I just finished Fallout. I've never played the games but my roommate in Afghanistan played fallout 3 a lot so I recall some of the broad strokes. I really enjoyed the Lucy and Boyd Crowder storylines though. A show about a massive company ruining the world produced by Amazon is a nice bit of irony though. I guess that's my dumb hot take.

Yo, I don't normally ask for recommendations BUT: I'm in the mood for some moody, angsty, big feelings type shows. I'm side-eyeing 13 Reasons Why, but that's roughly the ballpark. Is there poo poo like that but pitched a bit older? Essentially I'm looking for something on the meaner end of the mean <---> schmaltzy scale, and not too blokey. A "feel bad" show, if you know what I mean by that.

Man Foundation season 2 really slaps huh. I put off watching this for 6 months on account of season 1 being trash, somehow it recovered and it instead really good!

fez_machine posted:Six Feet Under Yep! That's the stuff. Particularly SFU Season 3, which is probably what I'll go with. Escobarbarian posted:Idiom has bad and wrong opinions on Lindelof shows This is true. Behold: - L O S T's best season was its third, and the season finale is GOATed. A lot of the other seasons are pretty weak though, particularly two and six. - Ana Lucia is the best. - Leftovers gets worse the longer is goes, but the first season is very very strong and even the final season has that Matt episode so this is damning with faint praise. - Watchmen BAD.  - Mrs Davis has an excellent opening and finale, but I do not care for a lot of the middle

Are you saying that you don't understand what I mean and asking me to explain myself more effectively that I have, or just being pedantic about specific language choices when you largely understand what's being communicated?

Just finished the final season of Reservation Dogs. I couldn’t watch it when it came out because I had just lost my mother and didn’t think I would be able to handle it. After the last few episodes I think I was right. drat, what a fantastic show.

Mercury Ballistic posted:I just finished Fallout. I've never played the games but my roommate in Afghanistan played fallout 3 a lot so I recall some of the broad strokes. I think Fallout started stronger than it ended. By the end I didn’t really care about anyone’s story besides Goggins and a little for the dorky soon-to-be ghoul. Goosey is sort of OK, but I thought the “okie-dokies” culminating into a “hardened” okie-dokie at the end was pretty silly, even for a Fallout thing. I did like the story they were telling with her though. The Vault 33 stuff was OK, but that’s a seriously lame vault gimmick. I get they had to do something like that for the narrative to move forward with Goggins’ character, but overall I was hoping for something a bit more vaulty. I couldn’t care less about the main BOS stuff. They’re the most boring faction in the games and they’re the most boring part of the show by a country mile.

Went through Letterkenny and all its specials at a pace that was f**king embarrassing. The spinoff Shoresy hits a tad too close to home, being from a rural city that lives for its failing ice hockey team full of local superstars and binge drinking, though.

Same here, Letterkenny and that style of humor is the side of my middle and high school experience I’d much rather not experience again, even just for laffs. Once was plenty more than enough tyvm. But back on topic, I’ve been forced to repeat-binge Hey Duggee by my 4yo and have enjoyed it. It’s not quite Bluey-level writing but it’s consistently engaging wholesome fun for both my son and me.

Just finished the first episode of Conan O’Brien Must Go where he goes to Norway I can’t remember the last show that made me laugh this hard. And a genuine “Awwwwwww”  moment at the endAnd finished Fallout. Went in with no expectations and thought it was really good! Cat Hassler fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Apr 21, 2024 |

'Conan O'Brien Must Go' was dropped on HBOMax. Awesome....just like the other travel specials that he's done in the past. If anything.....Conan is even more rambunctious here....and the results are hilarious. 'The Sympathizer' is kind of a letdown through two episodes. It's trying to be sharp and witty but not really succeeding. A little too flat and dull. RestingB1tchFace fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Apr 23, 2024 |

Brigands: The Quest For Gold on Netflix - This looked interesting. It wasn't. I think we were meant to be rooting for somebody in this, but I can't honestly tell who or why I would want to. I stopped caring who lived and who died before the halfway point, and checked out when the show did a cover version of Bowie's "Heroes" because wtf. White Collar also Netflix - ACAB, eat the rich, wine snobs can drink diet pepsi in hell. With that out of the way, the first season was entertaining with interesting characters and decent performances but got really repetitive and pointless after that.

The first few episodes were interesting, insanely uncomfortable, but then this episode stabbed me in the chest. I finished it tonight and it’s probably the best and most affecting series I’ve watched in a long time. Content warning for some extremely confrontational depiction/discussion of sexual assault and trauma.
