At this point I hate Ed as much as I do every person on BSG so it is fitting.

For a second I thought something fun was going to happen on this episode of Monarch, but I was wrong. It's hilarious that Wyatt Russell's character gets back to the real world, discovers that he has been gone for twenty years, and then decides to sit in a retirement home for forty years straight, with no explanation why

Don't click this spoiler if you haven't played the second game: Like, it's one thing that she's going to kill Joel, but now she's going to kill Joel played by a beloved actor. She will get hate both from fans of the show and from people who's thirsty for Pedro Pascal. I’m looking forward to that scene so much.

Schmigadoon! has been cancelled https://tvline.com/news/schmigadoon-cancelled-season-3-not-returning-apple-tv-plus-1235003518/ I thought season two was disappointing, and didn’t have the humor or catchy songs of the first one, but I still wouldn’t have minded more.

I re-watched The Little House on the Prairie some years back, the show is surprisingly dark, kids and babies are just dying left and right. Mr. Edwards is the best.

The first season of The Bear is pretty hard to watch unless you really enjoy intense arguments and constant confrontations, it’s good but not pleasant.

The first season was good and had a great cast, though you could argue that the supernatural angle took away from the story, I didn’t finish the second season.

SunshineDanceParty posted:I loved it but it's a hard show to describe if you don't love the leads and what they've done previously already. That may have been the issue, I was familiar with Donald Glover by name, but have never really seen anything with him in it, and didn’t know Maya Erskine at all. I finished the show, and I thought it decent overall.

You can think that one side is far superior to the other while also acknowledging the fact that there is a very real chance that either candidate will die of old age while in office, and that is a problem.

Khanstant posted:That still sounds like a long contract, I'm sure you're referencing something much worse, but I would still pray this is one and done. In the early days, the actors signed up for nine movies, and Marvel went away from that. But I don't see the issue, he obviously has no problems starring in popular pop culture stuff, Marvel is no different than Mandalorian and The Last of Us.

I'm watching Will Trent because I saw that Clark Gregg was going to guest star in it this season, 10 minutes in and it's pretty bad. Also watching Allegiance because Enrico Colantoni is one of the stars, it's not good but at least it's watchable.

Based purely on that one episode I get the impression that the series was written for an actor with tons of natural charisma, instead what I saw in the screen was a semi-autistic guy which every other character is constantly praising.

Hakkesshu posted:Haven't seen a ton of talk about it here, but Monsieur Spade is really good and I feel like it needs more attention. It's an awful name and it's stuck on AMC+ as far as I know, so it's totally understandable why no one is watching it, but it's a good remedy for the loss of Perry Mason. Beautifully shot, Clive Owen rocks, the dialogue is really sharp, and there are a lot of biting conversations with really sleazy French people, what's not to like That is indeed a bad name and i wasn’t a big fan of Perry Mason, but I will give it a shot because of Clive Owen

I still don't quite get why people hated the finale, I thought it was on the same level as the season as a whole, above average. But I have also not really watched any other True Detective.

kiminewt posted:I was talking to my friend about the first couple of episodes of ATLA and she brought up the removal of Sokka's sexism (and to a lesser extent some things about Zoku) and said she feels like it stems from society being unable to display "transgressions" anymore and let people grow and change from them cuz cancel culture blah blah blah. I just assumed that since Avatar is an expensive show to make it’s probably going to have very few episodes compared to the original. So Sokka being a bit of a moron at first was just one of the easy things to cut for time.

That was a good episode of Halo, it's always nice when a show noticeably improves.kiminewt posted:I think people are mostly just angry with live action remakes because they feel like they're saying "here, now it's actually legitimate and not a stupid cartoon for babies" This is not an issue with Avatar, but there are several cartoons I would like to see being remade for live-action because I can't stand the style of animation, this is partly because I'm an old fan who doesn't like much modern animation. Ultimately the original cartoon will still be there, and maybe some people can enjoy the live-action version more, or even better they watch the live action and then the cartoon.

Open Source Idiom posted:Also speaking of trailers, is it just me or is there absolutely no effort to the trailers for the King's new show, Elsbeth. It's airing next week and there's been one trailer based on the pilot, and a Superbowl spot. Maybe Americans have a different vibe, and youse can't spit for fear of drenching a building sized poster of Carrie Preston's face, but it seems like there's no confidence behind the show, which is a shame because The Good Wife but Columbo, starring Preston sounds good. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ2WX99QXXY I feel like this is a character that works best in small doses, so I’m not sure how she will do with a full show, but I will give it a shot.

It's always nice to see actors you like have surprise roles in TV shows you are watching, I just realized that James D'Arcy is in Constellation, and Ken Leung is in Avatar.

Some day Hollywood will learn how to write kids who aren't incredibly annoying, but they didn't manage it for Constellation. There is much too much focus on the main character's family, and I don't want to spend 8 hours waiting to see if the story will make sense.

The latest episode of Halo was the best one yet, and it hardly had any fighting. It's a little wild that a show that was aggressively mediocre bordering on bad, is now good.

I'm four episodes into Monsieur Spade and Clive Owen is carrying this show on his back, I like it enough to continue but I've lost track of the number of Pierre's the show expects me to keep track of and care about, and the plot isn't super interesting.

For some reason I thought The Talented Mr. Ripley was that movie where death turns into Brad Pitt, so I was completely unfamiliar with the story in the trailer, I might give it a shot purely because of Andrew Scott.
