The internet as a whole is what ruined all of that anyway, and while I'm completely in favor of permanently destroying the internet and banning all computers of any kind I don't see that happening.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Does Seinfeld look like total poo poo on Netflix for anyone else? It’s not the actual streaming quality, because I can stream other stuff in HD and 4K just fine. I don’t know if it’s the way they upscaled it or what, but it’s just constantly artifacting, especially on skin tones and anything warm. The biggest thing I noticed was the camera man's inability to focus the camera in Jerry's apartment. The plus side is that you get to check out all his cereal and the stuff on his desk. There's a Magic: The Gathering box back there in at least one episode

I finally watched Don't Look Up, it was really good. I wonder if people who didn't like it felt like it was a scold, or were frustrated that whichever character didn't perfectly line up with whichever political figure they thought they were meant to represent. "You're going to be eaten by a 'bronteroc.' We don't know what it means!" made me laugh every time I thought of it for the next day, and had a perfect payoff. 0/10 too realistic

The Suicide Squad is mostly bad, but there's a part in the middle where it becomes a Doctor Who episode for twenty or thirty minutes, complete with Doctor Who.

Ghosted on Hulu is bad. I like Craig Robinson and Adam Scott, and there's a few points where you can see how it could have been a fun show, but it's not looking very functional after 3 episodes.

It seems like they had a bunch of ideas for action scenes left over from Ready Player One and couldn't figure out a believable setting for the action scenes they wanted to use, so they made Free Guy. There's some individual parts that are fun in a vacuum and even some neat ideas, but they don't connect very well. It's like a movie version of an internet meme.

Chas McGill posted:It didn't deliver on its promise. I thought it looked and sounded good without ever being particularly scary or intriguing. It had some really cool high points, but then it really went off course towards the end, and then the last shot of the finale removed any interest I had in watching it again.

When I worked at Netflix I eventually just started telling people with Smart TVs and Chromecasts to buy a basic Roku. I got a lot of calls over Smart TVs, and Chromecasts were just too complicated for some people. Please always connect your streaming device directly to your modem or router via Ethernet wire.

mystes posted:Does that actually make sense though? There's still a recommendation system, the line when I worked at customer service was that rating stuff does change what you're presented with. I know it works on Hulu at least, after a week or two of watching The X-Files I'm being bombarded with 90s nostalgia shows. e and I guess sending new stuff to people would help determine whether original content survives or it's worth renewing licensing for shows

I hate Amazon, the interface on the PS4 sucks and is packed with ads and things to trick you into spending money. Only barely related: I searched my home video app on my PS4 for a movie, it didn't come up, but then it did come up when I searched while actually in the HBOMax app; something to keep in mind if you don't find something right away in other apps and searching your device's home screen doesn't help.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:I don't want to act like the show ever went ACAB, since it was a TNT procedural, but for what it's worth they kind of acknowledge that Sedgewick's character is a pretty iffy person at best and the satisfying victories in the show only come when she's unleashed on worse people. I didn't watch many of the early episodes, but by the end they have some plot points in play to that effect. Timby posted:The last two seasons are pretty much entirely about how her history of being terrible lands her in extremely hot water. I joined someone else watching near the beginning of season 5, and she is all about threatening people with the death penalty and covering up police misconduct. My favorite moment so far is probably her taking a nurse call button away from someone in a hospital bed so she could interrogate them without their lawyer. Then they'll bookend the episode with her being sad about her cat. I don't know, it's just a show, but as I get older and the news gets more horrifying the more I recognize as awful in cop shows. Parts of it are exciting at least, and if you like the cop parts of Law and Order more than the court parts it's probably good. Does Major Crimes end up being better?

Finished rewatching Party Down on Hulu for the second or third time. What a perfect little joy of a show. Half hour episodes, a meta story contained in a way that it works as the background for the whole thing, and just two seasons to avoid the slump in quality that starts to happen to almost any series longer than that. I don't want a third season, I just wish there were more shows like it.

 Darkplace is on Prime It's an 80s horror series set in a hospital, presented with commentary by the highly respected author who wrote it and the hotshot producer who brought it all together. Maybe Matt Berry's best, but I can't find a place to watch Toast of London.

I know it's old news, but I'm watching Love, Death & Robots. It's ridiculously violent at times, but the shorts overall range from at least passable to excellent. The animation in some of them is impressive; I didn't even realize "The Secret War" was CG until a few minutes in.

Truth Seekers on Prime is an accurate depiction of what it's like to be a cable guy and hunt ghosts at the same time. It's the rare horror/comedy that's actually funny and actually scary(ish), plus it has Malcom McDowell and grown up cinematography to boot. I was hooked when they referenced Toynbee, but there's also numbers stations, witchcraft, and cosplay.
