thedark protector

i watched at least 15 episodes, hoping it would get better...it didn't. same cheesy, pointless things that remind you of a bad joke, or perhaps a shallow dingbat tripping.

it would be a near-perfect series if the narrator/apparent cop wasn't so annoyingly arrogant & cheesy. also annoying - actors make up 99.9%, very few real people that were interviewed. makes you question...how much did he lie for fame?

everything is very interesting & good except the acting is so annoying (not just bad, but very, VERY annoying) that theyd be better off with no reenactments & just the person telling the story. Actors/actresses whine like teenage girls instead of talking, loudly smack their lips with every sentence, loudly swallow every five minutes, and some are just plain extremely bad at acting. it totally ruins the story.

mostly too much like a bunch of birthday clowns. no real storyline, just the simple-minded thrill of seeing them all in one place. the only highlight worthy for me to comment on was when the Hulk put Loki in his place in the best of best ways. Even the script was very well-written there, which can't be said for most of the film.

the down-to-earth realness to this show is what has kept me choosing it over other (overly-dramatic) paranormal shows. they do a few little dramatic white-lie evidence here & there, which basically all of these kinds of shows do & that's why i only gave it 4 stars, but i think its still more truth than lies & that's really saying something. in comparison, other paranormal shows with more lies than truth received only 1 star from me. i really like the fact that they don't try to force you 2 believe them, either. Season 24 episode 2 there's a great example of this & it's also slightly humorous. Jay removes a relic he thinks is stopping a spirit from communicating, then later hears what they said could be either a "Growl," or just Jay farting. in recent years, they've also seemed to broaden the audience, making the script very kid-friendly, and even sometimes purposefully catering to kids every now and then. little moments like episode 1 of season 24 where Aaron gets "stuck" mid-jump(with a few special effects) from overexcitement, they jokingly ask "are you ok" however i wouldn't reccommend it for little kids as the ghost aspect might be too scary for them.

great storyline, perfect mix of dark & hillarious. though i can really appreciate creativity & magic in this, ive never been a fan of multiverse theories where theres like 50 different versions of you. it just seems like a bit overkill and unnecessary plot-wise. but also to be frank, immoral. if you think cloning human bodies are immoral...then it should be like 10x worse to clone an actual soul. When you really think about it, it becomes VERY depressing. it would make what makes you you essentially meaningless, because you don't even own your entire soul....its split up countless times in countless different bodies in countless different universes. your whole existence becomes pointless.

it has an unique feel to it, as if it's one of the rare instances where at least most of this story is real and filmed and produced from good, heartfelt reasons. i really do believe the reporter wanted desperately to find answers. and i think there's a bigger reason...to reveal that things like this actually do happen & that it happens much more often on much larger scales than we'd like to think. sadly, about 98% of everyone i've ever met is too selfish to show compassion or remorse. so seeing a tv show that has someone that cares enough to actually help someone...well...that's hope i really need right now....because i forget sometimes good people are still out there. i do think though that it goes beyond just one tiny town somewhere where the people that are supposed to be the most trustworthy end up being the least...i'm not saying the whole world is corrupt, but in more cities & towns than we realize...maybe it's not always organized, but in alot of cases...it is. and sadly, drugs are just the latest pod of people. religious terrorists groups have been plaguing us for much longer, secretly taking over authorial & even medical professions, using their power to cover up murders. All of them, no matter who they are, NEED to be exposed. for ones sitting here as victims, we have no voice because no one ever believes your story...until they find themselves a victim, too. this woman found herself a victim, and a truth opened up to her about the hidden dangers she once was too trusting to see.

i was initially willing to give this 4 stars, until the selfish, unnecessary ending. nobody wanted that ending except maybe those people who kill their own family for the life insurance policy money.

pleasantly surprised. has a good depth to the storyline, my favorite aspect being that they are basing this whole story off of doing what is right, being selfless...something hardly no one ever does anymore. the kids who failed the tests vs the ones who passed it were an accurate parallel to the ratio of the real world.
