War of the Worlds (2019– )

It doesn't get better and there's nothing at the end

[2/10 · 3 November 2019]

I'm not sure why, but I watched all 8 episodes, and after each one ended I would say to myself, "wow, this show is truly awful." But I kept thinking, maybe next episode they'll show the aliens or big alien machines. Let me save you some time: that never happens. The only alien things you see are these cyborg robot dog things that look like what the US army developed several years ago. At one point, they imply that there are more intelligent beings somewhere, but it never goes further than that. They show a lot of dead people lying on the ground. I now believe they were bored to death by reading the scripts. there's a British mini-series of war of the worlds that was produced around the same time, and it's so much better! They show giant alien machines, and the alien creatures come out and eat people! Now I know why you never hear about any hit French TV shows outside of France.
