- Apple outta pipe down on the drama, and pump more action, we will see. Invasion too suffered from the same deal, was nothing like shown in the trailers.Wordsworth
- watched ep 1 last night, starts well but goes off on a plodding plot with high production values, might stay with it if there's really nothing else onGardener
- Its like they took all the bits I didn't enjoy from that Godzilla movie and continued them in this.webazoot

- Too bad the canceled it after one short season and it they definitely didn't know it was ending when they made the last episode.CyBrainX
- Wasn't bad. Got about 4 episodes in when it got cancelled so we stopped.ArmandoEstrada
- I'd say it ended fairly well for a season finale. There was definitely a plot twist and few unanswered questions. I'd definitely finish watching.CyBrainX

Dinosaurs touched upon multiple topical issues, which include environmentalism, endangered species, women's rights, sexual harassment, LGBT rights, objectification of women, censorship, civil rights, body image, steroid use, allusions to masturbation (in the form of Robbie doing the solo mating dance), drug abuse, racism (in the form of a dispute between the two-legged dinosaurs and the four-legged dinosaurs), peer pressure, rights of indigenous peoples (in the form of the dinosaurs interacting with cavepeople), corporate crime, government interference in parenting, and pacifism.
In the episode "I Never Ate for My Father," in lieu of carnivorism, Robbie chooses to eat vegetables, and the other characters liken this to homosexuality, communism, drug abuse and counter culture.
In the final season, "The Greatest Story Ever Sold" (a take-off of The Greatest Story Ever Told) references religion when the Sinclair family becomes eager to learn the meaning of their existence. The Elders dictate a new system of beliefs, and the entire cast (with the exception of Robbie) abandons science to blindly follow the newly popular "Potato-ism".
Another religious-themed episode was "The Last Temptation of Ethyl," in which Ethyl willingly allows a televangelist to exploit her near-death experience to extort money from followers. She backs out after having a second such experience, where instead of heaven, she experiences a "place not so nice": an existence surrounded by nothing but multiple Earl Sneed Sinclairs.
The series finale of Dinosaurs, titled "Changing Nature", depicts the irresponsible actions of the dinosaurs toward their environment, and the ensuing Ice Age which leads to their demise. In the episode, a swarm of bunch beetles do not show up as expected to devour a form of creeper vine. Charlene discovers that a wax fruit factory called FruitCo has been constructed by Wesayso-controlled swampland that serves as the bunch beetles' breeding grounds, causing the extinction of the species (save for one male named Stan) who were killed off by the developers. Charlene and Stan make this information public on the news. After getting a phone call from his superiors at Wesayso who are fearing a public relations nightmare more than any environmental threat, B.P. Richfield quickly puts Earl in charge of an attempt to destroy the vines, which have grown out of control without the beetles to keep them in check. Earl proposes spraying the planet with defoliant which causes the destruction of the vines, but also kills off all plant life on the planet. B.P. Richfield assumes that the creation of clouds will bring rain, allowing the plants to grow back, and so decides to create clouds by dropping bombs in the planet's volcanoes to cause eruptions and cloud cover. The dark clouds instead cause global cooling, in the form of a gigantic cloud cover that scientists, the viewer learns, estimate would take "tens of thousands of years" to dissipate. When he gets a call from Earl, B.P. Richfield dismisses this as a "4th quarter problem" and states that Wesayso is currently making record-breaking profits from the cold weather selling blankets, heaters, and hot cocoa mix as the result of the "cold snap". Later, Earl apologizes to his family and Stan for his actions that led to the end of the world. Baby is reassured by Robbie and Charlene that whatever happens, nobody is going to leave and that they will all stay together. Earl tries to assure everyone that it will work out okay, saying that dinosaurs have been on this Earth for 150 million years and it is not like they are going to just disappear. There is a brief shot of the wax fruit factory as it starts to get buried in snow. At DNN, Howard Handupme states that the weather forecast is the same. He concludes his broadcast by saying, "This is Howard Handupme. Good night. Goodbye." The ending credits roll with scenes of snow falling around the Sinclair home, signaling the start of a volcanic/nuclear winter.
WOW!!!!
Must watch.

- First episode was ace, second episode -- mehdrgs
- I will be thinking about this first episode for a long time, it's so meta and so unusual. A work of genius.BuddhaHat
- The first episode blew my mind. I was so impressed. The rest of the series was a bit of a disappointment after that. Apart from the goldigger bit in Ep4.Hayzilla

Really liked the first few episodes of this.
- I hated the first ep, it was trying too hard to be a cross between True Detective and Mindhunter and failing dismally. Taron Eggertons hair is distracting and..Morning_star
- ..the male detective has been miscast, he's not gritty enough. However, i persevered and am quite gripped with the story. The 'muderer' is good, softly spoken..Morning_star
- ...and disarming. Will continue to watch but it has it's issues.Morning_star
- This ended so abruptly. Seemed so messyIanbolton
- I kept with it until the end and it improved a little. Best things about it were the Mogwai sound track and the acting from Paul Walter Hauser....Morning_star
- .....Couldn’t work out why it was called Blackbird?Morning_star

Started watching Happy! the other day. Fucking love it.
Just thought I'd read up on it a bit - hey, it's based on a graphic novel by Grant Morrison, excellent! - and .. oh ffs. Series 3, cancelled.
Brilliant. Thanks, fates. Again.

It's been mentioned a few times but I'm really going to miss Ozark. That last scene was so gratifying. The Detective guy was almost as annoying as Javi.
