Man Ozark is a good show but it needs to be like half as many episodes. So much filler.

That ending though

The trailers for season 1 just looked like a The Good Place rip off, with an uncharismatic lead that it just didn't look interesting. Is it actually good?

I liked it but I honestly can't remember much about it other than the premise.

McGruder wasn’t involved in the last season of the show. It’s a large reason why it sucked so much.

Finished Boba Fett, baffling at how they made an enormous fight sequence in Tatooine featuring two jet packed bounty hunters laying waste to a crime syndicate boring. Thirteen year old me would be very disappointed.

Was just telling a friend how angry young medullah would have been when I told him how dull I found a show about Boba Fett. It's not bad, just meh He'd also be angry at how fat I got, but that's neither here nor there.

I think I'm at the point now where I almost don't care about Star Wars media about existing characters in the franchise. They have such a fantastic world of lore to work from and we're just hitting the same beats over and over again. I'm more excited about the return of Robocobb than I am about Ashoka or Kenobi.

yeah I was definitely thinking about Raw while I watched it. i should watch that again.

i made the extremely dubious decision to start Legends of Tomorrow as a show to put on while playing games, since it's 7 seasons long and probably not something one needs to pay attention to, and it's actually great for that purpose. it's one of those old style serial scifi shows like Sliders and it kinda owns

Season 1 of Legends is atrocious, like almost no redeeming factor and it takes itself way too seriously. It should have been cancelled.

But it wasn't, and the writers said "Hmmm, I think this is a bad, cheezy show so let's go all in" and it quickly became one of my favorite shows ever. So when you're watching it and saying "God the Hawk people are boring" understand it becomes a different show entirely that many of us adore.

I have a very low level Vizio TV from 4 years ago, and some janky-rear end internet service, and it's incredible the difference between the various apps:

Hulu, Apple TV+ - They absolutely hate my TV. They'll play maybe one episode of a show, maybe, then completely poo poo the bed for no reason I can see.

HBO MAX, Disney+, Paramount+ - These mostly seem to be friends with my TV, though occasional arguments arise.

Netflix, Prime Video - They just play stuff with no backtalk and it's great. No errors, no buffering, no poo poo.

I have a LG that was keeping up for a bit but I finally threw in the towel and got a Fire stick (and like 500 Chromecasts I've gathered through the years). Now I feel dumb for waiting, it's so much faster than the native apps.

Netflix but I'm begging you to not watch it. Well that is unless you love the idea of his daughter being a TikTok star leading the rest of the cast in a dance number unironically.

A MIRACLE posted:

Nobody knows yet last episode is this week I think

I think it's safe to say it definitely won't wrap everything up and will definitely have a cliffhanger. And even if it does solve all the mysteries it's introduced it will introduce more. I don't think this is quite :lost: levels but it's a long haul show for sure.

I like that in Severance the audience knows so much more than the characters do, so it's enjoyable watching the mysteries present themselves. Better than :lost: where it was just mystery after mystery and we didn't know any more than the characters.

From is guilty of the "nothing is explained and more mysteries are introduced" :lost: cliffhanger, but I really wasn't expecting it to answer anything. I just hope it's a planned out series with answers that will pay off scenes from season 1.

Severance has a "cliffhanger", but it absolutely answered questions. You know more about what's going on than you do in the first episode.

One of the interesting things here is that on Playstation, you can search for a movie and it shows you all the services it's on. It's actually pretty convenient.

Plex just added a feature like that (Discover). Search for a movie and it will show you the apps that have the show/movie you're looking for. If you're using it on PC you can click and it will load it up on the appropriate site.

10 years ago I said I would never buy digital only media. I was all about digital copies that came with Blu-Rays, but the idea of buying ONLY a digital copy was just abhorrent to me.

Nowadays, if I can't stream it or buy the digital copy, it's dead to me. God forbid I have to put a Blu-Ray in my PS5 or even worse, the only way it's available is DVD. *shudder*
