Killing Eve is rated 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. But clowns like you will claim that it isnt a masterpiece. Your beloved westworld sits at 83%

Flash is rated 89% on RT. Money Heist is rated 91%. Going by your logic, both shows are masterpieces.

I never expected to be glued to this tV. The 6 seasons were worth it. The ending was perfect. They really did well in using flash forwards in playing mind tricks on we the viewers

8/10 IMO

Flash 89%, hehehehe
Rotten tomatoes is crap, guess most of its voters are tenagers. Perhaps, IMDB is more reliable.

I initially enjoyed flash but along the way it became crap. I stil have some episodes I havent watched for that day when I'll be bored and watch it on fast forward to complete it for completeness sake.

Other CW shows indont bother.

Legends of tomorrow I started that one but quit when I realised it was foolish.

Black lightening and super girl ( crap)

Batwoman ewwwww

Arrow also stopped during season 1 too repetitive.

Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by whitelotus: 9:41am On May 16, 2020
Let me point out a lesson in linear vs non linear narratives.


It is very difficult to tell a good story that is purely linear or purely non linear.

Just think about it. A purely non linear plot will keep jumping around at every page. For instance, I'd a book or a story went in flashback at every second page, no reader would know whether the story is in the past or present. This is very evident in the series Westworld in its second season.

A purely linear story will never include things like a forgotten memory that has been remembered. For instance, a karate student flashing back to the lesson his master taught him so as to defeat the last boss at the end. Or even a villain explaining the true reason why he killed the main characters friend.


So what matters is the degree of linearity or non-linearity.

Now someone arguing that interstellar has a non linear plot when point A to B in the movie is clear. The progression between the beginning and the end is easily charted. From a retired NASA astronaut living on a farm to going on space adventure to save the species and then sending a message to his daughter, who then uses the information to save the species at the end.

I find people like you who cannot use their own words to explain simple things to be quite dumb.


The only non linear part of the movie is the time travel. At the end of the movie.

it's very good but the brand of comedy does not appeal to everyone so my best bet see the trailer first,or better still get 1 episode and see if you like it. what you see is what you will get for the rest of the show. The S2 is currently one of the best thing on TV right now.

Killing Eve has been rated highly by both critics and viewers alike.

It is a dark comedy thriller that delves into psychopathy and narcissism of its characters.

It relies on dialogue and subtle symbolism.


However, a lot of Nairalanders love only action. If they dont see gbas-gbos in the first 30 mins, they don't like the show.

Imagine someone watching game of thrones for 8 seasons and not knowing who Aerys Tygarean 2 is. The mad king. All they know is "dragon lady burn them" and "Jon snow egbon bad boss sword fighter". All they know is action





Exactly, same reason some will say breaking bad is overhyped

Because it's slow paced

I humbly beg to differ embarassed
The special effects to demonstrate aging at the end was just plain weird cry
Viola Davis is an amazing actress though. All in all, HTGAWM was a great and well written series and I'm kinda sad to see it go.

I think viola Davis should be in the top 2 of the best black actress category in the world

She takes her acting to another level

And in htgawm, she has so many epic court scenes
The supreme Court case is brillant

But that closing in the final episode will convince even the most cold hearted jury

I tell you bro.

Can't forget one scene too in an earlier season where she was taking off her, wig, eyelashes, and make up, essentially taking off her "mask" while crying. That scene touched me sha i won't lie.

Yep, that flash forward is genius, I'm very sure few tvshows do that and they pull it off well, for each season
Beginning of season 6, annalise is dead, so many other deaths in play, then focus shifted to asher
They also showed wes.... Everyone thinking could wes be alive?

But I don't think it's necessary they show them aging the way they did, it's badass to leave us viewers guessing just like breaking bad did

Wes and Christopher his son, though I get the message, I would have preferred someone else acting the older Christopher
Guess, it's just to play on the viewers mind at the beginning of the season

I watched it over and over.

Why not use your own words? That reddit post is just some science major stroking his/her own ego on his/her knowledge of astrophysics.

The 5th dimension he is talking about does not change the fact that there was time travel, from our own perspective.

The reddit scientist argues that a 5th dimension being could travel anywhere in spacetime (any alternate reality)- which means that there was no time travel in the movie but a movement in space and time.

But the scientist forgets the most important message in the movie- time is relative. The scientist also forgets that Both Cooper and the humans on earth are 3 dimensional beings...THEREFORE, IT WAS A SIMPLE TIME TRAVEL WITH A MESSAGE SENT FROM THE FUTURE BACK TO THE PAST.
