Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Truly Dreadful Film

best movie i've ever seen.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

So s-l-o-w. This could have been shown in 4 episodes instead of 20! Worst thing ever to come "Out of Africa". Jumping between "verses" is an interesting concept - in view of theoretical physicists propounding existence of infinite number of universes existing alongside our own. Gamma verse was an Arcadian paradise with beautiful vistas and beautiful people - even O1 Boxer was pleasant here (until his father, Brian Boxer, ventured here and killed O1's family) Beta verse, where most of the action takes place, is a reflection of our current state - countryside, city, buildings, people like ourselves (except for the nasty Vex-Cor corporation and its minions). Alpha verse is a futuristic nightmare of where we are headed - polluted city (a la Blade Runner), big corporations (especially Vex-Cor) running things (Vex-Cor even try stealing resources from Beta verse, viz. water, to replace the shortages in Alpha verse, stating "it will be a better future for all"), citizens classified into hierarchical groups (e.g. a "C3" is not allowed to own property). This is possibility the series most "realistic" message.

I was attracted towards this show because of it's hight ratings. I am a big fan of SciFi. But after watching this show I have to admit that it was a boring show and a complete waste of time. I don't know why it got a rating of 7.5. I lost interest after watching the first episode and thought maybe it was get interesting after a few episodes.But it was as boring as from the first episode.For the writer, "if you are writing a science fiction series, at least add some science into it and not just the fiction".Even the fiction in the series is so boring and don't understand what they are doing.

waiting for this show to improve. Several sites, and at least one reviewer on this site, have assured viewers that the show "takes off" around episode 10. Can't do it. I made it through five episodes and that was all I could take.Visually, the show is great. I'm a big fan of "Blade Runner" and I thought that the show captured the same feeling of a dystopian universe(s) extremely well. But the script is...well, inadequate. If you're interested in character development and complexity of motivation, there are lots of shows and movies out there that do a better job than CJ.And I didn't really find the plot all that confusing, though it helped to have some idea of what the show was about before I started watching.The script, however, is like a "worst of" from series like "Lost." There are long, awkward pauses and all sorts of timing issues in the plot development. Ultimately, it's a soap opera where the writers' goal is to release JUST enough information to get you to tune in to the next episode. And what I find especially disconcerting is that it hardly seems like there are any subplots that actually get resolved in any single episode. Maybe I just need to keep on plowing through it until I reach episode 11.

It seems as if there were only a handful of viewers watching this show in the U.S., but as one of them I'm sad to see it go, especially knowing that I'll likely never see another season-- or, for that matter, a Region 1 DVD. And even though it's been a bit tough following such a complex, and often brilliant, program with no one to discuss it with (none of my friends or family were interesting in keeping up on a show that airs at 1 AM on Monday morning here), I'm glad I did. It was a rewarding experience; and you don't get many of those from a TV show.It has a remarkable visual style, excellent dialogue, an unapologetically complex (if sometimes confusing) plot line, a dense mythology, and some of the most fascinating character development I've ever seen (someone could write a thesis on 01 Boxer's behavior and motivations alone).If you do get a chance to check the show out, stick with it. It can be difficult to follow at times, but it's worth it. I was a few episodes in before I had a good grasp of what was going on, and by then I was hooked, as I think most will be who give this series a proper chance.It really is quite an amazing show, and I just think it's a shame that there's room enough on television for 3 incarnations of "CSI" but no audience for something as novel and thought-provoking as "Charlie Jade."
