According to the synopsis, this show is about a quirky autistic lawyer who solves cases with her own special way of looking at the world. So does she talk about whales all the time? I liked Extraordinary Attorney Woo. But I could never decide if it was a demeaning stereotype.

quote:don’t want to sound presumptuous, but it’s just a non-interactive version of it, right?" Lmao some of the Fallout games don't really feel or register as Fallout games, but despite any disconnect I think this has a genuine chance of feeling more Fallout 1-2 than anything Bethesda could ever make. The first 2 were drawing a great deal from relevant media and if this is like the things that Fallout liked to be like originally, then its a fun sort of ourobouros. quote:
Wish granted. After seeing the Borderlands trailer I not only keep forgetting it wasn't the Fallout trailer and in general am back to pre Last of Us / Twisted Metal level expectations.

It's a spin off of the Good Wife. The character is a fan fave. The Kings are usually pretty good at handling weird stuff well. edit: The synopsises I've read have all said "astute" not "autistic".

I watched a bunch of episodes of some detective show I already forgot the name of. It was really corny but it was basically a Sherlock Holmes cop who was actively inventing forensic criminology as he goes. It was like the opposite of Columbia, instead of catching them in a little logical trap he has to painstakingly explain and convince people why the logic and evidence proves a less "common old times sense" solution.

Saying that they've been interested in an original story since their very first discussion with Todd Howard gives me hope that they know Todd Howard is full of poo poo and they shouldn't want to be associated with him Re: Fallout He is the Disney to Fallout's Star Wars. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Mar 2, 2024 |

PriorMarcus posted:Poker Face at its best doesn't come close to Columbo. To each their own, but Poker Face was one of the best shows that came out last year. Wouldn't say it surpasses Columbo, probably impossible, Peter Falk is just too good, but it reaches those highs in a few episodes. Easily the best show in that same vein since Columbo came out. Go watch Poker Face if you haven't, is what I'm saying.

I watched the first two episodes of "Dick Turpin" and I enjoyed it. It's very silly and the world has a bit of a Monty Python feel.

On Saturdays, I've been watching Jeff Corwin's show about catching, rescuing or tagging, and releasing wildlife at 10am CST/11am EST on ABC. He has one show at 10am in Florida and another ocean-themed one at 11am. Last week's ocean one was about penguins. At 10:30am, I flip it to Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, which is about modern inventions, on CBS. They also have segments like an outdoor physics playground, an engineer from Society of Women Engineers showing her siblings her job by having them compete at building towers out of pasta sticks and marshmallows, and history segments on people like George Washington Carver

Speaking of, finding out that the director of Wonka previously worked on Mighty Boosh explained Rich Fulcher's appearance in the movie.

Dick Turpin is weird because everybody is doing a period piece except for Noel Fielding who is just being a Noel Fielding character.

Dolly Wells, Michael Fielding and both the dudes in his gang don't strike me as giving period piece performances. TBH I'm not sure Michael Fielding can be accused of giving a performance in anything full stop. I feel like the man just talks and is instantly funny.

Watched most of the first Turpin episode before I got sleepy and paused for later. It's charming. I think I only laughed once, but it's definitely the sort of thing I can just have a low-key nice time with. Was hoping it was going to be a bit more Jack of All Trades, but it's more like Caffeine Free Diet Our Flag Means Death.

cant cook creole bream posted:Why? It's a valid series finale which wraps up the lose ends. It'd be pretty loving depressing if they just both get murdered, the end no moral. If they survived, then Jane has to get John medical treatment and they've got Hihi still coming after them and presumably John's mother is in extreme danger too - or if John is dead and Jane is left alive, she's gonna be on the run by herself. If we only get one season, I'm gonna be left unsatisfied either way, and feeling like there are still a ton of loose ends left: Who is Hihi? Are they actually working for the CIA/Government or is this something else? A foreign nation? A mega-corporation? What organization does Bev work for? Will Jane ever get any kind of closure re: her father? Most importantly, will Hot Neighbor get his commission?

Yeah, I see your point. But for my morbid sense of humor it would be a fun ending. "Yes, that's the end. No morale." is a bit rate these days.

I watched the pilot of Elsbeth having never seen The Good Wife and only seen a few seasons of The Good Fight, none with her in it. I wasn’t lost at all. It’s totally it’s own thing. And it’s just shamelessly Columbo, and I’m ok with that because I want more Columbo.

I've not familiar with the character or show but based on the title, I'm guessing it's about a country bumpkin in the big city? The actress was great in True Blood.

Oh yeah, Preston's great. She won an award for playing this role back in 2013, so the show feels vaguely Ted Lasso-y, in the sense that it's a vehicle for a breakout character who previously existed in a somewhat different format. (TL was a sketch character in some ads IIRC, Elsbeth was a recurring comic antagonis on a legal drama.) I trust the Kings to do something interesting though. Everything they've done has been weird and interesting, despite a CBS patina to a lot of it. At least initially -- look how much Evil changes even by episode 4.

I didn’t mean it from a ‘you’d be lost’ perspective, more a ‘this looks poo poo and looks aimed at 60 year olds’ one. People like those other shows so I’m sure it has something more to it, but I had no idea it was an existing character when I saw the trailer and had zero interest in going further.

I'm four episodes into Monsieur Spade and Clive Owen is carrying this show on his back, I like it enough to continue but I've lost track of the number of Pierre's the show expects me to keep track of and care about, and the plot isn't super interesting.

Regime good. Sometimes I wish the direction had gone harder with the energy, but I laughed and the performances are good. Love that she seemingly refuses to wear blue or red i.e. her country's colours.
