DivisionPost posted:Yeah so you're definitely going to have to get on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, like, ASAP. When your main character is an aspiring stand-up in 1958 and you put her in the back of a cop car with Lenny Motherfucking Bruce after her climactic performance, you are putting your massive loving balls right on the table for anyone to smash. Luckily for ASP, she can write her rear end off, and Rachel Brosnahan, perhaps like Sutton Foster and Lauren Graham before her, can act the gently caress out of it. Hmm. I wasn't buying anything you were selling until you mentioned Rachel Brosnahan, who was quite fantastic on Manhattan.

So the MTV Scream reboot is getting, yet again, another reboot.

So I started watching Frasier. I've never seen it before, had no idea what it was about. I've only seen bits of Cheers. My roommate just watched Cheers and said she was gonna watch Frasier next and I said "I want to try that!". It's pretty good. Yeah, it's super 90s, but it's got a great economy of storytelling that I'm not accustomed to. Like, it's not amazing, or anything, but it doesn't gently caress around and waste my time. It doesn't feel like there's any filler. Kelsey Grammer needs different hair though. It's like an ultra-mullet: Bald in the front, party in the back.

I am three episodes through Iron Fist and am not sure what the big deal is. Its got a similar pacing and style to Jessica Jones, which is to say a tad slow, but not distractedly so.

We should hold a daily raffle on what random rear end show Snak starts watching next and how long it'll take him to get through it.

muscles like this! posted:I'm kind of hoping Review really ramps things up in the next episode because while the first one was good it was kind of a normal episode. Which seems kind of a waste when they only have the three. When was it announced that it was only gonna be three episodes? Because I got all loving excited yesterday when I realized it was back on and then today I found out that I was already a third of the way through the season.

As far as I'm concerned, that's canon. I can't think of a more fitting way for Mulder to go out. Edit: also he was probably jerking it to X-Files porn. Somehow.

Iron Fist, ep2: what the gently caress is this psych ward plot? Like what the gently caress? I have only read a smattering of Iron Fist comics, but what? Stalling. It's stalling.

I still don't get why Netflix produced the overall solid but definitely flawed first season of Daredevil and then went 'Yup, nothing to be improved here, lets do every show exactly like this'. It's just so... Lazy. Somehow it's also getting worse with every new show, the 13-episode format in particular is really starting to bug me.

I couldn't even watch DD s2. It was so boring. It threw out everything I liked about s1. JJ was really good. It did all the thing that DD fauked horribly st. I watched the first 3 eps of Luke Cage, and I thought it was pretty good, but I never had any drive to continue with it. Edit: ^ yeah, it feels like they are literally just coasting. Which is the Disney and Marvel way.

Luke Cage is fine right up until the point where Cottonmouth dies, then it nosedives straight into stupidity and mediocrity. JJ was really good but it just didn't have a plot long enough to be paced over 13 episodes.

I'm not saying I won't find out what the hate is about, but I'm pretty much digging Iron Fist after the second episode. It's not the show I would have made. Not by a long shot. Edit: the intro theme has this one part that really wishes it was Daft Punk's "Fall" from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack. It is not. Snak fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Mar 18, 2017 |

The Mick is a really weird show. It feels like they made a few episodes then hired all new worse writers and showrunner. It just has a whole other vibe. I wanted to quit watching but my wife likes it now, she hated the first two or three episodes.

I'm alright with this. It should've never received another season anyway (Though they did pull out some gnarly deaths for Season 2) because it ends up like REVENGE, where you got a story for one really good season but have to keep piling twist upon twist. I do however like how they turned what was an actor's poor performance into a later twist, so it has that going for them. You would think that if one show was made for the anthology treatment it would be that.

Like, it's not amazing, or anything, but it doesn't gently caress around and waste my time. It doesn't feel like there's any filler. The first half-season of Frasier is pretty rough because they're still finding the characterization of Niles, Daphne and Martin to an extent, but it soon hits a groove ("Death Becomes Him" is the first classic episode I can think of off the top of my head) and never really lets up, especially when they had the idea of letting Martin and Roz play off each other as mocking the poo poo out of the brothers. There's a dip in season 8 and 9 in which the show just gets a little too serious for its own good (due to an event I really don't want to spoil), but the tenth and especially eleventh seasons get back to the quality of the earlier years. Frasier's also notable for having one of the strongest recurring guest casts in television history. Also, Grammer gets a haircut at the start of the third season. Edit: As a side note, Frasier is also notable for some truly disgusting pay disparity among the cast members. For the final five or six seasons, Grammer was pulling down between $1 million and $1.25 million per episode. David Hyde Pierce and John Mahoney were making something like $900,000 per episode. Jane Leeves and Peri Gilpin were making in the $40,000 / episode range until the final two seasons. Timby fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Besides the whole, "Who killed Kieran that they never answered, I feel, stays true to the source material in that it's never completely over. Plus, everyone got to move on, no last minute hokey deaths.

Halfway through Iron Fist and it's... ok? I guess? Colleen Wing is fantabulous and the storyline is starting to get fun but the action is for the most part bland, there's way too much focus on corporate manoeuvrings and Finn Jones is nowhere near the level of Cox, Ritter or Colter. Also the opening credits sequence is awful.

less laughter posted:The network has aired it out of order. That makes sense. No 6th episode? They really hosed over the show. It could have been worth watching. The first episode set the bar high and unfortunately the series didn't live up to it's potential but I'm a sucker for Scream and will watch it anyway. In other news, I watched the first 2 episodes of Time After Time and it was really cheesy and dumb but some part of me enjoyed it. Probably the part that wants to punish itself from some past misdeed. Looking at the season preview, it looks like the plot will be exactly the same as Timeless -- chasing a villain through history while occasionally teaming up to combat a greater conspiracy.

Oh lord, I can barely handle the Timeless we already have, and that's mostly just to see if their incredibly reckless time changes ever catch up to them and they come back to an America run by like a modern French-Iroquois alliance still controlled by Rittenhouse.

JJ was really good but it just didn't have a plot long enough to be paced over 13 episodes. I just found it to be bland and boring. I think it had a lot to do with the protagonist's superpower of "can not be physically injured or hurt by anything" just not being all that interesting to me to begin with, especially in the grittier, toned down Netflix Marvel. They really didn't do anything unique enough with the way the power worked, or the action scenes in general, and Luke Cage himself came off as too much of a bland, understated character to do anything to get me invested in the show. Was just too much of a chore to get through episodes while caring so little about anything on screen, which is a shame as I was really looking forward to a black superhero show with a unique take on the genre
