不喜歡新ATO,整個(gè)劇依然還是超好笑的。。。這結(jié)尾是什麼回事?。???
Nick不在,還看啥啊?
主角都斷腿領(lǐng)便當(dāng)了,不負(fù)我帝國墳場之威名啊
這是一部神奇的劇,里面的人個(gè)個(gè)都討喜.而且換了二主角竟然沒有爛尾.想念nick,不知道有沒有第四季.Now off you fuck.
好愛新BOSS 牛逼哄哄的軟妹小天使么么噠~
Nick走了之后質(zhì)量的確下降,但實(shí)在是對每個(gè)人都是真愛感了。最后還挺傷感。最終最喜歡的角色是上校,太有愛。
兩周之內(nèi)把三季都看了,喜劇真心英國拍的好!可惜結(jié)局很倉促,simon的旅行不知道會是如何呢?
就這樣完結(jié)了?陪伴了我三年之久的 Bluestone 42,最后竟然就是這樣的結(jié)局,想想也是非常令人唏噓,質(zhì)量確實(shí)是有所下降,但是值得好評
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Nick和Mary都走了我還看什么啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
爛尾爛得不太嚴(yán)重
殺千刀的BBC 竟然不續(xù)訂了!
以為沒有nick和mary會不想看,結(jié)果還是順利看下去了。。。
brilliant!
神補(bǔ)刀,希望有第四季
第一集boss被砸傻了,還是意外。第二集,被嚇尿的士兵引爆了炸彈,一米九被炸成了一米七,仍然是意外。boss很冤了。后面新來的boss不夠賤完全接不住笑點(diǎn)……
最后一集是怎么回事?。。。
這什么鬼結(jié)局啊QAQ這么催淚……
走了一堆人,季終(劇終?)結(jié)尾也不知道是什么鬼,而且傻逼逼福利還這么少。。
還我班長
