User Reviews

I Don't Think Some of You Get it!

First, this show is based off an American comic series, it's not just made up out of nowhere. The comic is very closely related to the japanese manga Assassination Classroom. If you are hating on the plot, it's because you know absolutely nothing of the premise. ALL Tv shows and Movies are unrealistic. TV and Movies are an extension of Theater. Theater productions specialize in dramatizing and exaggerating the story visually, that's the point. I digress.

I watched the whole pilot twice. I will agree on the second view I started to see the holes. There really wasn't much build up, so I hope over the next few episodes we see some really strong character development. The production value is top notch, I almost thought I was watching an HBO series.

Where this series might fail a bit, is the writing, and development of characters which seems to be an issue throughout tv and the film industry. The dialog between characters can be a bit stale and cliched.

I could spend all day poking holes in other people's hard work. I am not that guy though. This is something a little different than what we are used to watching on TV, so allow yourself to be entertained. If you are one of those people who are going to pick everything to pieces, don't waste your time. Remember it's still the SyFy channel. They aren't known for their stellar production and actors. So far I like the show, and I am willing to deal with the holes for now. Let's watch the rest of the season and see how it goes.
