Nip/Tuck got crazy bad by the end (then ran like another 4 seasons or something) but I'll forever love that one season's main antagonist's big plot was to get a completely new face so he could change identities, and then he gets arrested straight after because the doctors just made a point of making him look 20 years younger but still with the same face, and the guy just didn't recognise his younger self anymore.

Shageletic posted:you been watching Dungeon Meshi? I don't like the gimmick of dungeon meshi. I've had a try, but "let's cook things that don't exist and focus on that for most of the episode" is just...weird? I like the gimmick of Freiren's "we saved the world, now what"

^^Dungeon Meshi slowly expands the scope of what it’s about over time until it becomes one of the better examples of world-building I’ve seen. If you bounced off the initial premise, you might like what it becomes. Or you might not. But there’s a reason it gets talked about.Shageletic posted:We can all agree that Frieren isn't that good. Yeah, Frieren is just that great instead. Or at least the manga is, I haven’t had time to watch the anime because I have so many other things I need to watch. .

Frieren is a slow burner but is definitely worthwhile, however its setting doesn't really change from generic fantasy which is what holds it back a bit imho (I know that's somewhat on purpose because its picking apart such a setting but still)

Just watched the first episode of Dark Winds season 2. Everything about it feels like a drop off from season 1.  The writing and acting are rough.

There is a lot of novel content being pushed out and it's obviously unsustainable, but my main gripe-comparison-with-00s is the production schedules. I know covid hosed a lot of poo poo up (and ended plenty of good shows for good!), but it feels dumb that we still have to wait what, 2-ish years for a new season of Incest and Dragons show, or The Boys, or almost anything. I'm OK with the fact that I can't consume everything that comes out because I only have so many hours for teevee in a day, and frankly that's fine since a lot of the novel content isn't stuff that'd necessarily even interest me, but god damnit it sucks waiting for stuff to pick up where we left off

Back in the day we'd call them "mini-series" but no one seems to use that term anymore. I think it's because the streaming services always want to leave open the possibility they can squeeze another season out of it somehow or turn it into a franchise with spin-offs and reuse the name.

Nowadays they call them "a limited series event". When you think about it, every show is a limited series. Except the Simpsons

I think I swiped away a clickbait about the stalker the show character was based on wanting their own version told, but I hope that was contained to sleazy mags trying to cash in on hot topics.

Gorn Myson posted:Same. Baby Reindeer is the best thing I've seen from this year and theres no possibility of a second season, a spin off, a prequel or a multi-world saga. Seven brilliant episodes and a clear ending, done. I get more satisfaction out of that approach to TV now than I do anything else. Season Two will come out in a decade and be about Richard Gadd being sued into loving oblivion for failing to follow even basic safe guarding.

Little late to the party but they have got to stop trying to make Xena and Hercules romance a thing. Nobody is buying it, there is no chemistry there.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth, and saw that it was good. This offended Zaslav, and he's been working on tearing it all down ever since.

I'd be okay with Scavengers Reign being cancelled as long as the same team stuck together and went on to do something else. The first season's story was nicely self-contained and the universe-opening tease at the end was cool and enigmatic enough that my imagination can run with it, but not inherently compelling enough that I'm mad I don't get to see what the deal with it is.

Not Dead Yet was also canceled. While not great I will miss this show. It was a super breezy comedy.

Yeah I'd love to see that story develop but it did end in a satisfying place. The greater thing is that this team did an amazing job and they should do more stories together. E: it also satisfied a particular type of niche that isn't being well serviced right now: truly big and uncompromising sci fi that is as interested in the ecology of its universe as the people in it. And since CGI for that would be prohibitively expensive it's natural that it's animated instead without sacrificing it's mature focus.
