Simply Perfect

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It started out excellent but as it went towards end it kind of mellow down. In the end not that impressive. But it started with bang, I was thinking it could be one of the most interesting TV series but unfortunately it didn't live up to that standard

This is one of the few shows on television at the moment I literally can't wait to tune in for each week and watch the clock not wanting it to end. The premise/plot of the show is captivating and established in a realistic setting in world similar enough to our own to allow any fictional elements to be believable. The characters are like-able even though the lead comes off as hard and somewhat non personable. Her overly skeptic nature and beliefs only add to the suspense in situations in which even her full attention is focused and events that she ultimately questions. This is really well done in my opinion so far and completely different than anything else on TV. It's not a procedural and instead is serialized with episodes that have a clear beginning, middle and end that build up the story line. Hope this one makes it for season 2, although the concepts are a bit more complex/controversial for most Americans to contemplate while enjoying a television show so I wont hold my breathe.

Way too many AMC commercials for me. Only way to watch it is recorded so the always-present commercials don't ruin it(30 minutes of programming, 30 minutes of commercials, every 5 minutes!) A possible "afterlife" is the premise for the show so far, with a billionaire proposing billion of dollars to the surgeon if she can prove it exists as he is dying and "wants to know". Everything else that happens is subservient to that premise and as such, is mostly filler.Beals is tops as a no-nonsense hospital surgeon, but it was obvious from the start that she will eventually change her mind about the possibility of an afterlife. You watch, it will happen. Everything that is going to happen in TV these days is telegraphed from miles away, so there is never any mystery about what will follow. Connect the dots. Easy.Average TV drama, except for the powerful and dynamic presence of Beals. Without her, the show would not be worth it.

I'll be honest; I didn't have a lot of interest in this from the description. Still, I thought I'd check it out.Beals is good but her character is silly. In the first scene as she swaggers into the operating room she seems less like a surgeon than like a combat pilot from some '40s movie. I mean, she does it quite well, but it comes across as really unlikely. The premise is, of course, super silly. Rich dying guy pays random person to research life after death. As opposed to, say, hiring a large research firm. Or, as someone else suggested, donating money to work on a cure for what's killing him.The show is silly, but seems to take itself pretty seriously, especially in the whole grieving family drama parts.Beals was good in her oddly-written role, and the intern she yells at was also quite good, but around the halfway point, before I could even figure exactly how they were going to approach the topic, I got so bored I just gave up. There's no afterlife; I need to make the most of this one by only watching good TV.
