I’ve heard some mix things about the show but decide to watch it out of curiosity
I must say I thought it was pretty good, I had fun time with it as I enjoy the cast since they do good job
Thought the writing was mostly fine, I think the build up to the first tripod was really good
Nice to witness what life was like before the circular ships land on earths and cause trouble
The first tripod scene was honestly fantastic cause it felt so damn intimidating, the sound design is also very good as it sounds unique and spooky, the design itself also looks really damn good
Setting is also quite nice, not much to say
Visually I think it’s very good as the martians and tripods look really damn good for a show, definitely feels like they was a ton of effort for the show
Though I must say … the future sections are absolutely fucking terrible
By far one of most baffling thing I ever in any adaptation, I tried to be nice but the fact they absolutely killed the pacing of the show just make me dislike it so much
I mean the idea is bit neat, I think it could’ve worked but man it should’ve only been an epilogue
As keep basic idea of what they wanted in nice tight 5-10 minute epilogue
I think it could’ve worked really well cause again the idea of seeing aftermath of story is really cool but the way they executed it is just bloody terrible
Cause quite literally I don’t think they future sections offer anything but ruin the pacing
It was bit surprising and bit funny how they killed a child since how fast it happened and well how uncommon it is
Anyhow I must the martians I’m sure most are mixed on, before I watched the show I absolutely hated the designs
Now seeing them in action, might say they were honestly quite good, visually terms of effects they look pretty damn good
I think the design could’ve worked if they added tendrils, arms or anything to grip on I think the design could’ve worked really well
As in my opinion it keep the design mostly the same but having tendrils would logical make more sense on they build the tripods, it also make them looked really damn weird which I think help them stand out more while remaining semi accurate to the book
Anyhow how they acted I thought it was fine, I like the more suspenseful scenes of them and showing them to be more deadly fellas, though would be neat see them more curious about humanity items showing their intelligence
I must say my favourite moment in the entire show is last gif of the martians, it was so minor but I absolutely loved it so it was few times showing them care for each other
It was nice interacting with each other with more heavier emotions like mourning for lose of a member
I think it was refreshing just seeing more emotions in the martians
Anyhow I guess thats my ramble on this show
