stake-41266 Okay, the title says it all but there's a lot about this show I disliked. Characters are one dimensional, badly written episodes, and most of the actors are not the best. Used to like Julia when she was Darla on Buffy.I watched for 2 seasons hoping it would get better, nope it got worse.
saul luizaga This review contains spoilers, you have been warned.I think is only fair that this series got canceled, writers made many logical mistakes in the first joint 2 episodes of season 3 and throughout the series, the heroes skin alive a small patch from a doctor, already scared to death, that was perfectly capable of curing the barbaric woman, the hero calling her sweetheart after she put a 2 feet iron bar through the head of a boy, giving up to the demands of a terrorist barbaric father when they outnumbered and outgunned him? just WTF those writers were thinking? were they on drugs or drunk?Also the "good people" threatened to kill the doctor if she didn't cured the primitive woman, instead of comfort her saying that they needed her cured to save the town or why not threaten to arrest the father if he didn't behave.The writers dropped the ball clearly and the series and the viewers suffered; nobody saw this was crap writing? unbelievable!
nickdanzinger I watched the first two seasons and like many other reviewers I found the show watchable and fun but with its flaws. Going in to the third season I was sort of "meh" on the excitement level. But wow, they definitely turned it up a notch. The show is taking far more chances and has gotten WAY more interesting. I am currently on episode 6 of the third season and I am continually surprised at how great the show is becoming. There is definitely some fan- service going on with Doctor Yewll's dry dialogue, and the new additions to the cast add an element of Game-of-Thrones-esque controversy (which is all i can say without giving away too much). If you stopped watching after the 2nd season I would definitely consider giving the third season a try. 9/10
gca_36 I watched all three seasons of Defiance and I liked all of them. The story is nothing we haven't seen before, but so what? Meanwhile it is difficult to make up new stories, because there are no real new stories. So in the end, it's all in the delivery, the fun of the retelling. And having said that, I think Defiance did a good job with the retelling.In my opinion the created characters were quite interesting. OK, at first all appeared to be too much cliché, but the writers still managed to add an extraordinary twist to almost all of them and to their story. Each character was well developed and multi-layered. They were not one dimensional, all good or all bad, but did portray positive and negative traits. In a way the show reminded me a bit of Farscape (no wonder since Rockne S. O'Bannon was the creator of this show, too). A lot of effort was put into the portrayal of the various cultures with their own music, rituals, prayers, languages, religions, prejudices, and personality tendencies. Another similarity to Farsacpe is, that Defiance too is a show about values. Love can overcome differences and cooperation produces better results than confrontation. That was the main reason why it was fun for me to watch the show.
