Not even bad in a good way

Excellent, a Must See

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I binge watched seasons 1 and 2, and I am hoping that there will be a season 3 because I am hooked. You have to remember that it is a dark comedy, so it is not trying to portray reality, but satirize elements of reality such as psychics, new age motivational speakers, gypsy families, crime families, and blend them all together into a violent dishonest dangerous interactive soup, that swirls around some innocent naive teenagers who are caught up in the horror of Romany tradition. While it is satire, you just do not know if at the heart of it all, whether the visions that Charlie has after a blow to the head are real, valid evidence of actual psychic phenomenon, while on the other hand the storyline seems to invalidate real psychics like John Edward. Towards the end of season 2, Jeffrey Donovan looks, sounds and performs so much like John Edward, that I began to feel that the series was aimed at John Edward. However, in this comedic version of reality, Charlie has a team relaying messages to him based on research that they have done from the internet social media, which did not even exist when John Edward was a popular TV celebrity. Anyway, if there is a Season 3, there are some plot lines left hanging, and it could all end as the season ended, or take everything to another level. However, the main theme seems to be that everything is a con and nothing is real.

I waited for this show to come out after seeing some advertisements. I thought it was going to be awesome. However, after the first episode was only slightly interesting, and the second was a little less interesting, and then I turned into a mind reader myself and could have practically written the show myself. Overall it was highly predictable, the characters were shady and tragically stupid, and most of the "shock value" was shocking, but not for the right reasons. Its an okay show to put in the background and just pass your time with. Wouldn't recommend more time put into it that that.Shut eye is basically this giant fudge pile of wanting to be other shows, but with psychics instead.

I wasn't sure what I'd think of this show and at first glance, and to be honest, I didn't even want to give it a shot. I was bored one night and gave up on Walking Dead, so I took a chance. Glad I did! After the first episode, I couldn't stop watching it and I ended up finishing the whole season in like 3 days or so. So many ups and downs! I was gritting my teeth the whole time I was watching it. I'm from LA and I really like TV shows that take place here for some reason. It's cool to see my own neighborhood on TV. I don't want to give anything away, but I really hope Hulu picks it up for a second season. The last scene of the final episode had me crapping my pants.

I'm no psychic but after power watching the first season of Shut Eye this past weekend I get a strong sense that Hulu will pick this one up for a second season. Fingers crossed.I actually had no idea about this series and then saw the entire season one come available. I jumped in and first thing I see is Jeffrey Donovan as the lead. Score!Donavan was brilliant in Fargo so it was an absolute joy seeing him playing a new character in a larger and more significant role, and he didn't disappoint.Another pleasant surprise was seeing Angus Sampson playing Fonso. Sampson was also in Fargo and played alongside Donovan as his brother, Bear Gerhardt. The two of these guys together makes for pure TV bliss. Cheers guys!The rest of the cast is loaded with talent as well with special nods to Isabella Rossellini, KaDee Strickland, Susan Misner, and Dexter's own David Zayas.Overall, this is a stylish, action-packed thriller that incorporates just about everything needed for a series to be successful. In fact, that's one area where they may have tried a bit too hard. Much like a great dish with just a few too many elements on the plate. Some of the sex and drug scenes for instance seemed a bit forced in for perhaps the sake of increased ratings. Still, easy enough to live with given the quality of everything else.Another questionable area to mention was the heavy stereotyping of Gypsies which doesn't seem to be sitting well with the Gypsy community, although they did try to balance this out in one of the episodes with a community gathering of sorts which addressed this very issue. Tough one to get right here.In the end, Shut Eye was an extremely pleasant surprise. The episodes flew by and I sincerely hope Hulu has the brains to keep this one going.
