This show is a parody from the TV show Community Season 5 episode 8: "App Development and Condiments". You have the 5 meowmeowbeenz at the top of the hierarchical structure, then the 4, etc. The top enjoy lavish environment, best food, etc. And the one want to revolt or try to get to the top.
I'm of course joking, but looking at this TV show under this angle made me realise that the show runners had a simple premise, a foolish backdrop and tried to weave something out of it. It's very obvious they had to improvise the story because it's not well built or played.
It's garbage, and that's as simple as that.

One of my favorite shows to date! A shame they made it so hard to watch season 4 as it being an HBO max exclusive or Uk Netflix only. They would have had much larger view count.

It was an OK 7 until they started ramping up the woke talking points. There are worse shows to watch but it isn't as good as it used to.

Season 3 is an utter disappointment so far. I haven't enjoyed a single episode. Why does every TV series dive deep into effects of trauma, PTSD, and show 'ears ringing' state in every other scene? We get it: it's a miserable, hopeless world. However, as a viewer, I want to see the story move forward. Stop waddling in character development at the expense of furthering the plot.

Season 1 is good, but takes a few episodes to get going. Season 2 is really good. Season 3 doesn't seem to know what story to tell.

Snowpiercer is an excellent post apocalypse series, increasingly entertaining and gripping. I loved the original movie from the original graphic novel, and this is a nice continuation of the same theme. If any series can claim direct inspiration from the climate crisis today, it is Snowpiercer. I definitely feel this is the best performance of Jennifer Connely in her entire career. She carries the show on her shoulders, the burden of making terribly hard decisions to keep humanity alive in a frozen world. She plays the role of anti hero very well, at times showing tremendous humanity and compassion, at other times a callous disregard for human rights - but always driven to the mission of the train. The supporting cast is excellent, and the addition of Sean Bean in season 2 added an incredible gravitas to the series. It's been a while since I've seen such a vicious, erudite and sophisticated megalomaniac villain. He perfectly justified Melanie's initial choices to save humanity. Other delightful characters include Ruth, the perfect example of how not even the end of the world demands abandonment of decorum and civility. Most of the characters undergo a transformation during this endless revolution of track, as their circumstances change.
As we see the tug of war, and literal civil war, inside the train oscillating between autocracy and democracy, it is a perfect mirror of the political times we live in today. Kudos to the showrunners for integrating this reality. The image of a populist who divides to conquer, who demonizes the weak and who promises nebulous security, all the while demanding to be worshipped, seems quite familiar and recent indeed. The special effects of a long silver snake charging through a frozen world with the glistening corpses of human civilization is a sight to behold. Some of the action sequences are breathtaking, especially in the Himalayas. The showrunners definitely didn't skimp on the budget. As with any end of humanity series, what always saddens me the most is the wanton disregard for the preservation of human life, even as the species struggles on the edge of the extinction abyss. All these types of shows seem to be stating that humanity does not indeed deserve to survive. Nevertheless I am very happy season 3 is coming up and really can’t wait to see how this gripping story continues to unwind on the endless track.

The best sci-fi on TV. Tense, claustrophic, existential, and stylish. Criminally underrated.

An absolutely atrocious TV series with an absolutely atrocious cast (aside from Steven Ogg) and an absolutely atrocious concept. Snow piercer much like its movie counterpart attempts to make a strong message. The only problem is that's all there is behind this TV series. Dude is called up from lower class into higher class to help and yada yada yada. Otherwise the train is a horrible setting, the characters make you want to off yourself and its filled with drama that was written by a third grade student with the help of her disabled parent. Its garbage, horrible and a dumpster fire. They should not have made more than one season.

Worst Netflix series I've ever seen. Worst plot, worst characters and a lot of tolerance without need.

I don't know what really to think of this. This series takes the critically acclaimed film by Bong Joon Ho and builds a world around it, which is totally unnecessary, given, that the original Snowpiercer was just an allegory for capitalism, to put it simply. The original movie thrived from its surreal aesthetic, its over-the-top depiction of class structures, this is not really the case here.
The length of the episodes and the number of them is totally unnecessary, because most of the time they are just plain boring. Only the first and last few episodes are somewhat interesting to watch, but so much just feels like filler.
I will not watch a second season of this.

Did you ever watch a movie where the victims were the people you were supposed to root for, yet by the end of the movie you were actually rooting for the villains? That's what happens here in snowpiercer. The lead hero does things that make no sense, and the idea of a rebellion loses its steam quickly as you sit and grow weary of watching him. Jennifer Connelly does a wonderful job of portraying the lead villain, even though technically she is not a villain. All in all, you can watch if you're bored, but the sense of wokenness that is forced upon you with the series tends to eliminate any real desire to appreciate what the cast is trying to create. You're better off finding another series if you can.

Though the initial plot of a tale passenger being drafted as a homicide detective is stupid, the story expands on the snowpiercer setting Wich is cool

I've finished the whole series. I've have to say it's one of the most immersive shows I've ever watched. I've watched the movie and read about the comics. They all have different stories and I have to say they're all equally interesting. Casting is great. I think Jennifer Connelly plays her role really well. A character you won't like yet understand their actions. The rest of the cast is great. Diggs sometimes deliver his lines that makes it sounds like he's still from 2020, feels like he breaks character sometimes. But most of the time his acting is great. Pacing is good as well. I've read that Korean TV series are usually just 1 season, being able to tell a full story within 1 season. I'm quite surprised the story wrapped up pretty nicely at the end.

Oh my god, the casting is terrible, especially the hobo lead, and then the acting, also terribly bad.

I'm so glad the completely undid the movie and made things more racial. The OG movie awesome cinematic more about second class citizens really breached the idea of second class citizens having no money and struggling for survival. Now we have the same people fighting for their life in the supposed same circumstances they always have done. What an amazing multinational story half subtitled turned into this. Hopefully they don't discuss the symbiotic relationship between the carriages.

Review after 5 episodes. Snowpiercer doesnt quite deliver, but it has some very interesting things. I like the class system, and the setting on a train is good. But the actors do a mediocre job and they are not convincing. Effects are ok but most of the times the cgi is to clear.

The main issue lies in that we already have been told a story from this world, this exact world, so you have to bury that completely and try and view this with a clear and open mind. with that done, the show is good at retelling details of what this world is. it has great starting points for many characters to rise from. But where my issue lies, is in its predictable parts, i know what dort of plotline they have choses sometimes, and then i the ride becomes a chore. but take away those parts and sometimes the unrealistic dialogue, it has potential. and they are trying something. all in all this is just 2 episodes. we have to wait a bit longer to see if they can live up to the potential, to many write them off as a failure too early.

The 2020 video series Snowpiercer is of the steampunk genre like the original 2013 movie. So, there is that retrofuturism that seems to be widely appealing - but, the series and the movie have different plots. I am writing about episode 1 of season 1. I found it interesting that animation was used as an introduction to the series. I think we are seeing animation used more frequently to keep projects on budget. There was some very good acting. I can't list them all - but, I especially enjoyed:
Jennifer Connelly as the "Voice of the Train"
Mickney Sumner a brakeman (later a hostage)
Alison Wright another brakeman
Iddo Goldberg a train engineer? The train is obviously a metaphor and (to me) an interesting plot device. The technical aspects of the series are of very good quality. Perhaps the editing was somewhat too fast paced - but, I can understand how there was a lot to cover in the first episode. I will be watching the second episode.
I anticipate that this will be enjoyable entertainment if you like to think about things.
