Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
b W Saw this on the CRACKLE app. Fun show. Addictive. Main characters were captivating. I Wasn't a Peter Weller fan until now. Robocop didn't do it for me at all. His role can be just a hair over the line at times with the cigar but overall the entire cast was getting it done very well. Loved the intro. It was a bit heavy on the repetition of certain musical overlays. A few episodes had heavy nudity and mind blowing adult situations (not complaining). The storyline could be viewed as one-sided and shallow. Weller's on screen son had a weird relationship with his girlfriend. Some of the characters were underutilized and one was killed off with an awkward transition. There was lots of potential for gadgets considering but not created. A made for TV movie would have been nice. Other series to consider: Last Resort, Powers and Chosen:the box
gaylard-1 I am in awe of how awful this show is. It seems to have a cult following which confounds me. Let me be completely clear: this show is so retarded that I thought it was British.The overacting is complimented nicely by the horrid writing. The character design is so obvious that the pilot is virtually unwatchable. If there is one thing I despise, it's watching a show that has a tramp, a strong woman, a prodigal son, and a conflicted leader. This show has practically been written from a textbook.If I had the choice, I would rather swallow a gallon my fermented spitwine than watch another episode of this god-awful tripe.
Knut Torgersen (knutt) ... to quote an old Ian Hunter tune. When I saw this one on sale at my favorite DVD shop, I did some research and found it to be a) canceled and b) rated to be a top of the tops show, so I found out I'd take a chance and added it to my collection.The series hit me like a ton of bricks. For one, they actually had RUDE comments to each other and they dared using f-words! This made the dialog fresh, real and very funny. Dialog, generally, in the show is (well, was) intelligent.The actors is a chapter by itself. All of them do a marvelous job, but I'd like to emphasize that Peter Weller is PERFECT as Chuck Taggart.One other thing about the show that I like is the fact that the episodes are interconnected in such a way that they tell a story, and not like, say, Star Trek Enterprise, where every episode is yet another travel in any arbitrary direction and you can see the episode totally as a standalone. O5 is more like the later seasons of Stargate SG-1: You'd better pay attention or you will miss something.Some guy or committee at Showtime found out that "No, we don't want this", so it got canceled after season 1 finished. Too bad and actually for GOOD sci-fi, a disaster. Odyssey 5 was probably THE best series in this category, and they canceled it. I can only suggest that people reading this that love the show, go over to Manny Coto's fan site (address on his IMDb profile) and register their opinions in the forum, so that Mr. Coto HOPEFULLY does what he say he want to do: Continue or start over.
gingeriffic Not bad, but I don't understand the love from the other commenters. It was an interesting story, and I enjoyed Sebastian Roche. Peter Weller's performance really grated on me. I have actually known a few astronauts and believe me, they don't act like that! That cowboy nonsense is long gone. Worst for me was that the writers resorted to liberal use of vulgar words as a substitute for, oh, I don't know, actual dialog. I don't mind an occasional curse word, being an occasional user myself, but when whole conversations consist of: "S**t" "F**k, f**k"You know something is missing!
