My favorite episode so far. There was something so poignant and touching about Sam and the girls getting a break from the drama back home, just chilling out with a sweet couple. The ghost story was unexpected but was done nicely.
A return to form after a few lackluster episodes. Some truly hilarious moments, as well as heaping scoop of twisted pathos as you can expect from a Harmon story.
I was intrigued by the concept of this show, but while the first episode wasn't atrocious, I'm gonna pass on the rest. The idea of the entire story being told in an interrogation room ends up limiting the dramatic possibilities way too much for my tastes. Think about it: there's no chance the person being interrogated is innocent, because then you have no episode. So we're left with guilty people, and the only tension we get is whether they'll confess or not, which we know will happen because otherwise the bad guys win.
And honestly, if this first episode is any illustration of the overall quality of the rest, I'm not interested. The episode is built as if they're racing against the clock and brilliantly lure Edgar into revealing a significant detail, but... the key detail is the patterns of the trunk mat on the victim's cast. A detail which they had from the get-go and for which they didn't need Edgar's admission to implicate him!
So yeah, no. Pass for me. Nice try, but the concept doesn't carry the show at all.
For those wondering, YES, El Ministerio del Tiempo will return for a fourth season!
This was a great episode. Reminded me of some of Supernatural's most meta episodes. At the same time, I'm happy this isn't the series finale. Hope Amelia, Julian, Alonso and Pacino all make a comeback.
Loved most of the season, hated the damn "You cannot abort that child because it is the future of both our races" clichéd ending.
A disappointment after two strong episodes.
I love the entire series, but this episode was just spectacular. I love this show.
Second season-four dud in a row for me. The story was clichéd and could have been told without the SF tech.
Wow?! Reminds me of my all-time favorite animation,Fantastic Planet, but with a nice touch of ecohorror added. First episode was a truly compelling watch, and I hope the rest of the season can maintain this high bar. The plot itself is more on the slow side, but this gives the show a contemplative quality. Just lie back, relax, and breathe in this truly alien world.
Oh, my gooooood, that episode nearly killed my interest for this show. A long, tedious flashback that's completely against the tone of the rest of the series, concerning characters I care nothing about, wrapped in cheap sets, poor writing, and an attempt at '80s sitcom aesthetic that falls flat on its face. The only thing that got me through was practicing my Mandarin listening skills, and seeing the Monkey King himself in action.
I've just gone through the synopses for the rest of the season to make sure that was the last flashback. Whew.
This show is one of the most consistently funny on TV right now, but that cold open with the boat was one of the most hilarious things this show has put out.
MAN, this show is so uneven. After last week's awful attempt at comedy, we're now getting a no-holds-barred, intriguing cosmic episode with fantastic stakes and awesome action. Not only was the multiversal fight visually cool and exciting, but it's also the very best we've seen of Hawkeye in the entire MCU. (At least to date! Fingers crossed for the Disney+ show.)
Let's hope the next episode delivers on this fantastic setup.
This was more of the same compared to season one, which is to say, it was fantastic. I was briefly puzzled that we were going back to Tatooine, but honestly, they use this setting in such a compelling manner than I don't mind at all. It jives perfectly with the Spaghetti Western vibe they're going for.
Big kudos for the giant monster fun in this one. It's an aspect of the original Star Wars trilogy that modern SW content often overlooks, and it was done really well here.
Excited for the rest of the season!
A return to form after two lackluster episodes. This was easily on the level of the first three episodes of the season.
Not much I can say, except I'm now incredibly excited for the finale.
That's what a "Short Trek" should be: fun, fast-paced, and memorable. Enjoyed it a lot.
This episode was not as exciting to me as the previous two. The finale wasn't as emotional to me because it felt very derivative of the Doctor Who episode about Van Gogh, and not as well done.
A brilliant yet deeply flawed episode that at once stands out from the rest of season 3 yet painfully underlies its flaws.
The scene where Mia speaks before the Commission is the best one I've seen in the entire series, and the way event unfolds during and after was a true turning point for the story. Tragic, complex, personal yet global.
Then Laura's choice... The sequence was over-engineered and unrealistic. Why didn't Laura say "These are both living human beings and I choose neither"? It was crystal-clear Anatole's purpose was to show to Stanley that humans plaved synth lives below theirs, and still Laura played right into his hands. A badly-written scene that's all the most frustrating that it has massive consequences for the rest of the story.
Such a frustrating, brilliant episode.
Turns out the accused witch was really a witch... What a middling ending.
