Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
mukul1904 Season 1: 9 Season 2: 10 Season 3: 7This show answered many questions then I was expecting it would give But last was moved to more romantic genre and it still ticked me as I'm not a huge fan of genre Like Lost, the show remained mystical in the end, holding reasons of many plot-points but what started as a dark-mystery-supernatural show ended as dark-sad-biblical-romatic show. Unlike this one, Lost never escaped its core genre. Now I know I'm comparing it too much with Lost. This show is still quite good and surely worth a watch I missed Amy's character.
mossikukulas-21314 I went into this TV show without knowing a lot about it. The premise of 2% of the world's population disappearing without any explanation is intriguing and in many ways it's not what you watch it for.I was really enjoying the journey of this TV show in all its wackiness and unpredictability but I gotta say I was seriously let down by the ending. I wasn't expecting everything to be spoonfed to be but at the same time I am so annoyed when writers present this dilemma, did she actually travel to the 'other side' or is she making it up. The show very cunningly cuts out that scene just before the tank fills so she could have said she wants to abort and we'd be none the wiser. As far as I'm concerned this is a cop-out. Having said that it's not as infuriating as the finale of Lost that still makes me angry to this day but it could have been so much more. Even if they had shown 10 seconds of what happened to Nora and how she appeared it would have been so much better.Also there are so many unanswered questions and plotlines and plot holes (what happened with the murdered Ausie cop or the injured one - can't just walk away from that) and all sorts.In summary for me this was so close to being one of the best TV shows of all time but the journey was still enjoyable. I'm envious of the people that were satisfied with that ending because for me it was a cop-out. I don't regret watching it though. It was a fun ride.
sportsnut-66935 This show at its best is great television, but at its worst is a snooze fest. I had heard glowing reviews from people, so I wanted to like this show, but I couldn't get into it enough. Most of the reviews I read here are written just after the pilot, and my firm belief is that you should never review a show until you watch the whole thing. The pilot is rough but it gets progressively better. The first season is solid with a coherent plot and frustrating but interesting characters. The second season I've seen people call artsy, but to me it's just annoying. It presents a good mystery in the premiere and then works so slowly to solve it and abandons the plot when it wants to. The finale is awesome as most of this show's finales are, but it was the most dissapointing season. The third season starts out promising and then again loses it, and the finale, is poetic but predictable and boring.The acting is great and I was very surprised by the quality of Justin Theroux. Carrie Coon, Christopher Eccleston and Amy Brenneman were the heavy hitters, and they are the saving grace of the show. I'm all for shows that emphasize character development but this show is a bit overkill on it. The third season abandons some characters and really on focuses on Kevin and Nora the majority of the time, which was also annoying. Overall this show delivered some of the coolest moments on tv, specifically the first season finale, which in my opinion is the show's best episode, but also had some incredibly dull moments which is the show's big ditractor. I truly wanted to like this show, but I just couldn't. It had some very powerful moments and the music is well incorporated but it really all came to nothing, which makes me sad because this show had such great potential. 6/10 is generous for me but I can really rate it any lower because I did enjoy and actually love some of the show's great moments.
carolblack-32046 Wow! This show has a lot of mixed reviews. I just finished watching Season 3. This is my take on it. It's a drama. Not science fiction, not action, not anything else. That being said, I think you would have had to experienced quite a lot of life, loss, grief, denial, blame, avoidance, fear, longing, abandonment, I could go on. Any loss is profound if the attachment emotionally is strong and if a person does disappear in whatever way that may occur it's impossible to grieve effectively as you don't know whether they will ever come back. For those who've made comments on losing someone being minor and that after 3 years why are these people falling apart? The answer is you never get over any loss. Only if you experience loss would you understand what this series is trying to portray and it does so very accurately. The answers to a lot are revealed over time as is often the case in relationships. No one ever reveals everything about themselves all at once. We get to know the characters over time. I give it good as season 3 changed tempo and wasn't as good as the first two. Overall it delivered a lot of different messages on life, living, death, love and regret and many more besides. You need to be able to be patient, think and read between the lines.
