Nihonniboku posted:Season 1 was good, and a fun twist on the whole true crime podcast craze. Selena Gomez was definitely weakest part of the show, but it's kind of hard to stand out when you're in a cast of Steve Martin, Martin Short, Nathan Lane, and Amy Ryan. I was surprised when I saw a couple of articles talking about how she was snubbed by the Emmy nominations this year, left my head scratching, until I saw a couple more articles about how now publicists are doing this thing where they are paying money to publications to mention their clients as being snubbed for major awards when they were never in the running and weren't being put up for nominations by their studios or networks in the first place. I had literally just seen one of these articles this morning and was baffled on how she could ever be considered for any sort of award; she's fine on the show but not noteworthy in the slightest and mostly plays straight man to Martin and Short. So your explanation cleared a lot of stuff up for me - thanks!

The Sea Beast (animated movie on Netflix) was pretty fun. It's a bit uneven in that some scenes are very cinematically "shot" and are massively rich with detail and others are relatively basic looking, but I found it entertaining and well made throughout. It's definitely a kids' movie, though, and doesn't have much of the mature elements sneakily thrown in there that Pixar movies tend to, nor does it have secret dirty jokes a la Dreamworks movies.

Sea Beast struck me as "do you like How To Train Your Dragon but wish it were about pirates instead of vikings?" but it's still a pretty good time (if you like that sort of thing) On the extreme opposite end I started watching Homeland on a lark and I like that it accidentally is a show about the CIA being a dogshit organization that only makes things worse but I was advised to bow out when Damien Lewis leaves the show and that seems like the right call

Keep watching for bipolar as a super power, Alex Jones at Ruby Ridge and some Jan 6th action with president Hillary.

Wow. Resident Evil is impressively bad. Usually I watch all this genre garbage but after 1 episode I'm done. Almost feels like they adapted some other random zombie script, that hadn't yet been picked up because it wasn't especially good, and slapped "Resident Evil" on it. I don't think it's a sacred IP or anything so it's not like it "ruins" Resident Evil, it's just a show that lacks interesting... anything. Enos Cabell posted:Homeland would have been so much better as a limited series with a different ending to season one. IIRC season 1 was supposed to end the way we're thinking and they pivoted it.

[increasingly suspicious]"Yesss...sss?" I believe this is as authentic as Nathan For You, which is to say I'm confident they are real people with real reactions that are definitely edited for entertainment and the people occasionally sort of lean into it because it's fun. And he's got a bigger budget. It's loving hilarious, though. The quote I said was from the first few minutes and I would post more fun bits but I don't want to spoil. Obviously, if you liked NFY you'll love it. Nathan's antics thus far are the same equal measure of thoughtful, clever, and sociopathic as before. I honestly missed humor this dry. I should probably seek it out. edit: how the hell did he not break with Cheap Chick in the City? Cheap Chick in the City. Also a real blog.

I think Dark is one of those shows like Heroes where you could watch the first season and call it a day. I think it went off the deep end too hard and lost the magic of what made the first season really amazing (and this is coming from a huge Lost fan). You may not get 100 percent closure ending on s1 but it’s self contained enough that I usually recommend just watching the first.

It got about as complicated as they could make it (probably a bit too much) and then they ended it. I could easily have seen them drag it out even longer and turn into a real slog.

Catching up with Tuca and Bertie - yeah it's weird. It's basically Bojack Horseman style animation / world specifically catered to young Millennial women, or at least that's my read. So probably like 2 people that read this thread. Since I'm not that, many of the jokes and themes don't resonate with me (kinda like parts of Broad City) but I enjoy it overall (but not as much as Broad City). Adjust your expectations accordingly.

It's a couple of things but generic script with RE slapped onto it definitely isn't one the show makes repeated references to the first three games and the girls uncovering what happened there is a big part of the middle of the season. Plus there's half an episode dedicated to running around the house doing the escape room bit that the games love so much.

Inspector Hound posted:Servant on Apple TV is just interesting enough to keep me watching it, but it seems like there's only two possible endings coming I enjoyed season 1 enough. Season 2 was fine. Then season 3 came around and I got a few episodes in, and I realized that they hadn't progressed the story far enough and I just lost interest. I will always have a fondness for Lauren Ambrose though from her time on Six Feet Under. I feel like Rupert Grint and the rest of the main Harry Potter cast have done a pretty good job on moving on from the roles that made them famous.

Late to it, but I caught up the resolutely B-grade Interceptor. And I am not recommending it, but if you wanted to watch some unashamedly clichéd ridiculous action, possibly while drinking and making fun of it? Absolutely fits the niche. I was unaware the director and story creator was Matthew Reilly, who has a long line of treekilling novels in exactly the same vein. For "fans" of his ouevre, this is a must.
