I'm thinking it picks up years after where the original story left off. If you never watched the original "Orphan Black" series, it's worth a look. Tatiana Maslany is incredible, she plays several different clones, all with their own look, lives and distinct personalities. There were 5 clones in the main story, but there were a bunch of others throughout the series. I think Helena was my favorite clone.
Cosima was my favorite. I liked Rachel a lot too despite her being evil.
Saw the first episode so far and agree with everything you said, including the only character that is tough to get buy in. In that kid’s defense though, David Hyde Pierce is forever typecast as Niles because he did such a great job with the character. They probably shouldn’t have tried to bring back the ‘magic.’ Feels like a cross between a Sheldon, Niles and Woody character with no claim of its own. Watching Frasier Part III (LOL) makes me realize how much laugh tracks have gone away. Almost feels weird hearing one again, but it was a good decision to keep it with the history of the past shows. Even watching classics like Seinfeld in Season 1 again was rough. I’m sure they’ll get the rhythm going, they have a solid enough premise.
It's an entertaining episode. I believe the actors are the ones that do the voices on Lower Decks.Hmmm. Haven’t bothered watching a new Star Trek show since Next Generation other than The Lower Decks because it cracks me up. I may have to watch this Strange Worlds episode where they pulled a Star Wars and brought out the live versions. Dead on casting.
I started watching the first episode, but I really struggled to get through it. It just does not have the same feel as the original Frasier without Niles and the father, who passed away in real life. Frederick was never a good character in the show in the first place. But the show needs Niles. I understand Roz will make guest appearances in the show at some point but that won't be enough IMO.
Starting e8 now. It's just a little "girl power", but at least they're not treating it like all men are weak, stupid scumbags.
The show is good for what it is.
That's crazy, didn't realize that. I guess they based the animated characters then off the voice actors.
Been meaning to watch that. Always thought Zoe Saldana was a great action star. That's the same guy too who made Yellowstone, right?
I watched the first three episodes yesterday. Thus far, it’s pretty ‘meh’ for me. It just feels like a Kelsey Grammer money grab to me. His fingerprints are all over it, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. And I think he just doesn’t want to share the money with anyone else.
If you can get past the accents (especially his mother's) it's not too bad. I wouldn't say it's "must see", or even "probably should see", but it's okay. It's almost amateurish, but it kinda feels like it's supposed to be?
