Very entertaining indeed.
Where's my dear fellow, DreamersxDisease?
I like to read you after watching the chapter, man.
Thank you. I completely agree with you, they should've told us quite a bit more by now.
Looking forward the next episode, though.
So do I. A bit. Cheers!
Because without them, this show has nothing to offer.
Watching some green dude on TV is one thing, believing in the existence of a mythological creature is another. That's where the line crosses for sci-fi and fantasy...
Agreed.
Camera placing, the pacing, and choreography were just bad. That didn't allow the show to stand any higher.
I finished this season and without reading ANY critic before... I believe it's just a bag full of nothing.
Thoughts [POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING]:
1. No interesting plot approach or villain's stories, and no real character's development on David.
2. The fighting is plain boring if you've seen Daredevil, basically because the camera placing is undistinguished and so are the choreographies.
3. Supporting actors don't feel real at any point as they're only painted over. (See the good things)
4. And where are the stories? Our stories? I didn't feel a thing except... and I want to highlight the next point so I'm just going to pass to the things I liked:
1. Tom Pelphrey. Yay!-Best thing on the show-I said it.
Just for him, you must watch the show. Absolutely incredible. I never saw him anywhere so my first impression is def good. Yes, he did it terrific... the guy was on another level and he reached certain heights nobody else could, especially if you consider Finn Jones' shaky presence. (Except for the very beginning, in which he was kind of intriguing)
2. Jessica Stroup.
A good character that only adds colour and richness to the Meachums. Heck!, even David Wenham was good as a total pain in the ass.
3. Wai Ching Ho.
Madame Gao is always an interesting person to look at, it's just that they didn't treat her with due respect and turn her into some shallow, boring, unfolding character like anyone else; yes, after that introduction at Hell's Kitchen. Too bad.
4. Clare Temple.
She's always a plus for me, so cheers.
5. Jessica Henwick.
I kind of like her as well and her character wasn't a total disaster, so cheers too.
IN CONCLUSION.
Showtime was mediocre, people in it was not.
Now, let's get ready to The Defenders.
Overall: 6/10
Lol, not quite for me but I get your point.
How can you know?
Yes, he has powers, and yes, he has a maniac soab living inside of his mind, but who knows? I still believe our guy is a schizo.
Is this show airing already? Man, I'm missing the party...
How so? I just saw the first three episodes, so I don't get your point.
Dunno if serious or...
I do. While Mr. Elliot has some issues, Legion's David is batshit crazy.
Couldn't agree more. I'm on my second rewatch rn.
Yeah, she's been very good indeed. They all lost their shit in the last chapter. Only Dan and Aubrey were at the height of it, IMO.
About 9th, I saw that particular scene as the personification of David's inner demons: Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try to convince someone of your love for them as, deep down in their sick minds, they can't really accept it.
Just saw it. Disappointed.
I won't expose my beliefs on this one, I think I'll wait until they decide to give me a damn story. I thought they were 10 chapters, turns out they're just 8. And yet, it has no plot. I'm done.
Hope the last one sums up this mess a little, though.
"I'm such desperate trash trying to talk about this show, lol!"
I get you. I've been there... not anymore though (Mr. Robot)
I believe 'Person of Interest' brings up more awareness about the philosophical implications of AI in a friendlier way. And there he had a harder time trying to figure out how to fill the void of a season with 23 chapters! Here, Nolan tries to change the POV but it has basically the same scope, although it does have some remarkable moments, most of them from the Hosts. But in general, my impression was that: Person of Interest with steroids. However, It's HBO, that's what they do.
Thandie Newton, J. Wright, Wood, all beautiful anyway.
