Why is Yea Forums pretty much the only place that seems to like this show?
Also Carnival Row thread, I just finished it and I thought it was pretty darn good.
There were some side stories that didn't really make much of an impact other than bloat but other than that I it was solid.
Great setting/style with interesting characters and a mysterious story line.
And I assume we're going to get a second season seeing as it all ends on a cliffhanger with everyone getting thrown into the Row.
take your immigration fairytale and fuck off you shitskin mongoloid
no
some dude was whining about a black dude fucking an alien looking white chick
kek
dont forget it's a half goat black guy, which makes it even better
>24:00 minutes in
>strong elf woman
>Victorian England
>poor refuggees/immigrants
>Jack the Ripper story
Why should I continue watching this?
I managed to get four eps in before giving up. It's EXTREMELY pozzed in regards to 'refugees welcome' and 'whitey be racist', while also have not much in the way of a coherent narrative or interesting subplots.
I thought it was boring as hell. I won’t be watching the next season.
My friend is crazy for that show. Im gonna watch it anyway, dont care about the critics Amazon is 1000 better than Netflix
Will it ever have a plot beside "le extreme vanity of the upper class is bad!!!! Muh Dontown Abbey!!!! Muh Diversity!!! Le tensions between social groups!"?
I liked it pretty well
but more for the setting, to be honest the review says "the story is full of halves" they're not wrong
most of the plot lines felt too disconnected and the side characters were all pretty bleh
but I liked it none the less
I like the setting. A LOT.
The refugee/racism stuff wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't so on the nose
like there's no depth to it just a simplistic allegory/analogy for racism in England with some mirrors of today's politics
if they went into details about why other than "human supremacy" it could be intriguing, bring something new to the table, if I just wanted to see racism against the irish in the victorian era I'd go watch a documentary
>trashed by the critics
Why? there are black actors in it, I don't get it.
thing is the le vucturian era is fucking over done. It's fucking boring. I would watch a series about colonial wars on fairy land. That would interesting. But this Jack the Ripper plot is so boring. Guy killed like 3 whores.
this too, the murder mystery/sherlock homes/inspector stuff is lame, the war episode was cool, I wish the show would focus more on that stuff
steampunk and the victorian era is lame, it's boring and cliche
I want dieselpunk in a post ww1 setting
the setting and mythology are indeed great, and it is visually beautiful, but to be honest the story IS kind of a bloated mess.
Also, I don't know if it's because of the bad dialogues or the actors (holy shit delevigne was bad) but it seemed so forced and cringey at times...
>faries can't kill humans
I mean they have the flying advantage, how come they cound't kill all those Hoomans?
I liked what the Puck had to say about his own people being even more xenophobic and racist. I want to see THAT.
>racism & sexism but with fairies
it is all tiresome
he literally lifts her up in the air on his giant horsecock
Most reviewers think that it's overly political and boring. When you cuck so hard that even RT reviewers think your politics are on the nose, it's time to stop and never write anything again.
>I want dieselpunk in a post ww1 setting
That would still be boring, because the problem with the show is that they just use the steampunk/Victorian setting as wallpaper for their cliched contemporary issues and PC moralizing. Different wallpaper won't change the shit story.

A lot of people are sensitive to allegory, or things that they think are allegory.
In this case I think it's intentional, but in other cases like Bright it's not, and Tolkien when it's definitely not.
Critics, are especially sensitive to that, and people of /pol/ persuasion seem to be that as well going by comments on Yea Forums. I am of /pol/ persuasion though I don't browse that board and I love the show.
>Why is Yea Forums pretty much the only place that seems to like this show?
Proof?
>Burghishmen seem to follow som religion centered around the Martyr, sounds like a Jesus figure
>their calendar is in the 7th century, likely based on the Martyr like ours is based on Jesus
>700 years ago the first human came to the fae continent
>he stayed a while, had a child, and then tried sailing hope
>his son went looking for him later
The Martyr = Isen
or
The Martyr = Isens halfblood son
Probably the son, then the reason the Martyr got hanged was because he was a halfblood
or it's a coincidence
guns
Would be ironic if true
Picked the fuck up!
Picked & Pucked
PUCK’D
The attacker in the first episode is a one-and-done storyline that just barely ties in to the bigger mystery, where a Lovecraftian monster is killing fae and humans and none of them are whores. The monster is being sent after particular targets by the master who created it, and the reasoning behind it has nothing to do with the human/fae racism so prevalent elsewhere. It actually all comes together quite nicely, although I think this would have been better as the movie it was originally intended to be (it was a popular spec script floating around Hollywood for years, but eventually got adapted into a series instead).
>Yea Forums [...] seems to like this show
This is news to me.
Yea Forums has terible taste. Just horrid.
And this is a pretty bad show with mediocre leads. You obviously belong in this board, and just limit yourself to it
>flies above you carrying a rock
>drops it
dat blimp attack tho
The war flashback scenes were kino
Hopefully we get more of that in s2
>Fauns/Satyrs are characterized in myth as insatiable, hedonistic, sexual perverts
>cast a black guy
Why are the show runners so racist?
Kick ass.
>tried like 3 times to watch this show
>keep falling asleep in the first 10-15 minutes
next time don't watch it when you're sleepy Anoun :)
I kinda like the racist cop
hes based
got a webm of that?
show is all pro-LGBT and pro-refugee, fuck it
it's so obvious OP makes daily threads about this dumpster fire, not sure if paid or genuinely retarded. Uses the same buzzwords and praising of "mysterious storyline and style" everytime too.
>Why is Yea Forums pretty much the only place that seems to like this show?
lmao what. EVERY thread people have criticized it for shoveling in way too much social commentary and being a boring slog with trust fund """actors""".
Last thread I saw of this OP tried to convince someone that "it kicks off in episode 5", just finished watching the episode and LITERALLY NOTHING happened other than:
>surprise, some literal who out of nowhere turns out to be closeted gay and goes on a 2minute monologue about how he only feels alive and himself when he fucks another man in the anus while empowering sad music plays.
>Muh patriarchy won't accept the black, uuh not black, CENTAUR, into their high society, because he's bla- a centaur.
>muh strong young female goes into parliament and convinces the entire court to cheer for her to RISE UP and vote for her in a 2-minute speech about migration laws and racism.
what a complete shitshow. I honestly enjoyed the world and setting for a while, couldve made something great out of it but the show is completely ruined by the endless social commentary and politics, every fucking episode there's several monologues with the same one empowering fairy song playing while someone rambles about diversity, racism, gays and muh patriarchy
>white people bad
>other races smart
The show
I can't wait for Adam Nagaitis playing a puck in Season 2.
white people good though, and a lot of other races are dumb
>Make a fantasy setting about a huge world of mystical races
>Make the entire show about !notlondon's immigrant crisis and social commentary
>white pipo bad and narrowminded oppressors
I'm honestly surprised about the metacritic scores for once, would've guessed it would be the other way around and "critics" would've gobbled this garbage up while audience would've seen past the thinly veiled political piece
>white people are shown as literal genociding racist oppressors from the first scene
>Every episode white guys with muttonchops and Reich uniforms spit and call other races Faeniggers, fawnniggers and Critchniggers as they pass by their ghettos
>Every episode some fawn, fae or other race of the 80% black cast is shown as being smart, caring and/or oppressed and kept down by whites.
not sure if we're watching the same show.
Reminder that most critics only watch the first 1 or 2 episodes of a show before writing their reviews to save time
They go as far as showing electricity but it was the nigger ram who is interested in science and pretty much invented that light bulb that’s right whitey
>white people are shown as literal genociding racist oppressors from the first scene
And the white lead is a guy who cares for the oppressed.
That one scene actually gave me hope this show could be more than a mouthpiece for liberal conspiracies, but too bad that one redpilled moment was followed by le ebil white patriarchy immediately dismissing him and wanting nothing to do with him because he's black a puck
So many inconsistencies and retarded reactions, that scene pretty much summed that up for me. They could've had an actual argument and shown that he's smarter than what they thought, but nope, just display them as being muh snubby upper white class and dismiss what he said immediately.
Why does every fucking show nowadays have to have such obvious social commentary shoehorned in anyways?
>>muh strong young female goes into parliament and convinces the entire court to cheer for her to RISE UP and vote for her in a 2-minute speech about migration laws and racism.
she's telling them that the faes are a menace, that whole scene is her being anti-diversity
lmao if you think all that matters and isn't just mentioned for the inevitable "philo is actually the halfblood son" plot you havent been watching enough modern fantasy garbage
I kind of enjoyed it!
That's part of (((Hollywood's))) messaging though: Whites are only good if we're helping non-Whites undermine our own people.
If we care for ourselves we're evil racists even though the world is 92% nonwhite, meaning we're not welcome anywhere else.
Yet nonwhites think they have some kind of right to not only live in our societies, but become majorities in our societies.
So if a character hates the critch, he's a propaganda tool
and if a character doesn't hate the critch, he's a propaganda tool
philo is mixed-race though. half fae
No shit, but what makes you think thats somehow better?
>Court full of white politicans stands up and cheers for le strong female they've never seen before solely because she mentions DEY TOOK OUR JERBS
>prodigial son and heir of leading family immediately falls in love with her based on that one speech
I don't even have to continue watching the show to see where this shit is going, and I probably won't bother because everything is so obvious before it even happens. There's gonna be two more seasons of extremely thinly veiled political and social commentary with a detective plot that will end with Philo being outcast because he's such a good guy and cares too much about other races with a short plot about Vignette and him getting back together only to split up again because of some differences or muh feelings so they can show her getting PUCKED. Then it's gonna be a season about how he's some child of prophecy and finds out his parents are actually this cliche and the finale is gonna be him and Vignette bringing down the patriarchy or fucking off to an island to live happily ever after
>fucking off to an island to live happily ever after
I hope so I love happy endings
what did he mean by this
