How does a show manage to have such consistent quality for 16 seasons? Seriously, I don’t know how they did this. I’m scared.
What an odd show to talk about. The first three seasons are generally agreed to be some fantastic comedy, but the two revival seasons are… complicated. Season 4 seemed alright at first, and I got some good laughs from it, but I slowly started to realize while watching that I did not love this show as much as I had previously. It’s a shame, because even though the first 3 seasons never got much traction while initially airing, they’ve gained a cult following over the years, and it’s a shame that the fourth and fifth seasons had to tarnish that legacy. Even so, they aren’t so terrible that I lower the overall ranking that much. I still think this series is worth a solid 8/10 stars.
I’ll never understand why this is so highly regarded. It’s not offensive, exactly, just not remarkable.
Finally things got interesting. This show really wasn’t for me, I thought it really took forever to get good.
It’s like they knew how to make this show good but chose not to until the second season
Half of the comedy is “wow look how gross this family is” but idk it’s still pretty funny (and sometimes genuinely hilarious)
This show is about an incredibly awkward man who tries desperately to appear competent as he helps struggling small businesses. His ideas for how they can get more customers are completely insane, yet always follow some sort of clear logic. If you’ve never heard of this show, you should absolutely watch some clips from it before watching, because they’ll give you a fantastic sense of whether or not you’ll enjoy this as much as I did.
Nathan himself is an odd person. While the show is largely a comedy, throughout it you will see glimpses of the very real things that keep Nathan up at night. By the time the show reaches its hour-and-a-half series finale, Nathan’s mask starts to slip, and an even more fascinating reality underneath it fades into view.
Average (completely unhinged) midwestern family. This show is wonderful.
This show can be really bizarre and hilarious, but is also incredibly thought-provoking when it needs to be. It occasionally feels like it’s just preaching to you, but otherwise it’s short and bittersweet.
This new series is definitely less viscerally terrifying than the original, but its much-improved production quality and sense of humour have really elevated it beyond the old webseries. The jokes don’t all land for me, and I wish it was more frightening, but im also not sure how that balance could be reached perfectly within a 20-minute timeslot to begin with, so I suppose changes had to be made for this show to work. And it certainly works incredibly well.
This is an Internet classic, and I’m so glad it’s been allowed to thrive over the years. A completely surreal nightmare trip that somehow manages to be hilarious at times as well. It also REALLY messed me up in the seventh grade.
It’s criminal that it took me this long to watch Severance. Such an incredible show. It’s a shame that after the first season was delayed due to COVID, now the second season is being delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes, but I suppose it’s necessary. Still can’t wait to see more of this show and I really hope it manages to maintain the incredibly strong start.
This show is too relatable and it’s scary. Pretty fun though.
It’s really hard to properly rate this series, since it has such difference in quality between any particular episode or season that it feels hard to pin to a specific score. I love almost every episode in the first few seasons, but there’s a slow decline in quality that’s really culminated in the last two, which I felt were just “alright”, with some genuinely quite bad elements at times. Overall, though, definitely worth checking out the first few seasons.
Not exactly what I personally consider a masterpiece, but I definitely found the characters enjoyable. I could care less about the technical aspects of the narrative and the business and political dealings going on half the time, but whenever the characters interact and their true personalities shine through, it can be a pretty good show for me.
This show’s reputation precedes it, and it really is that good. Tetsuro Araki’s direction is phenomenal, adding flair to the already dramatic story. It requires the audience to pay close attention, but if they do, they will be rewarded with a stellar first half, an engaging second, and a masterful end.
Because it’s one big alternate ending to the main series, it’s a little unnecessary, but I think that overall, I enjoyed it a little more than the original series, because all the core concepts have been established and we can just focus on the characters and twists/turns. Still a bit hard to follow at times, but a very fun watch.
Man, I got pretty confused while watching this, but it was an insanely wild ride. I wasn’t expecting it to be as character-focused as it was, but it was a welcome surprise!
The show can be quite repetitive in its concept, but man, is it ever fun! I wasn’t expecting to care this much about these characters by the end of it.
A fantastic adaptation of the books, so the only real flaws I have to point out are the ones that the books also share. The pacing is shockingly good, considering each book gets an hour and a half to play out.
I now know why so many people hold this series in such high regard. Personally, I found the humour a bit clashing with the rest of the series, and some of the logic behind the alchemy in the final few episodes felt underexplained, but overall I found it really enjoyable.
This series feels like it slowly loses its mind over the course of its runtime, but there’s something worth admiring about a man putting his pure, raw emotions to the screen. It’s a very brave decision, but there’s far too many hurdles in the way of this series being at all approachable for it to be considered a high-quality story by me.
This series falls off the rails after a certain point, but it has enough high points to absolutely be considered a classic. Some genuinely horrifying stuff came out of this series, but it’s shockingly funny as well.
Overall, I liked this show. The ending felt a bit hypocritical, and the reaction to the human murder seemed a bit lacking compared to the reaction to the cat killings, but that was all fairly minuscule. I found the twists really intriguing.
Even though plenty of people have gotten around to watching this show by now, I’ve still gotta call it underrated.
I can’t diss it too much, since it was one of my first anime. It’s pretty solid, though some arcs kind of drag, and at some points the story feels a bit cobbled together. Overall, it’s fun though.
The sharp turn season 2 takes isn’t for everyone, but I think it enriches and adds to everything before it. I’ve enjoyed it more than the first season, personally, but it’s all amazing. I’m definitely going to read the manga after this season finishes airing.
The ending isn’t as satisfying as it could have been, but everything else is really engaging. I have to say, I really enjoyed the ride, and this show was overall amazing.
I feel like the final few episodes is when it really starts to get fantastic, but everything before that is pretty good too. Also, I still can’t listen to that song after watching this show. You KNOW the one I’m talking about …
There’s some moments that are sort of campy or nonsensical, but that’s just kind of reminiscent of old Star Wars as a whole. It’s a perfectly fine series, even if it’s a bit of an unnecessary one. It was great to see Ewan and Hayden back in their roles.
