That was absolutely hilarious parody of actual Star Trek, completely perverting and reverting everything that made ST great franchise... just mocking everything it was about... wait, what... what do you mean they are serious...

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Rats being slaughtered was so incredibly satisfying. These obnoxious pompous self-richchous **** being just eradicated was outright cathartic. Even tho most likely it was meant to be the opposite, lol. But this is such a **** show, that it outright flipped everything. It is not even poor writing(seen worse and not that long ago, Alien Earth was substantially worse), but it combines with that **** Histridge(or whatever is her name, cant be bothered to look up) complete **** of setting and lore, leading to cumulative effect. As result heroic moments are mostly meh, while sad moments are more like "hell, yeah".

Mental **** strikes again. We have yet another example of solid interesting concept being completely destroyed... nay, decimated by utterly incompetent talentless writing, with people also cant even be bothered to put at least some effort into it. Show had interesting premise, but it was completely ruined early on(and ongoing) by pisspoor writing. Occasionally we see bones of this concept in this rives or creative diarrhea, but it appears only for few moments and then we are back to nonsense. Interesting concepts go nowhere, as any momentum is being buried by horrendous writing. You are on ship in space, far away from any help. Working with dangerous hostile alien species in a lab. And you are stupid enough to bring into lab snacks and drinks!?!?!?!? And on top of that cant be bothered with even most basic safety protocols, like ensuring that containment is properly secured after done working with it. And after obvious breach happens wanting to take a bite of this sandwich(that was on the desk in lab, where incident happened) and continue to carry around this water bottle. Without checking any of it for contamination. Jesus F Christ!!!!!!Only question of my mind was "How to **** those people made to adulthood. And did not suffocate in their jammies or choke to death on formula in the early childhood." Due to not just lacking common sense, but outright basic sense of self-preservation. And this abysmal writing is used to move story forward at least 2-3 times in EVERY episode. In general complete disregard of practices that would normally constitute as common sense, is a theme in this show. I have no idea where Hollywood finds so many so utterly incompetent writers, considering that such horrible writing seem be staple of modern Tinseltown. My working theory is that it is a two-stage test. First candidate has to complete Intelligence Box and then write "How is spent my summer" essay. Those that fail the most at Box and then white the most incoherent braindead essay, get picked as writers for upcoming movie/show. Because considering not just lack of talent, but outright lack of common sense in those productions, even AI would be able to produce better results. Substantially better results. In fact generic AI drivel would look like Hemingway, in comparison to this literary equivalent of radioactive waste. Experienced actors, like Timothy Olyphant try to do best with what they are given, but you cant really build a castle out of ****. Interesting characters, like Arthur, are either underutilized or outright discarded. Wendy, an obnoxious stupid narcissistic moralizing girlboss, is being presented as some sort of super-intelligent messiah, magically learning to understand aliens and acting like complete **** for most of the show. Boy Kavalier, another supposed genius, acts like a complete moron. There is nothing even remotely intelligent about him. Not just reckless, as he is described, but also incredibly stupid is how i would describe him. Its a ****. Smee is probably only decent character left by the end of the season. Rest were either killed off, ruined or were **** to begin with.

Finally watched season finale. WOW! I wanted to give this season a chance, i really did. But, as per usual, when progressive politics are being bought into the fold, everything turns to an absolute ****. And this was no exception. Whole season was 3-4 at the most, mostly ruined by utterly nonsensical writing, but season finale took the **** then another **** another **** another one for good measure. Whiting in finale was so incredibly bad, that everything else looks like a masterpiece in comparison. It was a collection of utterly idiotic ideas and events, meant to look grand, but due to exceptionally horrific writing, it all just looked ridiculously lame. Feels like last episode was hastily scrawled on a piece of toilet paper, while sitting on a john, without any rhyme or reason, just bits and pieces thrown together. **** need something big for finale. How about Sutekh, lets make him a big bad. And then try to force everything into being tied to him. Great...amazing material. Then drop some nukes, figuratively speaking, something world-destroying. And then suddenly none of it matters of works in the manner we just established early in the episode, because we are morons without a drop of talent. And then we just defeat Sutekh by putting him on a leash... Jesus F Christ it was bad. Most of the season was garden-variety bad, but last episode would take first prize in incompetent writing Olympics. They really should switch to AI writers. They at least would just produce mediocre 5/10 generic slob, something that would still look like top-shelf writing compared to this garbage.

Biggest mystery is not even almost univesally horrible everything, from writing to casting, but where did 180 millions go?! Ive seen fan movies, with budgets of few thousand dollars, that were written better, looked better and had better acting by individuals that had little to no acting training. Writing is amateurish and completely nonsensical. They could not even put together something that would adhere to common sense, not to mention SW lore(when comes to that this is not SW show, as it completely invalidates and retcons core principles of this franchise). CGI and props are utterly basic. Again zero creativity or talent or attention to details. Almost everything looks fake. But acting is probably one that takes the cake. There were only 3 characters that have shown anything even remotely resembling ability, talent and motivation. Almost all main cast had zero talent and did not even put much effort into it either. This is a pile of **** wrapped into SW gifting paper. And even that paper is quite faded.

Lucy is good, Ghoul is better, Maximus is a waste of space, very similar to Finn from Star Wars. Props are great. Writing is nonsensical. Respect for the lore nonexistent. All those 10/10 "just like the games" and "respect the lore" are either fake or done by Amazon shills. And i can easily prove it. Because show retcons and misrepresents a LOT of lore. Here is one simple example: if this show was respecting the lore, it would not be able to happen. Period. There is no two ways about it. Anyone actually familiar and respectful of the lore would know that. Now why it is impossible? All involved Vaults were build prior to Great War of 2077. Show takes place in 2296. All 3 Vaults are located either in or near Santa Monica, CA. Fallout 1 game takes place in 2161, aka chronologically between Great War and events of the show. During this game we are meeting one interesting individual by the name of Master. Real fans know who he is. Master dream was to unite all humanity as Super Mutants, much stronger and better suited for life in wasteland. Few decades prior to events of the game Master moved into Los Angeles Vault. And that creates a huge problem with the lore. Because Los Angeles Vault was located slightly north of Long Beach. CA. Which puts it somewhere between 30 and 50 miles SSE from triple Vaults. Master was very actively searching for Vaults, as their inhabitants made for best candidates for Super Mutants, due to the fact that their DNA was not damaged by radiation. He controlled a large army(from high thousands to low tens of thousands, real number is unknown, but there was enough to plague wasteland for decades, once army disbanded in aftermath of Master death, army that he intended to use to conquer entirety of California) sent scouting parties hundreds of miles out, searching for "volunteers" for Unity. Chances for him, over period of over 30 years, not finding at least one of those Vaults(especially considering that Vault 33 entrance was on the SURFACE and not concealed), that were basically in his backyard, are ZERO. And that is just one example why this show is NOT lore-accurate. Not even close. It is rife with mistakes and retcons.

US IQ has been falling by 1 point per decade over past 50(probably already 60) years at accelerated rate. Original book was good, had it problems, but it was good. Original show was good, had it problems, but it was good. This is trash. You take good story, pass it thru "Netflix filter" of western stupidity and politics, and you get this. Dumbed down(both book and movies had stupid concepts, but they were presented much better, in this show it is often on level of mental ****), diversified(of course, how we can go without it, gender and color-swapping numerous characters, none of swaps to white, straight and male of course; i thought it was "cultural appropriation", but of course "its ok when we do it") and stuffed show full of pointless boring drama(to appeal to female audience of course). End result is poorly written and directed, moderately well acted, sci-fi show, where scientific concepts are being dumbed down to absurd level and of course girlbossing(why else would you genderswap core characters, but to show how "smart" those women are, even tho it comes out like complete cringe, making you roll your eyes; probably due to writing team lacking IQ to write intelligent concepts). Just another example when stupid people try to write smart show. A lot of those around lately, unfortunate result of hiring based on checkboxes, rather than skill, talent and actual intelligence. I give one point for the book and another for original show. I would not recommend it even for killing time. Half the time you cringe, other half fight boredom. There are occasional good parts, but those are like a spoon of honey in bucket of ****.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Atrocious nonsensical writing of this trash is only rivaled by it depravity and complete moral bankruptcy. Writing is outright so bad, that even fails on most fundamental level of logic. I have no idea what someone who greenlit this abortion was thinking about. It is one completely nonsensical scene after another. This show is a perfect example of what "justice" in feminist "utopia" would look like. Where group of women get to kill a group of men and simply get away with it. It is outright implied that it is justice. There is even a scene of child sexual abuse and it is completely ok with "chief", because you know, girlpower. Navarro is one of those abhorrent annoying vile characters, that you wish every moment of every episode that she dies slow extremely painful and excruciating death. And even then it would probably be too easy. First season had promises, but also plenty of problems. Second was also trying. Third was actually quite good. But this was something else. Somehow it feels that giving it even 0 is too generous. While acting is okish and production is good, writing and narrative are -10.

This show is a mess. A combination of convoluted plots, messy writing and characters without a rudder. It tries to do so many things at once and fails at all of them. It is flashy and fast-paced, but there is always this feeling that things do not fit. And once you start thinking about it, everything does not fit. Plothole on plothole, plot points that go nowhere and appear out of nowhere, most of points were not resolved, etc. Angels are portrait and villains and devils as good guys. Thing is that only one who did something good was Adam. He was the ONLY ONE who saved a soul. Nobody else did anything that was anything but superficially positive. And Adam got whacked. Charlie is a poopoohead, who earns nothing, yet somehow gets handed everything. Better known as Mary Sue. Neither her nor any of her entourage are ever in anything even resembling danger, so between her having everything handed to her and lack of anything even resembling tension(or personality), she is completely bland and boring character. There are shows that portrait inherently negative characters in a good or interesting light, this was not one of them. It is so unremarkable, that i have no idea how people give it 10/10. For what!?!?!

Ok, live-action adaptation of a manga of all things and does not ****?!?! From Netflix?!?!?! That is something i did not expect. Of course it is too early to tell how it will go, but it is a very pleasant surprise. Lets be hopeful, let be cautious. Lets not forget Cowboy Bebop trashfire just yet.

Absolutely amazing... Incredible... Astonishing... Outstanding... Overwhelming... Disney outdid themselves once again. One might have thought that Star Wars hit rock-bottom, but no, Kennedy/Filoni has proven everybody wrong yet again. There is plenty of space to keep on digging even deeper. This show not just had completely forgetful, unimaginative and pisspoorly written story(even GAI would probably have written a better script.) so far(ohh look, we are looking for yet another map, **** something), they managed to slow it down to a crawl, with constant pointless long pauses and padding, that whole show feels to be a filler for something else. Except that there is nothing else. I mean show is full of scenes that last for minutes, while they have maybe 5-10 seconds worth of content. Characters can quite literally say a sentence and then pause for 10 seconds, say another and pause for another 5. And they are not really saying anything that would require emphasizing, just general conversations. "**** are you **** is a beautiful **** are **** is up today..." It is equivalent of eating paper - tastes like nothing and has zero nutritional value. Watching paint dry is more entertaining. Time spent watching this could be spent much much better by doing literally anything else. ANYTHING! To call choreographics amateurish would be an insult to amateurs. Pretty much same for effects. Both are average at best moments and neighborhood-kids-reinacting-star wars at the worst. It is also takes special kind complete lack of talent and competence, to write show so devout of common sense or logic. Jesus F Christ, it is packed full of events that happened for no good reason, simply because script says so. And most of the time do not make any sense and contradict things established earlier in the SAME episode. It is one long line of convoluted coincidences and conveniences. "Puzzles" probably deserve their own mention, as coma patient probably would be able to solve them. Simply dropping those mcguffins would "solve" them. It was so incredibly primitive and poorly done, that even 3-year-old would probably throw it back at you for insulting his intelligence. And of course, how we could not have gone without it, how trash can go on without being stuffed full of progressive causes. If only they put as much effort into...anything else, as they put into girlbossing. 0/10 for show, 10/10 for Lucasfilm reaching another milestone of incompetence.

Biggest mystery is how someone actually highlighted this trainwreck. Saying that it was bad would be a gross understatement. I cant say a single positive thing about this show. Or even neutral. It fails pretty much every step of the way. Purely statistically speaking, even without trying, at least some aspects should have landed. Some jokes would be funny in context.
