DivisionPost posted:Here's that trailer in case you guys haven't seen it: This will probably be like, right in the middle of the Trek series quality scale. Also Cassidy Yates (Penny Johnson Jerald) is in it, and she was in the best Trek, so... edit: also, I saw that there is a trailer out for Ghosted, that Craig Robinson, Adam Scott paranormal cops thing, and uh... hmm. They are both great and their chemistry is probably gonna be great, but it does not look great. Let's hope it finds its footing.

This season of Fargo is really not very good, and that sucks because I loved the first two.

skasion posted:The point of divergence in the timelines is earlier than when this show is set, though. Earlier in development it was claimed that this was set in the original timeline and not the new-movie timeline, but it basically looks exactly like the new movies. So in my estimation the answer is that they don't care what "canon" anything is and will play fast and loose. This is almost right, but not for lack of trying on CBS's part. The official line is that it's a prequel of the TV shows because they only have the IP rights to the original continuity, but it's clearly got Abramsverse fingerprints all over it. CBS cares exactly as much as necessary to avoid a lawsuit from Paramount while hoovering all the sweet 18-35 male demographic numbers they can away from the movies to their geriatric network.

The deal with Netflix in foreign markets bankrolled the whole thing. CBS president was very clear that Netflix made it profitable before actor one was put in front of a camera.

Well streaming is not really conventional TV so I'm assuming it's a different situation. Foreign success does matter though to some degree e.g. blindspot was renewed this season despite terrible ratings in part due to foreign sales

Not far off. A dog narrates it's life, complete with bad 'move the mouth awkwardly in sync' stuff that never looks particularly good when they're trying to do it in a realistic fashion. It's not good at all, nothing about it works. Anyone catch what the Sundance laurel they use on the commercial for it is actually about?

How long does it take to get into Sense8? Also, I always feel like I can't keep up with Netflix's original content, including their seemingly endless amount of murder mysteries. Can I get goon reviews on what's worth checking out from the following: The Crown Medici The Fall Travelers Easy iBoy Borgia 3% Beasts of No Nation Marcella Fauda Bordertown Rebirth Paranoid Hotel Beau Sejour River Estocolmo The Break Case No Second Chance A Very Secret Service Southcliffe

Travelers is pretty good if you enjoy shows such as 12 Monkeys and Continuum. I enjoyed 3%. Both were renewed. That's all I got. Sens8 owns though.

If you aren't feeling Sense8 by like 4-5 eps, it's probably not for you. It does continue to improve, and more of a central plot emerges, but it doesn't really change format or anything. But Sense8 rules.

A Very Secret Service is my favourite from that list, similar theme to Patriot, a little drier maybe but still very funny. Travelers is pretty cool sci fi with an interesting premise. The Crown is good and worth watching if you're at all into historical dramas. iBoy was fine but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're out of other stuff to watch.

Beasts of No Nation is a movie so you can knock it out pretty quick. Speaking of, if anyone hasn't seen The White Helmets you need to.

Rise from Jason Katims on NBC could be good. Don't know anything about it but it's set in a poor high school and we know Katims can do that well (Friday Night Lights).

It's not good at all, nothing about it works. Anyone catch what the Sundance laurel they use on the commercial for it is actually about? Oh my god what a weird loving show. They made the dog a creepy jilted spouse that wants to dominate his owner, with definite sexual subtext thrown in which is supposed to be, I don't know, funny? And then the main plot that takes place outside the dog's narration is completely different run of the mill sitcom fare. The tonal shifts in that show gave me whiplash and they seem to have intentionally made their cute little dog in a sitcom an unlikable creepy rear end in a top hat. How did this make it past pilot? How did multiple people see this and think it was a good idea? I get anthropomorphizing a dog with separation anxiety for laughs but the direction they took it is just so bizarre and off-putting I can't tell what the intended reaction was. I fully recommend watching the pilot to this terrible show because this is a really unique kind of bad.

Travelers is very good and agreed on Sense8, if you aren't liking it after four or five eps. It's probably not for you. The second season has much better pacing than the first though.

Catching up on the second half of season 4 of The Fosters. Freeform shows are kind of my guilty pleasure. But goddamn the drama in this particular show is off the charts. On an almost bi-episode basis the the Foster family faces one monumental crisis after another, any one of which would tear apart a normal family, and yet this family deals with them on a nearly daily basis. Not even soap opera's get this dramatic. At any particular moment the family is dealing with school shooters, pregnancy scares, drug addictions across multiple characters, accidental felonies, murderers stalking the kids, police brutality, financial destruction, pedophiles, bio-parents of the foster kids showing up out of nowhere, deaths in the family, multiple near-death scenario's for members of the family, rape, incest, adultery, and occasional racism. And those are just the major plot points, not even considering the minor sub-plots interwoven throughout each season. It's like this show is an experiment by the writers to see just how much drama can be crammed into one show before it spontaneously collapses into a black hole from the sheer weight of it all.
