I'm on the fence so far with regards to The Gifted, but Inhumans is laughably bad. The writing, acting and CGI is just heinous.

Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are working together again... as hosts of a reality competition show?

http://www.refinery29.com/2017/10/177054/amy-poehler-nick-offerman-making-it-competition-series

quote:

The show will function like most creative competition series. Think Project Runway or Iron Chef. Each week will feature two challenges. One will be a short timed challenge that will force contestants to think on their feet. The second will be what's called a "master craft collection." Contestants will work on a "themed" challenge that focuses on trends. Together, their projects will form a themed craft collection. Doonan and Johnson will be present every episode and will determine the winners of the challenges.
Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman will serve as the Tim Gunn types of the show, shepherding the contestants through the challenges and (hopefully) cracking jokes all the while.

I'm sure Nick will craft a bunch of tables and boats and chairs

another thing about last night's Mr Robot, the needle drops were on fire, the whole opening is set to INXS's "New Sensation" and there's an absolutely amazing use of the Barenaked Ladies' "One Week"

Neither of those were as good as the use of Listen To Your Heart

That reminds me, I think I had some kind of fever dream earlier this year about a sitcom that was set in the DC universe. It was about a newspaper or something, starred Alan Tudyk, and was terribly unfunny.

You mean the crappy sitcom with Danny Pudi that started life as 'The-Office-but-superhero-Insurance' then turned into a dumb "wow-crazy-zany-superhero-effects-protection-inventors" or whatever? or is there something else?

Like I like the concept of focusing on just rando normal people in a super hero world, but I'd much rather see a disaster movie where the disaster is just the Avengers doing their thing.

I quite enjoyed the finale of H&CF, but it was a bit depressing that they literally never managed to be properly successful. I was hoping that at the end they'd skip to a middle-aged Haley in the 2020s giving a Steve Jobs-esque presentation of revolutionary augmented reality glasses or something.

That reminds me, Amy Sedaris' craft show is premiering this upcoming Tuesday. I'm interested because what they've shown of it makes it look to craft shows what Pee Wee's Playhouse was to kids shows.

Powerless, the Danny Pudi show, was supposed to be pretty decent before it got completely reworked into what was eventually aired. A shame, it had potential.

I gave up on it pretty much immediately, because they did a [FREEZE FRAME] "Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this" in the first minute of the pilot.

A few weeks later I caught a glimpse Natalie Morales with green hair in a cold open, which almost made me give it a second shot. Almost.

The best comedy superhero show was Powers, tryhard swearing in every line of dialogue combined with the production values you would expect from a show that was exclusive to a video game console. Michael Madsen's muscle suit in season 2 :kiss:

How much did you watch and to what degree did you like it? The show has certainly improved, but nothing drastic. If you fundamentally hated it, nothing will change that opinion. The whole "we are going to put a team in Vegas" storyline is completely ridiculous.

-They did a pretty interesting CTE storyline with one character
-They made the Rob Corddry character a lot more likeable who is now a pretty genuinely good guy
-They expanded the visibility of some good characters like Vernons stoner mate and "manager" (and they made the manager character less one dimensional)

Watching some episodes of Slasher from Netflix and it's been kind of interesting though everyone in season 2 at the beginning are unsympathetic and I am kind of hoping all the main characters die.

Has anyone seen this? As a whole, is it a good series?

The first season was Garbage with a capital G. Can't speak for the second.
