October Faction

I read the comic and found out that it was going to be a show, and with how much I enjoyed how Netflix did Umbrella Academy I was excited for it. Firstly, as someone who was /waiting/ for this show, I had no idea it was even out until this very moment. It's been out for nearly three months already, and I haven't seen any advertisements or anyone talking about it, and as I'm ready to start episode five I can see why. Normally I'm good with slow burns, but I feel like absolutely nothing is happening, finally now it's starting to pick up near the end of episode four but I've already lost interest and am struggling to even keep going. I try to keep an open mind with everything, but just simply put, this show is boring and I'm so disappointed in what they did to it. And with what CGI I've seen so far, it's subpar. Honestly, this show seems like it was meant to be put on the CW rather than something produced by Netflix, it's just unfortunate that an interesting, enjoyable comic was made into...this. I'll finish the season off, but I can understand why it was already canceled.

The show tries a little too hard to be something for everyone instead of focusing on its strength which is the challenges of being a monster hunting family... I will say that at the end of the season I was still interested in what the further future actions of the characters would be and that is about as much as you could hope for within Netflix TV show

Only half way through & I keep asking myself why am I still watching... I like the overall premise of a monster fighting family, but the annoying moody twins are so cringe worthy. In fact all the teens are stereotypical & annoying AF ! Get rid of the teens or at least make them likeable & give us more monsters !!!

Anyone who goes on about this being some high school melodrama show hasn't watched it. Yeah, the kids are in high school and that's a part of the story, but a small one.

It IS kind of standard secret organization fighting monsters in the world stuff, but the overall story is strong, the script is at least good, and the acting is fine....if the casting a bit qestionable.

I don't expect every show to have Avengers level special effects, and this is no exception, but the visuals are more than passable. But overall the show lacked a....personality. It was a little by the numbers, not really inspired and just didn't have a feel of it's own.

But it's not the write it off, predictable, boring wreck that some people are trashing it as. It was solid, and if you like supernatural action with a good story, you'll dig it.

Diverse casting is an integral part of marketing in today's world. However, there is a point where overreach become highly annoying. This is especially true when the accompanying woke virtue signaling becomes an intense lecture aimed at the audience. Couple this with bad casting, bad acting, and bad direction and you have this very boring abomination.

Time to bring back entertainment.
