Master_Odin posted:Has Fox or ABC announced their own streaming platforms they're going to leave Hulu for similar to NBC? Is Hulu's time to live limited? Fox and ABC are owned by Disney. I would think Disney would continue putting stuff on Hulu that they don't think are a right fit for Disney+. Dear Victor was originally developed for Disney+, but they thought it was too risque, so they moved it to Hulu. I want to say it was the same also for the High Fidelity remake starring Zoe Kravitz?

Wolfsheim posted:I'm still watching the Ozarks and deep into S2 it still seems like the cartel would have just killed every character and burned their homes to the ground rather than be bothered letting this continue I think the issue is that Michael Bluth still owes them a ton of money to be laundered, and he's still the best at his job, so that's why he's still alive?

Adrianics posted:I keep trying to get into Ozark and am midway through S2, my main beef is that there's no reason whatsoever for every episode to be a full hour long and that the notional lead is by some distance the least interesting character. It would be a decent bingeable show at a brisk 40 minutes apiece, rather than cramming in that goddamned old man that refuses to die as if I'm supposed to give a poo poo. I'm pretty sure that the old man dies pretty soon, and don't they send the daughter away? And Laura Linney's crazy brother is killed off at some point. So that drops a couple of the more tedious storylines.

Edward Mass posted:Fox Corporation owns Fox. That's why Fox News hasn't changed! Ah, okay. I just looked it up, and it's a little complicated. Disney bought the 20th Century Fox film and television studios, cable channels like FX, Fox Network Group (which oversees international tv properties bought by 20th Century Fox), and Fox's 30% stake in Hulu. Fox Broadcasting, Fox Television Networks, Fox News, and Fox Sports are owned by the Fox Corporation. I thought that only Fox News and Fox Sports were spun off from the merger, I thought Disney now owned the syndicated Fox channels as well.

I just finished season 2 of Cheer on Netflix. I'm sure it's not exactly something on the radar of most people in this crowd, but it had a huge cultural moment at the start of 2020 right before lockdown. It was a fascinating look in the world of competitive collegiate cheerleading, and you got to know some of these teammates with great personalities, and you really wanted to root for them. So they started filming season 2, right before COVID. So between that, a fan favorite member of the cheer team from season 1 getting arrested for soliciting minors, and the fact that this is a community college so people are only there for 2 years, by the time filming picked up, almost everyone we knew from season 1 was gone. They split the season between them, and their rival community college down the road in the middle of nowhere Texas, so we couldn't spend enough time on both teams to really get to know any of the new people. I wouldn't really recommend watching it.

No, but they actually murder people and later create a cult that results in a zombie apocalypse destroying 99% of humans on Earth

LampkinsMateSteve posted:It really surprises me that Station Eleven is not getting more of a reaction. I see how people can not enjoy parts of it, but it is so self contained and only 10 episodes to tell a great story -- it's not that big a commitment. Apocalypse fatigue. We've just had so much of it over the last 12 years or so (mostly thanks to The Waking Dead), it took several episodes for Station Eleven to really differentiate itself. By the end I was absolutely enthralled, but the first few episodes were a bit of a slog to get through. I can see how a lot of people would just be turned off.

My thing with Netflix and their original content, in the first few years that they were creating original content, they were trying to be taken seriously, and were putting a lot of effort into making sure that it was both original, and quality. They had a few misses, but maybe around 2015, if Netflix was coming out with a new show, you'd make a point to sit down and watch it. Now they're just churning out so much utter poo poo, and only maybe 1 out of maybe 20 new shows is actually worth checking out.

I'm watching The Gilded Age on HBO, the new show from the creator of Downtown Abbey. I don't have much hope given how quickly Downton Abbey went to poo poo. I do like the cast, Christine Baranski and Carrie Coon. But everyone looks like they filmed each scene on a green screen.

Starks posted:I put off watching it because of the whole pandemic angle, but so many people told me it was really good that I finally got past it. However, the opening episode was pretty much as on-the-nose as I feared, even if it was just a coincidence. I have the book, but just couldn't get into it and gave up after a couple of chapters, so I didn't know the differences. Reading the wikipedia summary, it looks like they changed A LOT with the show.

George H.W. oval office posted:Oh poo poo Upload season 2 is in March? Hell yea 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? veni veni veni posted:Station 11 was great, but some of the stuff with the prophet just didn't work at all imo. It wasn't enough to drag the show down too much but there's just too many plot holes and hand waves going on there. Everything surrounding him felt sort of ridiculous in an otherwise grounded show. I read a summary for the book the other day, and the prophet is handled very differently: He's actually raping all those kids that follow him, and Kirsten actually kills him, there is no happy reunion with his mother.

mcmagic posted: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.

thatfuturekid posted:On another note, we finished Lovecraft Country, and I have to say, what an odd loving show. I know that it's supposed to come off as "pulp-y", but the mix of race relations of the time, with Once-style magic spells just created such an un-even tone. And I don't consider myself a dumb person, but god forbid I walked away for a minute, I would completely lose track of what the hell was going on. Though, some of the body horror stuff was SPOT ON, especially a certain scene in a dark alleyway. You're not dumb, you lost track of what was going on because it's a legitimately terrible, and messy show. A friend who read the book and watched the show said they messed it up because it's full of different stories happening to different characters, and the show decided to streamline it by having each of the different wild stories happen to the same characters 3 or 4 characters. The first episode was fantastic and thrilling, but it became a complete mess after that, and I still cannot comprehend why it was so highly praised when it was on the air. Papercut posted:Watched The Last Duel, it was very solid. It dragged a bit and I felt like some of the scene repetition could've been cut, but the performances were great and the costumes/sets/action were all great. I believe the repetitive scenes were all slightly different depending on the perspective of the person's story in that moment.

Sock The Great posted:The scene is The Suicide Squad where they discuss what dog breed Weasel is made me laugh harder than anything else in 2021 and it also gave us Peacemaker; for those reasons alone it’s a 10/10. It's the exact same joke that they made about Rocket Raccoon in GotG and Avengers. Edit: Here's maybe a not so hot take about Encanto on Disney+. While I absolutely love the movie and it had me grinning from ear to ear from start to finish, one thing that bothers me is that, despite all their efforts to show what a loving family this is, in reality they're pretty incredibly emotionally abusive. They talk about what a gift each person's special powers is, and then when it comes to Bruno and Mirabel, they're a curse to the family. Not the manipulative Tia Pepa who forces everyone to be at her every beck and call lest she cause a thunderstorm in the living room, or the emotionally cold and withholding grandmother who treats you like poo poo and that you don't exist if you don't have powers or less than becoming powers. It takes the threat of everyone losing their powers before they learn the lesson not to treat their family like poo poo. It's kind of depressing in some ways.

Paramount Plus has been doing The Real World Homecoming where they reunite the casts of former seasons in the original house they filmed in. So far they've only done seasons 1 (New York) and 2 (LA), and it was unclear where they would go from here. Danny Roberts from season 9 (New Orleans) just confirmed that his cast filmed season 3 of Homecoming last fall, and that it will air later this year. As a gay elder millennial, Danny was a gay awakening for closeted 16 year old me, and over the years I've talked to many of my friends who felt the exact same way about him. I am very excited to see this one.
