I would rather watch Godzilla's Revenge.
I see a bunch of five star reviews, but the fact that they are all un-descriptive, generic lines about how "great" the show is should tell you that they are studio-bots. Ignore them .
I fast forwarded through half of the first episode and almost the entire second.
I don't want to watch 9 episodes of "this is my trauma from a monster attack and my daddy didn't love me enough". The 37 seconds of token monster bits and Kurt Russell are not enough to save the show.
In the name of Christ almighty, save yourself the ocular muscle strain from rolling your eyes so much.
I mean, the whiplash of going from the cartoonishly ridiculous Godzilla Vs Kong (which despite it's wiley plot, had this insane notion to, and stay with me here... be FUN!) to this whiney, melodramatic, exhausting snoozefest, can snap all Three of Ghidorahs necks.
The anti-depressent riddled writers clearly so wanted it so badly to be DARK(aka German Stranger Things with any fun or dread replaced with depression and boredom) with their obnoxious time skipping plot and life-shriveling family drama. It should have been called Monarch: Legacy of Filler.
On that note, I could almost hear the writers crying and congratulating themselves at the strong, perfect, undaunted, and utterly BORING female characters they crammed into this show. And don't get me started on the thinly veiled crack at the military industrial complex... Lady, IF giant dinosaurs are attacking the city, then yeah, I'd like to buy some big-freak'n missiles! Where do I sign up?! Is there a two for one deal going on? Take my money, Lockheed Martin! Or what? Were you gonna try and stop the monsters with the massive chip on your shoulder?
I already know the secret to defeating the "real" monster (whose betting money it's the patriarchy) is "feelings".
Seriously, I don't have a problem dramas, by WHY does it have to utterly overrun a show that's supposed to be about giant radioactive monsters?
Hard, HARD Kaiju sized pass on this exhausting, tedious slog. I will be skipping the rest of this season, and I will from now on refuse to watch any piece of media where I know for a fact that I can beat up the entire writing team single handily.
