Hella dumbed down version of the original, choosing to spell out everything every step of the way, and to the point that, for all of us who loved the REAL Utopia, ALL the intrigue and life was sucked out of my eyeballs until the arrival of Arby and the co-cleaner. However Christopher Denham was trying WAAAAAY too hard to imitate Neil Maskell's brilliant mannerisms, thus causing you to pine for the original, and, thereby pulling you out of the story. Those unfamiliar with the story will be entertained, seeing as "Gone Girl" author Gillian Flynn still can craft a decent storyline. Sadly, she is just regurgitating an updated millennial imitation of the BBC version, skewed for the short attention span viewer. I'll give it a couple more episodes, cuz, sometimes chicken McNuggets and blue box Mac and Cheese are all you can afford, and they still fill you up.
@DaBotchLad - Scowling, dread locked Jessica Hyde, is no match for the beautiful yet terrifying Fiona O'Shaughnessy..., just saying!
Sato’s quick peace sign in the middle of a super tense scene absolutely killed me :joy:
Was it just my own dead-dad issues talking or did Jen's goodbye to her father make anyone else cry? It was beautifully done.
Nice growth for Carrie and for Kash... That ending though? Bit of a shitty cliffhanger tbh!
Honestly one of the worst episodes to date and that includes the Kill Bill 'Buried Alive' episode. This episode completely lacks heart. The most interesting part is Monk getting better only to backslide at the end. This entire episode was based on making a great trailer where you think Trudy might be alive. In the end there's no real mystery, the murderer isn't revealed and everything sort of collapses again just to re-traumatize Monk.
As proven again and again, Jake doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.
I hope everybody is having a cheesy day
I wonder why they made this episode?
The trauma of loss is too great for Monk, which is why I don't understand how they made him go through this twice.
Hearing Werner's last words to his wife, I mean watching him yelling at her to save her life is literally broke my heart.. and when Mike shot Werner.. I just can't stop thinking his wife's emotional state when she learn Werner is dead..
That was... unexpectedly powerful. I really love the fact they mixed things up a little this week.
Carrie Coon and Regina King both deserve Emmys for that DSD questionnaire scene alone.
Alright, I'm calling it right now: this is the most graphic gay sex scene of 2017, maybe all time.
The first scene where he is living the same day over and over to get his wife to wake up is so sad. Again I love the music on this show.
I’m not sure why people are saying this is a solid start, it’s stumbling at best. Not saying it cant get there, maybe that’s why they released two episodes to start, will see where it goes
With one episode left, we get...was this an episode? Felt a bit more like an admission that they've never had any idea where they wanted this to go...
I really can't get into this and the noir season. I hope it's not the case, but it looks like Adam Reed is trying to hide the fact that he has run out of ideas for the show by putting the characters in different, outrageous settings. But it isn't working for me. It just isn't funny.
Fuck I was right. This is the first time I actually guessed something important in this brilliant mess of a show. When Meg was talking about how people were starting to forget and how the GR needed to up their game, I was just struck by this idea that only strengthened when she met that girl, and then the whole secret in the barn thing basically cemented it. I thought what if they kidnapped those girls from the supposedly safe town so everyone would think that the disappearance's happened again, so no one will feel save?
I wasn’t sure how this was going to end but I liked it. Very existential in many relatable ways. Highly recommended.
I’ve always liked Lizzy Caplan and I like her so much more now. What a great performance by everyone in this show.
Only my least favourite episode of this show ever. Was this even Mr. Robot? Or did I accidentally watch This Is Us?
The commissioner was annoying and unbelievable. Very distracting character who seems to have walked in from a different movie.
occasionally good
I was whelmed
So... concept episode. No talking. Dialogue isn’t the strong suite of this season anyway.
I have absolutely nothing to say except that this was great, unique, hilarious, surreal, mindblowing. So sad it was a limited series, but I guess that’s part of its greatness.
And I don’t know what I would’ve done, cause I don’t think mrs davis was that awful, like yes it was awful, but acts of kindness that were rewarded digitally, like with filters and levels? That seems the only way most people would so something good, but it was a vice that needed to be cured.
I do wanted to see who was running mrs davis now tho, or a little more about the open code thing, I don’t know what that implies.
Seems the bakers are not as good as the first season. They didn't touch the real objects before. That's cheating. They made their cakes look so good that they didn't need to touch the real objects.
This whole season has felt weird to me. It hasn't been nearly as good as previous seasons.
Well, this episode is funny, but complete BS and over the top.
Really awesome to see Joel Haver in this one! :scream: Thought it was going to be a short cameo but he really delivered in his major role!
Love how they pulled a perfect bullet out of him at the end lmao.
That ending scene was ridiculous, bordering on absurd.
This definitely isn't for everyone, but ohhhh it was for me. Goofy, crazy and nerdy, but alsof really wel acted and written.
