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 would prefer watch a black and white russian movie with 7 hours than watching this piece of garbage again
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.
English fans are the worst fans on the planet. Always have been, always will be. Enjoy your 1966 dreams forever.
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
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.
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.
This felt like required reading for the movie…it seems like Elemental flopped because it was TOO personal and buried in a relatively high concept
Absolutely stellar miniseries.
Emotionally draining, but very rewarding at the same time.
I hope Kim's character gets brutally murdered this season. There, I said it.. and I know I'm not the only one :smiling_imp:
“Just to know ! Does this season has woke stuff?? So i can skip like the other season”
Last season was about the AIDS epidemic. Gay people do not equal woke. I highly suggest you figure out the correct use of the term or stay far away from everyone.
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.
All I can say is: I should've watched it sooner. I started to watch it a little bit skeptical but found myself laughing at the jokes and rooting for Emmet throughout his journey. A definitely pleasant surprise.
We used to build a huge city out of Legos, and then rain fire on it with marbles when the parents left...ahhhhhhh the 80's were a better time
Far more fun than the concept really had any right to be, braving new horizons while still remaining loyal to the beating heart of the product and its passionate generations of fans.
Simply enough, this is a perfect encapsulation of the kind of imagination, enthusiasm, adaptation and sheer randomness that runs like lifeblood through the spirit of a happy childhood. It jabs in delightfully unexpected directions. It bends physics without an explanation (nor a need for one). It casually hops from one licensed fantasy to another, mashing Green Lantern with Gandalf, and doesn't even slow down to consider the repercussions.
At the best of times, I felt like I was a kid again myself, lost in nostalgia and the infinite potential locked away within every new block. And while the last act overreaches in an effort to really hammer the morals home, otherwise this is pretty much a direct hit. Crafty, funny writing, a dazzling array of vocal talent and a playful, distinct visual style - this is the kind of family film I can always make room for.
What an incredible story, with so many layers, I've honestly lost count.
Please watch it to the very end, it is worth it, believe me! I thought the movie was super average at best, especially towards the end, but there was a specific scene that the moment it happened, certain things about the story clicked, and it became beyong relatable for me within the span of a single second.
To say I'm pleasantly surprised is a grave understatement.
To conclude: everything is awesome.
It’s so funny to me how this kids movie with lego characters has deeper and more challenging things to say than most movies that are made for adults.
The way that this is constructed as a narrative is truly genius.
It’s essentially a big ode to creativity, but it also takes a firm stance about how corporatism can ruin it by favouring predictability and stability.
Not to mention that it also looks great, the voice acting is top notch and the animation is inventive.
And it manages to be funny for all ages.
It feels a bit too long though, which comes as a result of it being as fast paced as it is and makes it overstay its welcome.
The Lego Movie is ridiculously fun while offering more than just that. Richly layered plot, fantastic animation and a sense of humor that is self aware offer more than what you expect.
