I think at some point it’s best to ask: what, precisely, are we gaining from episodes like this? The origin story for a ghost, yes. But ultimately, is this a satisfying way to fold the lady of the lake into the central plot of this season? Nah dude. The idea that the lady of the lake is that disconnected, that indifferent to the struggles of Dani and Co brings out something that may have been ultimately a more interesting approach for this series post-Hill House: bring a more episodic based anthology akin to The Twilight Zone. Even if sometimes those stories would be two to three episodes long, I feel like the impact of the project would be much more profound.
what the hell, a musical episode again. if I wanted that shit I would watch a musical not that show.
These two are absolute friendship goals.
That ending though! I was worried for a moment they were gonna end with a crash and not knowing if Jen lived.
I agree with the negative reviews of this ep, I can see what they were trying to do but the animation was really boring and pretty moronic. I love everything these girls do on this show and I love that they're experimenting but this was a big no-no in my opinion!
Another. Awful. Musical. Waste. Of. Time.
Just cancel it.
I like the set-up of this episode. Confronting the Stonewall Prep people BUT it was a tad bit cringe-worthy having Jug and Betty do that all lovey dovey the way they did.
It also felt a bit anti climatic, the twist with Donna. It's like the writers had all these ideas for her but noticed that the fans had ALL of those ideas so they went and did something that nobody suspected because it was NEVER mentioned before, which wasn't just with Donna but the overall ending to this arc I mean, we all knew DuPont was a bad guy and had a big part to play in the happenings of Stonewall throughout the years but these other kids that he killed to keep his secret, that felt thrown in at the last minute.
I'm actually bummed that this story is over and we'll no longer see Donna and Bret. These two grew on me. Characters you love to hate.
It’s nice that they didn’t drag on the twist that we all saw coming. I just hope they don’t ruin JP before Skeet Ulrich leaves.
Have to watch this show again.
Still not over the fact how Steve Carell looks this season. Anyway solid, solid pilot episode!
Burkas isn't you guys, is it? xD
cute except the whole dance scene at the end is a solid 20 minutes too long
I'm still enjoying the Stonewall Prep arc and I still haven't fully figured out what's going on and who is involved in all of it because I refuse to believe Jughead is really dead so this a clever plan he developed but who is in on it and if FP isn't in on it, it's cruel to let the man think he found his son's dead body.
Can we please get rid of Hermosa? O my LORD she is annoying the **** out of me. This rivalry between Veronica and Hermosa is so childish too. Isn't she way older but she continuously stoops to a level of pettiness to win over daddies love from Veronica?
Upside to this whole Betty-gone-bad drama is that we got to see Evelyn again. I have a weakness for Evelyn, can't help it. I want that wacko to break out of jail and run around causing chaos again.
The craziness in Riverdale is back at a high and I'm enjoying it.
WOW!! What a great show. Every time you come up with a question, another one pops up and it just keeps adding more. Well written and a true attention-grabbing show. Plenty of twists and "didn't see that coming" bits.
Thankfully Netflix put the entire series up in one go... I'd have lost my mind if I couldn't binge-watch this and have to suffer over 8 weeks!! Watched the first 7 episodes in one night. 10/10
Love this mystery/thriller genre. Lots of twists and turns. Grabs you right at the gate.
They realllyyyy stepped it up with this one. In comparison to the original from 1990, this was much much better in my opinion. It was thrilling, some good jump scares but also funny. Characters like Richie and Eddie were much more developed this time. They had an obvious amount of budget to make everything come to live and cast excellent people.
One of the things that stood out for me was how well cast the adult versions were and how all the actors did an amazing job to stay close to the younger versions.
They explored more of the characters than the original which made deaths like Stan's and Eddie more emotional.
I'm glad that I saw it in a cinema, because it really is one of those movies you just need to see on a big screen so that Pennywise really feels awfully close. Bill Skarsgard nailed it, once again.
Brilliant casting, great writing and fantastic overall.
I was excited to watch this show, but felt that it really fell flat in this first episode. The intensity was there and I found myself interested at some points, but it was fairly predictable and not quite unique. I also found it difficult to connect with any of the characters. I did not feel even close to invested in any of them and therefore decided to stop after one episode.
Criminal comes with the promise of breathing some life into the police procedural along with an interesting format whereby three episodes are devoted to cases in four different countries. It's an intriguing start, and with a decent pedigree of actors the United Kingdom section looked good enough to tempt me to press play. All of the action takes place in the interrogation room, the corridor outside it or in the viewing room next door, all designed in an idiosyncratic way that seems... unlikely, certainly for a British police station. Nevertheless, it starts out tightly with (a very downbeat and understated) David Tennant playing a doctor accused of raping and killing his fourteen-year-old stepdaughter. He's determined, on his solicitor's advice, to answer 'no comment' to every question put to him and we see that the interrogators have only a limited time to charge him.
It sounds exciting, and for a while it is; it's tense and reasonably well-acted, but at the end of the episode it felt undercooked. There was something missing. It was as if someone tried to come up with a show based entirely on the interrogation scenes in Line of Duty but missed out on any of the context and technique that make those so compelling. Nicholas Pinnock is always good value with a stare that could bore a hole in concrete, but the different elements never quite come together in a satisfying way.
watched like 40 mins of this not great acting to find that Ellie her dad Zeke bus driver taxi driver captain Scott Ellie's fiancee and one of the charity guys are all twats so I stopped watching it because their is nothing likeable about almost all the main characters
This show is such a fn drag, man. There should have been 6 episodes this season, tops. It's like a moebius strip.
Why don’t they listen to the viewers and stop with these musicals?
A much needed improvement in laughs this episode. also, the beginning of the end for Amy it seems
Just watched the first episode and it looks very promising!
Not to heavy going, just a nice show that you can sit down and enjoy, without to much hassle.....
The only thing so far that I’m not to sure about is the editing, feels a bit jumpy and the flow of the storylines could be a bit smoother.....
I'm not religious, but I enjoyed the movie. Even though I got really pissed at the God character sometimes, he made up for it.
RANT not about the movie:
I'm pretty sick and tired of people saying "one of the worst movies I've ever seen" again and again, I can't go on a comment section on ANY movie without someone having that attitude, and I don't even believe it's one of the worst they've seen, most of the time they just disliked it. And it's okay to dislike something, I dislike some movies too. BUT to go as far, example on this film, this "Durkslag", saying it's religious "crap" for "brainwashed" people, I really pity them. He must be so fun at parties (not). If he feel the need, if anyone feel the need to insult movies and at the same time, people who watch them, they really do have my pity, and I hope that they one day learn that they do not have to be so cruel. I don't believe in God, but I believe what comes around, goes around. If you're online acting like a dick, you'll be sure to look twice before crossing any roads any time soon. You, me, everyone, we will get what we deserve, what we put into this life. If you're gonna give hatred, that is what you'll recieve. Just a heads up. ARK, one act of random kindness, saving the world one step at a time. That is all folks. Have a most deserving evening, everyone.
Charles helps so much yet he is secretly gay and Chic’s boyfriend ? I hate to see what the writers will do to FP before he leaves.
Other than that this was one of the best episodes.
Season 3 was a bit of a lame-duck... DO NOT watch episode 32 - you'll never get that hour of your life back! If there wasn't so many long drawn out pointless scenes in season 3 it could easily have fit into 4 or 5 episodes for the entire season. The first 2 seasons are quite good though.
