This isn't like your average neflix drawn out, boring docuseries. By that I mean that it's actually good! The cases are obviously tragic and would be enough by themselves to make even the most stoic true crime fan a little emotional, but the interviews with the parents and family were very real and moving. It's not overblown or overly dramatic and quite respectful which I liked.

I'm only a few episodes in btw, but I probably will watch the whole thing in a few days. When Missing Turns to Murder is a refreshingly concise production and hopefully Netflix will consider the positive reviews and try to match this kind of quality in future.

The Enterprise finds a lone Borg drone, separated from the collective, and brings him aboard. The drone begins to reassert his individuality, but his presence causes differing levels of fear and sympathy from various crew members.

I felt like telling Dr Crusher to stfu for most of this episode. I'm surprised Riker didn't tell her to get off her high horse and stop pontificating. The Borg kill every human they encounter, yet she's disgusted at the idea of leaving this horrifying murderer to die.

Only Guinan seems to make any sense in this episode reminding everyone of the extreme dangers of keeping the Borg unit on board.

Worth watching for sure!

So here we have the crew responding to a distress call from Tasha Yar's home planet. The one that has fallen into anarchy and the federation was like "meh screw em" or something.

Now lets be straight up here, the actual direction and pacing are a bit dodge. Also the crew reacts somewhat uncharacteristically at times... But!

What makes this episode not worth skipping for me is the actress that plays Tasha Yar's sister Ishara. Beth Toussaint is drop dead hot first of all, but gives a good performance. Like I've read in many other reviews, I wish they'd have taken her on as permanent crew member. She's more exiting to watch and quite likely a better actor than the established female cast, whom we all know don't really get a fair shake as goes writing.

That said this isn't the strongest episode, but it does give some back story to Tasha Yar and her planet. Also hot.

This episode has the enterprise rescuing a lost colony of SPACE IRISH STEREOTYPES and its pretty damned funny. I'm well used to terrible Irish accents and this is up there, the first time I head their voices I was LMAO. It's space leprechauns (that's how you spell that btw) that all are drunk and carry hip flasks and live amongst the sheep and cattle, like I and my people of course do every day.

Anyways I'm only halfway through this at present. Riker seems to be into the hot "Irish lass" and also they are brewing poiteen on the ship, which I wholeheartedly approve of. I hope Worf gets to taste some proper Irish poiteen.

It's funny to me, but I can see how this would be asinine to a lot of people. I tip me awld hat to ye.

So this episode has the enterprise very wisely send their chief engineer alone onto an unknown enemy vessel full of space morons, ostensibly to repair their guidance system or some ****. If I was acting captain I would have sent an entire engineering team of 4, along with Worf and a full security detail, to ensure expedient resolution of the issue and that nothing can possibly go wrong?

Anyways it doesn't turn out quite how they expect somehow and the space morons pull some untowards ****..

Meanwhile Picard needs surgery and heads off with everyones favourite character. In this B plot we do get a great moment where Picard tells Wesley about the time he got in a fight with some cheating Nausicans (PLAY DOM JOT HUMAN?).

Personally I enjoyed most of this episode and wouldn't put it on my own personal skip list.

I will admit that I was put off by the opening with the Victorian English carriage drawn by horses at the start. I was like what is going on I thought we were in prehistoric fantasy land not Victorian London...

This second season is really not as compelling to me as the first. We went from our favourite Dino and Caveman duo fighting off mythical giant monsters to mostly fighting humans over and over. It's not as brutally violent too.

Anyways now I've almost reached the ridiculous and stupid character limit required by IMDb lately so I'll end by saying this episode is worth watching, but it's a bit awkwardly placed in the series.

I've read a lot of reviews on here that just complain about the gore, or say "humans and dinos never existed"... As if that's an argument. It's not. If your kids are dumb enough to start believing that's a fact just because of this show that's your fault. But anyway!

Like fair enough of course not everyone is into hardcore realistic violence, but that doesn't give you the slightest grounds to say the show is 1/10 on that basis alone. It's a non review.

That out of the way, I rate this show 10 out of 10. And I mean that. I loved every minute of this show, that does what hollywood can't and without any dialogue. You get to know Spear and Fang over time and see their relationship and trust develop. They are complicated characters too, somehow even though they never speak.

Anyways I loved it I was hooked, it's so visceral and yet beautiful. I can say that I'm a huge Tartakovsky fan so I'm biased admittedly.

I made the mistake of casually throwing on the next episode of Primal on my computer while I sat down to eat lunch... Needless to say about 5 minutes to this one in I had to pause it, because jeez this is absolutely disgusting animation... It is however also one of the most powerful pieces of animation and sound design I've seen in ages.

I was getting goosebumps at the end not gonna lie, the roars of the animals along with the brutality of it all really cuts to the bone, so to speak. Tartakovsky is a legend to me so I have some bias, but this is genuinely great unapologetic brutal storytelling the likes of which are so rare nowadays, and that sucks to say.

This is a great show with some amazing scenes and characters. This is also a garbage show with some awful and embarrassing scenes and characters.

The level of waviness in this show is crazy. It shudders along from weird and awkward to epic fights and great world building. I will say that it's worth a watch but do bear in mind this is a rollercoaster, and it gets even more nonsensical towards the end.

The narrative is also a joke to be fair. It's not clear at all what any of the "protagonists" goals are other than "we have to defeat some evil people because we are the main characters"

Also Elizabeth is insufferable, as well as the pig Hawk. All in all it's a flawed gem. Get past the awful parts and it's really good.

Believe me anyone giving this 10/10 or saying "you wont sleep after this" or something like that is just going off a knee jerk emotional reaction to how horrific this case is. It's a horrible tragedy, and a really weird circumstance. A seeming case of mass hysteria or group delusion, resulting in the deaths of an entire family of 3 generations.

The problems are quite apparent from the get go. It's mostly interviews with people. TOO MANY PEOPLE though. I didn't know who half these people were by the end honestly. What started as a fascinating and creepy case of possible murder suicide got a bit bogged down and directionless by the end.

Again, a fascinating and tragic story but one that could have been told better.

You know those "documentaries" that are more about the creators than the subject?

Yeah.

It's balls. It's massive balls. It's enough balls to make me keep typing till I get to 150 characters.

I'm really not a Tom cruise fan tbh I can never believe his acting, he's mediocre at best and terrible at worst. This movie is pretty slow and predictable for the most part, with interesting and well done action set pieces in between the awkward dialogue. Oh and there's 2 love stories shoe horned in for no apparent reason.

PS It must be part of Cruises contract that he must be shirtless or he won't do the movie. The sight of a 50 year old man with zero hair on his chest is just weird lol.

There. That's a much better title.

There's not much I can say that hasn't been repeated in lots of other reviews. It seems this movie is very divisive, because everyone these days has to either love something or totally hate it.

As you already know the acting is atrocious, the writing feels like a first year college project, but the action is pretty cool. Just skip the dialogue parts honestly that's what I did and I had a decent time watching.

So this episode has the defiant and all the regulars respond to a distress signal coming from a female captain stranded on a distant planet and running out of air. So they have to race to try and save her. Along the way they manage to establish communication and they all end up chatting to her for hours, I won't go into specifics but the dialogue is very well written and quite heartwarming. Nice ending, and the woman who voices the strandee did a great job. Yes.

I love Quark, though I din't alwayus love teh Frereghi episeodes. This is however a great episode. Great writing, great acting and just fun all round.

So there's apparently lots of genetically altered people around, and even though that's highly illegal there's a well known institute for doing just that. So Dr Bashir is the only one that turned out well it seems, as there's one who's autistic, one who is smart but quiet, and of course the woman got sexy powers of some kind. Basically she's horny for Bashir that's her mutation lol.

It's kinda bizarre, the genetically horny chick is kinda hawt but otherwise this is a pretty banal episode.

Sisko hates being outsmarted, so this is mostly about him going after Eddington, who continues to outsmart our good captain again and again. He goes absolutely berserk, defies orders and puts everyone's lives at risk for his own vendetta. It's pretty great at times though I must say; The undocking scene is actually pretty epic with everyone calling out all the manoeuvres, it was a really cool scene.

Having said all that the way they deal with the situation at the end is a bit unstarfleet, if you get me. Worthwhile star trek imo.

This is a great episode in my opinion. It definitely has it's flaws as do most ST episodes but we don't watch this show for flawless execution, it's because we love the world and the characters. Here we get to see more of what DS9 was like when it was Terok Nor, the Cardassian orbital ore refinery, and also get to know a bit more about Odo's history, which I always love because personally he's probably my favourite character.

As a totally nerdy aside, the whole orbital refinery thing makes no sense whatsoever, because it's far more efficient to refine the ore on the planets surface then ship it off, and not have to lift up all the waste rock and whatnot...

Anyways, a very intriguing episode and well written. Worth watching for sure.

Talk about a horrible experience to put someone through... Chief Miles falls afoul of "the Agrathans" and they inflict their sick version of justice: virtual prison! He goes through 20 years of hell from his perspective, living every second of it, only to be "woken up" only a few hours in the real world. He's then expected to go back to normal life, with understandable difficulty.

Colm Meaney... That's all. He carries this episode, and it was really moving. Especially near the end, I actually teared up, he's so believable it's unbelievable. Under rated Irish actor, deserves more credit for his acting in ST.

This one is reasonably entertaining I must say, although it loses points for Nana Visitors terrible russian accent and acting. Though in fairness I'm just not a fan of her acting in general, so that might just be it. I understand some people are big fans, so opinions etc...

Worth watching for the laughs, but doesn't advance the plot atall.

So the sword of Kahless is apparently a powerful lost artifact to the Klingons, so Wharf and Some old drunk Klingon guy and Dax go to find it. Pointlessness ensues. Worth skipping.

This is a charming episode over all. The 3 Main Ferenghi get sent back in time to area 51 in 1947, and hilarity ensues. The Air Force general really puts the generic into general, he's every US Military cliche ever and it's hilarious. Cigar chomping no nonsense square jawed military dude cos ooh rah! XD

Definitely worth the watch.

I may be a few beers in but this one really got to me. Beautiful acting all round and a great script. Theres a scene with Kira and Jake that is framed perfectly and just is gorgeous and moving. Probably the best Jake/Sisko episode there is, and defintely worth your time.
