The first episode. The flight is normal. I would even say beautiful. Emma is working 100%, John hasn't revealed himself yet, but I think that's the whole idea. I want and want to see everything in one day, but I'll try to prolong the pleasure or disappointment. Time will show.
@Caliban: I'm sorry, I didn't take the time to study Sonya's biography. Her accent probably seemed forced due to the fact that I rarely met a British citizen with Japanese ancestry in movies and TV shows.
@ruda4ok: It's okay) when she first appeared in the frame, I also thought that she was imitating an accent, but later, when I listened, it didn't seem that way anymore)
@kiselik: It is not so difficult to get it. You only need to re-register for a new email every month and voila, another free month. As it is, in the DreamMarket, for a nominal fee, you can buy lifetime premium access to HBO, Hulu and Netflix, I successfully blew mine, but I considered it a sign from the universe that I could leave too much time there. I like to stumble across TV series by accident. That's how they become more valuable. Something got me completely carried away.)
"You don't fuck this up, I won't fuck this up" is a good start, but nothing is clear (it reminded me of legion, nothing was clear there either). It's funny with a portrait and a picture next to it, of course. Well, ad buddy was pleased.
Intriguingly, it's not really clear what this is about... Usually, the first pilot episodes are powerful enough to get the viewer hooked right away, and I wanted to keep watching.
@id87432687: So you think Fukunaga should have dumped everything on us in the first episode at once, and then descended into shit? I just wanted to keep looking more. As I wrote earlier, time will tell.
@id87432687: well, this is Netflix Originals: they immediately ordered a whole season, the audience on the site is watching a marathon, so long introductions and swings are not critical here.
The first episode didn't blow up, of course, but it still kept me wanting to watch more. Some scenes are completely unclear why they were left in the final montage, but most likely we will get the answers later.
As far as I'm concerned, Emma Stone is not enough, we didn't agree on that! Jonah Hill wasn't particularly surprised by the difficult scenes, we've known for a long time that he can act not only in Apatow comedies.
The setting of the series is very interesting. All these pharmaceutical stories in the series, it seems, have not been sucked yet. From the analogies, only the "Side Effect" of Soderbergh comes to mind. But, as a person who has not watched the original, it is difficult for me to imagine where the "Maniac" will turn next. Anyway, we keep watching and say thank you so much to Netflix for the localization (watch with subtitles, as Emma Stone's voice is inimitable).
Basically, the first episodes don't usually roll in for me, so I'll just keep watching. Moreover, it's too early to judge what the series is like. By the way, it's a great fact for the overall development of ahaha
It feels like I've been inside the head of a mentally ill person. And an extreme degree of disorder. I don't even know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
It's true, it reminds me of Legion, but for me, it was more dynamic.
The beginning pleases with funny allusions. Tommy Egan from Power in an unexpected image, an alternative future with antediluvian computers and individual advertising, almost like in a Special opinion. A guided tour of the embankment for Russians, the Statue of super Freedom, the Colossus of Rhodes, looks amazing.
@kiselik: On netflix. Registration is simple, the first month is free, you need to link a card, the main thing is not to forget to cancel the transition to a paid subscription.
@Malsagov: Legion, yes! + the movie "She" (for some reason, most likely according to the atmosphere) and the second episode of the first season of "Black Mirror". It's coming in great.
@yonoi: Well, why shkolota at once, some kind of ancient insult :). It's just that you have something to compare it with, and those who haven't watched the Norwegian series think differently. Of course, most people watch because of the actors, but what's wrong with that? They play well. If the series is not successful, people will stop watching anyway, and it will also raise interest in the original. In my opinion, there are some advantages).
@yonoi: And plus any opinion that I agree with - then what is the level? High school? So you can give a plus without arguing, but you can't give a minus? The only one who can be called a "schoolboy" here is you, since it didn't work out well and you decided to pour it here :)
That everyone has run over Emma Stone's beauty? She's not playing sexy gels here. Battered, tortured, penniless, on all sorts of bullshit. They shouldn't look like a perfect doll in such a life. Although she's still a beauty with all the carelessness of the image. How accustomed everyone is, even in the apocalypse, to seeing female characters perfectly groomed
@dalisha: Just as I was watching, the thought occurred to me that she was playing a "battered, tortured, penniless" drug addict, almost a homeless woman, but at the same time she looked well-groomed in beautiful clothes, with pretty makeup, a clean head and shiny hair. It's not that this thought turned me away from watching, but it just kind of caught my eye.
@dalisha: Okay, either the comments were erased here, or this is the first time that Emma Stone's appearance is mentioned in any way. Before that, they only said that she was cool and that she was expected to play well. And they definitely didn't.
The surroundings are interesting, it seems, and very similar to our world, but the little things still stand out strongly and there is a constant atmosphere that something is wrong. I will continue to watch with curiosity.
@JohnSlow: Well, on the surface, what immediately catches your eye: - the main character with a mental disorder; - retro surroundings, and the exact time of action is unclear, modern technologies are mixed with outdated ones; - a friend of GG, with whom there is supposedly a supernatural connection; - the theme of saving the world...
I was the only one who noticed that Emma Stone, a homeless drug addict exhausted by life (I don't remember the name of the character), walks around pretty, well-groomed, made-up, with a washed head and stylish clothes? :)
The theme of the girl in the ads was painfully reminiscent of Highway 60. Oh, nostalgia. Everything is as mentioned above: a cool setting, slow development, and the absence of Jonah Hill causes almost no emotions. Hallucinations are now in every second series, you won't surprise anyone with them. In Sharp objects, the memories were much more interesting, and I saw the best and most frightening depiction of schizophrenia in Olivia Ketteridge. I want more Emma Stone, because there's not much of her here, but she's still awesome in every frame. And the pseudo-Japanese entourage of the company is somehow annoying.
@moshito: As far as I remember, Olivia had at least two characters suffering from schizophrenia - mom and son (I don't remember their names), but the second one (SPOILER ALERT) tried to blow his head off with a gun in the car, and then rushed to save a girl from a diner who fell into the water. Olivia had an elephant's head in his vision.
*Binge watching the entire season in full* It's just amazing! A strange, kind, wild, stylish and very human series. It seems to me that this is a masterpiece.
I don't understand when they say that Jonah Hill didn't evoke emotions. To me, he played it beautifully! He conveyed the whole essence of schizotypal disorder!
In my opinion, everything is clear in this episode. Except for the slightly strange behavior of Emma's character, but why reveal all the cards at once, it wouldn't be interesting either) I don't know yet if I like what I see on the screen, but I'll keep watching. There are still so many contradictory comments about Emma, I don't know about the character or the actress herself, but as for me, this role is very suitable for her.
@MarinaBalerina: It seems to me that Emma Stone's character just played along with Hill's character so that he would stay behind and not draw attention to her.
@Darula: yes, the topic of heroism, connections, and what else Owen (that's what his name seems to be) said, she supported him so that he would leave her alone and not give her away) and the strangeness of her behavior was what I meant-why did she need to go to these trials so badly, and in general it was unclear whether she a drug addict is either mentally ill or something else is wrong with her))
The first series is very ambiguous: a modified world in which, as mentioned above, new and old technologies are mixed, unusual architectural structures, medicines, etc. I would call it eclectic, but here we need to remember that we are dealing with an unreliable narrator(s). As a result, all this may turn out to be a hallucination of the schizophrenic(s) or a truly parallel reality in which humanity has taken a different path of development. By the way, about eclecticism and associations: many people write about the Legion - I agree, there is something in this. But Legion was more creepy and brain-racking for me, so far the focus has been, as it seemed to me, on the absurdity of life and the exclusivity (in the sense that they are excluded) of the main characters. And yet, for some reason, this whole thing with chosenness, heroes, packages at the door resembles the Matrix. After the second episode, I thought about Lost.
Boulder Dash? The one?) I played it in the early 90s on the spectrum. I'm surprised that they remembered such antiquity, and even an inconspicuous one)
The first episode was very interesting, but is the series really that difficult to translate? I started watching it three times in three different voiceovers, and each time the translations were different. "BTI and Nevafilm" is actually some kind of crazy nonsense.
For example: Subtitles - "Roseau conducted an anonymous screening of all employees - the list of short-term employees consists of 12 people. " Lost - "Roseau decided to cut permanent staff and hired 12 temporary ones." BTI and Nevafilm - "Roseau followed an anonymous tip and ended up with a convict's corpse, 12 bullet holes."
This is how it should be translated in order for this to happen. Many people write that nothing is clear, well, it's actually not surprising.
@Seraphimer: Jaskier The boss tells two employees, "This is where you will work." Then he approached Owen: "Roseau went through all the employees and submitted a list of 12 vacation names."
It seems that this series is from the category of those that either cause delight or disgust — there is no other way. It is very intriguing, confusing and addictive.
It's a beautiful but vague picture. Events have stretched things out a lot. For example, it's hard for me to watch an episode for so long, in which I don't understand a thing. Get into action, eventually. I barely watched the first episode.
For me, the names of the actors don't play the biggest role, because I've seen the example of Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence, what happens when you write a bad script to a good actor (Thor and Jay, respectively), and therefore I'm not building a deliberately positive impression. But then I felt Fukunaga even before I saw his name in the credits. There is depth behind each character, the story is not chewed out but kept in mind, which is why you have to interpret certain words yourself. At the same time, a lot of information is given so that there is something to interpret. The visual style is fascinating, such a kind of neon neo-noir, reminded of Dani Villeneuve with his Blade Runner 2049 (reminded not only of the visual style but also the method of presenting the plot). The pilot is great, it feels like part of a movie divided into small pieces for easy viewing.
Nothing is clear at all and it's kind of boring. But knowing that many TV shows don't swing right away, I'll give you a chance and go watch the second episode.
However, the unusual series, Cruella top, is catchy.
The first time I watched it, it didn't go down in 2019...
I got him in the top this year, and I decided to give him a second chance.
Top production, top operator, top script ❤
It's an unusual story, of course, I don't even know what it resembles.
Conclusion: look beyond the first episode, it can be very useful. Otherwise, there is a possibility of missing a nuclear bomb by your eyes if you watch one episode at a time and immediately throw it away...
Many voiceovers are good in this series, the new movie that is on most players at number one, I consider it the gold standard, well, from the usual soundtracks.
But there is one thing...))
When I switched to a Cube in a Cube, I just started screaming with laughter. 🤣👍
The cube usually doesn't fit everywhere, but it's definitely top here.

Emma Stone is amazing, I love her.
from the middle of the second episode, it became more or less clear.
I feel great. The downside is the reason.
You can go on shit all you want.,
Because it is also not prohibited by law.
:D

I really liked the bags under Owen's eyes.
but his relatives are shitty.
