So Netflix is already doing the HBO thing of spliting the last season before they even have a genuine great show?

So many people die in Season 3 yet it never really seems to have any weight and was just written off as “oh the mall blew up!” To the wider world I was thinking the other day that so many movies and tv shows have massacres in them that would top pretty much any tragedy in modern times and it would just damage the perception of safety forever and have real consequences. Like what would the cops do after the events of terminator 1? They’d go absolutely nuts and it would be terrifying. Moreso than what they’re like now, even.

PostNouveau posted:Generic White Kid Who Disappeared in the Good Season But Now He's Actually Around and in the Show and He Sucks at Acting, he's like the missing guy from The Hangover. the whole premise is based on the idea that the main guys are his best friends, but he never has to interact with them, and you do a whole movie/season where we get to see the main guys being friends and having an adventure, and then they rescue him, and now you're hosed. it's pretty much a no-win situation in terms of creative direction. you didn't hire this guy to not be missing

John Wick 2 would be an international incident with the amount of people he kills. There are like 50 loving people dead at a nightclub and in the sewers nearby. The city would be locked down like a warzone.

John Wick is a fantasy series though. I don’t mean that in a facetious way

Nothing would happen, besides those left alive trying their hardest to "go back to normal" Don't Look Up pretty much nailed what would happen

They'd devolve into some kind of paramilitary organization and ohhhh poo poo it already did happen didn't it.

I started watching tokyo vice, I didn't finish it yet so maybe it comes back but I liked it when the entire show has been people (realistically for japan) freaking out over single murders and suicides, then there's a ninja attack where what like 10 people die and it's never really addressed

So I finish Severance S1. It's essentially the Total Recall premise they dragged it out in 9 hours but I am not seeing many clever twist they add to the premise. Even the ending twist is very Total Recall. I enjoy the binge with last few episodes and its a meh. There are a couple mysteries I want them answer but S1 never touched on them, 1 what they are doing in the office job. I have a hunch the writers don't know either, what they have in there is a placeholder and they will come up with something in later seasons. This is where the show reminds me of Lost and I am satisfied stopping at s1. Another mystery is the 2 middle management weirdos. I am afraid the show will just explain them away them being cultists. Also I get annoyed by the insane amount of managerial overhead of this system. This is so stupid and so much lower efficiency than just hiring some Indians with EB1 visa. Whoever wrote this has not worked in a office. This show is made by Ben Stiller right?

There's no more "well, let's see where they're going with this" because every single time where they're going is "up their own rear end". If you get Lost vibes, rest assured the writers are completely full of poo poo.

Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying tokyo vice just for the vibes but you can really tell what came from the book (working at a japanese company loving sucks) and what they added to check the boxes (gang war with ninja attacks)

It happened in America so all that would happen is: Republican politicians would tweet out thoughts and prayers while getting plowed by rent boys. Walmart would jack up ammo prices to take advantage of panic buying Another idiot loser would figure out that this was his only way of getting famous and prepare to renew the cycle.

I enjoyed Severance, but the season ended in such a way that I'm not sure a S2 will be very satisfying. As you said, there are a few mysteries left to poke at, but it's hard to see how you maintain the feel of the show--which I assume is what most people enjoyed--after the events of the last episode. priznat posted:Honestly my favourite parts of the show was when they were hanging out at little restaurants drinking beer and having snacks, it looked delicious. Izakayas kick rear end and imo their presence in the San Francisco area is one of the few things that makes living here bearable.
