Better than I expected and overall an entertaining watch, even more so if you’re actually from South London. Yeah there’s the odd plot hole and some arcs drag on a little …. but super proud of this production and what it represents. Bring on S2!

Heroes meets Top Boy. A fairly basic script but serviceable in the end. Much, much room for improvement. And so ballsy of Netflix to launch it in the middle of The Boys' season, when this one would look nothing but amateurish.

Your typical, braindead, clichéd Action Jackson - show with plenty of ridiculous plot holes, uninteresting characters and so on. It's not downright terrible, it just isn't fun, interesting or engaging. In other words, it's boring.

I know plenty of folks dislike this show for "ideological" reasons, but those folks dislike anything that trips their snowflakery, The real problem with this show is much simpler... bad/lazy writing and Disney just running the cash-machine until it bursts into flames.

A Star Wars show without the wars where it’s not about good vs evil but frozen meets kill bill. WTF does that mean (Leslye Headland actually said this in an interview)?

This show has all the hallmarks of just another vanity project from a narcissistic writer who can’t see past their own reflection and identity who has limited creative imagination.

These are the people in charge of Star Wars now and it’s not ever going to change. Time to put the Star Wars, fans used to know, to rest and accept the turd dropped by Disney and their push to make modern audience feel good about themselves instead of you know “entertainment and imagination”.

Dear lord , this show looks like it's not a Star Wara IP. It's almost like a fan made show - that's how bad the acting , direction , screenplay is.

Even the sets they've used look so cheap and artificial.

I don't even know how this show got greenlit in the first place.

With his friendly naïve face, Woo Do Hwan channels Lee Je Hoon for me (which isn't a complaint or anything!), especially in the first episodes, when he's all smiles and super polite.

Besides a few minor complaints that would be spoilers, the action sequences are very very good.

Tonally inconsistent (in the Vincenzo way) and the script relies on a lot of zero-IQ stuff to add, well, extra melodrama?

The last third veers a bit far into nonsense, especially the outcome – to a large degree presumably due to the FL actress being nuked from Korean society.

The story felt kinda weak towards the end which felt really rushed and filled with small plotholes.

But the bromance between the two and all the action scenes makes it all worth it.

I think I've watched every episode, no bullshit, 50 times each and they still make me laugh my ass off

Unironically the best show to watch while hanging out and smoking weed and filling your belly with diet soda in between your sessions of playing Burnout Revenge for the PS2

This is easily one of my favorite shows now. It's absurd, funny, and has a lot of fun twists. No description of the show can explain the vibe of this show well enough.

[HBO Max] It works best when the main character becomes a supporting character, especially in the final episodes. One of the problems is that they doesn't know how to fit Jake's character into the criminal plot, which is the most interesting and the one that gets the most tension. As fictional as, some say, the real Jake Adelstein's own experiences, the series works well as a crime thriller.

"All art is propaganda."

Blown away. How can a superhero show about a 13 feet tall man become such a vessel at exposing capitalism and make you realize how grim the world is?! Not only that but the sci-fi fantasy elements are top notch. It essentially feels like The Boys where you have people with powers but every power the characters have felt like a political or social commentary of some sort, my favorite has to be Flora (Olivia Washington) being too fast for the world meant she had to slow down. Some really good humor throughout too, especially when Walton Goggins is around. The animated segments make South Park look like child's play. So stylish and creative with the world building and the visuals. The effects for Cootie are well-made they never really faltered. Felt very isolated and claustrophobic in the first episodes. Enjoyed every character. Awesome ending. I want more!

Boyoyoyoyoying

How to put it all into words. Dumb characters. Weak acting. Disappointing story. Plenty of Butts. Why?

Overly convoluted with characters that are difficult to keep track of and very little by way of payoff at the end of the season.

Watching the trailer it seemed like a really interesting show. Unfortunately the show itself was not as good in the end. There's too many characters you have to keep track of and you constantly get confused who's who now as people look so alike sometimes. All the scandals, time travel and so on makes you dizzy. Some parts of the story seem really involving but then they kind of screw up and it's not as amazing anymore. Most annoying was the music… the same "thrilling" sound effect for every single scene… even if it's not even remotely thrilling…

I loved season 1 but after it finished the show had a sharp decline in quality.
The tense mysterious atmosphere had been raplaced by a human experimantation plot intertwined with a undeveloped political conspiracy that no one even tries to explain. Among the new characters we have a stereotypical corrupt politician, stereotypical junkie delinquents, a killer whoes shamanic rituals and beliefs were also never explained and one of the main characters of the first season was turned into a demonic boogeyman. At this point I feel as if Fortitude is geting the Wayward Pine treatmant, as if Sky atlantic wanted to continiue the show but non of the directors and writers did, so they got an entirely new crew.
My recomendation is watch Season 1 and pretend it ended there if you can.

You know whats terrifying about this series? The mothers mind obviously cracked but she acts normal and thinks she has done NOTHING WRONG. The grandmother was a fool as well. Really terrifying doco worth a watch in my eyes.

Intriguing and suspenseful little mini series. The acting is great (Charles Dance steals the show of course), and it has a simple yet very interesting plot. It really kept me wondering what was going on, with a pretty unexpected ending.

That's just the thing though - the ending was pretty unexpected - almost to the point where it just seemed somewhat random. I mean, I'm not sure how that ending was 100% plausible, and it's not like the show tried to convince us otherwise either. But the show was about suspense and it really delivered there.

Very well crafted docu-series. It took into consideration many different approaches to the tragic event when 38 members of the Heaven's Gate community took part in mass suicide. Interviews of the former members and family members of deceased were really thought-provoking and touching. Not just a sensationalist piece, the series was really interesting watch.

Now there's a blast from the past. And you know what ? It still works most of the time. Had some really good laughs and you really can't afford to blink as there are so much things going on in every scene. Great word play, too. But there is also a lot of repeating of the same jokes in every episode. At two and a half hours you can watch this on a leisurely afternoon.

Before there was a Naked Gun, there was Police Squad! — a short-lived ABC comedy from Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers. The show follows Sergeant Frank Dreblin, Detective Lieutenant (played by Leslie Nielsen), as he investigates cases with a special unit of the LAPD. The comedy is hysterical; using a combination of sight gags, word play, and slapstick. Ahead of its time, the series also includes bits of meta humor; such as an unreliable narrator reading different episode titles than what appears on screen, fake freeze-frame gages at the end of the episodes, and killing the episode’s special guest star in the title sequence. However, the jokes are rather hit-and-miss and the writing is weak; as the stories are just there to setup the jokes. Yet despite its problems, Police Squad delivers a lot of laughs.

What a waste of time.

Fleishman is in Trouble has got everything. The actors are great and perfectly cast, it’s visually ambitious and there’s such rich writing, that tackles midlife crisis, couples in troubles, abuses, nevrosis, bad healthcare, classwar, parenthood, small hypocrisies, trauma, being unable to communicate and everything else you could think of. It’s maybe a bit stretched here and there but when it works it’s amazing and that penultimate episode is out of this world.

Superb commentary on middle age. The last few episodes have much to say and are not light viewing. Highly recommended and will watch again at some point and/or read book.

Do your self a favour if you really want to watch this, only watch the first and last episode as it will feel like an utter let down if you invest time in watching it all, the show is designed to get you thinking about the finale and boy is it an utter disappointment. when you get to the end.

The story is ok, not great not terrible. Given it’s just 6 episodes is easily bingeable. More episodes and it would’ve been unbearable but six is ok. One of the big problems is Nicole’s botox. She has the emotional range of a brick. There are so many cases when she should show some kind of emotion yet she’s just sitting there like a brick. It’s scary sometimes.

Anyone one looking to start this, I got advice for you...Just don’s. Seriously, you can’t undo the time you will lose from watching this crap that has piss poor story, lazy acting, terrible script, and has been actors. How, in their right mind, anyone would pay for Nicole Kidman to start in their show. She literally has no facial expression. Here’s to 6 hours of my life I will never be able to undo.

Wow...this was absolutely heartbreaking to watch. RIP to the innocents involved.

Very good series, the story plods a bit in places but overall quite impressed. They definitely went with a Guy Ritchie style to this which mostly works but the slotting in of rock music tracks every so often becomes immensely annoying and really breaks the immersion, that aspect just didn't work at all!
