In retrospect it's good that late Sealab had to suffer Adam Reed getting...whatever that weird bitterness was out of his system then, so that he could refocus and go do Frisky Dingo and Archer.

finally finished Comrade Detective, and I really hope it gets a second season. Season 1 is great on its own, but I want more.

I also really like that they film in Romania and used Romanian actors and actresses for the entire show. I feel like it's a win for everyone involved.

I can't recommend it enough. If you remotely enjoy police procedurals and are open to criticisms of capitalism, this is the show for you. It also doesn't glorify the soviet union in any unironic sense, so it's not like it's pro Stalinist or anything.


edit: also, finale spoiler: the fact that they can call out Donald Trump and still have it be period appropriate is creepy. They don't actually mention him by name, they just describe his actions as of the 80s.

So Hulu definitely bagged a big fish in their bid of live streaming as they announced a deal with the CW. Which, AFAIK, nobody else has right now. While it hasn't started yet, when it does that definitely puts me a step closer to switching from Vue.

While I can get other stuff over the air for some reason my local CW is too far away for my cheapo antenna.

I think the first line was good enough for me.

"You don't become a good communist by going to meetings, or reading texts."

"You do it on the streets."

"You do it with your fists."

I watched the first half of Arrow last season before I gave up on it, I'll need some convincing evidence that the second half was any better.

How has S2 of Preacher been? I thought S1 started out strong but really waned.

Jan 17, 2005


S2 has:

introduced Herr Starr and the Grail

had the Saint of Killers actually do stuff

and

had a story line following Eugene's adventures in Hell (he's befriended Adolf Hitler.)

The main characters are also together more often and not just off doing their own things all the time like s1.

It's better than the first season but it still have the problem of every entertaining and cool thing being weighed down by characters acting dumb for no reason, Tulip being a wet blanket, and some really terrible juvenile comic book edginess making it into the show when everyone involved should have known better.

Everything was spoiled months ago by someone in production. Supposedly so is next season but the source seems more dubious.

Clearly the show should have actually had 17 billion viewers, those damned dirty pirates! :argh:
