It's like watching paint dry ....
Started of well but fizzled out into dullness rather quickly.
Enjoyed first series but this one is pretty boring. Gave up at E3.
Just watched the first series, and agree with above review that the boy's family are pretty unlikeable, but that's what the show is about. - how their bad behaviour impacts on others. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people around that behave that way, so it's realistic. I enjoyed the show. Any fans of 80's Indie music will love the score.
Edit ... started watching S2 but it went downhill fast .Gave up at E3 ... just boring!
What a pot-boiler!! This show has it all - missing kids, rape, blackmail, everyone getting on with their friend's parnters , a guy paying 5K to bed a housewife, lying and scheming ... and all with just three couples ... even the kids are awful. LOL Watch for a bit of a laugh if you have time to waste.
Just a bunch of unlikeable characters and bad acting. Avoid.
I really wanted to love this show - beautiful location, great sets and costumes, decent enough acting. ... but the story was really just one hot mess. The jumping timelines, apparently a feature in the award-winning novel, made the story really difficult to follow. The first time it happened, I thought I'd skipped to the next episode somehow ... that's how abrupt it is. ... and it never got any better. Too bad really.
Good entertaining fun ... just don;t try to read to much into it.
Anyone not giving this show a 10 does not know what they're taking about!
Not for me. I watched the whole series, but it was overly long and I got bored. To each his own.
I can see why a lot of guys would find this film disturbing! LOL I thought the role reversal was great for a change. Strong performances from both leads. Great low budget revenge film.
Well crafted story. BB does such a great job.
Pretty grim scene when the bear turns up, but the movie is well worth a watch. Succeeds in creating fearful suspense. MP is pretty good.
This show really has run it's course (probably a few seasons ago). The characters are just SO dull!, and their involvment in the police work is unrealistic. My partner insists on staying with it till the end ... uggggh.
I get it, but it is rather heavy handed. Nonetheless, it succeeded in being creepy, so worth a watch.
Going against concensus here and giving it just 5. Firstly, the movie weas overly long . The first haIf in particular, focussing on the relationship between the leads, was boring. I feel Zendaya brings nothing to the role; her Chani is quite unlikeable and, as someone has mentioned, lacks any chemistry with the lead. I found the cinematography uninspiring., there were very few shots that showed any stunning scenery at all, despite the exclamations of the leads as they look over the dunes. The shots of huge audiences and masses of people were overdone, and looked like a cut and paste job. The special effects for the worms were minimal, with all efforts being focussed on blowing stuff up ... very tedious. On top of all that, they have left out / altered important elements of the story!! Was looking forward to this, but unfortunately, was very disappointed, Wish the TV mini-series had been given this one's budget!
Comments about a predictable plot for a film released in 1976 can't really be taken seriously. The film successfully achieves a claustrophobic, creepy feel, typical of Polanski's paranoid themes. Great film.
Dopey premise but entertaining enough.
Really enjoyed S1, but this sequel really did push the realms of credibility way too far. So much going on with one family ! Jesus Mary Joseph! LOL
Solid performances and good drama centering on family dynamics rather than the crime itself. Recommend.
Awful! Predictable plot and terrible script. Avoid.
Some poor acting, and the dubbing is pretty bad of course, but not the worse thing on Prime either (called Tightrope there).
A rather convoluted story told via screenshots. Too many plot holes to be convincing.
Chaotic but interesting! Definitely worth watching.
Just slow and boring. Waste of some excellent actors.
Uggggh ... I can't believe I invested over two hours to this!
Started off OK, quite interested in what was going on. Moving to the 2nd part it rapidly became quite boring. ... too much irrelevant personal interaction stuff. Finally, in the last part, it became ridiculous! Are we to believe that the USA is so over un by RWNJs that they start destroying the city within a couple of days of the internet going down? LOL No need to answer that question ...
A real pot-boiler that just goes on and on and on and on and on .... no idea where those high ratings belong, but not here! and there's a S2????? OMG LOL
Cross-Europe crime drama with a few holes here and there, but quite engaging none-the-less.
Haven't read the book, but not sure why the poor ratings. The story involves the telling of three crimes, with UR doing a good job as the troubled policeman. Don't let the initial gory scenes turn you off, that's pretty much as bad as it gets - it's more crime thriller than horror. Interesting plot with plenty of new reveals throughout, IR maybe overdoing his part,, and the ending is somewhat rushed, but it's all good. Recommend. and look forward to S2.
Or "How to ruin an idyllic life by allowing total strangers onto your yacht" ... like we all would, right? Completely implausible story involving a bunch of totally unlikeable characters. No rhyme or reason to what they do, apart from prolonging the agony of this show. Cannot recommend.
