I just finished the series. At the beginning I thought it was another teen show. I gave it a chance because of John Leguizamo and. Toni Collette, both amazing actors. I wasn't disappointed. What seemed like a primarily feminist story started showing all sides and as a woman, I was able to watch this as a woman and understand, and sympathize with, the point of view of most the men in the show while at the same time understanding and sympathizing with most of the women.

Are the women portrayed as victims who gain power? Yes. But typically women are victims in society, so that makes sense. Are the men shown as losing a little bit of power? Yes, because that is what would happen if women had this power. In the movie some people were outraged at the violence some women used their power for, but if you violate and abuse anyone, male or female, anger builds while PTSD plays a factor. As a society we just don't see a lot of violation and abuse of men at the same level as that of women, but boys who are violated and abused grow up to be very angry, but not all. It's almost inevitable. So it makes sense that some women resorted to violence.

Then, at the end of the debate, Margot loses her cool and attacks her opponent. If it had been the other way and Dandon had punched her, he would have been arrested immediately. So it was also showing this powerful weapon in the hands of someone maybe more emotional. But as it is a new power, is that the reason she was so quick to use it? Like her mind or body couldn't control it, and being new, she hasn't had the time to learn more about it? The EOD could be compared to excessive testosterone in a teenage boy. Add trauma and you have the perfect recipe for violence. Kind of the same thing with women.

It's 2am, I'm probably just shooting bull, but I really like this series and I can't wait to see where it goes. I might read the book.

I'm on episode 1 of season 2. I liked it more in the beginning. Now I'm OK with the show and keep it on while I'm doing something else.

1. If Aimee raised Wendy then Wendy would speak with an accent like Aimee who has a Hispanic accent.

2. General Abbott's accent bounces from American to Russian to British. They brought in a South African actor to play him, then they should have let him just use his own accent.

3. The costumes are ridiculous. How can the turtle kid be wearing a sweatshirt? The kids all look like they are in a school play.

I can't decide if this is a kids' show or not.

But it's entertaining enough.

Super amount of satire, playing into the ignorance and stupidity which engulfs the world's population, especially when talking about stuff that can kill us like, oh, I don't know, pandemics and global warming.

It's got great actors who do amazing jobs. Meryl Streep is the female equivalent of Trump with a little Bush thrown in and a touch of Clinton, with her dumbass son in a position of power in the White House. Sound familiar?

It's about a message of impending doom coming from scientists with nothing to gain but because it doesn't help the current administration in the WH it is ridiculed while that admin plays to its followers who are the typical group too stupid to think for themselves and who are easily appeased with BS. Sound familiar?

In the end the movie is just really sad. It shows just how stupid we humans are, and though it does it in a comedic way I for one don't want a reminder that because of this stupidity we are doomed.

At this point I would welcome a comet.

I'm fascinated by the stories while at the same time appalled by the backwardness of some of the officers--blaming sex workers and saying they're disgusting, saying a female murder suspect is attractive if she wears makeup then blaming her boyfriend as if she just couldn't have it in her to murder someone, threatening to beat up anyone they bring into the station whether they have any real suspicion of them being the culprit--and I'm only into episode three!

So while the crimes are motives and scenery are fascinating to me, the behavior of the police is abhorrent and it makes total sense when Indians say they are terrified of the police. They are some truly backwards people. I honestly hope not all of them are like this for the sake of the country.

The last 20 years has been a complete clustercuss, and the blame has to be put somewhere, and that somewhere is, unfortunately on the USA. If they hadn't have intervened in Afghanistan in the 90s and then left the country to fall apart none of this would have happened. It was all about keeping the Soviets from gaining control, but then screw the Afghanis once that was accomplished. What a better environment to see the rise of terrorists than in a highly unstable, uneducated and religious one. So yeah, it's biased in the fact that it all could have been prevented.

This docu-series is enlightening. I personally learned a lot which changed how I feel about things. After everything I have read on the war in Afghanistan and Afghanistan prior to the USAmerican invasion, I feel this docu-series is spot-on.

My only complaint is that it doesn't address the issue of the military industrial complex.

I like the way this was made though I was confused a bit about time. Was Sean re-enacting when it showed him going on and off the sidewalk? But other than that it's a touching look at victims, both Sean who is a victim of the disease in his brain, and the. Bouvier family, whose lives changed purely by chance that day.

It's not so much good for us viewers but for those who are questioned, to have to think about those questions and their actions and inactions. Unfortunately it doesn't quite answer any questions I may have had like, "Why did they allow it to happen?" because they said they would have been killed if they objected but there is no proof of that anywhere (as stated in the film). I've been to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka. I've seen it, and read loads about the subject, so yes, it's high time a doc was made like this, but still, no one knows why they did it. Collective insanity? Actual deep-seated hatred? Fear? Ignorance? Stupidity? Who knows. And until that answer is found is can happen again.

GRAZIE A TUTTI COLORO CHE HANNO FATTO QUESTO FILM. Finalmente un film horror valido. Complimenti.

I absolutely loved this movie. It's a capolavoro, finally, in the horror genre. AS an Italian speaker maybe I liked it more than someone who might have seen it either dubbed or with subs. There were so many little things only someone who speaks Italian and/or lives in Italy would actually understand.

I laughed, I was horrified. I didn't have to see any stupid sex scenes. What more can one ask for?

I don't usually watch Italian TV or films because seriously, the majority of them are stupid in my opinion, at least the ones I have been exposed to, so I will opt out, but this time, after seeing the trailer, I had to.

Francesco Russo is incredible. He stole the show. I hope to see more of him.

The film gives some Midsommer vibes, then just as easily some Chainsaw Massacre and then VHS. It's got twists and turns that the viewer can't imagine, and that ending with the guy rating it after only reading others' opinions and seeing literally 5 seconds of the movie? That was PRICELESS.

This movie was slash and gore and fear and terror and horror AND a social commentary and I hope to gawd there will more like it.

Ho dato solo 9 perche' ci sono dei spoofs. Sono piccoli ma notevoli a una come me.

I'm so disappointed in Ron Howard. This was a series about absolutely nothing more than a bunch of conspiracy theory searchers with nothing better to do with their lives. Sobhani the dental student is the creepiest, fakest waste of airtime in a long time, and he seems like he keeps a jar of teeth under his bed and sniffs them at night.

There should have been a lot more info from the cops and a lot less airtime given to the internet "sleuths". That was so cringy and it took the story away from Elisa Lam and just turned the whole thing into a show about internet creeps.

And what they did t the Mexican singer Morbid was criminal. Not only were all those people too stupid to understand timelines, but they were too stupid to understand what an effect their actions would have on him.

At the end these narcissists and fakes talk like they were not to blame for their actions, and most likely Elisa Lam would have hated what they did.

The low rating is because this was a waste of time, a nothing burger, just nothing. No substance, no meat, nothing, and should not have been made.

Good acting, good cast, good twists, great ending.

The kind of revenge a lot of women and girls wish they could take out on their abusers.
