Gravity

At the start of this series I thought I was going to have to shut it off. All of the main characters were boring and it was like a collection of people I didn't like. I have never been a large fan of Kristen Ritter or Ivan Sergei and I had zero interest in shipping this couple that literally starts out having sex at a drop of a hat. And Jorge's character is downright offensive. However, along comes Detective Miller. As a result of Lizzy's trying to kill herself she meets detective Miller who, as he reminds people, is watching her because suicide is still a crime. As the show goes along it keeps focusing on him. As if he is one of the main cast. At first I thought he was going to end up a member of the suicide group (and perhaps that was the plan for season 2) but it goes another way. I absolutely adored the character and watched the rest of the series to see him. The actor did a great job carving out a troubled but still lovable character that the audience can root for. I would watch the series for him but not feel too guilty about pressing the fast forward button often.

I thought this was a great show about a band of no longer suicidal misfits. I love that broken people can fix themselves and find ways to fit with others who also feel out of place in this world.

It took me a second to get used to the way it's shot but something about it adds to the feeling that you're peeking into a part of people's lives that you're not supposed to see. There are definitely absurdest topics and jokes (see all sex scenes with the character Jorge and many of Miller's lines) but it just added another thing to look forward to in each new episode.

I'm probably biased because I identify with a lot of the sentiments on the show and the dark parts that it explored are rarely brought to life.

I am so p!ssed that it is now gone and there is another show that leaves me with lifelong questions as to the fate of beloved characters. Damn you Starz! Can we at least get a mini series or 2 hour wrap up or something?

We're mid way through the first season of Gravity and not surprisingly comments are very diverse. I say it is not surprising because Gravity is a subtle, cognitive, emotional and non-formulaic show which can take some time to get a handle on, but once you do it's a deep-cool trip well worth your while, but you must stay with it like with any relationship of substance that grows at almost imperceptible intervals until its virtues appear in gratifying surprises.

Take the main theme of the show: suicide. Who hasn't contemplated checking out of this dimension from time to time, at least when at the motor vehicle department or more importantly when in a hellish place within our own interior? These are dark, scary places, but it's very cathartic and important to look under the rocks of despair and confront the rawest and most tormented areas of life where the full gamut of emotions and thoughts run wildly, often on a collision course with mortality itself.

For those still on the fence, perhaps some of your angst comes from the non-formulaic nature of the show. There's no shame in admitting that we expect railings and handles in certain places, especially when shambling along in the dim light of a new series that dodges convention at many turns. It takes a while for any show to get traction, but with a little faith there is no doubt in my mind that Gravity will take you on an interesting and fun journey. I know this because Jill Franklyn, the creator, whom I consider a sort of nouveau female incarnate of Woody Allen, is not going to let this thing ever get hum drum. No, no. She has just begun laying down her roller coaster track, not to physically flail you about, but to cavort your heart and mind subtly. And you need to watch carefully to stay on the ride, one that Starz will hopefully allow to continue on its wonderful course.

I have seen three episodes. The initial thought was that there has to be some hook or something somewhere to make the audience to come back for more, but so far I am wrong.

The acting is poor, characters flat, 'jokes' not funny, unimaginative script, no twists, no humour, nothing to disgust me, or feel any kind of emotion, or even make me think. It is as entertaining as watching paint dry.

If you are a fan of either House, Dexter, Lost, Chuck, Glee, or the slow paced Justified, then you probably will find this series (so far) very very disappointing, and that is being kind.

Just like chuck opened with Cake's 'Short Skirt, Long Jacket', this should have opened up with a version of "Mad World", but that would have been it's only redeeming feature, and a waste of a good song.

Wake up... plez bring this stellar cast and amazing writers back and continue their stories. We need more "not status quo" tv programs, we desperately crave more original content and relatable characters. I was hooked after the first episode, and just like a good book l could not stop watching. l was amazed and awed by the cast chemistry, the fluidity of the humor peppered through it. l am a suicide survivor and can appreciate that finally someone has written an honest and definitely insightful and unadultrated perspective many suicidal's actually believe and experience. Plez bring this amazing show back and continue the healing and education...we so desperately need it in today's world - even 10 years later the show content is timeless!
