First, this show is based off an American comic series, it's not just made up out of nowhere. The comic is very closely related to the japanese manga Assassination Classroom. If you are hating on the plot, it's because you know absolutely nothing of the premise. ALL Tv shows and Movies are unrealistic. TV and Movies are an extension of Theater. Theater productions specialize in dramatizing and exaggerating the story visually, that's the point. I digress.

I watched the whole pilot twice. I will agree on the second view I started to see the holes. There really wasn't much build up, so I hope over the next few episodes we see some really strong character development. The production value is top notch, I almost thought I was watching an HBO series.

Where this series might fail a bit, is the writing, and development of characters which seems to be an issue throughout tv and the film industry. The dialog between characters can be a bit stale and cliched.

I could spend all day poking holes in other people's hard work. I am not that guy though. This is something a little different than what we are used to watching on TV, so allow yourself to be entertained. If you are one of those people who are going to pick everything to pieces, don't waste your time. Remember it's still the SyFy channel. They aren't known for their stellar production and actors. So far I like the show, and I am willing to deal with the holes for now. Let's watch the rest of the season and see how it goes.

Honestly I loved it myself, but I can definitely see where others will be able to pick some things apart with this film.

The movie is predictable, you'll figure it out after about ten minutes. Regardless of that fact, it still pulls you in from the very first moment. You will want to see it through to the end, I promise!

Bel Powley really shines in this movie. Her acting is superb, and she portrays the character extremely well. Matter of fact she pretty much carries this film by herself. I've never seen any other movie she has been in, but after this, I can guarantee she is someone you will want to keep an eye on. The supporting cast did a really good job also.

Do you want to be entertained, or do you just want to complain? Leave it all at the door, just watch it and be entertained. It's not meant to be the best film ever, and win hundreds of awards.

I wouldn't so much call it horror, more of a thriller. I really liked the idea of the wildling creatures. I wish they had made the movie just a tad bit longer and fully played out some of the ideas that died towards the end.

Overall the movie was good, nothing award winning, but definitely a movie to keep in the collection. Watch it, enjoy, don't overthink this.
