Regardless of other shows quality, Cleveland was still crap.

Wheat Loaf posted:What can anyone tell me about Murder One? It's about 20 years old but the descriptions of it I've found talking about how it was ultra-serialised and ended up needing these really long "previously on" segments so people could follow it makes it sound like it might have been a bit ahead of its time in that regard. It's totally legit and was way ahead of its time. There was a second season where the format went more traditional but the first season still holds up to this day. I remember people being glued to it at the time.

Why would you wax nostalgic about terrible poo poo shows that are maybe not as bad as other terrible poo poo shows when there has never been as much good television available as there is now

Wow, Sense8 is so unrealistic. In the first episode, a black child pulls a gun on a white cop and the white cop just stares at him

AD started off rocky as well, but no where near as bad as border town.

The show is pretty and unsubtle in most of its messages, but the police poo poo is beyond hamfisted.

Seth Macfarlane hasn't had an active hand in Fox's shows for ages; he simply uses his clout at Fox to get his friends' shows produced by attaching his name as a producer (just like how the Cosmos reboot happened because Seth pushed to get it made). Bordertown is Mark Hentemann's show (and has the same eye-searingly ugly art style as his previous show, 3 South).

Whoever said it was like Veronica Mars but with 45 year old deadbeat as the lead was spot-on. But in a good way.

Got time to watch the pilot of BBCs War and peace. Holy crap that was great. I'm going to write up an OP for a thread, even if I haven't read the book, people should watch this miniseries, the production values, man, I wish game of thrones could do half as good for their once-a-season battles.

Shannara Chronicles is Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, responsible for Smallville and Into the Badlands. Just FYI.

Sleeveless posted:Yes, this is why it's surprising to see them down to 20. I really enjoyed Season 10, but the pacing did seem different compared to earlier seasons. It feels like they cut material from the cold opens. For me, it's most noticeable in "The Gang Group Dates" and "Psycho Pete Returns", both openings feel incredibly short compared to earlier episodes.

His Spanish Civil War horror movie and Pan's Labyrinth, another Spanish Civil War horror movie were his best. Then it all went downhill.

I think that he should just stick to art direction and creature design. I don't think his strength is in story-telling.
