Hannibal and Will then land safely on their corpses but are washed different ways by the currents. BAM! Hannibal Season 4!  Haven't rewatched Hannibal in like a year. Should do that again

I still liked season 3. Yeah the shoestring budget was laughable (stuffed doll tiger lol) but the Verger family stuff was so good and the last 5 seconds of the entire series was a perfect ending

https://twitter.com/shadowandbone_/status/1600520509757698048 I quite enjoyed the first season, so I am really looking forward to this. Sure, the main plot was super tropey, but it had enough fun b-plots and side characters to make it stand out from the crowd. It is also nice to see a fantasy show set in a world with WW1 levels of technology, where wizards have to deal with the fact that machine guns are just as effective as fireballs.

I especially liked that it's set in the 1930s and not the 1950s like most noir film and tv set in Los Angeles that has come out in the last few decades (it feels like everyone is still going back to 97s LA Confidential for inspiration). LA is still part farmland, the racism and poverty are worse. It gives everything a more edgy social background than the postwar setting. An American dream broken by the current circumstances, rather than one given new life after the war. And more outright weird stuff, like the strange personality cult revival church in season 1, and the focus on how new it was what they were doing, religion on the radio

So far in S3 of His Dark Materials they have done better than the book by still having Lyra be present at the start as opposed to her just not existing in the plot for several chapters

I’m four episodes into Y The Last Man, and so far I like it better than the comic. It seems to be making much better use of its premise and setting, actually investigating what it would be like and how people would be affected vs using it at backdrop for varied comedy adventure. Some of the changes reflect how much more insane politics and culture have gotten since 2006.

I will say that the last episode or so showed promise for what a second season might deliver, and there were a few new things in it I like, particularly the conspiracy theory/cryptid people who were compiling Yorick sightings like he was Bigfoot but of course they were only in like a single scene, but hoo... I thought the show was a complete squandered premise, on the same level as the remake of The Stand. Creamerie and Station Eleven were way better pandemic shows from last year. I will say, I think the show nailed Dr. Mann, and the core dynamic gets a lot better once she arrives.

The new Y The Last Man made some atrocious choices, but man, the big episode that focuses on Missi Pyle's character shows that it could really have delivered if given the chance. Creamerie is the better show though with the same template. (Also on Hulu) Edit: Missi PYLE not Peregrym. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Dec 8, 2022 |

Read After Burning posted:I was gonna ask, has anyone here read the book? For some reason, I'm more interested in reading post-apocalyptic stories than watching them (although not opposed to the latter). It's a really nicely condensed look at life after (with some flashbacks to life before) the big event that caused everything to change. I really dug it, and especially how it ended, and I'm keen to see what changes the book made. Ironically, one of my favorite post-apocalyptic/plague stories was The Stand which is loving gigantic, and while I enjoyed the entire book I felt it was strongest in the immediate aftermath of Captain Trips impacting, while with Station Eleven I far preferred the sections in the "future" showing the scattered communities that had formed and were starting to grow (or stagnate) years after it was all over.

The Station Eleven book is way way way less dramatic than the show and pretty chill, all things considered. The ending is also pretty different iirc. The show is probably better to be honest. The book isn't bad by any means - the show is just that loving good.

Finally caught up with the rest of the world and watched Our Flag Means Death. Taika Waititi balances freaking scary and funny/sweet so well. I love the relationships between the crew and with the two captains so much. And you goons were right, the writing isn't as solid in the first couple of episodes, but once Blackbeard comes into play, it finds its rhythm and is great.

External Organs posted:The Station Eleven book is way way way less dramatic than the show and pretty chill, all things considered. The ending is also pretty different iirc. Yeah the book is definitely way more chill. Honestly they're just two different experiences and I loved both of them. While I did think the changes worked for the show... I don't know if I'd ever wish those changes were back in the book. If that makes sense. The changes make sense for a show for sure... But I like some of the disconnected-ness in the book. The only change I wish was in the book is the cult stuff... It's too boilerplate sex cult stuff in the book. The show made it something different which was way better. Anyway, Read After Burning , watch the show! I promise it's not what you think.

It is definitely the most depressing and hard-hitting show I’ve seen in a long time despite the laughs (and I know a spoiler from the penultimate episode that makes one storyline even more emotionally draining), but it’s in service of a very important point and I appreciate that a lot. It’s awful to see how cruel and unfair and stressful it is for them all, and this is set before the Tories spent the last decade-plus dismantling everything.
