- CriadorDaniel KnaufEstrelasMichael J. AndersonAdrienne BarbeauClancy BrownDurante a Grande Depressão, um menino de Oklahoma e um ministro carismático aprendem que são os principais atores duma guerra entre o Céu e o Inferno.Fantastic periodic portrayal.
Boring and messy storyline
Total lack of humour
Ridiculous incestuous Justin Iris gaaazzzing
wtf Sofie moments:
sexual climax coincide with end of drought rain (really!)
turning from motherless emancipated tarot girl to Christian psycho sect subject to demon bred
Miscastings, Hallmark TV movie performances:
Tim DeKay (Jooonesy, limb spitter)
Adrienne Barbeau (Ruthie, senior snake charmer) - CriadoresSteven LevitanChristopher LloydEstrelasEd O'NeillSofía VergaraJulie BowenTrês famílias diferentes mas relacionadas enfrentam provas e tribulações de formas particularmente cômicas.Nice beat, great crew, somehow gets away with any goofy slapstick idea presented.
Terrrriiible Manny Delgado kid, those lines should never have been written for any child role.
Stopped watching during season 2, tried again in S3, fast forwarding...it's over. - CriadorAaron SorkinEstrelasMartin SheenRob LoweAllison JanneyUm olhar sobre a vida dos funcionários na ala oeste da Casa Branca.impressively complex storytelling within a standard drama series format
Too much up tempo wise crack rush talk
Annoying oh-we-fixed-the-world-in-a-day-again arcs - CriadorTina FeyEstrelasTina FeyAlec BaldwinTracy MorganLiz Lemon é a escritora de um show de comédia é deverá lidar com um novo chefe arrogante e uma nova estrela louca, enquanto tenta levar o show do melhor jeito.Some great quirky characters, nice ensemble piece.
Challenging pace, must hold the record for most dialogue per recorded footage. - CriadorMitchell HurwitzEstrelasJason BatemanMichael CeraPortia de RossiMichael Bluth assume os assuntos da família depois que seu pai é preso. Mas o resto de sua família estragada e disfuncional está fazendo seu trabalho insuportável.S4&5 remake missed my mark
- CriadorJenji KohanEstrelasMary-Louise ParkerHunter ParrishAlexander GouldQuando uma mãe do subúrbio vende maconha para manter seu estilo de vida privilegiado após a morte de seu marido, ela descobre o quão viciada já é sua vizinhança inteira.Season 4-5:
Sooo, all the things that worked flawlessly in season 1-3 comes back with a sloppy vengeance and it gets worse for every episode.
Still an offbeat charmer but running out of ideas. We get to know Nancy and Andy much better though, grow up with Shane and Isabelle and suffer nicely with barking Doug. Alanis Morissette/Dr. Audra surprishingly refreshing as back in the day
Lowlights:
Hunter Parrish/Silas not exactly maturing with accommodating acting chops, silly cougar Julia Bowen dream team
Celia stories loosing touch, here comes a lost daughter, a rehab, a red rebel, a lesbian wacko pyramid perfume queen and here they go again while Perkins are bashing her arms and rolling eyes every second scene.
Demián Bichir/Esteban whispering, gleaning, smoking 30 cm long cigars, omg
Guillermo! What!? Same mystery with Seychelle Gabriel/Adelita & Kate del Castillo/Pilar. Hardly colourful, completely nonsense soap storylines.
Daynah Burnett, popmatters
"I want to laugh at its jokes, but its constant oscillation between vilification and victimization of its female characters leaves me frustrated, and more than a little pissed off. The women of Weeds can be bitches, but the men are typically babies. Their behavior remains unchecked and unpunished, and their characterizations are mostly sympathetic, even as they can’t decide if they want Nancy to be Mommy or MILF." - CriadoresLaura DernMike WhiteEstrelasLaura DernDiane LaddSarah BurnsUma mulher autodestrutiva que tem um despertar espiritual torna-se determinada a viver uma vida iluminada, causando estragos em casa e no trabalho.
- CriadoresDavid BenioffD.B. WeissEstrelasEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNove famílias nobres lutam pelo controle sobre as terras míticas de Westeros, enquanto um antigo inimigo retorna depois de estar adormecido por milhares de anos.Big budget fantasy universe succeeds although some surprisingly big flaws sneaked in, worst of all Daenerys Xena princess warrior among savage mascara men.**
All explanation of the 4000+ pages saga and legacy is given to characters to explain (instead of voice over narrator or similar) which just about works considering the magnitude.
Final screenplay turns out as a strange mix of noble family life, generic fantasy action, generic political power play and scheming and repeatedly gratuitous sex and incestuous relations*
Meanwhile every adult character inside any house is having a glass of wine in-between lines and closing scenes with waving in, evil James Bond villain style, guardsmen/happy whores/court jesters/able servants.
Still a compelling story and impressive production and cast effort overall.

"This continent, of course, is swarming with feudal lords, traitorous schemers, prostitutes, women the lords treat like prostitutes, and women the show runners treat like prostitutes, nearly all of whom, children included, are protecting devastating secrets and itching to slit somebody, anybody's, throat. "
"...Every act of brutality, every assaulted woman, every exoticized barbarian is presented for the delectation of the audience. No prostitute appears on screen without her bosom already exposed, no transgressive sex act occurs without the frame of luxuriant tapestries or the glow of moonlight upon it. This show's historical misogyny and racism are purely aesthetic, and that's a problem we should hope this series works out on the double." - CriadoresAlex GansaHoward GordonEstrelasClaire DanesMandy PatinkinDamian LewisUm agente bipolar da CIA está convencido de que a al-Qaeda transformou um prisioneiro de guerra e planeja realizar um ataque terrorista em solo norte americano.
- CriadoresJane CampionGerard LeeEstrelasElisabeth MossDavid WenhamPeter MullanObcecado com o desaparecimento de uma menina grávida de 12 anos perto de um lago congelado na Nova Zelândia, um detetive corajoso vai descobrir os segredos de uma pequena cidade e um lado dela que foi meticulosamente mantido à distância.
- CriadoresGlen A. LarsonRonald D. MooreEstrelasEdward James OlmosMary McDonnellJamie BamberQuando um antigo inimigo, os Cylons, ressurge e destrói as 12 colônias, a tripulação do Galactic antigo protege uma pequena frota civil, a última da humanidade.Probably only S1&2. Back in the pre-streaming days it was spectacular
- CriadorAllan CubittEstrelasGillian AndersonJamie DornanJohn LynchEm Belfast, uma policial dura mas passional enfrenta um pai aparentemente abnegado que na verdade é um assassino em série. O único que eles têm em comum é sua complexidade.
- CriadoresRichard PriceSteven ZaillianEstrelasRiz AhmedJohn TurturroBill CampUm estudante americano de origem paquistanesa busca ajuda jurídica após ser envolvido em um assassinato em Nova York.
- CriadoresPamela AdlonLouis C.K.EstrelasPamela AdlonMikey MadisonHannah RileyUma atriz cria as suas três filhas enquanto enfrenta as pressões de trabalhar em Hollywood e ser mãe solteira.
- CriadorFabrice GobertEstrelasAnne ConsignyClotilde HesmeFrédéric PierrotUma pequena comunidade montanhosa é abalada quando várias pessoas locais presumidamente mortas reaparecem repentinamente em suas casas.
- CriadoresAlex TimbersRoman CoppolaJason SchwartzmanEstrelasGael García BernalLola KirkeSaffron BurrowsUm novo mestre, Rodrigo, desperta a Sinfonia de Nova York enquanto a jovem Hailey espera por sua grande chance.Soap opera at the opera! Great use of music and arty themes. Love the tours to Venice and Mexico. Lola Kirke perfect match for the casual style. Classical music fans probably properly pissed off.
- CriadoresElwood ReidBjörn SteinMeredith StiehmEstrelasDemián BichirDiane KrugerThomas M. WrightTwo detectives work together to take down a serial killer operating on both sides of the Texas-Chihuahua border.
- CriadorDavid FarrEstrelasTom HiddlestonOlivia ColmanAlistair PetrieO gerente noturno de um hotel no Cairo é recrutado para se infiltrar no círculo interno de um traficante de armas.
- CriadorJoe PenhallEstrelasJonathan GroffHolt McCallanyAnna TorvNo final dos anos 70, dois agentes do FBI são encarregados de entrevistar assassinos em série para resolver casos abertos.
- CriadorJoseph WeisbergEstrelasKeri RussellMatthew RhysKeidrich SellatiDurante a Guerra Fría, dois agentes rusos finguem ser uma familia normal americana.Historical episodes tie-in and set designs fantastic. The main premise seems to lock them down and keep the drama oh so dramatic and predictable. They meet some new people and we wonder if they will glimpse the truth. If they do they'll die sooner or later anyway. Two or more people have sex. Next episode.
It's fine. Russell is made for this kind of series.
Surprised about the rave from some of the magazine reviewers claiming it's up there with ensemble pieces as Sopranos (without its humour) or The Wire (without its scope). - CriadorAlan BallEstrelasAnna PaquinStephen MoyerSam TrammellSookie Stackhouse, uma mulher telepática encontra um mundo sobrenatural e conhece ao Bill, um vampiro de Lousiana.
- CriadoresChristopher CantwellChristopher C. RogersEstrelasLee PaceScoot McNairyMackenzie DavisSegue alguns atores da revolução tecnológica dos anos 80 que levou à sociedade da informação.Strange mix of spectacular set design, careful US tech industry storytelling and pure soap drama king&queens main characters bathed in golden lightning at any time of year or day. Scoot McNairy's Gordon and Toby Huss' Boz are just great nevertheless.
- CriadoresMark GatissSteven MoffatEstrelasBenedict CumberbatchMartin FreemanUna StubbsUma atualização moderna encontra ao famoso detetive e seu parceiro médico resolvendo um crime na Londres do século 21.Not really about the villains - nothing at stake there - but it doesn't really matter in this universe and with these actors
