How was this series? I'm definitely pulling down this copy. Just interested in what people thought of it.

Thanks!

Pretty bad. Here are some pros and cons

Pros

First 2-3 episodes are really good, it builds a good mystery of the show and keeps you interested.
The Asian girl is a great actress and I can see her moving onto other stuff down the road.
All the kids parents are really good actors.
The purple hair girl and and the white girl are both decent actors too.
It has Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a main character.

Cons

The show quickly turns into a cliche WB show, the worst part was they all take a stance before fighting the bad guys. Like they all got together and stood a certain way. It made me cringe.
The African american kid has really bad lines and is pretty flat at delivering them.
The Latino girl is a really bad actress and really ruins the immersion of the show. Removing her character completely would make the show much better.
The jock kid is stupid, but somehow is a super genius at the same time. Also no, he wasn't pretending to be stupid, just they had him start off stupid stupid.
Purple haired girls character is really annoying. She acted fine, just how they portray her is annoying. Her whole stick is "im so different, but the really cute jock guy who works out all the time will be into me even though I dont work on myself." Its pretty outlandish and just feels like they threw her in there to relate to people as oppose to be her own character.
The African American dad's thug life story is really poorly done.

Overall Rating

4/10

The show had potential but the writers and director(s) just ruined it.

Somewhat Similar Shows To Watch Instead

Dirk Gently Holistic Detective Agency - Season 1 is great, Season 2 is good
Shuteye - Season 1 is amazing - season 2 is okay
The Flash - It is a cliche superhero show, but the dynamic between the cast is great which makes up for it.
The Magicians - Think Harry Potter but with more sex and messed up things, first few episodes are slow but it gets great after that.
The Expanse - Season 1 is okay, but Season 2 is great.

Dislikes runaways and suggests the flash? No thanks

[-] kaching335 | 3 points | Jan 14 2018 13:43:44

The Flash is great though

[-] mininestime | 1 points | Jan 14 2018 16:08:48

The Flash is not super great in terms of quality, but the cast;s dynamic is really good. It might be a guilty pleasure of mine, we all have one show that we shouldn't like but do. Id give it a try for a few episodes. Just skip the Arrow Cross over episodes, and anyone where Barry's GF is the main focus and the show is great.

[-] Rainwak3r | 1 points | Jan 14 2018 17:14:00

After 2 seasons i watched i stopped watchin it cuz I just couldnt stop hating the show because of Iris' character. No regrets

[-] mininestime | 2 points | Jan 14 2018 18:30:14

Yea thats his GF in the show, she is annoying and episodes where she is the focus suck, but the dynamic between the rest of the cast is really good, and In my opinion they make up for it.

[-] Zodep | 1 points | Jan 13 2018 20:13:16

I have Dirk on on my watch list.
I haven’t heard if Shuteye, but will definitely look into it
I’ve been enjoying the Flash and will binge it after the season finished airing
I keep seeing he magicians posted, but never looked into it. I certainly will now.
I thoroughly enjoy the Expanse books and the first season was pretty good. I have the second season ready to go when there’s time.

[-] mininestime | 2 points | Jan 14 2018 01:01:23

Out of all those "The Magicians" would be the most highly rated show IMO. The name is what makes it sound stupid, but its really good if you can make it past the first 2ish episodes you will be hooked.

[-] viper8828 | 1 points | Jan 13 2018 22:52:54

thanks for an indepth post, will probably skip it just like the lame netflix defenders etc. i will say that future man was hilarious if you can get past that its back to the future written by a 12 yr old boy who just discovered his 8==D, ie seth rogan lol

[-] mininestime | 1 points | Jan 14 2018 00:59:57

Future man was good, however I stopped watching after 4 episodes in. The joke that things are different in the past got boring. It started pretty strong and was funny, but it seemed to rely to heavily on that joke.

Defenders > Luke Cage > Punisher > Iron Fist is my opinion on this. All are pretty meh in quality compared to Jessica Jones and Daredevil. Luke Cage started strong then the threw in a villain that wears super sweats and apparently a facemask covering his eyes makes it so Luke Cage cant punch his face. Iron Fist was just a incoherent mess. Defenders was decent, if you forget the weird music that ruins the shows pacing.

I think the problem is Disney has the rights to too many of the villains in the Marvel Universe and wont let netflix gain access to them, so we are given heroes with no good villains to fight. The best two shows has great villains. Kingpin and Killgrave. The other ones had no one interesting and it hurt the show.

Why not try it and make up your own mind about it ? Just wondering where this trend of people making a judgement on things they haven't seen based on comments by others.

[-] viper8828 | 2 points | Jan 14 2018 03:04:49

well my isp bandwidth is very low and theres millions of hours of millions of different types of things to watch so when i sit down during my tiny few hrs a week to watch something, i want to try to make sure its worth my time so things that i might not possibly like get pushed back, i still have alot of things on my list i need to watch yet lol.

[-] AmazingAnagram | 1 points | Jan 23 2018 08:33:28

You don't happen to have Shuteye? I cant find it anywhere and the trailer looks awesome!

[-] mininestime | 1 points | Jan 23 2018 17:44:15

[-] AmazingAnagram | 1 points | Jan 24 2018 02:38:50

[-] YAHawkeye | 3 points | Jan 13 2018 18:20:50

Haven't watched it, but read the comics which are really good

[-] nothashrocket | 1 points | Jan 14 2018 02:06:27

Agreed, the comics are great. I was surprised how much the show deviated from them.

[-] YAHawkeye | 1 points | Jan 14 2018 11:45:50

Only on Episode 4 but in a good way or bad way?

[-] nothashrocket | 1 points | Jan 14 2018 16:39:50

i'm not sure if it's really good or bad. just different. I don't want to spoil it for you. I'll just say, "different". Over all I like the show. I've seen far worse. There's some good parts to the show. I'll keep watching it for now.

[-] YAHawkeye | 1 points | Jan 15 2018 09:41:26

Alright finished. I'm kind of disappointed that they changed the Staff of One's backstory? I agree that it's different. But it doesn't really feel part of the MCU??

[-] nothashrocket | 1 points | Jan 16 2018 02:00:06

Yep, it really changed. I'm not sure how I feel. There's a lot to like, I think. But it really deviated from the comics.

I think Marvel has a MCU canon and a comics canon. :/

[-] JFeth | 3 points | Jan 13 2018 18:26:50

It was ok. The kids were the best part. They changed a lot about the parent's story to make them not so evil. Also, the title is Runaways, but they don't run away for a long time.
