I've been curious about this but the reviews haven't been too kind. They;re saying its veeery slow and the characters are not very interesting and it takes too much time to get going. Idk, I'll wait to hear what you guys say.![]()
Bloody hell the pilot was an hour long lol look I have no idea what I was going on. They crammed in way too much into this pilot with trying to estaished all the charcaters. There was lack of focus, confusing storyline. I mean okay, premise is simple. Somehow this lady who sees things that other people can't ( she was on drug in the first scene, I'm not hot gen sure if it was the drugs that were causing her to hallucinate and see things or it was her super powers or whatever )kills herself and then suddenly all these people from around the world Are linked to each other without any explanation whatsoever.
Literally, some scenes felt like that scene from AoU where Wanda warps Thor's mind and he walks into his vision In a different location. That happened to two characters in this film. I get the idea of what this is suppose to be but its way too slow placed and the buildup to the final moments of the pilot came out of nowhere and was more like wtf is going on? That's what the whole pilot felt like. It jumped from flashbacks to hallucinations to present day to different locations, characters ugh it was a mess. Way too much **** going on. Now I haven't watched the second episode and I'm already losing interest fast.
The characters are just I dunno cliche, there's an African kid who has a dying mother who he's struggling to take care of her, a lesbian couple, a Mexican actor, a cop who has a good heart and deals with gangs in black neighborhoods. A kid trying to live his fathers legacy and an aspiring DJ girl. Oh and a Korean girl whos a victim of sexism in her workplace but she's good at martial arts.. All these characters have some sort of personal struggle going on. Granted thats all well and good. In fact a good link but why were they given this sense or whatever it is?
Long story short, pilot is a mess, slow paced, confusing, weird editing and there's lack of focus and a coherent story here. Cool ideas but it just didn't mesh well IMO. I get pilots set up future episodes but they should also set up the status quo of the season and go from there. This failed at that. This is for binge watching. Had this been on television, 2nd episode would lose 3/4 of the viewers from the pilot. I'm not hooked but its a 5.5/10 for me.
Bloody hell the pilot was an hour long . . .
With all due respect this post/review is ridiculous, I haven't watched the show yet and definitely plan to but how can you rate anything based on one episode. Not to mention with the way Netflix works the show could have been made with the notion that viewers would binge it. The show could be terrible but won't you need to watch it in its entirety to determine that? Or later episodes could aid in making episode 1 all the better, like certain confusing plot points answered in later episodes.
One thing this show is good at are the nude/sex scenes, they are all kinds of hot. HBO/Showtime need to take notes
