Nihonniboku posted:Nadia's character became a caricature of her season 1 character, almost like Natasha Lyonne was doing an exaggerated impression of herself. Quotin from deep, but having worked on S1, Natasha is not doing an exaggerated impression at all. If anything, S1 toned down her usual patter lol.

I worked with Tony Hawk on a job and I told him how funny his stories about that were and he just said: "it happens every day...... Every. Day.  "

The Boys S3 feels weirdly out of place, like they reset the stakes too quickly. A lot of the plots would feel better flipped between 2 and 3.

Baron von Eevl posted:Doom Patrol is superhero bullshit but Brendan Fraser is real good as a piece of poo poo robot and it's real weird and also super queer. Those parts are great, but the series as a whole is obsessed with being so dour and morose and you spend forty minutes an episode in flashbacks of all the traumatizing things that happened to the characters.

Memnaelar posted:See is really good and really dumb. See is a never ending series of "why did you do that?" Entertaining and beautiful as hell, but I'm a few eps into season 2 and finding the weird dialects and vocabulary are morphing into more contemporary dialog.

A MIRACLE posted:I struggled with Industry tho. That really IS lovely people the tv show, also gross and porny sex scenes you didn’t ask for The pilot really seemed to tee up how devastatingly bad finance is for the people who work there and the world at large and then a few eps later you're encouraged to cheer for Harper to successfully lie her way through cheating her client and her coworkers to make some more money for the company.

Pigma_Micron posted:It solves the problem of shows that stack too many plots and characters on top of each other. The characters one drives me insane. The "well we have to give this actor something to do this season" mentality on the parts of studios and showrunners really drags on good storytelling.

A MIRACLE posted:It’s not prestige tv if it doesn’t have a 6 minute long gritty blues song intro with a bunch of slide guitar and a gravelly voiced gritty boy singing bout hard times And it's not a fantasy/scifi show without a four minute tilt-shift sequence of props or random textures BonoMan posted:It's about 30-35 seconds total and that's it. That's all the opening sequence there is. I'd say that's pretty quick compared to most shows! 10 seconds even

Field Mousepad posted:Yeah I think the problem with Skylar is that she's probably the most linear character in the show, she has almost no arc at all. Better that (and that's way oversimplified, Skylar has a lot of escalating reactions to Walt's poo poo) than Marie's garbo arcs for most of the series.

KittyEmpress posted:Lazy ideas get rewarded. People loved the idea of a Winnie the Pooh horror film not because it was a good unique idea, but because of a mix of love of "children's media turned evil" and "lol wouldn't it be funny to gently caress with disney". it made 5 million dollars; didn't seem to shake Disney to its core tbh

Season drops are awful if you want to discuss a show. The window to actually chat and meme about a show is a week, maybe two. If you're interested in discussing a show or don't like spoilers, you only have a few days to cram ten hours of watching in before the whole conversation shifts to theorycrafting for the next season. On top of that, if you're watching it that quickly, you're almost definitely second screening too.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I've said this before: if the whole season drops at once, you can still watch weekly if you want to. You can watch daily monthly, whatever you want! Producers of Netflix shows have said explicitly that the only views of their show that count are watches of the entire show within about two weeks. For shows that release weekly, that window is much longer and steady WoW increases are excellent predictors of a show's potential audience. I think sci-fi/fantasy shows have the most to lose from a binge model, because they're much harder sells to a larger audience. I want "the conversation" and "buzz" because it gets renewals for shows I like, as opposed to the instant gratification of watching a ten hour movie.

Lost would've done so much better under HBO or a cable channel. Network TV deadlines are already insane for episodic shows that shoot mostly on stage. Doing a fully serialized show with a sprawling ensemble cast almost fully on location is nuts even without a psycho like Cuse running the writers room.

Jose Oquendo posted:That needs to go into the OP. Public and college library systems can get you access to lots of free streaming services. Kanopy is the first one that comes to mind. You can even sign up for library cards and poo poo online so you don't have to go to a physical library (but you should anyway and support your local library system. Kanopy costs libraries and universities a huge amount of money. Even Stanford noped out.

STAC Goat posted:Man. I’m pretty cool with remakes and reboots and such but I can’t think of many things I’d be less interested in diving into then a new Lost. I’m not stepping into that hole again. You'd either get a too-close remake that excises all the boring and bad parts and the central mystery is the same or you'd get a total reimagining at which point you should just make a new show without the baggage and thirty additional executive producers to pay.

Wolfsheim posted:After a certain point it becomes a show less about jokes and more about how nice everyone is and how much they want to help each other It's such a Michael Schur thing that he wrote a whole show about how every person on Earth is actually inherently good and just wants to be friends with everybody else on Earth. Even the literal embodiments of evil who take sadistic joy in mutilating and dismembering people are redeemed by the end of the series. That's just the guy's philosophy.
