Netflix's The Rain official trailer - May 4th
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
It's ok. There are already more incredible shows coming out than I can keep up with. lol
They've got to be boiling it, but then you got to wonder what about mildew?
Unless it can only infect prior to dilution. That wouldn't explain the puddle, but we don't know for sure she was infected.
I love plagues that only spare the young and attractive while everyone was dying they must have all been underground in bunkers working out.
This does look interesting but I hate how everyone in apocalypse tv shows is totally jacked.

This looks incredibly boring and generic. Hell, Contagion came out in 2011. I laughed out loud when the handsome leader guy's face was revealed because I knew he'd be a love interest, and I was right. The heroine's setup with her brother is also a stock YA motivation.
Also, I imagine there will be some incredibly glaring BS regarding the science of the pandemic.

It means staring at the bottom quarter of the screen the entire time instead of the other three quarters that has things like people's faces. I can get why that would undermine the movie/show for people, especially in the case of this show where it looks pretty unremarkable and would rather watch something else.
I adore Contagion but that was an anomalous film very devoted to the science of outbreaks and it's hardly the first bit of pandemic fiction (as my MA thesis attests).
I suppose. I'm dismissing it because it's yet another killer virus show.
You should be able to read the subtitles and watch the action at the same time.
Unless you read everything slowly word by word.
This is out. Reviews are decent. Anyone watch it yet?

And? Anyone watched some episodes?
Trailer looked decent, reviews are decent...probably going to give this a go now.

I watched maybe 30 mins or so and fell asleep, not because it's boring, but because every time I watch the telly in bed, I end up falling asleep regardless of the time of day :(
I could binge-watch a whole season in bed if I wanted to. :P
Probably not happening with this show though. We'll see.
this, or sitting way too close to a too big screen. I've never understood the hate, also because it makes you look like you just don't care about other languages, cultures and "foreign" cinema.
Speaking generally and not about this project, I disagree with this line of reasoning. You'll look at the subtitles for one second while the rest of the shot can be paid attention to. It's just a skill you get used to. You will have enough time to appreciate the faces, acting, cinematography especially if the film is great. There are so many stunning foreign films that would be missed by someone who is so steadfast against subtitles.
Staring was too extreme but it's impossible to focus on the entire screen. There's an art to framing a shot and subtitles can diminish that, especially when they're just added in after the fact.
Of course it's not completely ruinous, it's just a factor that its impact will vary depending on the show/movie or whatever.
Oh my God, first 10 minutes and I'm already itching to end it for good lol
I hate intentionally dumb characters so much...

Watched a couple eps, it scratches that post apocalypse itch, with shady science corporation on the side.
Using flashbacks and relationships to touch on humanity during the chaos. enjoying it so far
not as visually riveting or compelling as Dark, but seems decent

Yep, pretty much. Watched 3 episodes and I'd call it decent too.
Pilot is pretty bad though. Skipped through most of it.
the sister and brother act so intentionally stupid or overly hot/cold emotionally, it's really annoying at times when you should be invested in wanting them to survive lol
The pilots first half is pretty bad but its seemingly getting better story wise as it goes on... the brother and sister still suck though x(

This so much, it instantly rips me out of the experience. This has been the plague of Young Adult entertainment since forever.
Intentionally stupid characters are the worst, I hope you are exaggerating, since I was really looking forward to this.
Watching the first episode and yeah...it's the common theme that kids are a liability in the apocalypse.
I'm watching this sort of off to the side. It starts kind of awkwardly but I'm getting into. The sort of 'pre-apocalypse' scenes are kind of cheesy and awkward but it gets going. The acting is good and the english translation seems good
I watched the whole season and I'd say it's solid. What I most liked about it are the backstories of the characters and their decisions based on their morals.
The cast wasn't good by any definition of the word, but they got the job done. The good ideas this show had were unfortunately mostly overshadowed by various very common themes for post-apocalyptic shows to the point of sacrificing a whole episode for one of those. One I'm sick of tbh.
Yeah, solid 6.5/10. Pilot and Final dragged it down for me.
I have to say though that I like this international effort from Netflix. They will also have Middle-Eastern shows this year and I'm very eager to see what they bring to the table.
