I mean, I look back at 2009 and wonder how there was such a thriving French house scene in my small Iowa town of 8000.

I mean, Disney's streaming platform will have Star Wars and Marvel. If anyone has a chance it's them. But I still chuckle every time I think about CBS All Access.

less laughter posted:I hope if the upcoming DuckTales revival is a success, they reboot Rescue Rangers as well. And Adventures of the Gummi Bears. Folks are going gaga over the pilot, so it sounds like they pulled it off well. I'm surprisingly excited - not because I have much affinity for the original DuckTales, and I've pretty much given up on watching cartoons otherwise, but I really did love the comics as a kid and love those types of adventure stories. I just want a decent modern Tintin show, and this looks like it might scratch that itch.

The Marvel Netflix shows depress me, because it was such a good opportunity for more good serialized fantastical martial arts action. Outside of Kung-Fu, have their been any other good martial arts-based TV shows?

Jack of All Trades is great. It's just the comedic episodes of Hercules the Legendary Journeys but as an entire show.Snak posted:I love The Expanse, but it's pretty lacking in the character development area. That's an understatement. I'd say it's lacking in the character area, full stop. It's not just that they're underdeveloped, it's that they're just not interesting or compelling in any way at a base level. Which is a shame, since outside of the characters the show is cool as hell. But it's really tough to watch as-is, and if they'd nailed the characters it would be the new BSG.

I'd watch a series about the degenerates of a utopian society. Just follow the lazy, greedy, and criminal element as protagonists and show how they're dealt with inside a Federation equivalent where everyone is expected to just fit into utopian ideals.

Everything else is just a rad old man's horror movie collection. If it helps, I now own far more VHS tapes than Blu-Rays. Though I own a lot of books as well, many of them just because they've got beautiful covers.

As a huge fan of Riverdale, are there any teen shows I should check out that are also great in the recent teen renaissance? Like is Teen Wolf or Vampire Diaries or any fun teen drama and/or genre show going to be able to scratch that Archie itch? Sweet/Vicious? Who are the most critically acclaimed or under-appreciated youths out there?

There are a few Amazon shows I'd enjoy watching. But since they refuse to allow streaming on a Chromecast I guess I'm just out of luck, because gently caress having to buy their proprietary stick. Maybe I'll just break down and get a Roku when I upgrade my TV.

Hm. Okay. So I didn't like The Flash all that much when I watched it, nor Supergirl. Too much soap opera drama, too much tonal whiplash. But I've heard that Legends of Tomorrow actually got decent after its first season, though I was skeptical because that first season previews looked so bad and got such poor reviews. But then I just watched the season 3 trailer out of curiosity and it looks pretty darn fun in a Raimi Hercules/Xena kind of way. Is that the case? Is there anyone who can't get behind Flash/Supergirl who is into Legends of Tomorrow now for these same reasons?

Motherfucker.quote:In NBC’s Nancy Drew, written by the duo, when the author of the most famous female teen detective book series is thrust into a real-life murder mystery, who does she turn to for help? Her two best friends from childhood, who were the inspiration for all those books and the women who have a real ax to grind about the way their supposed best friend chose to portray them all those years ago. Yet another cutesy meta take on classic material. I was hoping that the success of Riverdale could lead to the first decent Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew adaptation.

nate fisher posted:Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is one of those shows I liked at the first, but by time I binged to the start of season 2 it wore me out. I still keep telling myself to go back and finish season 2, but then I remember Josh Chan and I go watch something else. I don't think I will ever make it back. There was a moment toward the end of season 2 that gave me the sort of closure I was looking for and I bounced after that. I feel very satisfied with this 1 3/4 season show I watched that ended after the a West Covina reprise inside a party bus.

Yes but also instead, Riverdale is brilliant. The series is absolutely tongue-in-cheek, but it's also not. It's the perfect pastiche. It's riding a razor-thin line of delivering well-written, full-on melodrama in a way that completely inhabits the style and the cliches of the teen genre, but also acts as an almost cartoonish commentary on the ridiculous nature of that melodrama. When it shows Archie having sex with his teacher it's not in someone's bedroom, it's in a perfectly lit Volkswagen Beetle in the middle of a torrential thunderstorm surrounded by school buses, and the scene is cut to while a girl gives a eulogy for her dead brother. At a pep rally. And when the teacher picks him up she's wearing heart-shaped Lolita glasses. It's ludicrous, it's over the top, it knows exactly what it's doing, and it's perfect.
