![]() ![]() A pretty poor first season did not start things off well & the second tried to right much of the wrongs, thanks to it no longer being hamstrung by the film it was based on. Sadly, I don't think I can stomach it and so, my journey with this show ends at episode five.It’s not the easiest thing to get excited about season three of the From Dusk Till Dawn TV series. ![]() I'm giving this show a 4 as opposed to the 2 or 3 that it deserves because I still have hope that the remaining five episodes I have yet to watch were somewhat of an improvement. Anti-heroes, characters with mysterious pasts, and ancient Mesoamerican supernatural beings? This is the recipe for a great show! Some better writing could have made this show one of my favourites. Instead, I'll end off with one positive: the movie was great and this show had so much potential to expand on the stories of the characters as well as the mythology. I'm not going to get into the acting or the strange pacing of the show because I can go on and on about those things and several other faults of the show. Human beings can't possibly be as stupid as they are depicted on the show! The actual dialogue is uninspired - filled with corny sayings and lacks the sharpness found in other Netflix shows like House of Cards or Orange is the New Black. It's infuriating to watch the Fullers and Freddie make irrational decisions as well as for the Gecko brothers to keep slipping past police in ways that obviously won't happen in the real world. The writing is not only weak, but it insults the viewer by assuming the viewer is dumb. This show lacks one very important thing - good writing. I ultimately had to end my suffering after five episodes. Alas, with each episode, I grew not to love the Gecko brothers, but to hate them and every. I kept trudging on from episode to episode, expecting it to get better. However, this show fell extremely short of my expectations. I also wanted to like it because previous Netflix orginals were amazing and this show was sure to be one as well. I Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like the show because Rodriguez himself was behind it and the actors seem likeable. … Expandĭon't get me wrong, I wanted to like the show because Rodriguez himself was behind it and the actors seem likeable. Sadly most people just don't know enough to catch that, but then this series has something for anyone with an open mind. I love the reference to the Aztec myth of the two brothers who escape Hell, too. As a lover of mythology I am happy with the inventive way its invoked…In episode 6 I bet a few people caught Carlos' reference to Tezcatlipoca, the Aztec god also called the dark mirror. ![]() I love the inventive use of Mesoamerican myth. But it grew past that annoying Tarantino "ooh, its so shocking" style. Its kept the thrilling breakneck pace that makes me hold my breath, waiting to see what comes next. The series is something I am proud to enjoy. ![]() I saw the film as a kid, and enjoyed it for a guilty pleasure. But it grew past that annoying Its both like and completely unlike the movie.
