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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
