For a show steeped in apocalyptic dread and regret, 12 Monkeys has a surprisingly light sense of humor. It helps that the cast is so rock solid. ... Here’s a world-bending time odyssey with a profound adoration for the ghosts of TV junk past.
The complexity to which the stories and characters are woven together over 4 seasons is superb. I was originally skeptical when the series was announced. What could it add to the "12 Monkeys" movie mythology? I am happy to say that I was very wrong. "12 Monkeys" is one of the best sci fi shows E-V-E-R on TV. There's something for everyone. There's time travel, apocalyptic events, a love story, life lessons and great humor. Jennifer Goines (Emily Hampshire) is one of the highlights of the series. The WWII episode where she sings Pink's "U + Ur Hand" to a room full of **** officers is a delight.
So what have we learned from "12 Monkeys"? No matter what the odds, never given up. Hope always wins over despair. Love transcends all (even time). Live in the moment because that's all we have.
I registered on the site immediately after seeing the first 6 episodes of this season of 12 Monkeys because I had a great desire to talk about this wonderful series. 12 Monkeys has reached a very high level, so much to be added among the best ever series. If even the last 3 episodes and the final maintain this high quality, we are facing a veritable masterpiece of television history.
I started this series only a few days ago thanks to user reviews. I completely agree with the reviews of other users. Once again it has been shown that specialized critics do not know a **** Beautiful series, watch it otherwise you miss one of the best series ever.
12 Monkeys is an incredible and very underrated series. It seems to me that he received a reception similar to another very underrated series called Black Sails (the best pirate series ever). 12 Monkeys is the same thing: the best series on time travel. There is no comparison to other series like Travelers or Timeless, 12 Monkeys is on another level. In short, it is a point of reference to which everyone will have to look and learn. Look at this series, do yourself a favor.
My God what a beautiful series. It exceeded all my expectations. Wonderful. Recommended vision for everyone, especially for fans of stories about time travel.
I'm not judging only this last season, which started in an incredible way, a quality that could deserve 10/10, but the whole series and this season. The series has improved episode after episode to become one of the best TV series of all time and certainly the best ever created on time travel. Incredible characters, well written and very good actors. Well-written story, well-designed sets and a quality direction always. What more could you want?
Disappointed overall with the series. I liked seasons 1 - 2 but much of season 3 and 4 was ridiculous. I am a sci-fi fan (BSG ranks near the top of my all time list) but this show fizzled for me. I stuck it out hoping for an emotional payoff but the ending did not satisfy. Its not that I wanted a different ending, I just didn't care if Cole and Cassie were together. And how everything was magically fixed was not well explained. Best part was finding Olivia's skeletal remains with traces of the virus. I guess that was my favorite part of the ending. But "Don't You Forget About Me" scenes almost ruins the Breakfast Club and Pitch Perfect.
