The one about a strange erotic journey from Milan to Minsk sounds ok. https://twitter.com/WyattDuncan/status/1489299272944132100?t=Yorz9DjDAuQjZU7jPqycog&s=19

LionArcher posted:. Of the books at least 4 or 5 of them have ambivalent endings that act as continuing grist for the overall story but has no exciting or memorable ending. The books quickly turn into sprawling collections of hundreds of PoV and trying to say the first book, which was clearly a LoTR knockoff lets get to the bad guy's den where everyone was together getting there (and the TV show had only 2 of them go while the rest of them twiddled their fingers for dumb reason), was the hardest one to adapt is completely confusing to me. At this point the showrunner is putting out a mediocre TV show that might be better served trying it again with a different creative team years down the road.

It's amazing how quickly Netflix has become a service I pay for and don't know why. Is there anything worthwhile on it anymore? Licensed stuff keeps getting removed, good shows have ended, and anything promising gets cancelled after the first or second season.

I know exactly why I still pay for Netflix: because my entire family shares my account and I'd feel bad if I canceled it despite having not watched anything on it in ages.

I am in a similar arrangement myself: my parents pay for Netflix (or rather pay me to pay for Netflix since they don't get along with online payments), my brother pays for HBOMax, I pay for Disney+ and we all share. Probably the best solution to the streaming wars. HBOMax is probably the better service out of all of them, imho.

I will say I'm seriously considering cancelling my prime for a few months when it comes up for renewal to make up for the massive price jump so that Bezos can relocate a historic bridge for his mega-yacht.

I'm not sure which shows you mean, most of what I saw I thought were from other services. My apologies. Still, it's probably the first I'll get rid of before HBOmax, Hulu, etc. The only reason I even had it on over the last two months is because I had to sign in with a new television.

Murderville is Netflix and that’s like all we’ve talked about for the last page lol. Also The Woman in the House But yeah there were a good few months last year where there was like almost nothing I cared about hitting Netflix. Weird time to hike up prices imo

The Afterparty is the murder mystery show with lots of funny people that’s not improvised and is on Apple. Murderville is the murder mystery show with lots of funny people that is improvised and is on Netflix. So yeah, I get it.

Executives seem to forget that the reason Tiger King did so well is because it was the first show to air at the beginning of the pandemic as everyone was going into the initial lockdown and everything else on television was getting postponed or cancelled.

Murderville (NETFLIX) I haven't seen Ken Jeong yet but Kumail Nanjiani was my least favorite so far. Sure Annie Murphy was in over her head/not experienced at improv but I think the way she couldn't stop smiling made her whole episode endearing. Kumail definitely had funnier bits but he seemed like he thought he was Above it and had to be practically begged to actually participate, which is just eh I didn't realize it was based off a British show which makes sense since I kept getting panel show vibes from it.

I’m not really sure where you’re getting that from, Kumail looked like he was enjoying himself to me, and he was engaged enough to pick up on most of the clues.

I can't fathom why you would make that show with that concept then cast people without improv experience.

That's just The Impression I Got from watching his single 30 minute episode, op. He made some funny jokes and participated in the Mystery. But when he was just shrugging off Will Arnett trying to get him to invent a funny walk I couldn't help but think man, Marshawn Lynch jumped straight in to some dumb poo poo both feet first in his episode, and then this is a professional Comedian Not Getting It. I'm also shocked I'm writing this many words to defend a vague impression I came away with from a single episode of an improv show. And yes I realize he very clearly did "get it" by the end etc

I'm confused as to why so many people are saying Annie Murphy can't improvise. I haven't seen the show, but she was amazing on Schitt's Creek and a lot of that was improv.

UK celeb shows make it work all the time, I think it'll take some time maybe to calibrate the little set ups for people, etc but I would be fine with future seasons mixing in more rando celebs

Throw your dog the invisible bone?! I've been singing slow your roll the invisible boy Evil has an episode where a cop shoots a woman and says a demon influenced him to see a gun and shoot. At some point they were all worried about this cop going to jail... absurd. But then when the grand jury let's him off no problem, they are all cynical about it like they called it all along, yeah right. Curious if that plotline ever comes back up besides to know they can't trust cops, but adding demons to the racist gangs and such ain't that much of a difference. edit: Okay, pretend for a moment you are God. You see a monastery down below with a vow of silence, been doing it for 150 years. However, these fuckers are communicating freely using tablets and stylus and other writing tricks. Do you bless these people for their halfass commitment or smite them for trying to pull some poo poo on you? Khanstant fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Feb 4, 2022 |

Yeah there were a few points with Kumali refused to go along with the premise and had to be asked a couple of times, the not naming his girlfriend rather than coming up with something funny etc. which seems very against the basic spirit of improv, but I think he just didn't get how to act fully, the episode was still pretty funny.

Watched the first two episodes of Reacher on Prime. It's okay I guess- the dialogue is kinda stilted but I'm not expecting high art. I've never read any of the books but I know the lead is a hell of a lot more closer to the character than Tom Cruise was. The violence is cool and good. The dude playing the detective is doing his best worst Cuba Gooding Jr channeling, though. Not a fan of him so far.
