All of Us are Dead is another pretty good Korean show on Netflix. It's not going to be the same kind of hit that Squid Game was but I'm always down for original zombie content.

The new boba fett episode was sweet

You know a show is kinda meh when BY FAR the best episode of the season is basically an episode of another, better show (that the titular character doesn't appear in) lol

I got a free trial of Paramount Plus to watch the AFCCG. Give me some good stuff to watch on there before I cancel it please.

It's truly garbage that you can watch games on FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network streaming with just your cable subscription and CBS makes you buy their extra tier.

Euphoria this season is kinda bad. I don't care about any of the plot lines and it's basically just a really long music video that is very impressed with itself.

We're like 3 episodes in. That first episode was fantastic with Cassie in the bathroom, it was scarier than any horror film I've seen in many years.

I think I posted here how much I liked the first episode. Just has been downhill since then IMO.

I finished All of Us are Dead. Very uneven, more YA than I thought it would be. It could have been cut by half if they didn't introduce that weird plot twist, because the only purpose the plot device served was to stretch the series length by introducing a new villain.

The 6 episode model for UK shows is highly underrated.

Cassie's spot getting blown up offhandedly after weeks of tense sneaking around made me legitimately laugh out loud

I expect this drug dealer situation to be resolved very abruptly by some contrivance though, it doesn't really seem like a show where the plot will get in the way of the vibes

The cassie scene was the best part of the whole episode. So soooo good. When she tells rue you have to take it one day at a time i almost spit out my coke zero.

All of us are Dead kinda peters out at toward the end and they tease a 2nd season that I have literally zero interest in.

Watched Fresh last night. It was good, but it's been driving me insane trying to figure out who the main girl character looks like. She's got some Mary Elizabeth Winstead in there, but that's not who I'm thinking of.

She's very good in Normal People too.

that last 20 minutes was some good poo poo

I don't recall seeing the two leads before but I recognize their names... what else have they been in that I should check out? I really liked both of them

Daisy Edgar Jones was in Normal People on Hulu and is very good in that as well. You should watch that. Sebastian Stan is the second most boring Avenger and was very boring in many different Marvel movies and TV shows but YMMV on those.

Brocktoon posted:

I guess I will be the contrarian and say Fresh was...fine? I guess? It didn't go anywhere unexpected once the conceit of the movie was revealed. It just seems like extremely tame body horror that's going to get hype because people who don't watch hosed up movies are going to watch it and OMG this movie is so fuuuuuuuucked uuuuuuppp!!!!" There were much more explicit things in an episode of Hannibal and that was network TV.

Personally, I would have MUCH rather had the story of the woman who lost her leg to cannibalism, but then married and had kids with Sebastian Stan.

It does feel like it was WAYYYY less graphic than it could have been.

Jesus loving christ, Severance is a piling trash heap of poo poo. For everyone who has seen people in this thread talk about how amazing it is because it provides answers, it's all lies. In 8 episodes, absolutely jack poo poo happens. No answers are provided. It's just mysteries built upon mysteries. Strange poo poo happens just to happen. Just as I thought we were about to see something happen in the final episode, it ends. gently caress Ben Stiller and gently caress this show. I watched 8 episodes on the promise that poo poo would happen and that it would get good. It never did.

I like Severance but I'm worried that they are going to end the season without any real exposition about what is going on and that would suck.

Glottis posted:

the Severance finale was intense and ends on a massive cliffhanger. Adjust your expectations accordingly. It's huge progress for the story but does not answer everything.

So many great moments that were well earned, though. I especially loved how innie Mark considers his real brother in law to be a visionary and his brother in law was super confused

It really didn't advance the story from the cliffhanger from the previous episode. It was a very good hour of TV though.

I guess the point they were making at the end of Ozark was that basically every elite family in America did all the same poo poo that the Byrds did and got away with all of it which of course is true.

Watched the first episode of the new Star Trak show (Strange New Worlds) and I found it to be exceedingly cringeworthy in multiple places. The acting was fine, the visuals were nice, but man the plot was so incredibly convoluted and it seems like they crammed 5 episodes worth of story into 45 minutes. And then you have any moment of seriousness (the pilot features the crew making first contact with an alien species and saving them from annihilating their own world) completely undermined by the most eye rolling jokes imaginable. Star Trek doesn't have to be grimdark but it doesn't have to be whatever this is, either. Also the hairstyles are distractingly bad.

Star Trek has always been varying levels of cringe. The new Trek shows are like over the top woke too but this one is going to be the best of them by a good deal I think.

IDK if I missed this discussion earlier in the thread but Pachinko is really great and Lee Min Ho is one charismatic motherfucker. When I started watching it I wasn't sure how they were going to drag it out for more than one season but now I can easily imagine it going to planned 4 without getting boring.
