SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

phoenison The episodes up to Episode 9 were perfection. Not sure what happened after that but it's like the joyful soul of the show was snatched away. After Episode 9, I'm not sad that this show was cancelled. If the events had gone differently, I would've been down for the ride. It's like they hired the writers of "Hello, Ladies" after Episode 9 or something.

dewlover420 They started out as essentially a parody of The X-Files, doing a comedic monster of the week until Episode 10.Then, when that didn't do well, not only did they go off the air for more than 6 months, (they actually went off the air after Episode 9), but they also got a new Showrunner, in Paul Lieberstein, who played Toby on The Office (US), (he is also Creator of The Office (US) Greg Daniels' brother-in-law in real life), and ran that show from Season 5 to Season 8.He took over, and from Episode 11 to Episode 15, it was essentially The Office or Parks and Recreation, (or a show like those), except in a show that started out as a wasted The X-Files parody.It also changed the plot a bit, with them obviously being unable to do a monster of the week thing, (at least, they couldn't have done it well.) Paul decided that the best plot would be for them to sit in an office all day, being boring and unfunny, worrying about how their office was bugged. There was even a whole episode trying to find, and follow, the wire.Which, was so bad that it was funny, so I guess there could be some fake points, or something, there.Then, the last episode? It's like the first half again. After a solid ending to Episode 15, me being kind of sort of hyped up for the series again, they switch the style YET AGAIN, and essentially leave that storyline unresolved. (But, they do answer another storyline, in the last episode/series finale episode, sort of.) I'm not sure if this was an episode from before Paul came on, or if he just wanted to have the series (he probably thought season at the time, if he did do this) finale episode be like the first half of the season, but either way it's confusing and annoying.There. It's not a full on review, but I feel like semi-thoroughly explaing how this series changed it's style halfway through, is enough, lol!Thanks for reading, if you did, lol!

chickory7 I am unfamiliar with Carl Tart, but he wrote or co-wrote episodes 2-9. After that, the show changed dramatically. It is no longer funny or quirky. It is just sad and depressing. New characters that add nothing to the show have been seemingly added randomly. They have no apparent skills, they have not been funny, and they seem to do no work. It was a small agency with a small group exploring actual events. Now it is a small agency with a large staff doing nothing. One of the new characters seems to be seriously mentally ill. As to their new boss Merv, get to the point. He is a horrible conventional man in a role that requires anything but. He has to have something on someone to have gotten that job, but I guess this will never be explored. Every episode I hope his tedious tenure will be over. I keep watching hoping things will turn around. Oh bring back Carl Tart!! The basic core cast is wonderful. Perhaps good writing could actually incorporate the new characters. I realize this show was recently cancelled. As it is, I'm not sad. As it was, it is such a loss. I used to so look forward to this show.

Blue_Jay_Way Adam Scott is horribly unfunny. He has no comedy timing with Craig Robinson, no chemistry with anyone else, and he seems to be trying to be the only funny guy on this show. He is annoying instead of funny. Ally Walker, formerly of Profiler, has no clue that she is on a comedy show. Every time she is on screen, she kills any comedy vibe that may have been building up. She is trying to the "straight man," but her acting is grim. She manages to be more depressing than when she was on Profiler. Adeel Akhtar is trying too hard to be the Indian guy from The Big Bang Theory, and failing awfully. Akhtar is not subtle. He is over the top in every scene. His acting is desperate, and not funny. This cast has nobody funny on it except for Craig Robinson. I don't think any of them get what the show is supposed to be about. Maybe the writers do not know what the show is about. It seems to go in different directions every episode. Sometimes it looks like Craig Robinson is going to be the lead, and other times Adam Scott is the lead. When the episodes focus on Adam Scott, they are almost completely unfunny and dreadful.
