Badlands, Texas Audience Reviews

ada the leading man is my tpye
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
kateward1 As previously mentioned, lots of the same stuff is repeated over and over and over again, some of the 'characters' are quite annoying and very anecdotal. The first episode is the characters droning on about how hard life is living there, who cares!!!! They chose to live there. This needs to be condensed into fewer episodes. What was also a little confusing is there's footage of the victim being interviewed along with all the other characters but it isn't made clear initially that he is the victim. On a positive note, the scenery is spectacular and the story is quite interesting.
derek_tgc The producers of this went down to Terlingua after hearing about the brutal murder and picked out a half dozen characters in the town to build the story around What transpires is a disjointed tedious concoction of drunken ramblings of eccentric people. Repetition of the same video footage, cheesy high altitude drone shots, and wildlife clips, combined with irrelevant moments of the everyday lives of the characters who live there, resulted in dragging out this pathetic story outover eight episodes. At times, this documentary seemed like it was nothing more than an audio/video class project for a bunch of high school kids. Rhonda, the cougar character is so wasted in some of the footage, she makes Charlie Sheen's coke infused rants now seem genius.....
nils-96397 This is way too repetitive. Basically you can watch the first two and last episode and know what it was all about. Stills are repeating itself way to often. Some scenes are used up to 10 times just to make a point. Sometimes the story line of the interviews doesn't make a sense. Still I admit that there are very interesting characters shown, but the big aha effect about them is missing as well. Nice Texan scenery. One for the Alzheimer's section.
kikajenkins How many times can peoplesay the same things over and over?Watch and find out or don't. You won't be missing anything. The only good thing about the show was the story and the music. The story could've been shared in 2 episodes. It seemed like the same 3 characters said the same things repetitively. Terilingua was a close community and everyone liked Glen. Yes, I get it👏🏻. It would've been a better dateline show. Leave it like that next time unless you have more to the story! The music always pulled me back in. That's all I can say about the show but I can't stop typing because the site says I have to write 10 lines to publish this review. I guess I'll just repeat myself like the show. This show was boring and repetitive. Boring and repetitive. Am I done?
