I'm kinda interested but I don't know the source material at all.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's really neat so far, watching it now. Fantastic music. And we're witnessing Ellen Page's metamorphosis into Janeane Garofalo, worth the price of admission on that alone.

I binged it over the weekend. It was probably longer than it needed to be, but it was good overall.

 

[Antoon]

MCR and Gerard Way solos are my guilty pleasures, so will check this out.

 

[Darklor01]

I liked it. Will watch the inevitable season 2

 

[Treats]

I'm enjoying what i've seen so far.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Man this was really good now onto Russian doll. #5 is one of my fav characters ever now

My wife and I watched all 10 episodes in 1 day. I haven't read the comic but there wasn't as much action as I would have liked.
Everything else was great though, the look of the show, the direction (outside the action) was good, the characters were great and I loved the music.
If you has Netflix you should check it out.

 

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Finished this. It ended up being quite good. A mix of Wes Anderson and superhero family stuff. They managed to make the many characters all interesting.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Looking forward to checking this out

Episode 1 down. Good so far. Premise is wild.

 

[Treats]

Loved it,hope we get a second season.

Was waiting for this for awhile and I’m not liking it. It’s a bore. I must be alone in this, but I’m on episode 7 and I find it pointless. The directing is fantastic and the actors are good but the story is confusing and just kinda dumb.

 

[Atrus]

I found this show to be really well done. Great characters with a weird mix Wes Anderson vibe akin to Grand Budapest Hotel and The Watchman.

I’ve never even heard of the comics before but liked pretty much every character.

The plot is fairly simplistic and it has more to do with the ‘family’ dynamics of the group but it kept me hooked well into next season.

 

[Hazzard4life]

While I liked the characters individually, I found the show a tad boring. I was hoping that it would improve with each episode but I was disappointed overall

 

[HarryKS]

It's not very good.

 

[bitbydeath]

Just finished watching it and enjoyed it. Number 5 is a great actor.

 

[TheUsual]

It took me a while to connect the dots with where I heard Hazel's voice before then I realized he played Ed Kemper in Mindhunter.
Overall fun season. Definitely excited with season 2.

 

[Valonquar]

While enjoyable I hated how open ended the last episode went.

 

[J-Roderton]

While enjoyable I hated how open ended the last episode went.

Extremely open-ended.

 

[Nnam]

Don't think I like it, I couldn't get past the first few episodes, nothing seemed definitive with the plot.

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

I really enjoyed it and actually like that it wasn’t a ton of episodes. I’d rather have shorter seasons with fewer filler episodes. Looking forward to where they take the series in season 2.

 

[J-Roderton]

I really, really did not like Hazel and Cha-Cha.

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

I really, really did not like Hazel and Cha-Cha.

I liked Hazel. As a fan of Mary J. Blige I agree with you 100% on Cha-Cha.
