I've enjoyed every second of every episode. I haven't found it boring at all as others have said. The twist had me feeling thrilled - I hate it when I figure out a plot too early and I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't click at all until the maintenance crew man fixed the broken duck in the pond. I'm loving it! Politics, romance, deceit and science fiction. Brilliant stuff. I'm hooked.
I'm so devastated! I just randomly found this show on Disney+. I went in blind and got hooked after the first episode. I just kept binging and was sooooo excited when it was revealed that Olivia was found in 2016. I literally said "Yeeeeesssss!" out loud and waited for it to automatically jump to the next episode and.........nothing. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! WTF?????
Bloody hell - if Qualley isn't considered hot enough then I don't know what your version of hot is.
Woah. What an incredibly ignorant, racist thing to say. This is the ugliest post I think I have ever come across. America had a Black President you idiotic fool - you really don't think a black person could run a Fortune 500 company? This series wasn't being "inclusive" and "woke" - it was just literally depicting realistic characters within a science fiction premise. I honestly cannot fathom how you get through life being such a clueless individual.
Sarah did visit him after he regained consciousness. She wiped his drool. It was a very memorable scene. Hank is short for Henry. And I think she knew about the affair. Him saying “I need to tell you something” made me expect that he was going to confess. Saying he wanted them to be a family instead was a sweet surprise and I let it go.
He didnt say he could - he said he couldn’t. He basically felt inexperienced and shy….he was worried he couldn’t do it like the guy in the movie. Your interpretation and mis-hearing of that one word changes the whole scene. I’m afraid you completely misunderstood what he was saying.
1. It was mentioned by the Grandma that the Mum, Kate was a professor at Yale before losing the baby and battling alcohol addiction and the Dad was an architect. Kate assures him that the client will love his designs as he's leaving for work one morning.
2. Max (young daughter) almost drowned in the pond some time ago so Kate was probably nervous about bathtub water and potential drowning
3. All kids struggle with big changes. He was feeling jealous (Dad was less interested in him over 'new kid' Esther on Xmas day) and bullying (mates paid him out over his 'new sister'). Not having the maturity to identify or deal with such feelings, they lash out.
4. Not sure about that one!
5. Psychos can have talent lol
6. Yeah Dad was under Esther's spell (I gave him props for how he genuinely seemed to love Kate though and he thankfully wasn't a peodophile!)
7. Gotta have suspension of disbelief when watching movies
8. As above
10. And yeah, good point. They were pretty keen to just pretend her life started at the time she was adopted which wasn't right. People have pasts before you meet them.
So the show had people in it. Asian, gay and black people exist - just like privileged white men, racist truck drivers and Karens exist.
It's a movie, not a TV series. If I disliked a pilot of a new TV show and then continued to complain after watching multiple episodes, then I'd see your point. But in this situation, your reply makes no sense. This isn't a negative comment on a film I haven't seen yet. I watched it, developed an opinion as it played out and then I gave it a negative review. I can't choose to unsee it.
Whilst maths is a practical skill that can help one with every day life, poetry is way more than just 'weird talking and shit". In fact, comprehension of the written word helps us understand the world around us. It aids in the development of the mind, encourages critical thinking skills and enables us to articulate our needs and wants in a way that can lead us toward success. The world can be a confusing and scary place, filled with frightening and intimidating people. Having the tools needed to navigate difficult situations and knowing how to express ourselves eloquently can be the difference between failure and success. Not to mention that reading someone else's words and stories can make us feel less alone and misunderstood. Books, music and the spoken word are just as important as science and mathematics.
It was definitely a case of a little subtle CGI. I'm pretty sure t's the standard in film and TV these days. Filters are used so often on apps like TikTok that it's become commonplace. I imagine it's thought of as just another tool like hair and make up.
That was my first thought too but I noticed they gave a little nod to this fact in the scene where Sandra's character is leaving the motel during her book tour. A big banner in the foyer said "Romancing The Page" ;)
I have to agree. I'm so used to Chris Pratt being funny that all of his scenes hit the wrong tone for me. It felt like I was watching a comedic bit filled with mock serious acting. Like an SNL skit where all the drama is overacted with over the top facial expressions and body movement to convey 'seriousness'. It was comical without meaning to be. It ironically made it clear to me how good Tom Cruise is with this sort of stuff....I'm so disappointed with Tom as a person that I forget that he's actually a great actor for these types of roles. He plays seriousness realistically which is obviously quite a feat.
So you're saying that the show was full of.....people? Heroes and Villains, Gay and Straight, Clever people, Stupid People. When I leave for work in the morning, I wave to my neighbour who is Asian. When I grab my morning coffee I often get served by a non Anglo Saxon person and my favourite workmate just happens to be gay. Holding a mirror up to real life isn't 'woke'. Only casting white, straight people is more unrealistic than just including everybody we see in our real lives everyday.
Ironically, your'e complaining that 'nothing happened' in this movie which is exactly the entire point of the whole film: young, impressionable women were being used, abused, and silenced by this entitled movie executive and yet despite the protagonist caring about what was going on, nothing happened. No one wanted to speak up and challenge him on his awful and despicable behaviour. Do you get it now?
She was the only good actor in the whole series.
I'm responding to this post 11 years later but this series from my childhood was just put up on Prime and I had ALL of these thoughts. Utterly ridiculous plot line :D :D :D
"I'll show you, you murderous bastard, by making love to you by candle light!"
I just rediscovered this series from my childhood. I was 9 y/o when this came out and I thought it was such an exciting adult drama at the time. Now watching it as an adult, I also found the plot completely laughable. Her whole plan was so messy and confusing. I'll exact revenge on you, you murdering bastard by making love to you by candlelight and stopping your lover from getting sloshed. Then she chases Greg's plane as he attempts to leave and cries as he crash lands. I didn't understand Stephie/Tara at all. And you're right; Jilly was just as much a victim as Stephanie was. In fact, amongst all the wooden and melodramatic acting, Wendy Hughes played her part incredibly well. She knew how to pull off being drunk without all the over-acting some actors seem to be guilty of. I blame the director for all the knuckle biting and leaning against walls that even Wendy played out in some scenes. When she was just left to act how she wants, she stood out as the best player in the bunch. James Reyne should stuck to singing - his performance was comically bad.
What a great reply - I like this reasoning a lot :)
