    Another woke **** cancelled, thanks God.
    Even an episode of Derrick is less boring.

    Honestly, I couldn't even make it through the first episode. I wanted to like the show. The trailer looked interesting and the idea itself was something that had potential, but the overtly political tinge and bias was just too much for me to sit through. It would be one thing if they gave honest represtentation towards both sides of the political aisle, but as usual that is nowhere nearHonestly, I couldn't even make it through the first episode. I wanted to like the show. The trailer looked interesting and the idea itself was something that had potential, but the overtly political tinge and bias was just too much for me to sit through. It would be one thing if they gave honest represtentation towards both sides of the political aisle, but as usual that is nowhere near the case. They have absolutely no idea how to depict an honest represtentation of a right-leaning character, rather they always just project their assumptions and fears into a character and they take that as realistic. Meanwhile, left-leaning characters are heroic and the virtues of their ideas unquestionable. I don't know, maybe the show ends up having a good storyline, but having to wade through all the narrative pushing was too overwhelming for me to continue watching.
    Seriously, how much longer does this have to go on before they realize they are ruining entertainment? 90% of what comes out now is just propagandic trash! I for one, am tired of it.    … Expand

    Did I just take a left turn into the minds of men from the 1800's? The show has a very 1980s aesthetic, but the gossipy, backstabbing, ineffective, weak, angry, superficial character traits are all you will get out of the women in this story. Misogyny is real people. See it in all its glory in this tv series.

    There's not one likeable character in the whole thing. Not because the actresses were not bringing it, but because the writing keeps forcing the story back to the male gaze. The focus on the male fantasy of women (good and bad) from the male perspective makes me feel like this is some kind of gender studies farce. But in fact it is 100% sincere. If you are watching hoping hoping to see more from these characters, it never happens.    … Expand

    I'm not into comic books, but occasionally I enjoy a film or series based on them. To be honest, I tuned into Y because I think Diane Lane is a great actress.

I was so bored out of my mind, I kept coming up with reasons to turn it off (more exciting activities like dusting my house and cleaning the bathroom,) Unless I find myself suffering from insomnia, I seriously doubt I'll give episode 2 a try. Poor Diane Lane. Can someone give this underrated actress some decent material?… Expand

    A mystery fueling what becomes a dystopian survival tale, a chase thriller, a quest and, most fruitfully, a political allegory. If only Yorick seemed the effort. Most often, he acts like a self-involved idiot. [27 Sep - 10 Oct 2021, p.7]

    The show has so far proven to be a complex, engaging, and even thrilling work of adaptation. But if the writers and artists bringing it to life can’t properly grapple with the questions they seek to illuminate or push its visual dimensions further, the series won’t touch the hem of greatness within its reach.

    Diane Lane as the de facto President is as good as ever, noble and kind but never West Wing preachy in her rectitude. ... Ultimately though, this is TV machine-tooled for the times we live in. It is trying to build a “world” populated with multiple characters whose interlocking stories can run and run. It looks like a Marvel movie and it shares those films’ amalgam of astonishing narrative efficacy and yet total fatuousness.
