Amazing questions, disappointing answers. They might have been just making stuff as they went along, but the adventure was still mind-bogglingly great.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Cool, mysterious atmosphere | Ultimately disappointing story |
| Fascinating, profound, likable characters | |
| Captivating mystery plot |
I watched this as a kid on TV because magic and demons sounded cool. It made me believe that the medium of TV series is just not for me until I re-discovered them 10 years later with Lost. Thanks for keeping me away from the whole medium for a decade.
| Posiive: | Negative: |
| Interesting concept | Concentrates on ridiculous romance more than actual magic |
|
Obnoxious characters
|
|
| Repetitive plot | |
| Boring |
Cowboys in space sounded a lot cooler on paper.
| Posiive: | Negative: |
| Cool premise | No interesting overarching story |
| Stops without a proper conclusion | |
| Boring |
An exciting, suspenseful adventure through space. Almost Philip K. Dickish with the paranoia angle, you never know who might be the cylon, hehe.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Fascinating space opera setting | A few boring filler episodes |
| Cool futuristic atmosphere | |
| Interesting, likable, profound characters | |
| Captivating plot fueled by paranoia | |
| Good story | |
| Profound knowledge of politics | |
| Thought-provoking on artificial intelligence |
If this show was properly finished it might have been the best thing to grace TV ever. Highly recommended if you like surreal, smart shows with fascinating characters. Also, if you like Silent Hill.
Definitely the best thing David Lynch ever did.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Great, artistic direction | Second season loses focus |
| Fantastic creepy atmosphere | Unfinished |
| Great music | |
| Captivating, mysterious plot | |
| Full of great twists | |
| Fascinating, quirky characters | |
| Great acting |
The first few episodes gave me an impression it’s gonna be boring, but it totally got me later. A must watch if smart realistic shows and politics are your thing.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Good opening | The story never feels it’s about something big |
|
Profound characters
|
Relationship issues sometimes make the series feel like a soap opera |
|
Gripping plot
|
Some plot threads go nowhere |
|
Social commentary on drug war and other ineffective political policies
|
|
| Fantastic depiction of Baltimore |
The setting is very interesting and characters are nice, but the story has absolutely no idea where it wants to go. These guys are obviously just making stuff as they go.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Competently written characters | People in advertisement are vacuous and inherently annoying |
| Authentic 1960s setting |
Absence of an actual story
|
| Overabundance of snuggling scenes |
Err… It’s not as smart as it thinks, but it’s still a clever show. Definitely recommended if you are into politics.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Interesting, fascinating protagonist | Characters feel uneven and forced at times |
| Engrossing mind-games | Story feels lost at times with new plot-lines being introduced and old ones abandoned unsolved |
| Gives insight into the politics of the White House | Some supposedly ingenious plans work out only due to sheer luck or someone being stupid |
This is one of the dumbest shows I have ever seen.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Hannibal is a cool character | Barely fleshed out supporting cast |
| Imaginative murders | Absolutely terrible writing goes straight from one plot hole to another |
| No investigation, everything gets solved by magic powers | |
| Frantic pace | |
| Dubious knowledge about FBI work and psychopathy |
The premise is really cool and the show runs strong for a few seasons before totally falling apart in the later half. Good fun up until season four or so.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Awesome premise | Totally falls apart in the later seasons |
| Likable characters | |
|
Suspenseful plot
|
I was lukewarm in the beginning, bored in the middle and totally captivated near the end. It might be uneven but the ending delivers, believe me.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Interesting, likable characters | Family problems get old and annoying |
| Exciting plot | Can be a bit boring in the middle when pace slow downs |
|
Good story about one man’s descent to evil
|
It’s suspenseful. It’s fun. It’s also sometimes stupid. Still a good watch though.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Good cliffhangers | Some inconsistencies in the plot |
| Good twists | Heavy on twists, light on substance |
| Good pace | Boring characters |
| Interesting idea |
