God, I NEED more big budget historical shows like this.

Best show for 2024! Love it

Shogun is a great historical adventure set in Japan's past telling the story of the Samurai and their rulers. A Must Watch and I hope the series continues after season 1.

I love me some Samurai TV show! :D

I put this on in the background after reading about the absolute clusterf&%$ that production was. Also only 5 eps, thank god. Knowing how the original pro-victim vision was warped by professional perverts The Weeknd and Sam Levison, this weird, hollow softcore porno serves as a warning to all studios on how you should never kowtow to giant stars or directors, or else you get a 100 million dollar disgusting shit show.

This might be the original Dhar Mann, but less unhinged. If watching on Paramount+ you are missing the "what the [heck] were they thinking" episodes dealing with white supremacy, abortion, etc. Thankfully Freevee fills in the blanks that CBS would prefer you forgot about. Unless you are Kevin Sorbo, this is background viewing.

It gets better and better.. Just wow.. Amazing and mesmerizing. Regina has done a great job. Let's see how the last 2 episodes handle the load.. I'm loving it so far.

First 5 episodes were tedious to get through, but after that the shows began to be a lot more interesting. I hate very slow beginnings.
Overall rating: not bad 7/10

I wasn't expecting to love it this much when I first started watching. But it was just so clever, and every aspect of it, from the acting, and the direction styles, to the cinematography, and the amazing soundtrack (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross are hard to beat), was just so beautifully and precisely crafted to serve the story. The writing in this show genuinely excellent, and often multilayered in its delivery - in particular "She Was Killed By Space Junk", and "A God Walks Into Abar" are especially magnificent.

If you aren't familiar with the Watchmen universe on some level, then it's true, you'll miss some of the references and double meanings that really elevate the show. However I do also think that it's possible to watch it without any prior knowledge, as the show throws everyone into the deep end - fans and newcomers alike, and reveals the state of the world and the characters that occupy it in small increments. If there's something that the audience needs to know, you just have to have a little patience, and a healthy dose of curiosity, and trust that the writers will reveal the necessary information at the right moment. But it's worth sticking around for.

That said, it probably won't be for everyone, and there will undoubtedly be people who find some aspects of it offensive. And that's fair enough. But I will say that while the show is often unflinching in its delivery, it rarely feels gratuitous.

It's true, I'm firmly in the contingent of those who enjoy this type of story, and I'd been looking forward to watching this for a while, but the quality of Watchmen took me by surprise (and I can be quite critical of these things). The story is peculiar (sometimes downright bizarre), and delightful, and fast paced (but then also occasionally meandering), and often unsettling. But providing you like your stories a little weird, there's plenty to stick around for, and Watchmen has some of the best writing I've ever seen in television. I can't recommend it enough.

While taking a break from the emotional turmoil of real-world racial injustice, I finally sat down to binge this. The most timely story we've had in quite awhile, damn. Regina King is superb! Certainly deviates from Alan Moore's source material, and the mess that was the feature film. But the original production that is left is refreshing, historical, prescient, self-aware, and quite necessary. I enjoyed the drama and was grateful for the message. Can't believe it won't be renewed, HBO fucked up on that.

Loved every second of it.

Both of the lead promoters are absolute scumbags but John Scher takes it to the next level. He wasn’t accountable back then and he wasn’t accountable now even with hindsight. You treat people like animals, they turn into animals.

Absolutely stellar miniseries.
Emotionally draining, but very rewarding at the same time.

this show ìs really depressing. I dont know if I like it yet (ep. 03). the music is outstanding tough.

I started watching this show with no/low expectations, but I completed the entire first season and it is probably the best show on television right now! especially, the performance by Louie Anderson, as Christine, it could have been a horrible casting call, but he is spot on as Chip's mother...I laughed, I cried, i'm hooked!!!

I scored all the separate seasons with a 7/10. But strangely enough, I knew deep down that I'd rate it higher in its entirety. It's one of those series that starts with promise but doesn't get greedy enough to be sparkly or eye catching. What it does show off are some brilliant character dynamics showcased through a splendid cast and whenever I felt a little down or simply bored, Baskets was what I wanted to watch. It's one of those shows you feel like you could watch forever and ever like eating cereal or potatoes (whatever your staple is). It's also one of those rare shows where it leaves a little empty spot in the heart that I'm sure I won't be able to fill anytime soon.

Louie Anderson as Mrs. Baskets is pure genius.

I was really waiting for the show to start when i watched the trailer and now... Well

It's terrible.Don't even bother.I can usually see something good in everything(when it comes to tv shows) but this is just pure sh*t,honestly.

They should erect a border wall around this show so no one has to ever see it.

i love adult animation, but this is total crap and totally deserved to be cancelled 1/10

Ms. Marvel episode 1 impressions: First of all, why is Disney shooting these Marvel shows with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio? Shows meant to be shown exclusively on 16:9 displays. It's rather annoying. Especially after they made their huge marketing push of having 16:9 open matted versions of the Marvel movies on Disney+ with the "IMAX Enhanced" label. Seems really backwards to have the Marvel movies in 16:9 and the shows at a wider aspect ratio.

Second biggest problem: WTF did they do to her powers? This isn't faithful to the comics at all. Why is her ability this weird energy crystal power instead of polymorphing? And instead of getting her powers from having Inhuman genes, they made her get her powers from magic bracelets? It's like if they made Spider-Man shoot lasers instead of webs. She might as well be a totally different character.

In fact, making the source of her powers come from magic instead of from a genetic modification is a hilarious blunder as magic is considered haram in Islam. They might as well have made her a super fundamentalist Christian superhero who gets her powers from witchcraft.

I could excuse the strange casting choices that made Kamala and Bruno look too young compared to their comic counterparts if it weren't for the fact they ruined her powers. The constant shapeshifting body horror of the comics was central to Kamala's character.

For me this is another hatewatch just like the Halo series. Like Halo, while it has some things that appeal to fans of the original lore, it has many other aspects that drag it down and make it difficult to fully enjoy the show.

MODERATOR EDIT: Be more respectful.

The TV episode is an hour and a half, 2 parts. The episodes are also out of order, at least according to Netflix.

My god…it was actually Jeff Wise this whole time! :rolling_eyes:

Fascinating... but also cringey and in very bad taste using black and white face as the variable in this experiment.

It had potential. But honestly the massive religious undertones start to become crazy overtones and take the show completely over... And it's no longer interesting anymore. Also the main character is really obnoxious. He needs to pick a lane. Every episode he can't make his mind up and then when he does finally... The next episode, whoop, there we go, all over again, like a crazy person.

Honestly it's just some of the worst writing I've ever seen.

It was annoying that i started watching it, got a little interested, and then couldn't stop watching for a little while because i wanted to know what would happen to characters I had already wasted so much time caring about.

Reminds me of Greys Anatomy. Not surprised - since it's the same network. They really love bad acting, writing and soap opera nonsense.

This Show sucks don't waste your time. I mean seriously so pridictable that tyler was the hyde and the normal teacher was the sister of the guy Gomez supposedly killed. I mean even ray charles saw that coming.

Vastly overrated.

This is basically just a Nancy Drew, Veronica Mars style murder mystery, but placed in a supernatural school.

If you're a 30-40-something year old looking to revisit the Addams Family for some creepy capers and what-not. This isn't for you. This is written for alt-teens who grew up on Disney Channel movies and are now at the point in life where they are trying to rebel. The only thing here for the older crowd is Christina Ricci popping up in a new role.

The show is entirely predictable from the moment the "Hyde" (monster) is introduced. Ask yourself, why are certain character 1 and 2 so prominent in the story? What are they seriously offering?... Oh, it's because they're the bad guy and whoever are the bad guys at the start obviously won't end up being so. There are zero surprises here.

Despite the world it's set in, werewolves, sirens etc., it's entirely unimaginative and lacking in any real depth. Wednesday is just a 15/16 year old kid trying to be a detective and sticking her nose in where she has no business. Everyone keeps telling her to go away and stop and she is just annoying as anything. She also just isn't creepy and at all threatening like Christina Ricci was in the 90s. Jenna Ortega seems to act like she's watched one too many movies of Hollywood depicting an autistic kid and rolled it all into one reclusive bundle. It doesn't help that the script is bad and cheesey to be fair to her but again, she's just a kid devoid of giving a crap... with some one liners thrown in to make her sound like she's threatening or creepy here and there just to remind you she's Wednesday Addams and not Veronica Mars.

I fell asleep three times trying to watch through some of the middle episodes.

Oh... and the CGI on the Hyde monster. HORRIBLE. So cartoon. If you want to be reminded "this is definitely not realistic", that CGI covers it off nicely for you.

The grand standing on social issues is out of control from s4 onward. Grey’s Anatomy has also succumbed to this horrible, lazy, LAZY writing. The issues of our time deserve better. Look at Atlanta, that show has literally changed my worldview because of the superb writing, meanwhile Station 19 entrenches me in the opposition! If I was an actor I’d refuse to do some of these bitch and moan monologues as this show would be hurting my career at this point.

Seasons 1 through 10 or 11, good, if not a great SMART and sexy medical drama with some complicated yet likeable characters to root for. Seasons 12+, a DUMB, ever worsening dumpster fire. From season 12 onwards we lose nearly all of the original characters and replaced with literal lunatics who are horribly unlikeable, have no business being anywhere near the healthcare industry, and their love lives could be described as sex addicts enabling sex addicts with no acknowledgment this is not normal. The ratings keep justifying it's existence, it's a juggernaut in the women demos even after 18 seasons, but why? There are so many better things to bounce to. I get paid to do this and watch it passively so whatever, but most of you do this for free lol
