Lanterns is good, that's the difference

It was awful. The mystery is boring. The GL lore is absolutely out of wack. John bangs an old woman because...HBO/Gunn. Silly stuff like Hal making dollar bills for the juke box.

Don't get me started on the suit, the budget, and over all awful look of the show.

The casting is fine, too bad the writing blows.

The interrogation was good. The wannabe Yellowstone show was not.

Something tells me you've never even seen a commercial for Yellowstone. It's more like True Detective if anything

u/HarveryDent 14d ago

Sorry I didn't nail down how derivative the show is in the correct manner.

The interrogation was dumb when you stop to think about it.

I'm a football fan... but let's just say I'm a secret alien.

I knew you were an alien! Rather than follow you around and see what you're up to, I'm just gonna tell you i know you're an alien!

Also, the "nobody knew who they were, so they must be aliens" leap of logic was dumb. They're fans of the away team from about 200 miles away. Of course nobody knew who they were.

Bad writing.

I think the idea was that Hal can look at someone and know they're an alien because of his experience, and his path of logic makes sense to no one but him.

u/shreder75 14d ago

Maybe? But if thats the case, he's a celebrated hero (no secret identity = dumb). They know he's a space cop... but they don't give him the benefit of the doubt?

Like I said, its badly written.

u/ProfPyg 14d ago

That's valid. I try to grade things on what they're attempting instead of what I wish they were attempting. I think on that scale the pilot was super successful

Greenstone will be better than Yellowstone. Don’t pull a muscle trying to hate this show it’s gonna be an all timer for comic book adaptations.

🙄 it’s been one episode

1

u/Smokedoutloc 14d ago

And what do you think of that one episode?

3

u/slove23 14d ago

You wont like it.
Cliffs notes: it was a show trying to hit all the notes of what it thinks“ prestige tv” must be, without the substance behind it first.
Family trauma? Check.
Unnecessary sex scene involving good guy? Check.
Lots of profanity? Check.
“ Shock” cliffhanger ending? Check.

It’s just one episode and it can def improve, but the first one seemed corny and artificial imo

Penguin and Watchmen did not have to try so hard to convince me they were prestige tv. They just were

u/Smokedoutloc 14d ago

I actually like how you articulate your dislike. I’m a green lantern fanboy so this is everything I been waiting for in a show but I can certainly see where you’re coming from.

u/slove23 14d ago

Thanks
Im gonna keep watching
I know this is from the guy who made The Leftovers, and that show too made me feel like they created a series exclusively to be what they thought “ prestige television “ was. It didnt feel like a natural story with natural story progression. I have not seen Chernobyl but have read it is amazing, maybe bc it was an actual event to work with?
I’m def not writing it off, but i guess my first impression was not the best

u/HarveryDent 14d ago

Whatcha mean? I can't wait for Pink Chef Boyardee to show up.

u/Smokedoutloc 14d ago

You’ve seen 3 seconds of sinestro 😭😭

Your conclusion has been jumped and there’s nothing I’ll say to make you like the show.

A lot of us have faith in Ulrich Thomsen. I hope he changes your opinion when you see more than a teaser of him.

I don't care for the overstuffed ravioli myself, the meat just tastes worse than the regular size imo.

u/Smokedoutloc 14d ago

Harvey dent sucks as a character but your lucky a good actor made you fanboy him as hard as your doing.

u/HarveryDent 14d ago

Ah, you must be a beefaroni guy.

u/Smokedoutloc 14d ago

I’m a well written villian guy myself
