Mladen Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 OK, just to separate comment from the list. It is easier that way First, still have to finish Westworld, The Young Pope and watch The OA and Stranger Things. And then we can move to 2017 @HelenaExMachina, dear, it was amazing... I loved it. I loved almost as much as I loved DD and Sense8 (I rated it higher than CS of Sense8 because, as someone said, those felt more like the first two episodes of Season 2 than a Special). This is how dystopian programming should be done. "The Hunger Games" could have used some of the notes from 3%. It is not perfect. There were some glaring plot holes and I didn't buy the change in Marco. Ideology is interesting and I find nepotism to be one of the greatest supporter of corrupt society. It was nice to see how they handled that Spoiler I am also not sure whether I will be able to get in. The cube test seems rather easy for me, the scene test was also no brainer. I can be starved, but I am not sure whether I would get out of the hallucinatory tunnel... It should be noted that 3% is the first TV show on my list that is not in English. I like that...

There is still time The Young Pope is only ten episodes If you don't sleep, you can still make it! 7 minutes ago, Corvinus said: 40. The Shannara Chronicles S1 (no longer watching) 39. Heroes Reborn (cancelled) I probably already made this comment, but the fact that there was a show worse than The Shannara Chronicles out there is something that I find deeply disturbing. (Still) Maybe plan on picking up/returning to (should I?): Mr. Robot (seen 2 episodes) I saw the entire thing with the exception of the finale and it's not worth it I'd say. The fact that I still have no inclination whatsoever to go back and watch that finale probably says everything about how engaging that season was.

Your lack of faith is what is deeply disturbing. Sorry couldn't resist. I also think I've said it before, but for all its shitty stuff, Shannara at least had a simple, cohesive plot. Heroes Reborn couldn't even manage that. But watch it if you don't believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I believe you all right. I wish I didn't, because that would make sleeping easier at night To exist in a world that produces shows that are even more terrible than The Shannara Chronicles is frankly not what I signed up for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've thought such a feat would take a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spreading the views via Netflix I'm so glad you enjoyed it. (It was me said they seemed like the first two episodes Great minds ). I also thought about the Hunger Games when watching this. But it's infinitely better than those books/films are. I don't think I would make it either. TBH I would probably be booted in the interview I did buy the change in Marco actually. He had this sense of entitlement because of his family, and their seemingly impressive track record of people successfully making it through the tests. He's a competent man, that much is true. And when he can show off his skills he does. But when things get desperate his entitlement becomes much uglier and more vicious. Leading to the mob hunts. And actually I very much believe the mob thing, people can be at their most ugly when they feel cornered and desperate. I felt very sad for Agata. And I would have liked to know what she saw in the tunnel. Joana was by far my favourite character. Hoping to see her and Fernando join up with the Cause if there is a season two. i liked that they didn't try to answer too much in this first season and left the Offshore to be explored in the future I also have to express disappointment with Medici. I did not finish the series, got to around episode 3 and gave up. Real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought about the Hunger Games when watching this. But it's infinitely better than those books/films are. As for Sense8, I adored, and let me repeat, ADORED each of the montages and music was to die for. I actually listened to the birthday mix during my own b-day several days ago... It was so cool... As for 3%, it is amazing. Truly amazing. Yes, it is infinitely better than The Hunger Games and many similar franchises. It is serious, it has the gravitas something like this needs. It will be interesting to see what can happen when outsiders become insiders... Spoiler I think I am good in interviews But facing my demons... Not so much Re: Marco. It would make more sense if he was behaving like an entitled brat the entire course of the series. But, he didn't. He was actually humble, he was doing the tasks, he never presumed it is his right. Ironically, that opinion is what gets them purified. To be honest, I knew that some of them would snap, but Marco, IDK, it really didn't fit for me. I also liked Joanna. There was a strength there that none of the other characters had. Most importantly, again and again, she showed what amazing person she is and that one can actually make the best choices even when they think they have none. Her refusal to kill is what truly makes her stronger than any of them. It is tantalizing... Not giving too much of anything. I would like to think that Netflix will expand this... This one has the potential. And I hope it will become culturally relevant to make money for all Netflix markets. I know that people in Serbia are truly amazed by it. Oh, boy, Medici really look troublesome... And I only finished episode 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
