Good premise. Bad execution.
>>223735639the scientist chick owes me sex
>>223735639Worth watching?
>>223735639The Terror but in modern times?
>>223735754pure kino
>>223735754It goes from a show about a sea creature to Lovecraft-esque to Scooby Doo/Free Willy. As with many shows in the past 10 years, good potential with garbage writing.
>>223735639>Wake up on an island>Your childhood home is there (lost at sea decades ago)>Other characters that have gone missing are thereOh, he's in some sort of squid pergatory>No. Just an island with weirdos on it.>Oh yeah, the bad guy is capitalism (again) and the squid dindu nuffinI almost dropped when a White man said "did the needful". I should have.
>>223735754yea it's kinda comfy without getting dragged down by dramaslop that's been typical in modern horror for a while now
>>223735639has there ever been an example of bad premise, good execution?
What the fuck was that last act? It's like a completely different show. It went from spooky isolation horror to a pg-13 family dramedy.
>>223736532>has there ever been an example of bad premise, good execution?
>>223735754Yeah but as the other anons say, the writing misses the mark. With just some minor changes it could've been kino, I don't think its overarching plot was bad.
>>223736537Somalian dude just joins the cast. Like yeah, the guy saved your life but he also caused the entire situation.
>>223735754Weird tonal shifts. It also drags. Would have been better as a 100min movie.
>>223735639Hartnett lookin good. Sweater game on point.
>>223735639>The Terror but in modern times?it's more just not what i expected or wanted. I was hoping for a lovecraftian sea monster type shit. but it was more of a family drama/free willy environmental thing.plus there's some pretty writing. You're trying to prove to people there's a sea monster. you have video recordings of the sea monster. so the obvious choice is to never show anyone the video.
FACT: Josh Harnett's only good movie is The Faculty.
>>223737131He made more sense than the science lady jerkbait and he literally just stands in the bg. She was just screen time to have a mid girl make confused faces at the camera.
>>223736344I hate characterslop and dialogueslop more than anything in movies and tv.
>>223737595Wrong >lucky number slevin >black hawk down>30 days of night
>>223735639the last few episodes are a complete trainwreckthe last one is somehow even worse
>>223735754starts as a 7/10, ends as a solid 3/10overall ... noonce its revealed its just a big squid in ep 2 the show struggles to justify its existence and gets dumber by the secondsomeone wrote a pilot, then it got green lit and he was in deep shit since he didnt have anything more
>>223735639I never expected Korean lookism actors who can't emote well end up in better projects than Hartnett. Zo In-Sung has a great 2026.
>>223735639Shit settingShit premiseIt's not actually lovecraftian or abyssal horrorIt's just a giant squid that gives you a parasite that makes you really thirsty and retards drink from the lake it's living inCompletely dogshit director. first episode leads you to believe the next 5 episodes will be completely different than they are. It failed in everything it tried to do. It's a pg-13 family drama.Daughter was useless btw, what did she actually do?
>>223737568Him getting knocked out of a fully pressurized submarine with just a shoulder injury and then the whole island thing was so stupid. I thought for sure it’d be some kind of purgatory/fever dream thing but they did it straight up
>>223739131>Daughter was useless btw, what did she actually do?padded screen time
>>223739364i love how it goes nowhereah yes, the island of cannibal cultists that killed who knows how many people, lets never bring that up again hahadoes police exist in this setting? how is a town being cut off by alien squid not a country wide story? where is the press?
somebody post what the monster looks like so I don't have to watch the show
>>223740376Literally just a giant squid
>>223740376Totally ordinary squid.Here's a scene where it eats a guy's head. That's the beak at the spot where the tentacles meet.
>>223740456>>223740604I know who to call!
the monster is female so it did nothing wrong
just finished it, 6.5/10, good background watch while playing osrs, just as netflix intended
best part of the show was when qt scientist lady shouts "it's an egg"
OH NONONONONO-
>>223743227she redeemed
>>223735639Is it woke?
>>223746254Are you?
>>223746260No.
>>223735639Why did it end on a cliffhanger when they don't plan to continue it?
