i liked it until the end... HATED the last 2 episodes... did not mind the conclusion though...

 

[GNG]

A very weak production.

My thoughts on the finale...

Spoiler

i hate time travel re-writes. It is the laziest tool used by sci-fi writers. Paint yourself into a corner, then just rewind and do something different. The consequences in the story don’t mean anything. How can I get emotionally invested in a story if none of the actions truly have consequences?

i dont mind time travel rewrites assuming a show does it well... Did not understand the time travel rewrite in the middle of the season to wipe out a couple episodes... But what i hated the most is the lets save Alison, but Lets imprison and then kill #7... besides for alison, nobody wanted to save #7... Nobody even cared about her the whole show... sure, that was the point, but just bad writing to make it NOT HER FAULT...

Take away my problems I mentioned earlier, this is kinda the way I thought they should have done the Suicide Squad movie. Make the first baddy an external baddy so when the Entrantress turns against the team, it has some emotional weight to it.

I am not a fan of some of the mechanics used in the show, but the general story was fine.

I am surprised they never mentioned any of the other kids that the Monocle was not able to adopt. If they all have powers, wouldn’t the other 130 (or however many) be wreaking havoc on the world without the proper training?

It's just meh for me....

 

[redseat]

How did they not know she was the reason for the Apocolyps?

I just watched the first episode I am not buying into it. That guy with the big muscles looks really weird like why is his head normal but the rest of his body is big? Maybe I should give it more time I haven't been impressed with these Netflix shows recently

 

[nynasty]

Huh. I thought it was excellent overall.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

I watched about 15 minutes and thought it was dumb.

that gets explained...

I watched about 15 minutes and thought it was dumb.

hell, i'm not even three minutes in and am asking myself, what the fuck.

I wouldn’t waste another second.

 

[Taddy Mason]

I wouldn’t waste another second.

i may take you up on that. so, 43 people miraculously became pregnant, this fucking weirdo somehow bought 7 of them... yeah, you lost me when you tried to make that whimsical with the music choice.

 

[Taddy Mason]

I wouldn’t waste another second.

switched to behind the curve. figure it seems like another ridiculous premise (based off the intro), but it's only 90 minutes long

I watched polar a few nights ago. It was okay. Netflix kind of sucks nowadays. I like a few comedy specials, Daredevil, and the Punisher, but the rest of it just sucks. That 80s horror with the kids ain’t bad either, but it’s about to be played out.

Caught Polar the other night, Ruby O. Fee can get it. Moved slower than I would have liked, but wasn't horrible, better than the man that killed hitler and then the bigfoot, really expected more out of that title.
