Calvin O @Caltus Nov 7 Season I was interesting and fun and then season 2 introduced the daughter and it just became childish and annoying. Now season 3 starts with the daughter character again and a bunch of storylines that are just too weird. Destroyed the show: ( See more prawnda s Aug 26 yet another IP fumbled by warner bros. i want so badly to love this, but crazy jane's character is obscenely overdone. you would be hard pressed to find a mental patient that acts like she does with such consistency, and it's not her performance, it's the writing and direction. we get it, she's traumatized and she acts out/dissociates. it's just beating a dead horse within a couple of episodes, and not at all like how the other characters take a while to deal with their issues. i did not finish this show or this season despite multiple serious attempts and plenty of free time, because apparently every season of the show operates on the same formula due to narrative reliance on jane's more overpowered personalities. she hogs far too much of the runtime, essentially every review ive read mentions that she is annoying, if not that she is unlikeable, unrelatable, an unrealistic/stigmatized portrayal of a mentally ill person, and that her excessive presence singlehandedly ruins the show. there are so many neglected or underdeveloped characters in this project, portrayed by well liked and talented cast members, and instead of them getting a real fleshed out sequence we focus almost exclusively on this girl, episode after episode. the actress deserves better than this, since she's shown us a pretty solid dynamic range, but its impossible to appreciate the performance when the director does nothing but heap on more screaming, abuse, and misbehavior. these moments where a character acts out have to feel earned no matter what the context is. instead we end up with a show that alienates the demographics it's supposed to appeal to, while catering to the type of people who would bully them. some people said jane is only a problem because "hammerhead" is in charge of her too often, but every single personality is insufferable. there is no likeable, sympathetic person in there, at least not that the director or writers allow to the surface. the cast could do amazing with the right person in charge, but this show is only a disappointment as it stands.

Its main villain is the best, as it combines the madness of the protagonists and takes it to another level; each one with their motives and their stories are able to attract the public. It is definitely something I would recommend watching.

Its a show, much like Morrisons run as writer on the graphic novels, that you will either vibe with or not but if you are in the lucky group who gets this then from its universally well written scripts to it's excellent cast this is an absolute treat of an adaptation. It's unique vision and imagination is so far only equalled by the sheer excellence of its execution. Truly superb. More please. See more Read all reviews
