The reason why it's a new series is pretty simple. When this season fails they can start Doctor Who 2005 back up and pretend this season never happened.
Please please please don’t suck!!!
This show is a pleasure for the eyes and a pain for the mind.
Elves act, talk and behave as if they are high, drunk and extremely stupid at the same time.
With their budget it is beyond me why they didn't hire a great writer and storyteller, and a person who can create characters that viewers care about after 1 dialogue. Hollywood has several people like that.
Instead of taking Tolkien material, leave it as is and think how to improve on top of that, AMZN decided to just take the character names, world map and create some random BS script to show off CGI. Well... It's a trend. Wheel of Time did the same thing. Now I pray to all gods that if Hollywood finally will make a TV Show based on Raymond Feist novels - they will ask someone who knows what they're doing...
evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and destroy what is good
My favourite franchise completely destroyed with tolerance... This series made me cancel my Netflix subscription.
A pile of shit show
im a big fan of RE and love the actors but ... 0 hope for this show
Making Albert Wesker black is the same as making Black Lightning White.
They are (again) trying to get the PC crowd to watch it - will they ever learn that the people who think being diverse is more important than the story aren't actually watching the shows but just praising them for their diversity in absentia?
I will give this a try since Lance Reddick is a great Actor (I don't know any if the others involved), but my expectation is that this will be a shitshow...
Mind f* and retro-modern techno wierd. Exactly how I like it
Incredibly boring and slow paced. Stopped watching after one episode.
What a huge waste of a perfectly good Skarsgård. This would be bad even for CW standards but Netflix? Wow, they just hit a new low.
Even with the soapy melodrama, occasional bad acting and a considerably lower budget (probably 2% of the budget of this show per episode): Arrow managed to create better characters and more visceral, memorable and coherent action scenes in its first 2 seasons compared to this show. I’ll even go as far to say that it looks better, despite using incredibly basic set ups and filmmaking techniques. Getting Hailee Steinfeld was a great choice, but her character isn’t leaving a very strong or likable impression. In comparison, Joss Whedon managed to make you care about Clint’s character within 15 minutes of screentime. Well, enough to make you care as a side character.
Moreover, this feels like a studio giving their impression of a Marvel Netflix show, like Daredevil or Jessica Jones, but it doesn’t understand what makes those shows good. It’s so tame and uninspired. It seems to aim for 80’s cheese at points, but even those old action movies had some bite to them (despite how silly they could get). The comedy is mostly flat out lame and cringy, with the role playing scene probably being the lowest low of the entire MCU so far. The recent Marvel projects have had such a weird shift in terms of comedy. They used to be great at making mass product films that were at least a little bit clever and subversive. It’s no surprise that a lot of people who worked on Community also work behind the scenes at Marvel. It’s like they fired those writers after phase 3 ended, and hired the Friends team instead. Their quality control is spreading very thin.
It only took me 5 minutes to start cringing at this show. American gringo with fake Russian accent. Currently there doesn’t seem to go one American show/movie by without a dig at Russia. It's okay, but could they seriously not find a native Russian actor? Is this so hard for Hollywood?
Nope. Just nope.
First, too soon. We're still in a middle of a pandemic.
Acting sucks, editing sucks.
As a Stephen King fanatic, this is just offensive. The mini-series with Gary Sinise was awesome, but this is just surfing the pandemic/heard hype.
This is the biggest waste of 3 hours you will ever do. I had nothing else to watch and sat through all three episodes (don’t ask me why). Better time would have been spent with me putting my head in a vice. The entire mess could easily have been condensed to 1 ½ hours with some easy editing. Better yet, just play a blank screen and the radio version from 1938 – that would have worked too.
-10/10 Worst EVER!
This show used to be funny and it's also used to be one of my favorite TV shows (hence I initially rated this show a 10 on trakt). But starting from Season 7 the show has becoming redundant and it's going nowhere with its forgettable plots. This seems like the show is now more on the money rather on the quality.
I am so sad to say this but I won't continue watching this show.
