Dirk Gently is what you get when you mix Sherlock, Dr. Who, and Heroes season 1, then crank it up to eleven. A "proper" Douglas Adams adaptation is nigh impossible to pull off, so this show did spectacularly well at doing it's own thing. Can't wait for the second season.

That combination of shows sounds like it would be playing on repeat in hell, but it sounds interesting enough to check out.

Amy Schumer's HBO special was pretty allright so I watched the Netflix one today and holy gently caress it is bad. I'm not sure what happened there, but that was almost Larry the Cable guy levels of stupid and I couldn't even finish it.

Plus it's kind of a big thing with Adams that all versions of the same story or title end up being substantially different from one another. That's kind of a big part of his storytelling legacy.

Detective No. 27 posted:I need to finish 30 Rock. The recurring joke about Kenneth is super subtle. It gets less subtle as the series goes on, but it's still pretty good, especially when they rope in Bryan Cranston as his stepfather.

Here's a question that probably gets asked a lot; is there a streaming service that lets me watch movies with people online? Like, joining a party with them and it's synchronized so it plays for everyone at the same time etc. I found a Chrome plugin called Showgoers that seems to do this but not sure how well it works. It's baffling they don't offer this stuff natively for Netflix and stuff.

The first season even dragged at a few points late in the game, i couldn't believe it was the same people who wrote the "we can't let them find my husband's bones" bit

So for people who burned out on the whole zombie thing like 5 years ago, Train to Busan really brings something new to the table? It feels fresh?

I haven't read the Dirk Gently books and gotta say that it also felt so Douglas Adams (and well, brilliant) how the last episode sets up for the next season with a villain that is a hyperbolic example of the absurdity of bureaucracy.

drunken officeparty posted:I also don't know why Judah Freidlander gets put in the opening credits but is a side character who probably has less lines than the black nerd writer and he isn't in them. The writers room in general always felt underutilized on that show. Too many strong characters in the center I guess.

That episode was especially weird because the finale had this whole running thing about how awful it is that we still have a pro sports team called the Redskins--and it's like, you just spent an hour yelling at your audience about how it's ok when you do it I mostly agree with you though--season 2 was mostly great and I'm onboard for more

Yeah. I never used it much back then but I probably would now. Seems like it should be available everywhere now. Netflix has cut other cool features before too like their little movie recommendation game, which was really bad at picking movies but I wish they had just improved it instead of ditching it.
