UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
romneymeredith First, I love Sean Bean and generally liked all of the acting - no complaints there.The 2 problems I had was the utter darkness of this series, both metaphysically and illumination-wise. It felt like it might if I took a bath in sewage water at midnight, as an extreme comparison. It was made worse by how long the story takes to play out in both Seasons 1 and 2 - this especially is bad in Season 2, as Season 1 was tighter with more interesting subplots. Spoiler so don't read if you don't want to know what happens in Season 2. Marlot, after being resurrected, eventually becomes EXACTLY like he was originally - isn't that amazing? He still is trying to find Harvey and solve crimes, though of course he has to sneak around to avoid being recognized, considered the fact that he is/was DEAD. I just felt there was so much filler in this season that I just wanted it to be over, to come to some conclusion and a resolution. However it is very possible that a Season 3 will happen so this will probably not happen and hence it will be the final season I watch. If S2 has another open-ended ending I will definitely not watch any further seasons.IMHO, there should have been one miniseries filmed with both seasons combined. I'll tell you one thing, though - if life in the early-to-mid 1800's London was anything like this (without Frankenstein, I mean!) then I am very fortunate never to have had to lived through that horror.
lstevens-01050 I would write a review if I can watch this series. Where is it? Their Brits, this is the U.S. I do understand English...No subtitles required.
muclat Feels like the show is truly underappreciated. One might even go as far as calling it a hidden gem.The writing succeeds in creating a gripping, melancholic reality full of subtle emotion, perfectly portrayed by the cast.The absence of unnecessary flashiness and the convincing look through the eyes of the hopeless and the ambitious leaves me craving for more episodes.
SMcFirefly Sean Bean, superb as usual, leads a fantastic supporting cast through this dark and gritty investigation of mutilated corpses and the possibility of galvanizing the dead back to life. I cannot say enough about this 6 episode (what was originally supposed to be mini-series - but now renewed for a second run!) season. Everything from the costumes, the sets, and the music (oh, the great music!) is phenomenal! The opening credits and theme deserve some recognition as it was very well done (I had a Game of Thrones vibe watching it)! This could have easily ended at episode 6, because it was a perfect way to end this story, but I am also excited to see where they take Sean Bean's character next!
