I'm halfway through Jessica Jones and I'm not really feeling it so far. There's a lot of good stuff here, but the dialogue is so weak and none of the actors (except Tennant) are really being given much to work with. I'm also losing a lot of patience with the plot; the whole Kilgrave storyline feels stretched as it is and I can't even imagine how they could extend it for six more episodes. Is there a good payoff for all of this or is it all downhill from here?

Not much of a payoff. I watched all the episodes and I don't remember anything about it. They definitely stretched it out, it would have been an awesome 4-part series. Daredevil too.

Yeah, the latter half just has everybody acting stupider in the name of keeping the show going and then the end is an wet fart that doesn't really resolve anything. And Tennant goes to poo poo too because they overexplain and overexpose his character so he loses all his menace even as he's supposed to be getting more powerful.

I heard good reviews about both Mozart in the Jungle and The Man in the High Castle. I watched the latter's pilot on amazon, but I have no time to watch either right now (though I'm putting one on hold for later). They both have the same exact review score. Which would you guys recommend?

The show really should've been 10 episodes or maybe even less. There is a lot of padding.

Sober posted:That's kind of the point though. Just because it's intentional doesn't make it not lovely. Same with the fight scenes, there are ways to make fights with inexperienced people exciting and interesting instead of just having the character break some prop furniture while having a temper tantrum.

The reviewers were right about the X-Files premiere, it's Chris Carter at his most Chris Carter-y and honestly could probably be skipped. Also Duchovny forgot how to act like Mulder while on the flip side Anderson's portrayal of Scully continues to be monotone and still only has two facial expressions, skeptical and extremely skeptical. Which I guess is classic Scully but I was hoping they'd change it up just a little bit. Hopefully the reviewers were also right about the MOTW episodes being decent.

I started The 100 and am up to like episode 8 now and it's... fine? It definitely improved VERY quickly, but I'm not quite getting the fervor for it. It's good, it's solid, but nothing I'd wanna rush out and recommend to people, it's the same level of something like a Nikita. Maybe it's just because I'm watching it alongside The Expanse which is so much more impressive in terms of direction and writing and casting by comparison, but it doesn't strike me as worth getting all that passionate about. Does it improve even more by season 2?

I mean one of those posts is clearly more serious and more Actually My Opinion than the other I know it's sorta patronising but honestly it's the only way I can make sense of it in my head. I'm extremely poor at seeing things from other points of view and it genuinely makes absolutely no sense to me that people prefer Marvel shows and whatever to something I would view as more artistically 'legitimate'. I'm not proud of that, and I'd love to be able to understand other points of view, but for now it is what it is, so I just try not to actively insult anyone for thinking differently.

They both felt exactly like their characters to me, it was the rest of the show around them that was the problem. When Mulder and Jeff Winger kept monologuing to a montage of images it felt like I was watching one of those Dinesh D'Souza documentaries about how Obama is going to turn America into Nazi Germany.
