Nobility

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!!

This show has a lot of potential with some great actors in the mix;however it remains to be seen how these great actors will be able to take what will be given to them in the way of plot and writing material and make the show something better. As a long time sci-fi fan I hope this show improves, as the plot seems to be getting better by the third episode. The Special effects are good, the sets might be limited but still get the job done,costumes are spot on and well done. The actors who are of high caliber, seem to be under utilized, but this may change in the future episodes. I will look forward to seeing the next show if/when that happens.

This appears to be a pseudo-parody, but with original elements. Some of the acting appears to be sincere, while others seem to be chewing scenery. Not quite sure what to make of it ... and not quite sure where this has emerged from. Also, unlikely to have episodes beyond the 3 available via Amazon, or so I presume.

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...

You start watching and the cast are actually fairly successful actors - well some of them at least. If you've seen other sci-fi series like Star Gate, Star Trek, The Expanse, The Strain etc...You'll be familiar with a lot of the cast.

The problem is that the budget seems to have gone into that cast almost entirely. The set is comparable to what they used in the 60s. The special effects about 15 years old I'd say, or well of that quality at least. I.e a good kid with a computer and time can probably pull something better off nowadays.

The acting is alright I suppose but the camera angles and the writing of the show is not. The jokes seem very forced and there's just too many clichés. When the show starts you think you're watching a parody, which is alright - but you're not. And then it's not alright all of a sudden.

But the worst thing is the apparent bad use of green screens and the HORRENDOUS BEAUTY FILTER. Seriously the entire thing is shot with a beauty filter which makes EVERYTHING look slightly smudged out. It just blows my mind how you can do this.
