“and coherent in any single fucking way?”

He didn’t write or create this, just EP and some directing so you can’t lay it all on him. The Last Duel was more than competent too. Obviously it’s a safe bet than an 84 year old is on the decline but I’m not blaming any problems with this show on his age. 

Ridley Scott is 84 years old and this show is evidence of his mental deterioration that (in my guestimation) began with Prometheus.

Other words to describe: “Preposterous,” “ridiculous” and “hilariously bad.”

I can’t recall where I saw this said about season 1, but it’s sound advice:
“Find yourself something you love as much as Ridley Scott loves milky fluids pouring out of robots”

*Season 1 Spoilers*: This show is a Prometheus-level mess. The many completely impossible things (how Mother flies, the composition of the planet they are on, and giant non-gravity-obeying alien snake bb) insist that either this show takes place in a simulation or somewhere that all magic is real. That argues that the…

“Intriguing, but never entirely satisfying” is the perfect way to describe the show.

Yes, a movie about how Freddie was oh-so-brilliant, but he could be a bit difficult and mercurial, and oh if he had just listened to his bandmates more and been willing to share the credit...gag me.

That last paragraph, as well as much of the article, is hard to square with a B- grade. Those are pretty damning indictments. How could all that be true (I trust by the full review that your arguments are strong that all of that is true) and the grade still be so high? TBH, it was always highly unlikely I’d watch…

Dr. Brian May approved a script that made Freddie seem like a guy who sang in the band for a few years.

ew, I don’t think I want to be anywhere near anything anyone from Motley Crue has “authentically lived in”.

Obligatory “fuck you it’s January!”

Daniel Craig IS Henry The VIII IN: The Fish Wife.

It is being released now, clearly, to warn Daniel Craig of what life will be like post-James Bond and to lure him back for a two-picture deal.  You thought that you did not need US?

The big twist is that he's part of the Spanish Inquisition.
Nobody expects that.

"Gaad! It's an inanimate fucking object!"

"March 8, 1983 is a date that will go down in infamy because it’s the day Paige gave away her parents’ biggest secret"—-are you serious?! Paige is a HEROINE for choosing to be loyal to her country of birth and citizenship.

It's up there with VEEP for most realistic show right now.

It's pretty remarkable that Todd getting shot in the face, fleeing for his life, and slowly getting strangled to death probably won't even crack the top 5 most brutal scenes.
