12 Monkeys (TV series)

[calsnowskier]

is this a good show? I can't decide.

I watched S1, but kept waiting for it to deliver. I have watched S2 except for this most recent episode. I just can't get the excitement up enough to actually watch.

Is anyone super excited about this one? Am I struggling too hard to watch a show that is actually crap?

No, it's not crap, it's just kinda... there. I personally like that they've stayed out of the Deux ex machina issues that tend to plague anything with time travel. Plus, they seem to be kinda' stalled this season, with main characters taking on different roles (the blonde is now kicking *ss and shooting people, where as before she was the touchy-feely doctor) She's flip-flopped with the main guy who used to be the terminator, but is now letting people go on hunches.

I'm watching to see where they take the larger concept, but yeah, there's little that makes the show 'must watch' or anything. If it wasn't sci-fi? I would have deep-sixed it a while ago.

I did the same and by the finale, I felt I was wasn't my time. I like the two chicks in it. Especially the crazy one. But I haven't watched season 2.

I am liking it enough.... Definitely a top 5 show on mondays...

I think you answered your own question.

I watched half way through season 1 and then just kinda.......stopped. Sounds like it doesn't get that much more interesting.

I'll say this though, it was better than all that vampire/werewolf/succubus/ghost bullshit they had going on for awhile on Syfy. Seems like they're back on the right track with shows like The Expanse, Dark Matter, etc.

Nothing screams confidence in a show like an episode dump by the network...

 

[calsnowskier]

And for the record, I never did go back to watch those missed episodes and I gave up on the show...

Seriously, maybe they are trying something new. With the success of streaming services, and specifically binging, maybe they are giving in to the new trend and broadcasting to the binger.
