I am a fan of Michael's and was sad to see him leave NCIS so I was excited to see him lead his own show, that said while its an ok show I too don't see much renew potential. The main character also seems rather isolated without any real connections to other characters, despite being surrounded by them, I am hoping that develops more as the show progresses.

Absolute chore to watch beyond S1. My recommendation for anyone who still hasnt seen this: watch S1, treat it as a miniseries and run away as fast as you can. I got too deep and the completionist in me demands I hate-watch it. It's hot Georgia garbage from S2 on you'll only grow to hate all the characters and just want everyone to die...except Daryl probably. I'm team horde and extinction now, look at what they did to me!

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.

I have so much to say about this show and how bad it is. If you want a excellent supernatural drama, then watch this BUT only from season 1 to 5. The fifth season's finale offers a great ending to the show and after that, everything is just plain bad. The plots stop making sense, they bring back characters just to kill them off and introduce new ones nobody gives a shit about. Think about everything that makes the show amazing, all those characters you love. Well, you'll be lucky if they decide to kill them off, because they managed to ruin Castiel and Crowley's characters to a point where I can't even stand them. Season 10's Crowley is just terrible, all he does is sit on his chair in his castle or whatever the hell that is (look i made a pun) and kill random demons. Regarding Castiel, a lot happens to him after the fifth season, sure, but his character just doesn't evolve. This is so irritating because i was such a huge fan of this show but now i feel like i'm gonna have to drop it.
I can only recommend the 5 first seasons, after that everything is just bad.
Just look at the gap between season 1-5 ratings and season 6-10 (or 11 now, since it has been renewed), and really the only people still defending this show are tumblr hardcore fans and shippers.

I just don't agree with all these comments about just watching the UK version. The Americanized Office worked, why can't this one? That is all you hear, "don't they ever have any ideas of their own?" There are countless attempts at original shows every year and no one watches them either. Starting a show with a built-in audience just make sense sometimes.

And after just seeing the hour premiere, I do enjoy it just as much as the original. They did change some of the characters and im all for the differences.

Unique & original & the cast has good chemistry. really enjoying it :)

This has a great premise and the possibility of being a great show, but if the Brits were doing it they'd make it spectacular and in 8 episodes or less. This is a typical American "how-can-we-drag-a-short-story-into-5-season-before-killing-it-unexpectedly” show waiting to happen. I want to love it, but it just drags on and on. 6/10
Update - someone put a bullet in the back of it's head... about 4 episodes too late. Painfull to watch the further along it went.

I love the show. their speculations and opinions are rather fascinating, and the archaelogical value is just simply amzing. but one question what happened to season 9 & 10?

This is Hot Garbage! I don't know what demographic they are trying to play to, but this hit all the wrong buttons for me. It's like someone grew up watching 4400 and Lost, then decides it would be a great idea to mix it in with The Langoliers. Again, Literal Garbage. Literally Unwatchable. The acting is bad, the forced emotions and religion are bad, and the overall laziness is very annoying. Way to ruin a perfectly good chunk of my brain

I love big mechs and magic as much as the next guy but I really wish they would have kept them out of this one.

Even without a lot of historical facts there is enough here to tell a really interesting realistic story similar to Vinland Saga. But they went a different route. One that I personally don't like at all.

The music is dope tough.

They are clearly trying to be Southland, but it ends up being cheesy. The magic of Southland was how gritty and realistic it was, you can't really get that on network television.

WTF? Is this pretentious bullshit for real?

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

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.

I get that this show is hot at the moment and everyone is talking about it! And I do get that it highlights the issue of bullying in schools and all that! Yes, this does send a message to people to raise awareness and all and I think it is nice! However, I still can't see how is this getting high ratings, I could barely finish the episodes?
To each their own, I guess! right?
Or maybe I'm not liking it because I am not a teen anymore, as this is a teen drama? lol

How is this not on a streaming service yet? This began so many careers and so many franchises, have to see this piece of TV history!

After watching the pilot episode , I'm not hooked yet . I'll give it a few weeks to get better . Pilot had no laughs for me . Casting seems good , especially his Mother . They're kind of in a dangerous genre , first it's a spin-off , and second it's a retro family comedy . There are always lots of family comedies to choose from . Right now in fact one of the best retro family comedies of all time-The Goldbergs- happens to be running . I'm a fan of TBBT , especially Sheldon , but I'm not necessarily going to watch Young Sheldon . November 2 is the scheduled date of the second episode .
Edit - After 5 episodes , I can say that I still don't find the show funny . The male characters seem to be the weakest link in the show . The Father , brother , and Tam are forgettable while his Mother , sister and Grandmother actually have personality . That said , it's still quite watchable for rainy day viewing .

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.
