Because I liked the movie and because I read on here that a lot of reviewers thought this was the best show ever I thought it would be a good idea watching 12 Monkeys. The first season I would give it a seven, because it's all new, you don't know what to expect yet, and it is mysterious like the movie was. It's very hard too understand though, also like the movie, but I remembered that in the movie I thought you got plenty of explanations to have a good movie in the end. In the series though the further you get into the story the more you get annoyed. The constant jumping in time (like 6 or 7 times per episode) is getting boring and confusing. And they obviously want to milk this story as much as possible. The amount of ridiculous things they come up with is quite fascinating, The Red Forest, The Witness, The Sisters, and so much more. And then there are also a couple actors that are just not good enough in this show. Barbara Sukowa is extremely annoying to watch, and Kirk Acevedo has also his moments where you wish he would just die. I tried to watch season two till the end but because I fell asleep a lot during some episodes, and that I couldn't even bother to rewind the story, I just gave up on it one episode before the season's finale. I saw there was a third season, and I will pass on that one because I don't see it getting better. I would give season two a generous five what gives this show a generous average of six.
