It's very well done, but I wish the story had more of an arc instead of just kinda... ending.
Legend has it, that the script took forever to finish. Every time they finished a line, it disappeared
as if the government would negotiate with terrorists.
The request from the terrorist- That the PM should fuck a pig is just unbelievable stupid. This episode is by far the worst shit I've seen on television at all.
PS: I want my wasted 45 minutes back
Making Sam deaf was a great example of how diversity and representation don't have to compromise a character. I'm not deaf myself, I don't know anyone who's deaf, and yet you won't hear anything negative from me about Sam being deaf, because 1) it's not my place to judge whether it's meaningful to those represented, and 2) they managed to keep everything that really mattered about him.
In fact, I'd argue Craig Mazin even elevated Sam's character and his dynamic with Henry by tying his deafness to his innocence. Sam can't hear the gunfire, explosions, screaming, and tough conversations that Henry has to deal with and protect Sam from. It ties into what Joel tells Henry about how being a kid is easier. What a great adaptation of this chapter in the story.
That moment where Sam is sitting on the edge of the bed and we don't know if he's turned was adapted brilliantly. In the show, Ellie knows he's infected, but when she calls out to him and gets no response, she doesn't know if he's okay, because he's deaf. Great example of incorporating representation into a story in an uncompromising and meaningful way.
Disappointing and inconclusive... The only strong part of the final episode was Julian clearing the building. Strong attention to detail there. As a series, it started extremely well and wasn't able to sustain. It ended limply and uninteresting.
Copying John Wick now? Where did the action of the first two episodes go? Now it's super slow, mediocre drama... Well shot but still, not really time well-spent.
This is like the comedy version of the boys..i finished the first season in one day
Well, actually funny, fresh and heartwarming in the right moments.. great start!
This is the modern day 'Breakfast Club' meets 'The Goonies'. A cute coming of age movie with lots of action and laughs.
If I was 12 and it was 1986 I'd have given it a 9/10 and watched it again already
So, Charlie is basically a crime magnet walking around super glueing people's wounds :grin:
Surprisingly pulpy action thriller. Far better than it could have been. Nice to see a King Leonidas & Luke Cage tag team. This one's for the adults in the room that enjoy 80s action movies w a side of cheese. 7.0
The confession recoding is a joke and the FBI falls do it? And a kid show them how it could fake. What kind of retarded writing is this.
So a 20 something somehow has the skills to break into the FBI servers to download the recoding. Talk about far fetched. What are these writers thinking. I think this show is made for a child.
The kids are gonna break out the father from a Mexican prison. This show better not get renewed. Because at this point this is beyond stupid.
What a brilliant little series, and episode this was.
Everyone in here talking about the gay son. When the real atrocity is making that dog only have 3 legs. What the crap is that, they could have easily added a 4th leg. This woke shit has to stop Disney
It's silly and pretty ridiculous...but it's fun af and that's all I really care about. I'm down.
I'm really enjoying this. Just watched the movie for the first time a few weeks ago, and this show feels like exactly what I wanted out of a follow up.
Incredible series, absolutely loved it! There is a companion podcast Obsessed with… and there’s a pod per episode explaining how much is true and in short the vast majority!! Awesome
Ehh… far too much talking for an action movie. This could have been an hour shorter and it would have been better. Pretty disappointed that there was only one scene with black panther fighting. There was lots of good stuff too, but Marvel movies have felt a bit rudderless since the infinity war saga finished up.
Where Supernatural very much seems to be the Generation X of this franchise, this seems to be very much the Millennial spin off - set a generation before Sam & Dean.
Check an all inclusive barrage using stuff from the "later" seasons of Supernatural (such as the Men of Letters)
Going from point a to b to c to d to find and open the mystery box all while talking about feelings complete with quiet guitar music. The actual plot flies by but the scenes connecting them drag on relentlessly.
I saw someone call this the Scooby Doo version of Supernatural and after seeing the van I can agree with that. Except Scoobs and the gang didn't spend this much talking about their feelings. Sure, it's the pilot and time will tell but atm they'll have to step up their game to keep me interested - and I can't even guess how they will avoid 15 years of canon.
This is getting better by the minute and more intense….those 2 are nothing but power together!!!
"Do you think I got to be FBI chief by being someone you could fuck with?"
"No sir"
"then quit looking at me lest I get the impression I'm being fucked with."
I believe in John Lithgow supremacy
A friend of mine yesterday said that he's amazed how you can have a series without a tangible story. And I can understand that. This is clearly not a show where things are happening within a given episode. It's a whole cut into pieces. Is it frustrating to have to wait a week for the continuation ? For sure. But I like it. It takes effort, you need to learn about the characters, the environment. You build things up instead of throwing them at people.
A ragtag group of people as very first rebels ? Yeah, sure. An Empire suffocating under its own bureaucracy ? That's what I always had in mind how a Rebellion could form under their eyes.
So far, for me, it makes sense.
Very solid follow up to the 3 episode premiere. Really liking the style and vibe of this show.
Great series so far. Obi Wan season 1 was clearly a missed opportunity and shite next to this.
This show is seriously killing my brain cells right now.
Aunt Lydia to me is the only person that is remotely interesting at this point.
