Oh wow this show is incredible, just finished E01 and E02, didn't realise four dropped at once, can't wait to watch the rest, really hope this show does well. I love the extended run times and the throwback to episode of the week TV. The format really lets the characters and stories breathe and its all filmed so beautifully and with great character actors I could watch this forever. I could do without the serialised aspect at all, I presume at some point she becomes a full time PI, randomly running into murders seems like it would quickly get old. Smallest of griped for E01/E02: Some of the clues are a bit too heavy-handed. I'm thinking the thing with the gun and the metal detector would have been better if the camera didn't focus on both the gun being taken away and the metal detector for so long, and similarly the scratch-card serial number bit was way over explained, I'd prefer a bit cleverer solutions. But overall I love this show. I enjoyed the Knives Out films but this is by far my favourite thing from him, much prefer the smaller more realistic slice of life scale to this than Knives Out's campy larger than life-ness. After that and this I'm craving some good classic detective stuff and I've never seen anything, any suggestions? I know Colombo is the main influence and the first one I'll check out.

I got half way through ep 3, loving the running gag of presumably increasingly showing why this dog was a piece of poo poo and not to feel bad for it being bludgeoned to death.

I think she should have clarified when she emailed all the players about the cheating, she also added in the emails, "btw if I disappear its because he killed me for leaking this". That's all it would have took for it to make sense why she was so confident.

Chairman Capone posted:Also, from his Wiki entry, lol at the fact that that actor was the third-highest paid TV actor in 2018. It really is crazy how popular Big Bang Theory got. Must be pretty awesome to make that sitcom money for so long and then just be able to drop into semi-anonymous roles doing whatever you want rather than being typecast like Leonard and Sheldon.

I'm a few episodes into Columbo too, tempted to just find a best of list and skip through to the best episodes and also check out the more recent ones just out of curiosity. A few episodes have been great (the Spielberg one), but a couple have been real stinkers like this Leslie Nielson episode, seems like a show that can vary wildy with the amount of talent in a given episode. I know there were two pilots first, but one part thats great is how spot on Columbo's personality is right from day one. Only takes one episode to get his whole vibe. I love how it seems there's a running thing where you are never really sure what is real about his personality. Is he actually quirky/bumbling a bit in his real life, or is his small talk 100% fake and he actually spots the murderer first thing each time and hates these people?

Snooze Cruise posted:There is one very important cast member you have yet to meet, though sadly they are not in every episode. Fair enough I'll just watch in order and make it last! I'm interested in seeing some of the knew stuff even if they ruin it, its always interesting seeing how a show develops over time, and believe me I've stuck with some bad stuff, I recently watched Kung Fu, and then some of the 90's spin-off Kung Fu: The Legend Continues which has the insane premise of David Carradine now playing his own characters grandson set in the present day, so I'm ready for some bad quality entertainment.

Holy poo poo the amount of plot and the way everything was wrapped up in this episode was masterful. I even did fall for Charlie’s death at the end and I was thinking wtf is this the end of the show? Series finale with the vegas guys finding out what Gordon levitt did or something.

Thanks, I’ve heard loads of versions but that’s such a good cover, the score underneath really adds something to it, it’s got Jim Croce vibes. Been listening to that Blues Traveller song on repeat since too, and agreed it’s awesome except the whole whitest rap ever bit.

That penis ring prop really didn’t look like it would be hard to take off or hard enough to do that to an eye.

Yeah finding the chips felt like overkill, she should have just figured it out.
