Gruesome, gripping and blackly comic, this tightly-plotted mystery-horror is meaty in all the right (and wrong) ways.
Thankfully, the movie resists the urge to sentimentalize or preach, and retains a classic cartoon sense of anarchy and even a touch of amorality.

On a scene-to-scene basis, there’s so much going on… that it’s easy enough to enjoy the small picture, separate from the big one.
It features stellar performances from the parallel casts of young actors and familiar veterans portraying characters some 25 years apart.
The movie plays its target audience like a fiddle. That is music, no matter how familiar, that even the most cynical among us can enjoy.
The Bad Guys is most notable for the way it wastes a premise and ends up feeling like a second-rate Zootopia wannabe.

Rated for idea and atmosphere. But the show was very disappointing! Such an intriguing start, a most interesting non-linear structure … Then an increasingly sluggish narrative and, as a result, a completely moronic ending like with a hook for the new season. Not a single question was answered. That’s not how it’s done. Translated to English

Watched
I started watching, and my wife finished. I don’t see anything terrible, the girls wanted to eat, but there was no food … Translated to English

Watched
I put a point because of the acting: the charming Juliette Lewis, the frightening Christina Ritchie, the shy Melanie Lynskey and the aspiring star Ella Purnel. Of course, there are many controversial issues in the series. I was waiting for something similar to Lord of the Flies at least from episode 3, but damn dragged out Translated to English

The series and its actors evoke a different spectrum of emotions. In some ways it scares, in some ways it irritates, but in general, I liked the plot, the characters too, it was interesting to follow the story, but of course the story is not finished, the application for the 2nd season. Something between Lost and True Detective, but obviously weaker Translated to English
