Yes. It stated out that way for me to. Now I consider it one of my favorite shows to watch. The second season was great.Watched the first episode. Really cheesy. Is it worth continuing?
Yeah the first few were that way. Once they find they aren't alone it starts picking up steam. Ultimately "There are no good guys" is what ends up setting it up as a good show for me.I got halfway through the 2nd episode. :X so cheesy man.
the teen stuff is god-awful and never really goes totally away. but most of it gets replaced by a fun ride. it's worth sticking out, IMO.I got halfway through the 2nd episode. :X so cheesy man.
I'm only on episode 9 but the blond lead and the mechanic have grown on me more than Marie. Marie got in her swimsuit in episode 1 but a bunch of whining since. The mechanic is top notch though.Worth sticking with it for Marie Avgeropoulos.
I can't blame you for giving up, given the above. That stuff doens't go away- and if you can't get overlook it, the show definitely isn't worth your time (even though- again- the rest is pretty fun)I gave it a fair shot based on solid recommendations from trusted sources in the Netflix thread but didn't make it past the 4th episode. I think the last straw for me was when they captured an earth dweller, stripped his shirt off and tied him up and he looked exactly like a model from a teen magazine ad, complete with six pack, tats and designer jeans. Of course one of the hot chicks fell for him immediately.

I tried to watch from the beginning based on a surprisingly positive review in Slate. Like you, I found all the teen show stuff completely off putting.
Since then, I've watched occasionally (never regularly). Just enough to know the broad outlines of what is going on. There is still some silly stuff. Allegiances change quickly for no other reason than to manufacture drama. But the show has admirably taken Clark from a pretty paint by numbers YA heroine and turned her into a deeply flawed, interesting anti-hero capable of truly horrible actions when she feels she has no choice. In season two, she allows her boyfriend to be executed and essentially commits genocide when she feels she has no other options. And the show is pretty good at letting you know she feels the weight of those decisions.
Completely realistic, IMO. I liked the show more as it went on. Waiting for S2 to show up on Netflix.Of course one of the hot chicks fell for him immediately.
Thanks! Not sure there are many still watching, but I'm in.roarlions said:New season starts tonight
What didn't you like about episode 1?Kinda sad after the enjoyment I got from the previous seasons... that first episode for this season was just god-awful and has me walking away.
Unless somebody says the second episode gets much, much better

So wrong GB. Great finale! Love the setup for next season. 4 (!) mysteries (what happen to Wonkru, what happened in space, wtf is this true blood girl with Clarke, who are these sky prisoners) and Wanheda has a hot new haircut. GREAT tv!the finale completely sucks fwiw.... but is still awesome.

eta: can't wait to see who's double-crossing and getting it on with who next season! nice edit, nick
almost the entire thing was "can they get to the bunker/space-ship" in time. people tripping, obstacles arising out of nothing, the works. it was terrible.Nick Vermeil said:So wrong GB. Great finale!

This show goes to 11.raise your hand if you wandered in here via the G.o.T. thread
on a 1-10 scale - recommendation for binge watching on Kodi?
and, most importantly - is the quality of tail even in the G.o.T. ballpark?
