again begging @Trakt to do something about these before-release reviews.
this has 95% critics rating and 100% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, yet it's 30% here on Trakt?

Completely agree with you, I've been complaining about this. Seen the first episodes and I really liked it.
Good old PSX days. It's probably going to suck though.
loading replies
Against all odds, it doesn't suck at all. Maybe it's me since I had no expectations at allz but I'm enjoying this. Saw the first 3 eps and loved it.
A brilliant adaptation of the classic with some twists that in my opinion do not harm the history. I would go as far as it improves it, but again that is just my opinion.
It is for me the best adaptation I've seen of Jules Verne's book. The characters are well cast, so if you like adventure, drama and a little comedy don't miss this show.

@jeaneats For sure. I have yet to pick up on New Amsterdam, will binge during Easter vacation.
If you have time give this a look. https://trakt.tv/shows/wolf-like-me , I've been stuck watching it, the episodes are short but it's a delightful rom-com with a twist.

@jeaneats Well I'm not ashamed to say I liked Twilight movies, I also saw True Blood and Vampire Diaries lol
Definitely the Good Sam could have that Dr. House feeling, see ep.2 and let me know what you think.

@jeaneats Nothing like a cheesy rom-com :-D And speaking about it, have you seen "A Discovery of Witches" - https://trakt.tv/shows/a-discovery-of-witches? If so do you like it?
I actually really really loved this adaptation and I do not entirely understand the backlash. It's not necessary a negative thing taking a classic story that's been told countless of times in countless adaptations and changing some of its bits in order to create a new, in my opinion equally (if not more) interesting one, instead of retelling the same old one for the millionth time. Abigail's character was a very spot on addition and fit the story perfectly. The historical aspect of it all which was not very present in the book made the story way more captivating for me. And of course, David Tennant is extraordinary in everything he does and this role was made for him, even if he was a slightly different Fogg than the always calm, always self-collected one we saw in the book. Speaking of Fogg, the Estella storyline was also a great addition for him, one that I personally much prefered compared to Aouda's in the book.

I agree with everything you wrote. I also think this was a fantastic adaptation and the changes made improve the story.
Wow, it has Sam Neil and a Plot which can go in either direction.
This is either going to be awesome or total crap...
loading replies
I agree. I hope it's awesome... Also people continue to vote without any episode being released
wow... maybe it was because I had so low expectations for this show, bit this first episode was really good (in my opinion). I had given up on the CW/DC bit this might bring me back. Hope they keep it good like this.
loading replies
@jeaneats Yeah how I feel you. Hope you like the second episode as well, I just finished it, seems pretty interesting the way their heading, so far so good.

Just binged the entire thing, I liked it personally and think they did a great job.
loading replies
I agree with you. I think they captured the essence of the game and made a heck of a tale.
As usual the show wasn't released and had five 1* votes.
Anyway this is a fresh take on the 87's movie with Michael Douglas and Glenn Close.
It's told in a retrospect kind of way (seems to be the only way they write shoes nowadays) but it's not hard to follow.They released 3 episodes which I think was smart and allows you to get involved with the plot if you liked the pilot.
Good cast and I really enjoyed the first episodes.If you like a thriller and haven't seen the 1987 movie do see this. If you seen the movie but like me you are a sucker for a fresh look on an oldie, give it a shot.
Edited for typos.
loading replies
Well my typos don't make the show less good.
And yes she's no Glenn Close and he's no Michael Douglas but that's a good thing imho. I think both actors cast for lead roles are doing a great job.
Looks like I was wrong about this one,by episode four it has become a joke of a show..terrible.
loading replies
Totally in agreement. It's really bad and it was a miss, since the cast wasn't bad. The writing and the direction of this was awful.

@whos_ur_buddha Yes! Tulsa King is awesome. All Taylor shows are great. Glad you like it.
20m episodes... Why?
Anyway it's a good start, but will be painful to wait a week for a 20m episode...

@ethan-tocco touché :joy:
p.s. - for the 5 words needed rule
Can't wait for this. Although I'm a bit worried about Nick Santora being behind it, I really don't like the way most of his shows are run, but I absolutely love their pick for Reacher. It still hurts me to think Tom Cruise was Reacher...
loading replies
@jrgooner He really was rubbish lol. I'm happy with the actor they cast. Now just hope they give us smart and overpowered Reacher from the books :-)

@jeaneats Regarding A Discovery of Witches, I like it, but I do like this type of shows invoking witches and paranormal, but the show is basically about the love between 2 different creatures a Witch and Vampire.
I liked episode 2 more than 1, but it's still a rather slow paced show, could be good. Sometimes you can fall in love with a show because it's actors and I like Jason Isaacs. So i'm giving it a chance.
Another Tyler Sheridan show. After Yellowstone success he's in demand, and that's a good thing imo.
He's new show 1883 is about to be released, so he will have 3 running tv shows of hight quality.
If you like some criminal drama, mixed with some dark grit plot lines, don't miss this one.loading replies
@helmheim Hi. No this one is a stand alone.
The only spinoff, as of now, is the show 1883 - https://trakt.tv/shows/1883, wich is kind of a prequel to the Dutton's story.
I love the concept of the story and loving the characters.
I like how the story is developing, but the constant jumps are trying. I understand it was a success in a movie and then in a show and now everyone does the same, it's really annoying imo.all in all it kept me wanting to see more, so I hope it keeps getting better.
loading replies@tgvlx You hope it will get better, so you give it a perfect score?
loading replies
Yes, I gave it a 10 rating to counter balance the 1 it was given months before the TV show even went on air.

That is good to know, I haven't read the book, so it's nice they are sticking to the source.

Well you usually go around ditching about a lot of shows, glad you like this one.
Have you seen Mayor of Kingstown? It's his other TV show on Paramount+? And his new TV show 1883 that is going to launch on the 19th of December?
season 1 : 9/10
season 2 : 10/10 ( for me )i literally didnt expected the climax which i saw in season 2 finale , story was more gripping than season 1 thats why i liked this season more , nd BTW season 3 is coming because it ended with a very much likely possibility
loading replies
I wonder what did you think of season 3?
Damn!!!!!! What a show there should be more quality series just like this
from the visuals to the storytelling it's perfectly produced.
This show left me speechless.
This has to be one of the best shows in TV history. :fire::fire::fire:
It is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Great series.
This show is f**king brilliant.
I've got a feeling This series is up there with the best.
I've never seen a show produced this well.
Love this show, it is five stars and should definitely be on everyone's watch list.
whoever directed it did an amazing job. The blocking, excitement, power,
subtle yet always there. Love how they heightened the court scene.
One of the best series ever made. WOW!!!loading replies
Couldn't agree more with you. The only fault I see is them not releasing all the episodes, I wanted to binge this during the weekend...

So saw 3 ep. but it was too much for me. Great actors and great performances though. It's different so might get a big following. For me I'm calling quits on episode 3 and removing from track.
loading replies
@jeaneats How I understand you, and it's a shame with such good actors.
This was emotionally exhausting.
Great performances by all but it was simply too heavy. I don't see myself ever watching this again.
loading replies
Yes, I felt the same. I called it quits after ep. 3, probably all great but I just couldn't go on.
well after the great television foobar of 2019 and the mass cancellations for no reason except corporate greed.
i just hope this program lives a long and healthy life as this is a great show and brilliant acting everywhere.
long live the son!loading replies
Seems it got cancelled. It's pitty I really loved this show. Guess the awful reality shows are what people like.
Watched the first 2 episodes, can't wait for the rest.
Episode 1 is kinda slowish, but it's getting us familiar with the people.
Episode 2 is much better and has some action.. now it's starting to really get interesting.
8/10A couple of What the... moments.
Dad and kid are driving down the road. Both are sitting on their seatbelts. Dad swerves as he's looking at the government agents behind him - they're both wearing their seatbelts!
The kid jumps into the back of the van and puts on his seatbelt, but when mum hits the brakes to look at the cops - he's in the front seat!
The big shootout. They've killed the guys - why wouldn't you take their truck. Why in the world would you walk in the desert?!!!!loading replies
Yes... the truck thing really annoyed me. It's like when the guy rans out of bullets in an action movie and doesn't pick one of the dozen guns lying around...
I could not stop watching this!!! I casually watched the first episode, then by day 2, I was finished lol. Great surprise with this one. I was able to keep up with all the twists and turns and I can't wait to see what season 2 brings us! Georgia is so badass. I can't front though... I'm rooting for JOE!!!!!

Yeah it was great, loved it and I'm with you #TeamJoe ;-D
So far so good... I’m in it for the season!

Loving it also :thumbsup:, great to see Clarice in action again.
I really hope they make something amazing with one of my favourite female characters.
Cast looks fine - Rebecca Breeds fills the bill optically and with Kal Penn and Michael Cudlitz there are at least two decently known actors in it.

@whos_ur_buddha I did. Didn't think it was as good as some of his other work, but I do like the actor. But sometimes if felt a bit boring. Not his best, but I still liked it. Hope you like it as well.
Making it in B&W. Why? It isnt clever or cool, just annoying.
loading replies@trevskie the book was written in 1955. The show is set in the 60s. And it is a thriller/film noir. Feels like a good choice to me. Plus the cinematography is amazing.
loading replies
It's a question of taste and opinion. The book being written in 1955 does not oblige to make it black and white, because you know, even in 1955 film was already in color and we all see in colors.
It was a decision made by the production. I don't like it, glad you do.
