The sets in this series were extremely well done. The horses were beautiful. The dog was awesome and the wishes were pretty good except I did not like Glinda, for the part she played. The costumes we're perfect for the settings. The acting was so so as far as the wizard went. This was an elaborate production. It's too bad the story wasn't more developed. I can't believe I sat through this entire series. It was dark, gruesome and gory. They could have thrown in a few comic reliefs scenes once in a while. The story did not make sense to me. It was a typical epic fantasy except it had a lot of gore and fighting. No ruby slippers here. No good witch or bad witch everybody was bad. The nasty witch appeared to be the good witch at times. And the good wish was never a good witch. It was fascinating enough that I did watch the entire series but I was very disappointed the way it ended. I think they left the ending open thinking and hoping they might have a second season. Thank God there wasn't.

Weird and often cruel, morose, depressing and I totally do not understand how people can so blindly trust in religious or so called medical leaders . But this is how people are that let themselves get indoctrinated into deep faith in strange belief systems.

Sad but true that's how things were back then and also with cults today. Blind, ignorant faith with no trust in their individual power. They are looking for someone to save them or someone to look up to. Such as the human race.

Although It does redeem itself at the end as most moralistic plays do. I know there are deeper moral issues going on here; I don't feel like going into it. It is a deep thought-provoking movie if you feel like thinking about it. I do not.

The nurse fulfilled her own loss in the end. And I guess this is a spoiler, it's a happy ever after ending.

A very bittersweet story about a man whose daughter was killed by a lunatic. Then he gets a note from supposedly God in his mailbox (Pappa) to go to the Shack and then he goes through a lot of mythical experiences there that reminded me of the original Jason and the Argonauts in some ways. I did not find this inspiring I found it extremely sad and sometimes silly. Out of billions of people who have had sad experiences Sam was picked, an ordinary guy. It was very well done however and Sam Worthington is always great as is Olivia Spencer. They did a wonderful job acting in this fairy tale. It's a story about accepting yourself, forgiving yourself and not blaming the God/gods for everything. There were five different gods there giving advice and loving him and showing him beauty and incessantly preaching. I guess it's all in perception, being I'm an agnostic. It was a nice story. But totally unbelievable and unrealistic. Sam goes and finds his daughter's body ( in a dream or who knows what or where ) and they bury it in the mythical fairy land. Then the tree life grows on her grave in fairyland. He does not even bring the body home for his family to have closure. He finally goes home to his family and decides not to stay in the mythical land and all the world is right again everybody forgives everybody and they live happily ever after.

A bunch of weird Hatfield and McCoys type cowboys who have gotten stuck in the Twilight zone.

Trying to get the other guys land because there is a mysterious hole in the land.

A concoction of today's mythologies or realities of how crazy our world really is and everybody in it is crazy in one way or another. DON'T BELIEVE ALL YOU'VE BEEN TAUGHT OR READ OR SEE ON THE NEWS OR TV is what I see it's saying.

I don't think it's supposed to make sense, it's utterly crazy. And 85% of the scenes are so dark, it's hard to see what's happening. Buffalo? Not a series that makes sense and all logic went down the mysterious hole. I think, I just don't get it. (Laughing)

In the beginning it feels like this is propaganda for the Catholic Church. Although it's kind of strange and weird at times it's kind of good; I'm having a hard time determining whether I really like it or hate it. All the preaching about God and Jesus saving us just has me shaking my head. I'm Agnostic and I just don't honestly get what's going on for the first 3 episodes. I dislike organized religion and I find this a bit of fantasy with all the words Father Paul is preaching. But I'm only on episode 3 and I have four more episodes to go. Something to watch on a Saturday night when there's nothing to watch.

Very comedic in many place (the dead risin, people getting younger). The preposterousness of it all. Move over Jim Jones drinking devilish bloody wine. Eeeew.

At times it's really hard to watch especially with the dog scene and then with the priest seeming dead. It's pretty disgusting in parts; yet compelling but not believable. And still I watched it all. SciFi horrible (literally). Not horror but horrible happenings. I guess it doesn't qualify as sci-fi however but horror. I don't know for sure. Compelling at those times and yucky; I simply can't watch parts of it (closing one eye and keeping the other open). A vampire angel and a bunch of dysfunctional people wanting to be saved???

Great acting however! All in all I'm not sure what this was all about if there was a message in it I sure didn't get it. Be good boys and girls, there might be something after death. Or we disintegrate snd unite as one.

The moral of the story is about your ego; let go of yourself and recognize that you are an energy being, and we are all one in energy and that one energy is God for God is all things. Life is but an eternal dream. Compelling and dramatic, realistic no. Adam and Eve survived with mana falling from heaven drifting away in a boat. I Am that I Am. And LIFE IS BUT A DREAM, or maybe a nightmare, you choose.

What year was it? Why didn't she have a TV or a radio or a car? She was poor but she could afford something to ease her loneliness. This is a sad movie about an old lady who is forced to retire as a rural postal service person who has her post office in her own home, which is a gathering place for the town. Everyone is upset when they have to close the post office down to have post boxes installed but yet when Nora has to retire nobody seems to come around and console her. Why aren't they there after she's retired. A small country town being upgraded is painful to watch. Then they bring in this young hitchhiking girl out of nowhere who was a very similar lost person like Nora (postal worker) was but they never really connect except for a few hours. I didn't get why she was in the movie at all. All I know, I thought this was a sad movie (being an older than the postal woman in it and having being pushed out my job as I got older, I can relate). If you like sad slow movies you'll like this. It was nicely done albeit bleak and Karen Allen's (Nora) acting was really good. I like her a lot but I really did not care for her part in it. It was too depressing. It seems they do not make happy movies today; could it be the world is just an unhappy place. Then again it is what we make it. Try the movie you might like it. Being old and retired doesn't need to be sad. Losing a lifetime heartfelt job is sad.

OMG people are so crazy. Goobelygok nonsense taking gaming too far, manipulating humanity.

I'm trying very hard to stay with this I'm on an episode 6 it's so ludicrous, screwed up and a bit scary. That's the thing, the internet controls so much and people are so gullible and vulnerable, and don't want to think for themselves, so they find it easier to believe whatever the internet says or the dark web I should say.

I'm sick of the invisible Q. It's just a gimmick. A young guy who is too smart for his own good, playing games with government. And "they" thought Snowden was bad? Ha!

This series is messing with those watching - screwing with their minds

Who is John Qalt (John Galt) not.

Pretentious. This is cultish, reminds me of Scientology in a way I can't describe. I guess the snoopiness of it.

That Jim guy (Watkins?) and his son seem to be a can short of a six-pack especially the dad Jim. Goofy folks.

"THEY" SAY THEY WALK AMONG US, PERHAPS, "THEY" DO. As these are creepy beings whatever they may be.

Disrupting society is a game to them. Ridiculous people pretending to be important. If you are a fan of the dark web and enjoy being manipulated by ludicrous people, overly techie people who have nothing better to do than to show off, you'll like the series. It's conspiracy theory propaganda in my view..

They are so intelligent, they're stupid. Yes people are easily led, but they are starting to wake up too. I find the people that are associated with this so-called Q, pompous and pretending to have a big secret. Who cares?

Eccentric silly people. It gets very boring after a while. If I thought that President Trump was he dumb enough to listen to some of this stuff it would be disarming. I think Trump has more sense than believing in evil conspiracy theories and revolutionaries. He would not have time for this nonsense. It's a shame what it has caused. It's pure evil. You're fired!

This movie is extremely hard to follow for me. It just keeps you guessing about what the heck's going on and I guess this is a spoiler but the ending sucked. All the 10 stars I just don't get it, people seeing death as happily ever after I guess and self sacrifice. Definitely not a happily ever after story. The guy was a do-gooder and a saint I guess but that's about it. I love Will Smith and he seems to be that kind of kind man, but I found the movie a downer. And I still don't totally understand what really happened with the car crash.
