Nobility

Sorry to flame it but the dialog in episode 1 was terrible, the acting ( over-acting ) and directing were not that good either. The fight scene was extremely lame. CGI was OK but still B quality. The concept seems OK but the only documentary / reporting I saw was some occasional CGI video drones floating around. I think the whole set was under par and the lighting didn't help much. I want an hour of my life back

This show has many actors from other great sci fi shows, most notably from the Stargate universe, but the writing for this show is incredibly bad. I want to like Nobility, but every time I watch it I feel let down from the sheer boredom of it. All the jokes are not funny, from concept to performance, each joke is lame and delivered by actors who seem out of their element with comedy. Nobility looks to be a show that was created to compete with The Orville, both of which are riding in on the wave created by Star Trek's new Discovery. I cannot recommend this show, and I feel kind of sorry for the stars who for some reason signed on to this project...

INMD lists it as a single event, yet Amazon Prime has it as Season 1, Episode 2 and Season 1, Episode 3. Many of the people listed in the cast are not in the viewable episodes, so I assume they were in episodes that were never aired. The funny thing is I started out with a 7 rating and as I was writing the review it kept dropping to its current 5. I may come back later and drop it further. The concept was there but the writing was weak. The cast looked great, though most of the acting was just phoned in. In many ways it was a near parody of the early Star Trek show. I can see why it never made it past the filming of the third episode.

Saw this on Amazon wasn't sure what it was! Looked very cheap. Started watching thinking surely it must be some sort of (bad) comedy. Acting was the worst l've seen in a long time and the special effects look like they were from 30 years ago. Managed to get through the 1st episode, will NOT be wasting any more of my life with this dribble. Avoid at all cost!!

Where to start with this show? When I saw it available on Amazon Prime I was impressed that Torri Higginson and Christopher Judge were part of the show. The excitement stops there.

I was disappointed when I realized that Christopher Judge was more of a cameo appearance. He sends orders through a view screen for a few seconds on each episode.

Torri does her usually great acting but I truly don't understand why she's in this low budget series.

Placed 700 years in the future the pilot is a young Asian cowboy and when I say cowboy I mean he wears a cowboy hat and acts like he's fresh off the farm. He even carries a side shooter pistol which I'm sure comes in useful in outer space.

Walter Koenig plays the ships engineer. His character is a senile drunk that reminds me of Colonel Tigh (Terry Carter) from Battlestar Galactica. Just more strange and awkward. Honestly I didn't even realize who he was until I saw the IMDb credits.

The ships psychiatrist (Doug Jones) is plain creepy and disturbing.

The director(s) can't make up their minds. It's a serious Sy-Fi Fantasy, no it's a Slapstick comedy, no it's something else, and the cycle goes on and on. Very uncomfortable to watch.

Yes the special effects are lacking a bit. There are little drones that are part of a documentary that's being made during the show. Kind of a show in a show. There are these odd moments where characters are being recorded and we're seeing the recording as if it's a playback. Kind of like a captains log but with annoying animations that are just in the way.

There are a few characters that I want to like and I can see some acting quality from time to time but then suddenly they go off and do something stupid, unrealistic, unbelievable, or just plain not understandable. Maybe it's not all their fault but sometimes you just got to say no way am I going to do that.

The upside, I liked most of the story line, and some of the action scenes are decent quality. Even some of the special effects are nice.

The downside, some special effects are lame, transition between sense are poor and I believe during the 2nd episode a few scenes are out of order.

Final comments. I wouldn't want to be on a cruise ship with these characters let along on a star ship. Should you watch it? Only if you can doing something else at the same time.
