This was a very interesting premise. It went from that to The Actors Studio. Lots of scenes with 2 actors ---- acting. This seems to happen a lot nowadays. Here is the thing, I do not care a flying doughnut if you need to 'express' yourself or showcase your skills as an actor. I really don't. I want a story WITH good acting. I couldn't care less about art.

So that means telling a story that holds my attention. Not a demonstration of the art of drama acting. This usually entails 2 characters intensely talking to each other with lots of emotion and going over stuff from the past which I have zero interest in. Then you wait 5 minutes and you do it again.

The Walking Dead reduced itself to this, so did Marvel's Agents of Shield. Both of which I happily abandoned. TWD outstayed its welcome by about 5 seasons. Shield same thing only with fast walking down corridors to nowhere. I mean really guys do you think we don't notice this stuff??

With From I struggled through the first season thinking no,no, no it will pick up again you'll see.

It didn't.

So I gave up and deleted the 1st season from my hard drive. Unlike Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse and The Sarah Connor Chronicles this was never going to be revisited. GOT or Deadwood this was not. Go do your acting demonstration somewhere else preferably off my screen and in a dingy backstreet theater somewhere. It was like watching Henry Winkler"s character from Barry doing his thing. Please no more.

This movie is so stupid it is fit only for little kids. If you are an adult and enjoyed this then you may well need therapy because you obviously didn't make it past puberty.

I watched with an open heart because as a little boy in the 60s one of the very first comic books I read was Aquaman. That and Hawkman who DC have given no space to at all. Then all these years later this travesty emerges. Utter drivel that is reaching for something that was not there in the comic books. He looks different, he acts different, there is this whole Atlantis thing going on. This is not Aquaman. It is just yet another derivative piece of garbage where they can roll out a 'current thing' star to flex his muscles in the avalanche of CGI laced piles of dog poo. This rubbish was so bad I didn't even keep it for posterity and for the sake of completion. You would have to do a Clockwork Orange deal on me with me tied down and my eyes artificially kept open. Yes just as in that movie I too would be convulsively vomiting. It appears that Hollywoke have finally perfected the art of insulting the intelligence of every adult in America nay the world. Is this really how you think we think Mr Producer, director, candlestick maker??

This is garbage of the first order. It isn't even escapist, it is pure rubbish.

This is a finely made series. The acting is very good. The reason it is ridiculous is because they are portraying the New England states as if they were deepest darkest Alabama or Mississippi in the midst of Jim Crow.

Just about everything is wrong in the stupid depiction of Massachusetts.

I guess the exaggeration is to be expected when you consider the sister of Jussie Smollett is one of the 'stars'. Nobody was being chased in pickup trucks by gun wielding rednecks in Mass in the 1950s. Where the hell do you think the soldiers came from who died to free the slaves?? That's right - New England.

Was there racism ?? Sure but not like in the south and it wasn't everywhere there either. Look up the State of Jones.

When are people going to get off the victimhood pity party band wagon. Get over it people. Wallowing in your poor treatment 70 years ago isn't helping. FFS change the record.
