Nihonniboku posted:Yeah, I'm about 3 episodes in, and that seems to be the direction its moving in. Not a lot of answers, just more and more mysteries added on each episode. And for some reason it bills itself as a comedy, even though it's nothing of the sort. Nihonniboku posted:I just finished episode 4, and honestly, what you've written is deceptive and misleading. There are still no answers, and just additional layers of mysteries. Maybe they get there eventually, but the idea they are looking to move the plot forward rather than just milking every premise for as long as long as they can is a flat out lie. Nihonniboku posted:Jesus loving christ, Severance is a piling trash heap of poo poo. For everyone who has seen people in this thread talk about how amazing it is because it provides answers, it's all lies. In 8 episodes, absolutely jack poo poo happens. No answers are provided. It's just mysteries built upon mysteries. Strange poo poo happens just to happen. Just as I thought we were about to see something happen in the final episode, it ends. gently caress Ben Stiller and gently caress this show. I watched 8 episodes on the promise that poo poo would happen and that it would get good. It never did. who's forcing you to hate watch this show my dude? because we get it that it's not your cup of tea already

Have you thought about maybe changing the way you watch things instead of throwing a baby rage tantrum after you hate watch every single episode of a show you hate? Stop trying to "win" the show and pay attention to why things might be happening thematically instead of crying about "poo poo happening to happen."

severance is good actually there is this kind of sheen to the Apple TV shows that seems a little off. like they're trying to jump straight into prestige HBO style tv but don't quite have it. also theres some apple sponsored corpo show that rubs me the wrong way, might be marring my opinion of the other shows I think there is this kind of unseen overarching 'voice' or whatever that streaming platforms have. like Netflix will just allow any garbage through, HBO max is ok but kinda goofy stuff layered on their prestige legacies, Prime TV jumped straight into producing killer dramas with no spin up time (how?), Hulu has good originals that aren't too serious, Disney is Disney take it or leave it but you know what you're getting. The Apple TV lineup is still a little incoherent to me A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Too Old to Die Young is basically a 30 hour music video about Nicolas Winding Refns unending horniness for absurd violence. Edit: this description makes it sound better than it actually is

Patriot and Goliath were definitely good, but those first came out 7 & 6 years ago respectively. I liked season 3 of Goliath, but it felt like it was reaching for something that it didn't quite get to so I've not yet checked out season 4. I think I bounced off Fortitude back when it first came out. I'll check out the others though. I look at Prime every few weeks, scroll for a bit and then go to another platform. It's just kinda there. I haven't even heard much, if anything, about those other shows. edit: 'Too Old to Die Young' is a good example... I like Refn and I remember getting excited for this show when it was first announced, then I promptly forgot about it until just now reading the post above.

TychoCelchuuu posted:I haven't seen all of these, but many people vouch for Patriot, The Underground Railroad, Mozart in the Jungle, Too Old To Die Young, Homecoming, and Undone. Too Old to Die Young is wretched, afaict. Not even familiar with those others. Sneaky Pete was good. Goliath rules. Man in the High Castle is a show. Utopia was an unnecessary remake of a good show. Everyone talked about The Boys. Reload is okay. And LotRs is coming up and probably going to suck but is at least a notable future project.

Class Warcraft posted:Too Old to Die Young is basically a 30 hour music video about Nicolas Winding Refns unending horniness for absurd violence. I guess I'd just say, watch Only God Forgives and/or The Neon Demon and you will get a pretty good sense of whether his poo poo works for you, and Too Old to Die Young is a very long and weird experience that is very much in line with how his movies work. I think Miles Teller is really well cast in it, because he is extremely off-putting and unlikeable and it actually takes advantage of that

Also, it's not a drama, but The Tick is really excellent. Probably the best "funny superhero" thing around.

Patriot is the best TV show of all time Homecoming S1 is very good, S2 is just kind of meh Goliath is pretty fun Red Oaks doesn't get talked about much but it's extremely solid, it's pretty much like an 80s John Hughes sort of vibe

That’s because Drive is his most mainstream movie, it’s the one with the most traditional plot structure. He only wanted to do it one time, that’s why he made Only God Forgives next with Gosling.

I watched the first episode of Patriot and really disliked it. The impression I got is that it is to the CIA as Brooklyn 99 is to cops, it felt way too humanising and sympathetic. Did I get the wrong end of the stick? Does it wind up making GBS threads relentlessly on sad spook, spook paterfamilias, and congressman brother?

Realized I was thinking “Patriot” was a revolutionary war show due to mixing up “The Patriot” with “Turn”.

Finished the Bubble in four sittings and I'm pretty sure it's one of the worst movies I have ever watched. The last time I remember watching a movie that bad was one of the Grown ups movies about a decade ago.
