Zoo (TV Series) The Barrier (2017) User Reviews

not a good series this time round

[ladyboss11-791-817063 · 5/10 · 21 January 2018]

I also thought the series would end with this one, i was on the same line as the last reviewers thoughts, how ever i also thought that as these people were supposed to be friends for the last 3 series they stabbed each other in the back quite a lot in this series, i wouldn't have thought they would be so mean to each other, and Jamie was the worst of them all, with Jackson a clear second, how can you say you want to stop someone and then save their life, knowing that only death would stop them, i have given 5/10 because i thought some of the episodes to be good and some of the actors were ok, i will watch the next series, hope its as good as the first 2

such a good start of the show and bad ending

[nikavtaradze · 6 October 2017]

hope there wont be season 4, the show was great in season 1 and become one of the worst in by season 3... I already wrote review about unrealistic plot and character development, but nut only unrealistic - every character became unlikable and even irritating... in season 3 I only liked Logan but they didn't used this character properly, he could be one of the main, he was interesting and tbh very good looking, after killing him I lost last interest in this show. I loved first team, I was sad when they killed Chloe but now I'm glad, they would destroy her character too like every other... p.s. dialogues are soo poor, I'm tired hearing phrases "will it work?", "it must work", "it worked" in every 5-10 minutes, can't they come up anything else?

SOMEONE PLEASE PICK THIS SHOW UP

[justfreshh · 10/10 · 7 December 2021]

I don't care what the negative reviews say, this show NEEDS a season 4 with a proper ending.

I'm absolutely devastated that I binged this show only for it to end on a massive cliffhanger😭 It may not be a masterpiece of a show but it's very entertaining and deserves to end on a high.

I'M BEGGING SOMEONE PLEASE PICK THIS UP.

Horrible ending.

[hugor · 3/10 · 19 October 2019]

Just finished binge-watching this show and i gotta say, it started with a very cool concept, well thought out and the story move along fine. Season 1 was great television. 8 stars

Season 2 got a bit worse, but still managed to keep me interested and was still good. 7 stars.

And then, season 3 happened and it went down the drain. Absurd situations. Horrid dialogue. I kept facepalming every scene... the villain was laughable, the whole thing looked like a surreal soap-opera.

I didn't expect much, i'll be honest, but season 3 was too bad. 1 star.

Watch the first (and maybe second) season, but avoid the third. It also ends on a massive cliffhanger, as they'd probably expect to be renewed (good thing they weren't).

Poor writing staff

[mccarraa · 1/10 · 22 September 2017]

Worst season so far, I don't know what happened to writing staff. So many problems, big and small. Example after the last Beacon was turn off, they got up and started shooting as a group, magically not hitting the back of the head of the person in front lol All the main character's that are left after Logan was killed off are liars, backstabbers/frontstabbers and not likable anymore. I'm starting the HATE fact that they kill a person off only to bring them back, I really have lost count. But the main problem I have is the Sam storyline, why put something bad into his blood to never talk about it and plus how slow is Sam if everyone is telling him Abigail is a bad person. I'm trying to end with something nice, the acting is not bad lol RIP Logan, Looking forward to seeing you in a different role.

Horrible ending to a very bad season 3

[ksarant · 1/10 · 17 October 2017]

I was hoping this would be the end of the series, but no, it clearly will go on for another season, with a new heightened version of the same threat that made this season so poor. But I will not watch any future season, I'm done with this series. The writing got worse with each episode in season 3. Abigail has to be one of the worst and most poorly written roles ever in a TV series, and Jackson this year was almost as bad. Their scenes together were outrageously bad. As another user review pointed, Logan was just about the only sympathetic character this season.

hoped for an ending, didn't get it (spoiler alert)

[ivodebacker-55458 · 1/10 · 19 October 2019]

As some other reviewers wrote, this show started out promising but it got worse every episode from season 2 on. Suspense is necessary, but in this series I think just about every lead character made terrible decisions that could destroy the world, where, had they just waited one second more, the world was save. That's nice the first time, maybe also the second or third time, but it becomes ridiculous when it happens five times every episode, so to speak. And where it starts off as a series with regular people trying to stop regular animals, it evolves into the same humans now having unnatural powers, in a futuristic setting (people controlling animals with their minds, safari guide becoming super doctor, veterinarian becoming expert in just about everything to do with science (and by coincidence his daughter is pregnant the only child in the world), journalist becoming "Bruce Lee". That said, the more "powers" they possessed, the more stupid mistakes they made. And I still kept watching because, knowing it ended after season 3, I was hoping to get an ending to the story. But that's not how television networks do it. How many times have series ended without actually ending, leaving the viewers clueless? You don't read a book, and then stop reading 5 pages from the end, do you? So disgusted by this, I should have spent my time doing something else

Open end

[DanielAbenthum · 1/10 · 7 March 2018]

The third season was weak and strange...but it also was exciting and thrilling. But an Open end ist terrible! It's The worst end of a interesting and entertaining serial!

Should have ended at season 2

[tony-784-915089 · 1/10 · 18 October 2023]

Nothing I hate more than writers getting bored. Completely ruined what was a fairly good show but the everything about the last series was terrible. Hang you head in shame😩seems to me that a lot of these series forget about the story and just do it for money it makes a real difference when they finish on a perfect end ie Monk, The Big Bang theory to name but two. Other shows ruined by bad endings: stargate, don't get me started on that!! It should be a rule to have the whole thing written so it all makes sense.

I always wonder if the actors hate endings like this or again wether it's a money thing.
