Reading the description it sounds like a new version of “Lord of the Flies”

Skip this show unless you like CW teen tv… very disapointed by the acting, dialogue and character writing. I have fallen off TWD for the past few seasons and was really excited for a fresh take… Well this ain’t it man. More like the average teen against the world CW series with zombies sprinkled in
I agree, it’s like they decided to make a teen spin off. We know it’s going to be predictable, the writers are getting lazy and not using their imagination. I will give it a couple more episodes to see where it goes
Good actress and Paris looks great. I wouldn’t nornally watch a “chick” series but it’s not bad.
HOWEVER - very predictable and of course the usual stereotypes, we know that the French are going to resent her and then she wins them over………. They make the French out to be all arrogant and lazy, smoking everywhere, dogs pooping on sidewalks etc. I’ve been to Paris and didn’t see any of this.
I wonder what is wrong with Hollywood writers when they do the OBVIOUS, it could’ve been so much better. But I suppose they are making this for the teenage crowd who will over look the obvious
Omg.. re writing history again
This is not a documentary but a TV series. If you want accuracy then read history books or watch a documentary. TV series and movies are about entertainment not about accuracy or the truth
Didn’t like it, looks like just another mainstream cop show with the usual predictable story line. Watched the first episode, no more
Terrible acting - almost laughable. But after all it’s just another boring network series with the same old story lines
After downloading an episode I found it had Arabic subtitles you can’t turn off. So I checked the remaining episodes and most of them have the subtitles and/or english closed captions.
why is everything for main stream America so intelligence insultingly stupid ?
Because it’s the “same old” CBS, NBC, ABC FOX prime time. Nothing challenging about it, all been done before, very predictable and it’s the mainstream young people that watch this stuff, can’t make it to complicated
I have to say wow too. Great acting, the girl was fantastic. Hope there is a season 2
No, no, no! I just watched the trailer and even though it’s intriguing, I don’t care for drama’s/movies with satanic overtones. I’ve never watch The Exorcist and even hearing the theme song played on the radio when I was a teen unnerved me to the point I had to sleep clutching my bible. Laugh if you must, but I draw the line…some believe in neither God nor the devil but where does that evil come from……hmmmm?
I didn’t think that I would like this but I did. it keep me wanting to see what was going to happen next. I also loved the fact that this are people of color in ALL the roles in this series. It made the series more relatable for me.
I don’t know how I feel about that. Yes it’s good to see people of color in roles, however, back in the 19th century the few black people in Britain would have been servants.
But since this is a work of fiction they can do whatever they want. It’s a fantasy world
Just like all the sex and openness, that didn’t happen.
I couldn’t watch it after one episode. I guess I’m used to the traditional 19th British costume dramas
I couldn’t believe they televised public executions on live tv, then I realized this is DC Comics where anything goes……
WTF? this is terrible. A bunch of Brits pretending to be French? some bad acting and story line. Seen it all before, too many of these boring murder mysteries. Don’t waste your time. Kind of like a death in paradise.
Dark and depressing, hard to watch. Martin Freeman puts on a good performance though.
I love Katey Sagal but another run of the mill network tv lawyer show? No thank you. Guess she needs the money to pay for her hubby’s failed shows.
She deserves better.
Yes well said!! I think most people like the mediocrity of something like this
Time to end this pathetic display of Hollywood patting themselves on the back.
Just another predictable ABC lawyer series where she stands up for the poor blacks and latinos. All the white rich people are evil and out to exploit the poor working people……………
Loved her in Sons Of Anarchy but this is not good for her!! Please go back to AMC, HBO or another NON-ABC,NBC,CBS, FOX series. The writing for all of these networks is just bad and not original. All the same re-hashed predictable scripts - Fire these writers
Predicable stuff, the usual female cop/PI who is a renegade. She’s ex-military so she can take down guys that outweigh her by 150 pounds…………….the usual car chase with cars flying through the air. It’s all been done before
It’s a typical ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX series
So people rate this 5 Stars but it hasn’t been released yet?
come on people!! you don’t give a program starts if you THINK it’s going to be good
I like it good series!! I like the actress that plays the flight attendant never seen her in anything else but she does a great job.
not very good, one episode was enough. it’s like Josh Hartnett who quit acting a few years ago re-surfaces in an amateurish Euro series
This is NOT a remake of the original British series.
It’s based upon the book by Gillian Flynn the American author that wrote Gone Girl.
Yes there was a Brit series based upon this book. Good series but so is this
This is a must see if you like these kinds of crime shows. Why is it that countries from Europe put out way better shows than Canada/US? I know Canadian shows USED to be bad but they’re not anymore. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the UK, Spain, France etc. have amazing story lines and the actors aren’t all skinny or in great shape and beautiful. They’re more realistic and I like that too.
I like the Capture, good Brit drama.
But don’t say there are no good US shows, there are a ton of US shows that are very good and probably better than this - right now there is Power, Mr Mercedes, Mayans, The Deuce, Ray Donovan, Ozark a ton of others on US TV - I can list 50 or so…………..
Some great ones on NetFlix, have you seen “Unbelievable” ??? How about HandMaids tale?
So don’t say a few Brit shows are “way better”
I agree about Canada - all crap but they have to produce Canadian content so they put out amatuerish stuff, the best cdn actors go to the US
Not very good! acting is bad. I don’t buy the ghost buster thing. Half an episode was enough
PS you really shouldnt listen to anything from channel 9 its for idiots :) much like the US fox network, owned by the same tabloid idiot, mr Murdoch, in fact :)
You mean CNN ? Fox News seems to be less sensational than CNN and gives viewers the other side rather than the left wing view from the other cable network.
This is bad! they send a small female police officer to Mallorca to pick up a gangster to take him back to the UK, by herself??? they are handcuffed together.
Then the bad guys take him out at the airport and she’s about to be shot and she’s saved by a German detective who is working in Mallorca …………………….of course he’s good looking, they dislike each other at first but then fall in love………………the usual boring police series with car chases, bad dialogue.
Terrible
Disappointed with this one,watched 3 episodes and hoped it would get better. Half and hour of this is enough. The characters are just unlikeable and boring. The dialogue……….you just want to tell them to shut up.
Only good thing is the music
Had to move on after 15 minutes into the first episode. The filming was terrible; like a bad fandom movie. The acting, if you can call it that, was so lifeless and the dialogue…well I guess you get the idea. This doesn’t even come close to the UK production and quality. I’m a huge fantasy / science fiction fan and this was really disappointing.
This show is almost laughable - such a terrible predicatable mid-season ending. These writers need a kick up the arse.
Way to ruin a CJ Box story
If you are a teenage girl you might like it. But the usual predictable high school stereotypes. Acting is forced
Same storyline as the punisher, rogue agents etc boring. They need to fire these hollywood writers. The acting is laughable
This was funny, good comedy
