same reason, not enough Lady Parts!
Best things? attitude, representation, and lyrics!
These are from episode One, so no spoilers:
"… I'm sorry if I scare you, I scare myself too
You find me terrifying, could it be you know who?
… What could I be hiding
What could I be hiding?
Voldemort's alive and, Voldemort's alive and
Voldemort's alive and
… He's under my head scarf"
I really liked this season, and the anthopomorphosing aspect of it too, as well as some very twisted benevolent serial killers?
Some more conspiracy theories too - Was the start of AIDS really so innocent or a deliberate plot...?
Season 2 had some real highlights and throw off one-liners that seemed to hit home for me more than the first, and made me go and download both seasons, to rewatch and also chop some highlights for some projects and ideas. Some of them even made it into my quote collection!
Like "And hey, sex work is Work, Bitch!" and in another ep You're a cunt just like the original cunt, Eve. .
Quality entertainment, if a little inconsistent!
Interesting, intermittently funny, but a lotta inconsistency too - Like for people focused on creating spooky events, a lot of variation in quality. Episodes 3, 5, + 6 just seemed a bit half-hearted compared to the others.
