Joe Pickett is pretty good. I didn't recognize the main actor as Gordo Stevens from For All Mankind.

Haptical Sales Slut posted:Titus whatever his name left his impression on me in Deadwood, so I’ve been binging Bosch. It’s the first season and it’s already hilarious how much action revolves around this one dept, but that’s unavoidable in this type of show. Yeah but it's Hollywood division, poo poo goes on in Hollywood. Also it's based in a crime book series, so of course his ex wife is an ex expert profiler. The later seasons are better, but he's just a murder police who can't let poo poo go.

Rappaport posted:Isn't that the point of the character? Harry just will not let go, and that drives a lot of plot-lines. And the show makes a good case for why that is, too. Yeah, he say poo poo like "They all matter" or "If this doesn't matter, none of them matter". His mind is so one tracked he doesn't even have any vices besides Jazz and finding murderers.

It's about the only way you can do Poe and it not be a loving snorefest from all the gothicness. I prefer the stories of the other series, but i loved this one for making Poe watchable and entertaining.

Farten Barfen posted:Orphan Black: Echoes was pretty fun. As somebody that’s already a fan of Krysten Ritter and Keeley Hawes I loved the heck out of it. I never finished the original show so I can’t really compare the two, but I’ll certainly be going back to re-watch it in its entirety now. No one has had a single well thought out plan in this show, everyone is just reacting to a reaction

nwin posted:I just started Bosch…finishing up season 1. I wouldn't go as far is saying they are plot twists. They are just solving cases, some more convoluted than others. Remember this is a book series so there is a respectable amount of meandering and character stuff. Season 1 is the weakest, but it also sets up Bosch pretty well.

Monstaland posted:I would say the first season of the new Bosch is the weakest. The acting and dialogues suddenly appear very self explainatory, stuff being said and done only for the viewer to make sure we get his motivation, for me that was a bummer Yeah i guess, but season 1 has some really good stuff in it too. I can only guess there were some teething/to many cooks in the kitchen at some point. e: season 1 is based on 3 books, out of order as well.

Open Source Idiom posted:Nah, it absolutely is. I've seen some people take it back, but in my experience it's a way of describing people who express a certain kind of affect, usually used to dismiss people as declasse. There's a whole accent people do, it's super hosed up and gross. I'm surrounded by millionaire bogans, unemployed bogans, self empolyed bogans and immigrant bogans. Some areas it's only economic and some areas it's purely a regional thing.

Killer robot posted:Yeah, I've always seen it used specifically for working class people who show any pride/flashiness/etc rather than being stereotypical "poor and humble" folk. Particularly when they take on (cheap and therefore affordable) styles that are outside of straightlaced norms or expensive artsy. And yes, it can be applied to people who aren't poor themselves but affect that style rather than knowing their own higher place. Except for the Russian hookers, the entire population of Mackay are bogans.

The Finn posted:Based on a discussion in the MCU thread I revisited Legion and tried to finish season 3, which I never even attempted after what I found to be a lovely season 2. So I gave it a shot, and yep...I didn't like it. Season 1 is so good and the rest of it never even approaches it. I'm curious to see if he ever turns up again in any MCU stuff The only reason to watch Legion is because of Aubrey Plaza

Miller needs to earn your love as a character more than almost anyone else. He's as old school as the show could possibly have a character and them not be a time traveller, and he's a massive prick to everyone.
