Born Sceptic

I hope that in real life, MI5 does not have people like River in service.

This show is intolerable. Almost half is sequences of Offreds face in differing degrees of emotional ups and down. I like the premise of the show and cant imagine living in a Gilead. But god almighty, i have not disliked a character as much as i do Offred.

This is a show about Superman acting like a petulant child throughout. The least likeable character he's ever played. This also is a show about a mother who failed. Who failed her son and her husband. Who miserably failed her most basic duty as a mother. To protect her son, no matter what.

t's quite simple really. If you are a woke leftist, you will probably like this show. For the rest of us, the first season is torment enough. As for Nicola Walkers acting, the less said about it, the better. She's the same in every show she does, so much so that at times I thought I was watching the Unforgotten. The Split is infuriating. It's a story about a bunch of trauma hoarding promiscous women who can't seem to make up their minds about anything. And the men of the show are all pathetic losers.

This is a soap opera. Not a spy show. Especially season 2. Just ridiculous.

1st - Jennifer Connely, one of the most beautiful women in the world when I was a kid, is so malnourished and thin that it's a wonder she actually completed shooting an entire season. 2nd - the casting is horrible. Wokenes and guilt have ensured characters that are unbelievable. The owner/CEO of Velocity looks more like a corner thug or 100 meter sprinter than the Head of a hitech company. Their security person, Dawn, is a woman who thinks she's a man and walks around with those gym bro shoulders, shooting peoples heads randomly because she feels like it. The protagonist, Jason, is played by an actor who has no business talking about particle physics and quantum theory. The plot is half decent although nowhere near the level of Dark, the German show from a few years ago that will probably never be eclipsed. And that's the only positive to be had in this God awful display of how NOT to write and act. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

"Most searched western on Amazon today". This is the introduction on Google reviews. It's only after coming here that i discovered that this show is a western. Josh Brolin - can a more one dimensional actor exist? I think that would be unlikely, even in a parallel dimension. And his two idiot sons who don't seem to have a functioning intellect. As for the mysterious hole that somehow only royal and the crazy lady seem to know, no explanation there either. In fact if some sort of resolution to the plot is what you expect at the end of season 1, it's better you hang your self first. What you need to do before you watch this show is to suspend any and all belief in common sense, knowledge about Wyoming and of human behavior in general. The scenes crawl into each other, with episode after episode of meaninglessness and really bad background music. Just a total waste of time.

Back when the first couple of seasons came out, we were all so impressed. American spies and the CIA seemed so advanced. As rookies about to enter a related field, we thought maybe this is how that world really worked. Now, more than a decade later, it's a joke. And whoever wrote the script in season 4 has no clue about Pakistan and that region. It's like they translated the lines into their literal hindi/urdu meanings and the result is comical. Rewatching homeland while I recover from an injury made me realise just how fake the West, US and hollywood is and how they always push the narrative that they somehow, are the good guys. Decent watch though, mediocre acting from most except clare danes who looks manic even in real life. No wonder no one wants to work with her.

This is a true story? This man actually thought it was a good idea to write about this? If you want to watch a show about quite possibly the most self absorbed and narcissistic individual, then this is it.

A supposedly "realistic" show that has fan boys gushing over the action and intrigue. As someone who knows a thing or two about this aspect of operations, I gotta say they are the most unprofessional group of operators and handlers ever shown on TV. Is this how Israeli intelligence operatives work in real life? Always after each other wives, girlfriends, husbands, sex like it's the end of the world, seemingly zero respect for superiors and chain of command - these people are glorified fuk boys whose characters were developed for the sake of entertainment. Nurit - one of the most toxic women characters I've ever seen. You run away from people like her in real life. This show is like a third world version of the CIA . I've gotta believe Shin Bet and Mossad do not operate anything like how is depicted in this show that seems to get progressively worse with each season.
