Is there really no thread for the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? Just watched it and found it out its the best show that came out last year, and I need to be immersed in some convo about it.

Digital Jedi posted:Caught the first 2 episodes of LA to Las Vegas and so far enjoying it. Dylan McDermott plays a great captain and I have always enjoyed his past shows especially Dark blue. Yeah McDermott is such a straight man in this he's gone all the way to being psychotic. There's no barometer to how much he commits to the stupidest jokes here.

Escobarbarian posted:CK’s apology was...I mean Lycus is right that it’s probably the best of anyone’s before Harmon, especially because he flat-out admitted it rather than try and skirt around it, but there was too much self-aggrandising with regards to how these women thought of him etc. Eh he and his manager has been trying to suppress the stories for years, it took journalists publishing the dets and people coming forward publicly for him to sort of cop to it. He's gross.

LadyPictureShow posted:I have no idea what is going on with this letter, but she sounds like a goddamn loon. Some news host went after a woman recounting an awful sexual experience that can be seen as sexual assault for complaing about it, the 22 year old here is the woman who reported the story. The reporter went overboard with her response, but I agree with her whole heartedly. That takedown by the host was deplorable.

STAC Goat posted:Yeah, its a basic pattern that hold some truth but seems to say more about the viewer's tastes than the show's flaws. 90% of network shows follow a basic pattern of S1 growing pains and learning what works and what doesn't, S2 really leaning in on what works and what they learned from S1, and in S3 they're settled in and have a bit of a formula. Some viewers obviously hate this and prefer shows that blow everything up every season or drive make plots that change everything each season. So they just get tired with a show that isn't interested in doing that, but just wants to perfect its formula. Disagree with this. Not you enjoying formulas, but the idea that audience disinterest occurs because of them, and the idea of the third season being its defining height. Supernatual had five seasons of escalating greatness, from its plotting to its themes, to its acting, down to the individual scripts of every episode. Simpsons had 8 great seasons of the same, Seinfeld, Breaking Bad, ER, Angel, etc. The way you phrased is denies what goes into making this stuff, the creatives and crew and actors working hard at crafting something new. The reason Supernatural has suffered outside of the odd episode here and there is because the average episode is of a much lower quality than the average episode from S1-S5. I've tried to latch onto the show numerous times since then and I'm inevitably put off since instead of being an interesting episode focusing on one specific threat or enemy, its just the latest iteration of a nonsense soap opera where the brothers have to save each other again. It's lazy writing, and if it's something you like fair enough, but it's definitely not something that was fated to happen and better creatives behind the scenes could change it.

I'm loving doing it, Spectrum is trying to convince to pay 200+ for my fast internet and cable, gently caress these people. And my apt doesn't connect to any other cable company so they really don't give a poo poo. Cutting the cord next month, just sticking with the 64 dollar basic internet b/c I literally have no other options AFAIK (Fios MIGHT be coming here in 6-12 mths according to them). What do people do other than have Netflix/hulu/amazon etc, to get basic cable options. I have a hazy memory of some sort of digital antenna thing you can buy to get the basic channels? Idk.

Finally got around to watching Mr. Robot S2 this weekend, I can see why this show lost a lot of heat and fans (that's my impression anyway) over this span. It's less focused, the same meta tricks and dramatic twists lost their luster after the S1, and there was a lot of time spent on periphery characters plots. I still think it's an immensely good looking and well constructed thing, with its own unique viewpoint on the world and the like. But I think I enjoyed it a lot more binging it than I would have watching it week to week. Though the ramp up in jarring violence made some good TV (even though sometimes I thought it was a crutch, what can we do in this scene? Throw in a gun I guess). And the less I have to hear someone say the words "DARK ARMY" the better, talk about your crutches. Feels vaguely yellow peril to me.

Rhyno posted:People were ragging on it around episode 5 for being slow but holy poo poo has it been moving faster and faster. Ep 9 was insane. You mean when our Howard was with their Emily? That's my favorite poo poo! The interplay of personalities and how small decisions can completely change a person. It's a brilliant take on the other world scenario. By making the division between worlds happen only a few decades ago you have really meaty takes on change and moral decisions affecting a person's life.

Altered Carbon is such a mixed bag. Halo from BSG was loving delightful and apparently he doesn't make it past the first ep (still on the first ep). The main guy is also a good actor, but the female lead is pretty much the worst actor for a wide variety of reasons I've ever seen in any mainstream TV production. Please let me like you Altered Carbon. e: It's such a determinedly weird show, you can't help but appreciate it. They've gotta do a better job of valuing the acting though.

Rocksicles posted:Pro Tip, don't focus on plot holes or bad writing. It's your window to depression. It's a solid show. The plot hole stuff is why I'm staying away from the show 's thread bc I can just imagine the audience a show like this would attract fixating on some nonessential poo poo. Altered Carbon is delightful. Over the top violence and mayhem and imagination that really channels the dime store pulpy sci books I used to read in the 90s.
