Loved the original. But this new version holds no water in comparison. Ariel (Halle Bailey) was great; but only on land. King Tritone (Javier Bardem) was utterly atrocious, and Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King) was rediculous. Not only did most of the acting feel 'forced', there simply was no chemistry between Ariel and Eric. It's also no secret that Disney went the extra mile in pushing a 'diverse' cast (black daughter with white King, coupled with white prince and black queen) .. but this doesn't really bother me. But it did seem to try overly hard to keep an even split unnecessarily. - I mean, did Ariel really need white, black, asian, and indian sisters?? At a certain point, it no longer represents diversity and becomes more about making a statement, which (regardless if you like it or not) DOES effect chemistry .. and you can't just expect viewers not to notice. Maybe one day Disney will find the right balance of using a diversified cast that genuinely gives viewers that happy feeling inside .. but this movie is far from achieving that goal. A for effort .. F for execution..

My wife (asian-american) and I were sooo excited a about this series! Amazing premise. Marketing team did an amazing job on making an eye-catching trailer with a unique and intriguing concept (American girl in LDR with Korean guy, who decides to surprise him by flying to Korea to meet him). What could go wrong? Well, she turns out to be lesbian (or in love with virtually anyone with a pulse)... Which is fine and all. But the trailer was targeting an entirely different audience. For a vast majority of those who watched this, this is not a romance comedy. It's a romantic tragedy. Maybe you disagree. That is everyone's right. But if people don't like what your making, they aren't going to watch it nor leave positive reviews. And the vast number of negative reviews reveal that a majority of reviewers feel the same ... (when will people learn?) ☹️ Amazing opportunity missed here. ☹️☹️

I believe this show is hilarious. I can't stand Stephen Colbert, but this show is great. Like many of the other commenters on here, I think the show is about as center as it gets. Makes hilarious fun of both sides. But I also agree, it does actually make Trump look better (not worse). I think if anything, this show probably helps Trump; which I'm sure was not Mr. Colberts intentions. Anyways, I subscribed to Showtime solely to watch this series. Funny funny stuff (if you are party neutral).

I really, REALLY, want to like this show. It has great visuals, and explores ideas where no idea has gone before (pun intended). But this show breaks form from all previous series, and has some BIG pills to swallow. This is especially the case for 'true' treckie fans. Commander Burnham is by far the hardest character to accept. There is absolutely no way Star Fleet's most prestigious starship, would have a Commander so emotionally unstable and unbalances. She is the Commander of a starship, yet consistently challenges authority, disobeys direct orders repeatedly, physically assults other commanding officers, and tirelessly rants on and on with emotional outbursts. I don't blame Sonequa or her character. As an actress, she nails it perfectly. I blame the creative writters for veering too far from the core principles of the genere, and confusing fervent passion with emotional breakdowns. Commander Spock, Commander Riker, Commander Data, Commander Geordi, Commander Worf, Commander Chakotay, Commander Sisko (i think those cover all the series) - then you have Commander Burnham. I just wish they would have done a better job with this missed opportunity.
