SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
... View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
... View MoreI'm usually working until 9 so I miss a lot of shows. I recently found Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix and really enjoyed it. Yes like many said the beginning was slow at first, but many shows are like that until everyone gets used to acting together. It's very sad that they don't renew god shows, but keep these stupid reality shows (Survivor, BBH or Bachelor) on or produceing remakes of old shows (McGyver, Magnum PI and the Odd Couple). I'm going to miss Taxi Brooklyn.
... View MoreThis show was great!!! As I kept watching I was hooked! I really hope the rumors about canceling the show are false. Give us a season 2. PLZ !! I would love for this show to continue. The storyline was excellent an was good enough to keep me interested. One season will not do this TV series justice. The chemistry amongst the actors is very impressive. Some of the acting by the characters could've been slightly better but the storyline makes up for that... Besides I could say the same about many other shows (that some of the actors are not that good) and there storyline is mediocre. AND many of them have more than one season. this show deserves to have a second season. its that good in my opinion. I hope there are others who will watch or have already watched it and feel the same. Please express your desire for them to continue and we may just get what we want. I hope all of this wishful thinking pays off... The fact I took the time to do this should speak volumes of how good I think this show is. With all that being said, I HOPE THERE WILL BE A SECOND SEASON!!!! PLEASE! I hope somehow or some way it helps in the efforts to launch a season 2!!
... View MoreI realise that the networks like to test things out, and that many, many pilots get made each year... My question is, out of all the shows you piloted, what made you pick this one to buy episodes?Action, comedy, crime... These are the genre tags. And sure, we have action, lots and lots of action, a lot of it seemingly contrived for Jacky Ido's character to drive his super souped-up taxi and catch the bad guy.Comedy boils down to hideously awkward situations where people talk about sex. The situational comedy (I could tell the points where I was apparently supposed to laugh, I just failed to get started) just wasn't funny.Crime. Now here we get to the deliberately unfunny and really quite depressing part of the program. The juxtaposition of unfunny sex jokes versus some quite brutal crime was uneasy to say the least. Mob hits on characters versus Cat's mother oversharing her planned dirty weekend with Cat's Captain... far from funny, creepy and really inappropriate.Desperately uneven pacing, a lead female character who is miserable, bad-tempered and aggressive 99% of the time, split from FBI husband, French taxi driver who's a brilliant driver because he was ONCE (one time only) a getaway driver for a bank robbery, a best friend who turns out to be evil kingpin... there are so many sins in this writing I am at a complete loss where to start.Eleven out of twelve episodes follow this lumpy formula, but then we have the twelfth episode where the entire feel, writing, characterisation changes. I think the final episode is the biggest sin of all. It crams so much into it's 43 minute run time, it's unbelievable. And every single character is on a crash course to oblivion. There are literally so many threads crammed into each minute it becomes a joke.A completely lost opportunity, I love Besson's work, have done for years, and if this was supposed to be based upon one of his films the show developer and script writers have clearly misunderstood everything. A shame, because I wanted to enjoy this, and I found myself despising it the further in I got.
... View MoreAs a bit of a TV junkie I don't get the horrible reviews. I've enjoyed every episode, especially the last one which had me rolling with laughter. Very well written. Her catching her mother and the captain was a riot. From the reviews I gather we've seen the last of this refreshing, funny, unique cop drama. I'll miss it, along with Gang Related. This summer saw a lot of interesting series television, which is normally crap because no one is watching TV, but I enjoyed most of them, the only exception being that dumb Sweden thing. Looks like 19-2 will survive for another season, which is great.
