Siddhartha14

I endured this for 9 long episodes and then finally remember I can play videos at 1.5 times speed on Netflix. Thank goodness I remembered. As comedies go, this one is not bad. Steven Yeun is amazing, as always. Ali Wong is awful from beginning to end. This person is not an actress. If they had chosen a different comedian to play the female lead, this would have probably been really good. But Wong utterly destroys anytime she is onscreen. Steven Yeun has a great career ahead of him, not that it isn't been pretty great so far. What a shame they could not picked a better person to play the female lead.

I have never seen such an absurd series. The stories make absolutely no sense and I am very familiar with the stories they are supposedly "derived from." Overall, a really awful production. I am amazed at the high ratings for this terrible series. I was intrigued by the high ratings but wow, was I disappointed. It is unendingly boring and banal. Give this series a pass. There are many great series that are worth your time. This one simply is not. Unremittingly awful. And really? Do you think mascara and false eyelashes were available during these times? If you want the series to be realistic, drop the makeup!

What a breath of fresh air in the Walking Dead world! This season (1) is superior to at least the last 7 season of the original Walking Dead, which I gave up on, except off and on for a while. Walking Dead became just a slog through more grossness, ickiness, psychopaths, etc. Etc. I mean really, who can watch that schlock through 11 seasons? I gave Daryl Dixon a try because Daryl was a favorite of mine from the Walking Dead. What a revelation to set it in France, and so refreshing and interesting. The setting, the script the cast and of course the scenery are all top notch. Yes, some of the ickiness is still there but does not dominate the narrative the way it did in Walking Dead. More Daryl Dixon!
