less laughter posted:And with all the resurrecting going on it also rendered character deaths completely meaningless and devoid of any emotional impact. There are other shows with that problem but TVD is definitely the most egregious example. To be fair TVD managed to correct this by destroying it's version of heaven so that when you're dead, your are fully dead.

This Hannah girl has the worst loving luck. It's a great show, but it's almost comical how much poo poo they pile on her. I'm on episode five and by series end I'm expecting one or all of: a sexual assault, a gang rape, an abortion, parental abuse, drug use, drug dealing, murder, covering up a murder, having a family pet die, Avatrek and cancer to befall her as well.

What's Season Two of Colony like? I liked the first well enough but if two is more of the same slow pacing with very little world building I'll probably skip it.

[quote="ShakeZula" post="472007140"] I found it pretty cathartic, but then I also thought it was extremely well-done Really?! You couldn't help but picture Aria stupidly fumbling around a kitchen checking a cooking book as she bales a pie for the first time, hoping no one comes in and questions what she's doing there with two Frey corpses and a crimping fork? It was dumb as gently caress and pushed Aria from broken, revenge motivated young girl into Dexter Morgan magic serial killer territory. She loving chopped up and baked two people. It's dumb as gently caress.

raditts posted:Yeah, I was definitely less into Legion in the last couple of episodes, and the last episode was a pretty wet fart. I'll still come back to it next season though, I'm still interested in seeing where it goes. For all the praise he gets Noah can't write an ending for poo poo. Every season of every show he's ran just kind of dribbles out to a limp conclusion. Also it doesn't help that it only took Fargo two seasons to become one of the most formulaic shows on TV despite having the freedom to avoid that.

Josh Lyman posted:I haven't seen any American Gods after e2. They have a 7 season plan to cover a medium sized novel that even as your reading it feels stretched very thin. One season alone will cover the main character being deliberately side lined into a supernatural spin-off of Midsummer Murders. You're best choice is to wait for the entire show to finish then binge it but even then it's only going to realistically get to season three before it's cancelled because the glacial pace makes it bleed viewers and critical reception.

Mike Myers donated a good chunk of his personal fortune to a small blu-ray label in the UK when they were in financial troubles basically ensuring they will go on forever restoring and caring for old films that would otherwise be forgotten. He's a really great guy with a passion for film only matched by Tarantino. He just doesn't have that much creativity left and has suffered a backlash.

-Blackadder- posted:I'm still debating even bothering to watch Season 3 of The Leftovers. I really just could not stand season 1 and while season 2 was a huge improvement I feel like the show just isn't for me since I was always more interested in the mystery than the characters' endless grief-mugging, and the showrunners made it pretty clear that the mystery wasn't really the point of the show and probably wouldn't even end up being explained. Dont worry it turns out they were lying all along and the mystery being resolved is the point of the finale.

The fact that the finale of the series came down to choosing wether you believe in the explanation that ties up every mystery in the show or wether you don't proves it was never a show about the characters with no interest in an explanation. Of course it was always going to explain things. That should've been obvious in season two when they started layering the mysteries up. It basically did the opposite of Lost. Pretended it was about the characters and then surprised you with an explanation. Lost pretended it was about the mystery and then surprised you by being poo poo.

Vinyl was a genuinely terrible show. Probably the worst prestige show in recent years. Bobby Carnivale having zero charisma didn't help his character and the show runner being an awfully boring writer tanked it. Seriously between Boardwalk and Vinyl HBO must of been desperate to burn all bridges with that guy. What an incredible achievement it was to turn those subject matters into boring poo poo.

raditts posted:If people didn't want Elba to be James Bond, can you imagine the response from a nerdier and more toxic fanbase? Do you honestly think the fanbase of a show built around change and hope and inclusivity is more toxic than a fan base built around a masculine action fantasy where women are disposable objects? I can guarantee that 99% of the Doctor Who fan base aren't mad about this move and I would wager that over half is actually happy.

Friends was easily the biggest show listed here. Much bigger than Seinfield which never broke out of the US. Friends was a genuine world wide phenomenon. Saying it's the Two and a Half Men of its time massively undersells both it's reach to this day and it's impact on the TV landscape from then to now.

Oh. Well I thought it was a great film, and the Muppets had become irrelevant. Though I guess the people behind the scenes probably know better about what people want.

Finally got around to watching Unbreakable season 3 and it's much, much better than Season 2. That said for how much I enjoy it in the moment I can't help but feel that a few years from now it'll have aged terribly and we will all recognise Tina Fey has being an amazingly hateful writer.

So Dirk Gently is basically one of the best shows in recent years - certainly with one of the strongest starts - and no one is talking about it? Is it because it's written by genuinely great writer but internet marmite Max Landis? Because I'm fairly sure most people dislike him because they wish they were him.
