LadyCrimson Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Hellbound - Netflix - first half of the episodes Hm. I knew one of the main lead actors was replaced because of an illegal drug use scandal/case. The replacement actor is doing an ok job but has much less intense charisma so it's not quite the same. Outside of that - the show has become more talky in the conspiracy/political-power aspirations type ways, in the way S. Korea likes to do, with too many characters/factions perhaps. So it starts out interesting, gets boring, becomes interesting, gets boring, repeat. It's not bad, but not as weirdly compelling as the 1st season. I also hear it ends on another sort of cliffhanger, which is a gamble. Sidenote: the problem with Netflix "originals" is that even if they greenlight more, it's often 2-4 years between any seasons. I'd guess partly because by the time they greenlight, it takes a while to get all involved schedules to align to work again, among other things. Whatever their methods, it often kills any momentum. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted November 2 Author Share Posted November 2 I watched this in syndication in the late 70's every day after school and I loved it. Maybe that explains a few things. “Things are as they are.

Say that the show overall is very mid. @LadyCrimson nvm, I confused it with the Resident Alien.

LadyCrimson Posted Thursday at 08:32 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 08:32 PM I was confused for a minute. Game? Show? What? Oh, anthology 15 episode series ... based on games? The games tie-in does nothing for me, depends on the stories. Hm. Has some big names doing some of the VA. “Things are as they are.
