    It’d be too much to expect in-depth cultural analysis from a franchise that’s mostly about people solving ridiculous puzzles left by historical figures. ... The series’ attempts to capture Gen Z culture more broadly are similarly half-assed. ... Edge of History‘s most fatal affliction, however, is its total lack of charisma.

    The more the remaining original characters are present, the more acute the absence of the principals becomes. The show’s two worlds collide early and often, and every time awkwardly, as if the reboot and the sequel are jockeying for attention. “Edge of History” is two halves of a show poorly welded together. ... “Edge of History” also feels like self-parody, but a far less fun variety born of a futile effort to look forward and backward simultaneously.

    The latest revival of a popular movie series as a lamer Disney+ affair, which takes its predecessors’ historical treasure-hunting adventure and gives it an insufferable tween spin.

    Sorry, das ist einfach nur schlecht.

    Hatte mich wirklich bei der Ankündigung auf die Serie gefreut. Jetzt werden wieder alle Schauspieler nach Herkunft ausgesucht um politisch korrekt zu sein. Was aber das schlimmste ist, sind die Rätsel. Die sind noch nicht einmal an den Haaren herbeigezogen. Ich sage nur Sonne, Hoppelhase, Gebüsch, aus jedem Zusammenhang heraus einfach mal in die Box getippt und siehe da...richtig. Das ist Volksverdummung. Kann man nicht ansehn. Leider.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. The most ridiculous thing about the show is not the fact that, at one point, a character is accused of murder purely because he is holding a box of tic tacs. The most ridiculous thing about the show is that the accusation is correct. It's absolutely fantastic, absurd fun that knows how to laugh at itself (most of the time) and is a must-watch for anyone that wants something to laugh at. It's truly mesmerizing. That said, I can't in good conscience give it a score any higher because it is really, REALLY bad. Bad in a way that makes you enjoy every frame, but still bad. And it needed more Riley.… Full Review »
