i clearly am in love with maia mitchell, that dance scene was stunningly beautiful! wow
i really liked that first season of good trouble! speaking of beauty, this is one of the most aesthetic series i'm watching.
looking forward for season two
Bailey: "Karev did something better than us..."
Webber: "...and he can never know!"
Just going from strength to strength, now. I especially appreciate the small (but I'm sure logistically very complicated) touch of letting the various scenes in the art gallery cross over with each other by having the cast members basically be background actors in whichever scene they weren't actively participating in. I just love that the creative team have been given such leeway to be visually and structurally adventurous with this show, especially given how basic The Fosters was in those respects (I don't mean "basic" as an insult, to be clear).
This show is getting better and better. The last 3 episodes have been amazing!
Parker's demon form is so cool!! I hope we can get to see more of that but I doubt we will.
Not alot to say about this one, don't expect too much. Just watch this when you're home tired from work/school and don't want to use your brain.
What a dumb ending. really.
Yep, the ending sucks. It sucks in way to detract from the whole. I was pretty happy with the ending up until the epilogue. Then the writers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory an fucked everything up.
On a technical note I find it hard to believe that that the magical group meant to police magic were so easily undone. I always find it hard to believe when writers and show runners can't tell the difference between a interesting cliffhanger and a fuck you to their audience.
Never saw that happening but instantly new the other 'guy' was his niece.
Hard to believe there's anyone that didn't see that "twist" from a mile away. Except for the fact that she was an adult, and like Excess, also from the future, although there have been hints of that since about 4 episodes ago. Hopefully Thawne has something good up his sleeve to make this all go down better.
Barry's second speech wasn't bad, but of course he revealed his identity to Cicada. Over the years I've seen all kinds of memes that all make fun of Barry compulsively revealing his secret to every stranger he meets.
I enjoyed the Joe/Cecille bits. By contrast, the Nora/Iris stuff felt kinda hollow, esp Nora's idea of compiling that speech by looking at his other speeches.
Season six is getting a new showrunner-- after a rather lackluster season 4-5 I'm happy about that.
i would die for number five tbh the kid is a fantastic actor
If a grocery store sells paperback books, they most often carry many titles churned out by the author Stephen King. Usually, they’re top-sellers and are prominently displayed. There are new titles so often that is seems there may be a sweatshop in some country where children are ordered to write scary stories really really fast — then the Stephen King Corporation glances through them to find the best of mediocrity.
‘Haven’ appropriately represents this, and would be perfect for watching on your smartphone while waiting in checkout lines. Crying without tears. Humor without laughter. Plot without substance. Acting without appropriate skills. Haven has it all, even the kitchen sink.
$3.00 an episode, or $20 for a season? Anyone willing to pay those prices would be a swampland merchant's dream. Nothing but reruns on regular TV, and, Haven is part of your Netflix or Prime streaming subscription… maybe… It's one of those shows you can miss gaps or episodes of, and it really doesn't matter.
There’s so much choice when it comes to good television these days, and while Haven doesn’t come close to representing that —you could do worse.
"Oh. My. F**king. God." LOL
The concept of the show kind of perfectly represents the show itself. You go out with a bunch of old friends thinking it's going to be a great time, and in the end, things don't turn out the way you were expecting and everybody just kind of ends up disappointed.
I went into this expecting a laugh out loud comedy with a great cast, and there was some of that, but by the end it became more drama, and nothing really ended in a satisfying way either.
I do think the cast was good, and there are some good funny moments, and well done serious moments, but I think overall the show has a weird balance, and doesn't really pay off in a way that leaves any of the characters or audience satisfied. But then again, that's very similar to the night out with old friends from college the show describes, so maybe it achieved exactly what it wanted to achieve.
On one hand I do kind of hope there's another season, only because there's so much left unresolved in the end, but you're never going to get a resolution that satisfies everybody, so I'm not sure if the show should have one either. It's just a strange show. It definitely kept me interested enough to binge it though, so I'll give it that.
I'm looking forward to this. I am rewatching season 1 right now and had forgotten how much I like it.
It was hell of a season! Too bad it got canceled.
this is the best Arrow has been since season 2. i never expected it to be this good!
The chopped off finger scene was gorier than any CW hero show has been before.
That definitely felt like a pilot for a spin off of a new show.
13 years passed and the show is still going strong, cant say much about it since i really want more. Hope i stay alive until the last episode of the final season. As for Season 13, it was interesting as always! 9/10
Now that I’ve watched the entire series in literally one sitting, I’m ready to go back and go through it more slowly. Maybe take notes on each ep about the things I love and things that might trigger others.
There is just so much world-building for all that it is set right here and now. The layers of detail and the breadth of the world created is just fascinating.
Each location truly feels separate, probably because they did actually film on location heh. And each culture feels very distinct which creates such a sense of realism.
I am genuinely impressed with the technical aspects of this show: directing, writing, editing, cinematography, etc. But the heart of it is the chemistry between the main cast and how well they demonstrate the sudden intimacy that their new situations create.
Nothing felt inevitable, there was always a sense of risk and possibility. At the same time, the things that do happen feel right and true to the characters and situations. It’s masterful.
I feel so fortunate that this show exists and that I got to see it.
All that said, there are some incredibly intense moments in the show. There is a suicide in the early part of episode one. Later there is various levels of gore and violence. And if you have any bodily issues, the fact that the show in no way ignores the biological issues of cis women’s bodies might shock you.
As far as I can recall, however, there is no animal harm or rape/attempted rape. I specifically recall a scene where I was like, “oh thank fuck! he’s only trying to murder her.”
At the end of the day, the people I cared about survived and/or triumphed enough that the hardships they went through felt worth it. Intensity level-wise (language, sex, violence, plot) I would compare it to Starz’s Spartacus series. Quality-wise too, it’s that good.
Is there a word for when you're relieved, happy and a bit sad, all at once?
For me, the best shows are the ones that leave you wanting more, and this will definitely be the case here. The story is finished in a satisfactory way but I also think that the side characters were so entertaining that their stories could have been told as well. At the same time I'm also relieved these stories weren't told since it's hard to keep it balanced in a way that it doesn't start to drag on for too long, meaning that the show gets to fade to black at its peak.
Thanks to everyone involved that made this happen - even Netflix, for listening to reason and not denying us a proper farewell.
and of course the phone saved the lol. crappy shit.
While this episode was luckily a lot less preachy than the pilot, it did little to reinforce my trust in the remake. Instead of giving the girls the time to explore their newfound powers and sisterhood it gets crammed with episodic fantasy stuff that CW shows apparently require. Them behaving very random and frankly stupid also didn't help it (was close to turning it off). I'll gladly welcome a Charmed reboot in my TV schedule but if this is all we can settle for then I'm going to drop this sooner than later.
Trying too hard not to judge it based on one episode only! But..
the "vibe" of the show is way different and demons look more like x-men than an evil creatures.
Being a faithful Charmed fan I really wish somehow it will work and if it doesn't still hope this attempt won't stop them from trying
to bring charmed back again. I'm praying that this works out and doesn't ruin the charmed legacy and it appeals to newer generations.
OK, this is a pilot and they already judged sororities and men in general.
The lesbian one checks all the preconceptions there are about lesbians (for example: they hate men). Well, at least thats my take on her character.
Who goes around telling everyone what consent is and that it can be revoked at any time.
And then using the phrase while advertising for pilates?
using one or the other would have been kind of cool.
Using both in the same scene is just desperate.
Besides the SJW-Stuff: The speech about winning prices for deciphering magic scientifically was way too much.
Also: "Baking-Powder works too"? It exists for quite some time now, if witches are powerful and intelligent women you should think someone would have thought of it already or at least it would have happened by accident...
Also: Way too extreme special effects.
The Original Charmed worked as a mirror for boys/men who watched it (Can't speak to what it did for girls...), while still being fun.
This Pilot felt more like being judged for things you haven't even done.
edit:
To make it clear: Consent can be revoked at any time. I just have a problem with people, who feel the need to tell it to everyone every chance they get and kill the mood for people who are clearly both consenting.
And I also hate it, when people assume that a man won't respect a no. The ones that don't are an absolute minority.
Scenes like this strengthen that preconception...
This is a very long show, so it might take a while to finish, but it's definitely worth it. This show has come to a close in 2015, but it still has relevant topics to be discussed by our generation.
Like someone said somewhere; "right concept.wrong network". The premise is nice, the pilot was nice, but right now the show if filled with useless and boring sub-plots and empty characters doing "I have seen this stuff 20 times on tv" moments. Grant Wilson is the only one who doesn't annoy me in this show.
I will see the season finale for the main plot and just that. the rest it´s like i´m watching Disney channel.
