More human than not...


I haven't even watched it yet, but I doubt I even need to. Just from the title I can tell it's a fairly low budget show, which is fine I guess, can't really expect them to pull off some amazing, mind-blowing, next level CGI(or costumes if anyone even does that these days, a shame because a high quality costume will beat CGI any day).

I'll probably have a look at it at some point but you can see that I went to imdb *before* I watched the episode! There's a reason for that, mostly because I'm unsure what this show is and to see the score. You get a fairly good idea on how good/bad the show is if you're on imdb early when a show is airing to catch the *serious* voters, before people just vote 10 or 1 just because they can and skews the ratings. Otherwise you'd have to wait several months to get a good reading. When I'm posting this the show is at 6.3 and that's pretty terrible, not going to lie. This means not too many trolls have posted 10's which means the show isn't very good at all.

A shame? Maybe I'm wrong, let's hope I'm wrong and the show is really good. I do like *good* shows but let's be fair, I'm fine with just an okay show as long as it's interesting.

I tend to watch an episode before making any judgement since the IMDb rating is about as useful as a chocolate teapot until a film or show is 15 years old. Until then a rating is either skewed by those who worked on a *beep* show giving it 10 or people who expected something different giving it 0.

The Aliens won't win any awards, but it's better than it's rating which is the result of idiots thinking it is scifi because of the name. I'm starting to understand why so many shows and movies have a different name in the US to everywhere else, everything is taken literally over there (The boat that rocked > Pirate Radio...)
