So I'm guessing the series will be about her redemption, though this sounds like it's in the same ballpark as the fan film RENEGADES, which I hated. I dunno...Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-90662960113358990662017-09-26T20:41:52.029-04:002017-09-26T20:41:52.029-04:00Yeah.

I hadn't read much, and sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes not. <br /><br />Burnham has been sentenced to life in prison, so I'm curious about how that's going to work out. The show didn't excite me, but I'm not totally "meh".

I knew Michelle Yeoh was only there for the beginning, so I'm guessing she's one of those dispatched characters.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-16464690499717593412017-09-25T17:28:10.999-04:002017-09-25T17:28:10.999-04:00Well.

There were intriguing enough characters, but only hints of their backgrounds and relationships. I don't necessarily need everything spelled out for me right away, but when two of the characters we have been investing our time in are dispatched by the end of the second episode - let's just say I found it bothersome.<br /><br />I am willing to give the next couple of episodes a look-see because often pilots are a piece apart from what comes after. If the corner they have put their lead character in is too easily resolved, I may throw something at the screen. Next week will tell. <br /><br />PS: The "different story telling mode" used is what killed two of my favourite soaps. The network used the excuse that this is what audiences demanded, but then were shocked when audiences tuned out.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
