Oh poo poo I had a smug face on about how little I care about spoilers and one of those still really blindsided me. Guess I have some TV watching to do :(

Same here, but that's how it goes. I only started watching the show recently.

I take it that Magicians is: we want to do Hogwarts, but with sexy grad students instead of children.

Magicians is basically if Harry Potter was obsessed with Narnia and then discovered at Hogwarts that it was real, one of the kids was visiting him in his dreams, and Valdemort was actually an evil monster from there.

Only in this version Harry didn't get brought to Hogwarts when he was 10, but instead made it to his twenties as a depressed and horribly socially broken loser, Ron is an rear end in a top hat because he's spent his whole life trying to keep voices out of his psychic head, and Hermione got rejected by Hogwarts and instead of going to a safety school she obsessively learned magic from any sketchy and dangerous person she finds in any back alley while Harry dodges her calls because he's bitter about being friend zoned.

I'm actually rewatchng S1 now for some reason (it's solid background noise that I don't really care if I'm not paying attention to while I do other things) and even though it's still had trash it's much less bad binged and still sounds way better then the books. Mostly it sounds like the show just tightened up a lot of dragging, boring story plots and made the characters marginally less unlikable assholes.

The blonde girl's not Hermione?

I haven't watched a single episode and it obviously seemed to be about zombies. :confused:

I don't know how you figured that out without knowing anything about it. I didn't see the blood at first in the smaller title card, so I just noticed a man and woman carrying a cooler. When I read some of the episode titles, I thought it was about suburban serial killers or something.

What the gently caress was that finale of Santa Clarita Diet?

I'm not categorically against a cliffhanger to end a season but it wasn't even that good of a cliffhanger. Off the top of my head I can think of three better mid season cliffhangers.

Awful.

It reminded me of the last Longmire finale. It felt like they forgot to upload one or two episodes.

What are these bad Netlix shows? Whilst not everything is amazing, I'd recommend pretty much everything I've watched.

I only watched one episode for shits, but I would not recommend Fuller House.

I actually hate Amazon's pilot thing. Just make a drat decision and go through with it. It worked for Goliath.

The real alternative is make pilots and don't show them at all and don't let subscribers have any input on what gets picked up.

My sister recommended Bastard Executioner to me, it was absolutely terrible. But she stopped watching it too not long after recommending it. I think she was just going through Game of Thrones withdrawal and made a mistake.

They threatened his family, and he didn't like that. That's pretty much it. Who's to say if he could have just walked away with the money Hector gave him and never had them bother him again? Clearly he thought they weren't just gonna forget him. "No half measures".

Okay, thought it was maybe that simple. It's just that with every scene, I kept thinking "What the gently caress, Mike? This is just going to bring them more trouble!"

For a series that runs a grand total of 4 1/2 hours, can really anything be leaned on too hard?

Season 2 kind of depresses me now though since it happened in real life.

Oh gently caress, you're right. But real life Xander Crews met the meagre requirements to run.

Frequency worked well enough as a mini series. All the loose ends were tied up and there was just a tiny plot hook for s2 in the very last scene.

The gently caress? I don't even know what a "darker, more mature" Speed Racer would look like. Speed Racer is about a kid who races cars with his family and a monkey as his pit crew and frequently other cars explode during the races. The movie had all those things and more. What else would you need?

The monkey would be an alcoholic.

On the other hand, it really sucks to catch an Amazon pilot and actually liking it because that show could be anywhere in-between 1-2 years from hitting the screen.

That's a silly complaint, though.
