I watched the first 3 episodes of The Gifted and... it's okay. It helps that's it's filmed and set in Atlanta, but I haven't been able to recognize many locations yet.

esperterra posted:It's pretty loving funny, though. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is one of those shows I liked at the first, but by time I binged to the start of season 2 it wore me out. I still keep telling myself to go back and finish season 2, but then I remember Josh Chan and I go watch something else. I don't think I will ever make it back.

Yeah the exact same thing happened to me. I'm not sure why. I could watch Rachel Bloom read Trump speeches all day long, but when I see season 2 there on my hard drive and I'm just like ehh.

There was a moment toward the end of season 2 that gave me the sort of closure I was looking for and I bounced after that. I feel very satisfied with this 1 3/4 season show I watched that ended after the a West Covina reprise inside a party bus.

Mu Zeta posted:According to David Milch, Dubya was his fraternity leader at Yale and he was just a fun guy that didn't take himself too seriously. Not malicious or anything. quote:Like, for instance, David Milch was in the same fraternity as George W. Bush, and he recounts a story about during their frat days when a reporter from the Associated Press called George Bush to talk about hazing at the frat. Milch said he answered the phone, pretended to be George Bush, and then said, “Yeah! We beat the pledges, and then we bugger them!” Dinner for Five had some great episodes.

zoux posted:I'm still sore about Luck. Feels like they could have gradually shifted horse racing to the background in season 2 (Or switched to more SFX use, but I'm sure that was proposed and promptly shot down by the ornery EPs,) while exploring other forms of gambling. Ace bringing table games to the track, the railbirds taking their big winnings and getting involved in sports books, etc., but then I guess you'd lose half the cast as a lot of the impetus behind the stuff with Escalante and Rosie and whatever the hell Nick Nolte was doing would be sidelined. Also, Mann and Milch apparently weren't getting along in the first place, so that probably made the decision to drop it completely easier.

Also, HBO gave them a super early renewal and it was getting abysmal ratings. Horse death was a convenient excuse but they could've been running a glue factory over there if they were getting good numbers.

Pretty surprised at how solid American Vandal was. The thing I unexpectedly liked the most was the acting. Everybody just loving nailed the high school caricature they were supposed to be, and then lent it a degree of authenticity. The body language in the final interview with the class president showed this very real IMO.

And it was a fairly good episode, too. Not amazing, still too melodramatic by half, but it's the kind you could build on if you have a sober assessment of what it could do better. This week's episode was trash, though.

Mu Zeta posted:Apparently it's based on a Korean drama show and those are melodramatic as gently caress so expect way more of that. I don't mind melodrama. poo poo, I'm a Riverdale fan, I better not mind melodrama. It just comes off as corny and unpleasant if you're not careful. That particular episode was about a guy waiting on a new liver that Shaun and fellow attending surgeon Claire are in charge of transporting (doctors, nurses, medicine nerds: just go with it). And while they run into various forms of trouble, it's discovered that the patient waiting on the liver tested positive for alcohol: a major no-no if you're on the transport list. Patient admits he only had the one glass of champagne to celebrate his daughter's graduation, because she was the first one in the family to go. The doctors are able to prove, with math, that he's telling the truth, turning the episode into an interesting "letter of the law vs. spirit of the law" discussion while Shaun and Claire fight to save the liver. It's a pretty drat good melodramatic scenario... ...but they just couldn't resist that one extra kick in the dick, so the daughter admits she gave her sick dad the drink and pleads "If you can't get the surgery, that means I killed my father!" And at that point it gets to be just too drat much. If you're an American Dad! fan, the phrase "Oscar Gold" comes to mind, except it doesn't loop around to being funny. It just sucks. But at least it wasn't this week's episode, wherein possible love interest Claire low-key slut-shamed a sick pornstar (to be fair the pornstar was already freaking out about God "judging me," but then Claire said "We all make mistakes!"), Shaun seemed less like an adult than usual, and it took me two whole minutes to remember the episode's A-plot. But, you know, it's only four episodes in, they could still be figuring it out. And even if they're not, I'm apparently determined to ride this train straight to Hell, so DivisionPost fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Oct 18, 2017 |

I'm not going to watch The Good Doctor because it looks stupid, but I'm glad Freddie Highmore is actually in something that people are watching and might get a little recognition from it finally. He spent five years delivering great performance after great performance on Bates Motel and like 20 people ever saw it.

I mean, I'm not saying all of my posts were good because I know they weren't, but yeah, Aatrek was full of terrible decisions. Probating me over making some dumb posts on an internet forum about a TV show I was super excited about doesn't even compare to other poo poo he did, unfortunately.

The good news is that even if you were a legitimately terrible poster who got banned for posting dumb poo poo you are almost certainly a better person than Aatrek. ...he thought TNG was the best Trek.
