Hooked from the start

I'm a big fan of this kind of TV show, I was hooked from the 1st episode and couldn't wait for the next one each week. The storyline was carried though very well and acted very well by the 2 main characters. It has made me want to read the books it is based on to see what's next for this series

Mothergamer (1586 KP) rated A Series of Unfortunate Events in TV

I just powered through the 3 seasons because sometimes it felt like the episodes dragged on. I understand that it was supposed to be absurd, but sometimes it was absurd to an annoying degree. I feel the books were better in this sense, but it's harder to put everything into a TV series. I do think the cast was well thought out and they did a great job, but by the time I got to the end I was just glad to be done with it.

Starts brilliantly, but now starting to drag...

I love zombie films, so a zombie (or walker as the "z" word is never mentioned) tv show really appealed. And to begin with, The Walking Dead really impresses.

The first season is such a good debut, Andrew Lincoln does very well as Rick - can hardly believe it's Simon from Teachers. The visual and physical effects are fantastic and the walkers are truly scary. Character development over the initial few series too is very good and you come to care about a lot (and hate a lot) of them. The first maybe 5 series I can't really fault too much. There's dips, but it always come bouncing back with some shock deaths or interesting characters like the Governor.

The problem is with the last couple of series. Everything has become a bit too samey - meet a hostile group, become scared & abused by the group, people get killed and then Rick's group manages to overcome them. The walkers have pretty much taken a back seat. Personally I think they should try and end the series soon instead of dragging it out too far.

Shauny (14 KP) rated Star Trek: Discovery - Season 1 in TV

Feb 3, 2021

Fast pacing, mostly good acting across the cast, amazing visual effects, high quality production, a decent plotline (0 more)

The series big plot twist was slightly rushed, did not enjoy the romance plot line between two characters, some of the acting is over done(but giving it's star trek I can forgive that) it's really dar (0 more)

So, I started the series with high hopes and ended it slightly underwhelmed. The first few episodes are fairly gripping if a bit fast paced, but the immediate action ment that I was invested in the plot straight away. The visual effects are stunning, having just watched the original series it's almost jarring to see a star trek series that looks so modern and realistic, the production quality really ups the standard of this show. The overall acting of the show is okay, I particularly enjoyed Sonequa Martin-Greens performance of Micheal. However, I wasn't so keen on her character being the center of the entire plot, and her seemingly endless skills and knowledge, I'm not a huge fan of the 'chosen one' character trope. Compared to the origin star trek series, Discovery is very dark and pessimistic. It's a lot more war focused, a long way away from the original series more optimistic and 'utopian' future. That being said, just because it isn't like the original star trek, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have it's one appeal. The series has an overarching storyline, each episode relating directly to the next, so if your looking for some light watching, this might not be the show for you. There is a particular plot twist near the end of the series that I really enjoyed but felt was slightly rushed, and of course some plot holes but that's inevitable with a show like this. Overall, it's an enjoyable TV series, I would definitely recommend giving it a watch ( just don't go in expecting it to be like other star trek series). Not only is it visually stunning to watch, the plot is engaging, they're are many references that star trek fans will enjoy, and the cast is extremely diverse and refreshing as well!
