Entitled

When I first started watching this show, I was slightly apprehensive that it was just going to be another television show that was going to be repetitive and use the same plot as everyone else. It ended up having some amazing twists and turns that I did not see coming and I normally am one that can see those way in advance! With that being said, I think that this is a series anyone that loves a dash of comedy with an addition of horror to it should watch because it is absolutely fantastic. I would suggest it 1000 times over if I could. Because of the ratings that I saw which I deemed unfair due to the fact that it is underrated for how well written it is and how incredible the cast, and the storyline go the only thing I am upset about is the fact that it doesn't have a follow up season!

This is probably the strangest, weirdest show I've seen in years.

The actors are great, the direction is great, and the editing is great! The story however, is all over the place, and so random that I'm baffled. I'm left wondering if there even was a script at all. Was it all improvisation by the actors?

And it's definitely not a comedy. But what is it? It's not funny, so not a comedy. It's creepy at times, but not scary, so not a horror. It's exiting at short amounts of time, but not thrilling, so not a thriller. What genre is this show??

There are so many things happening, and so many characters. Yet, after the last episode, you sit back and think - what the h*** did I just watch? Who was that girl, why did the villagers do as they did, what happened to that guy, and who was really that child? Too many unanswered questions.

I'm giving it three stars for the acting, editing, and direction. The story completely through me off.

Starts off intriguing, middling from episodes 3-6, then an ultimately atrocious ending that is Lost-esque with the writers writing themselves into a corner.

While there is solid acting by the family throughout, many loose threads story-wise leave the watcher confused during the show's 8 episode run. Unfortunately, a waste of a potentially good premise with a yawn-worthy twist.

Without going into any spoilers, as soon as the end credits rolled I was immediately asking myself what happened to several supporting cast. Tiny, loosely woven threads appeared during the last 10 minutes of the series but this felt incredibly rushed and insulting as a viewer that watched for 8 episodes.

The show was marketed as "from the creators of Fleabag" - both shows couldn't be further apart. 2/10.

Entitled is one of those shows where the elements are all interesting but it just doesn't coalesce. Something like a box of mystery trinkets that tell an almost story.

It has very good actors, creepy art directions, plays a balance between scary and humorous like a nightmare LSD trip that's part real, part fantasy.

I think it does go on too long though. I skipped through the scenes because there was something fascinating (I would watch all these actors in other projects again). But also a lack of momentum and focus. I hoped it would resolve to something, and it does and it doesn't.

Entitled is a curious art piece that continuously pulls more out of its hat, but also left me wondering what did I just watch.

I came to this as it felt like there was a lot that should work on paper, some interesting cast and an intriguing premise. Certainly, there's plenty of intrigue in the first episode, but sadly it's all downhill from there. And for a comedy, there are nearly zero laughs to be found.

Gelman's performance is enormous, the direction is so colorful that it's sickly. Perhaps both of those are attempts to bring some comedy to the show, but they are sorely misguided. The tone veers all over the place, operating in such aimless extremes that it will leave you feeling totally lost, and with little of it making any sense at all.

What it makes for is a show that is trying so hard to tell you how good and funny it is, without actually being either. A real disappointment.
