Should I binge...


It's on Netflix now and I keep skipping past because I know it's an mtv show (usually get cancelled after 1st season unless it's teen wolf ) I'm bored of waiting from all my favourite American shows to start again and need something to take up my free time. So my question is, Should I binge watch or am I wasting my time

You may want to skip this one based on all of the reviews I've read here. I'm going to avoid it,but that's just me. I usually try new shows but I've never read the books and my gamble on Being Human turned out great. However,with the amount of negative comments from readers of the book series,I'm going to give this one a pass.

Watch it and see for yourself. It's just 10 42 minute episodes and I'm pretty sure everyone has wasted that much of time on far worse things in life. I am a huge Terry Brooks fan and read all of his works and I think the show is good. Might be even better if you haven't read the books because you would not need to nitpick every single thing that is changed/different from the book. There are plenty of goofs and things that don't quite make sense but nevertheless it is not enough IMO that keeps it from being a very attractive and entertaining series. There is indeed a season 2 on the way with the details forthcoming.

Thanks, I've decided to give it a shot. I'm on 3rd episode now and it's not too bad. Got to say the first 5 minutes had me enticed, I wanted to see if she would make it the te end of the race aha

Plus Manu Bennett and Austin Butler are easy on the eye

Finished eps. 8. It's a decent show. Acting and action sequences are not to great. But as someone else mention, it is only 10 eps.

What's the difference?




It's kind of dumb, but it also has it's enjoyable moments.

It has its own bizarre mythology which is kind of interesting. And it has moments that are stupid and annoying.

It's a mediocre show.

I just finished binging S1 on Netflix and I enjoyed it. I kept passing it by because, as you said, it's MTV, but I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it.

I've never read the books, so I can't compare, but I liked it and can't wait for S2.

I quite enjoyed it. I think because I hadn't read the books I liked it more because I was comparing it.
