No it's definitely a sitcom, and I think it had decent reviews when it aired here, but the premise made it sound awful so I never bothered with it.

Daedra posted:The Babadook got added to Netflix. I didn't really like it but I rented it earlier. Probably worth a free watch. It's very good. Ive watched three episodes of the daredevil show and I'm liking it quite a lot so far.

Rome is brilliantly written, superbly acted, fantastically produced. Spartacus is not really any of those things, but there is absolutely no reason anyone should not enjoy both, because both are great TV.

I wasn't criticising you for not bolding it btw, honest. it's worth seeing if only for Foster's performance and I had no idea it was even on streaming.

JohnSherman posted:Holy poo poo, Charlie Victor Romeo is bad. Like "babby's first acting class"-level bad. Im sure this is a joke post.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Yes. cool that's what i hoped for, i enjoyed the first season. I liked how(im going to spoiler this even though i dont think it necessary, better safe than sorry) they made Fisk an actual person and less of a caricature than most villains in comic/cartoon things (although at times his dialogue and acting were embarrassingly bad - trash TV so np really), and I like that the good guy doesn't have proper super powers. I hated the Christian Bale impression while in costume, though, and found it unnecessary. You dont have to disguise your voice dude we can see almost your whole face. It is definitely the blind lawyer guy, everyone would spot it immediately. "Hey it the blind lawyer guy who is for some reason covering only the upper section of his head! Wait no the blind lawyer guy doesn't speak like gravel, must be another blind guy in Hell's Kitchen with that exact face and build."

JohnSherman posted:It's not. The premise is interesting, but the actors don't sell it at all. I thought the actors were decent enough, but I agree that it isn't the highest calibre acting you'll ever see. that the scripts are from transcripts of actual events makes the quality of the acting less noticeable to me, and I thought the whole thing was terrifying and sad.

X-Ray Pecs posted:Have you seen The Act of Killing? I haven't watched the Imposter, but from your description of why you liked it, The Act of Killing would be right up your alley. It's an incredible film, featuring some really hosed up people. Im not even sure I can say I enjoyed watching it, because it's hosed up, but it is a really really well made documentary that leaves a lasting impression.

I just watched a new found footage thing called The Mirror. It has terrible reviews on Netflix. There's no real plot (three friends by a 'haunted' mirror on eBay to enter a paranormal competition to win a million dollars, they film itt). Acting is decent, pretty well directed and the editing is top drawer. I loved it. Maybe helped that I watched it in a pitch black and silent room late at night, but it definitely creeped me out.

cat doter posted:The Babadook is great, I quite like how it leans heavily on metaphor and symbolism, not a lot of horror does these days. Also try to remember that the kid is SUPPOSED to be an intolerable shithead. Someone once told me a theory about the oscars, that the people who vote are sent DVDs and they sometimes watch them while they're doing other stuff, so films that lose nothing by being on a small screen do better than they should. Obviously doesn't apply 100% of the time but still. English Patient, anyone?

Chichevache posted:Since I didn't get any good recommendations for police/murder shows, I watched The Following. I blame all of you, you fucks. I'm never getting that brainspace back. Your criteria didn't allow for good recommendations on US Netflix. The Bridge (original, Denmark/Sweden) or one of its many remakes (Mexico/US, UK/France, others I can't remember) would fit but I don't know that any of them are available.

The Blacklist is no better or worse than the rest of the garbage that's on TV nowadays, but at least its main guy hams it up enough to make the odd episode enjoyable, like that guy off the mentalist.
