The living look upon the corpse with their eyesight,
But without eyesight lingers a different living and looks
curiously on the corpse.

i really liked it. there's a decent amount of violence and the cursing is cool. the latter seasons really shine in the drama department.

Yeah it's good and the acting is fantastic. How did they even manage to find that many good kid actors? All the adults are from the UK so that explains itself.

The dykey bad rear end gangster chick was an actual hitman or something. She got off on manslaughter charges if I remember right.

It is worth watching just for that one scene where they say gently caress a lot.

I had a coworker say he tried watching it, but stopped at the beginning once he saw it was 4:3.

Recently I got thrown for a loop, actually, because I turned on my television and based on what I saw, the images that were playing on the screen, I interpreted it as I thought The Wire was on. So I sat down on my couch to watch it because it'd been a while since I'd seen it and I remember it being an excellent show. But then I came to the slow realization that I wasn't actually watching The Wire, that show I love. I was actually watching a news program showing footage of the Baltimore riots.

This was back around when the Baltimore riots were going on.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Yes, it is good. (But it is overrated.)

It's a good show, but man is it overrated.

You're going to hear people saying it's very very very very very very very very very very very very good. That's bullshit.

of course its good

jesus christ is the internet so terrible now that even something that's unanimously praised becomes "Is it really good? Do goons think its good? Is it actually a good thing or just a thing that people say is good?" Just watch it, its one of the most praised shows of all time and nothing since has been even close to as ambitious

yes it owns.

it just kinda throws you into it and doesn't gently caress around so you may feel a little lost in the first couple episodes but stick with it.

and the second season is really good but you might be worried/wonder if you're watching the same show for a little while.
