The TV shows you've seen recently thread.

No crossovers (apart from Misty) and it's set post defenders, doesnt really touch defenders in depth but the conflict of the show is a result of defenders and season 1 iron fist.

I disliked Iron Fist s1, except I'd prolly watch Colleen Wing in her own series. I'm angry that she's just a support character for a milquetoast Danny Rand. I liked Defenders slightly better, and was happy with the adaptation of the Elektra arc into the MCU. But your review counts as damning with faint praise for me.

[Momo]

You're in luck Iron Fist season 2 is basically Colleen Wing the series, I loved it for that.

JJ season 1 is top tier TV. 

[Assimilate]

Was bored and wanted some popcorn fun:

15min into Avengers infinity war turned it off

tried Solo and turned it off within 10min.


How you menchildren continue to watch this garbage i don't know. Avengers is especially lacking in mental fortitude. Do none of you notice that these actors are bored to death of playing superheros? At this point they are pretty much collecting a massive check while shootin the shit with each other.

i'm glad Netflix are dumb enough to drop American Vandal, Bojack, and Norm on the same day so i can blow through all of them in a week and finally cancel my sub

Not being able to enjoy movies is a sign of depression bro;  you can talk to us.

Also this is the TV Show thread not the movie thread; depressiona and anxiety can cause confusion though so I'm not surprised.

shit wrong thread.

Is I Feel Bad the Bore series of the season?

If DCU keeps adding shows at this pace it may eventually be worth it for that alone (though Titans looks like a misfire.)

Is the first any good?

[TVC15]

Just started Riverdale.

I wasn't expecting anything too special, but holy shit, one episode in and this show is amazing on every level.

I think the only person here who hyped it up was TVC, who mainly wanted Jughead to fuck him.

The first season is pretty great regardless of the sexiness of the cast. The second season is a mess (twice as many episodes and less time to make it) but it’s a pretty fun mess. It half-assedly burns through like two and a half mini arcs and individual characters are written really inconsistently, but it stays engaging even when things don’t quite make sense. Season 3 needs to pick it up, though.

It's great. Todd really cracked me up and overall the comedy was spot on. Love getting more of the characters but it might be running out of places to go with regards to BoJack himself.

He's a junkie again. Which I guess is true to life for addicts but may not be compelling as story advancement.

There's so much going on in the backgrounds,all the production team must be having a blast. I loved that Todd has Cordovia time alongside LA in his office (and that it obviously isn't coherent with any timezones ).

[Momo]

watched the first four EPS, it's a heavy drama set to a backdrop of space exploration. Imagine defying gravity without all the space whale shit

bojack's character might be the best example of narcissism i've seen on a tv show so re: your spoiler, it'll be interesting where the next season picks up from.

although when he and gina do the interview after he strangles her and she begs him to play along and not come clean, i honestly thought he come clean anyway to keep gina tied to him, especially when she literally says that it would mean her career would be defined by him doing that to her. on the other hand, maybe he only did it to preserve his identity or overwhelming shame?

and yes, the little gags going on like the praying mantis hooker sprinkling salt on guys she's soliciting, are brilliant

Re: always sunny lookin bad

Danny DeVito, dude is almost 74 and he deliberately doesn't do anything to make himself look better for the show

it's also worth noting that the makeup and lighting on the show is done to make them look subtly worse every few seasons

i actually wouldn't be surprised if you went back and watched the first episode of the season if they all don't look better, especially are dressed better/cleaner, when Mindy is in charge compared to the end when the Dennis bot has taken over...wouldn't be the first time the show has done that...same with the bar possibly too

Finished The Night Manager. I thought it was breathtaking and fantastic. Some real surprises and suspense. A great ride. Hard to believe Hugh Laurie suffers from low self worth. The man is astounding.

Man Ozark is pretty sweet; just got into Season 2, Season 1 was a wild ride.

I really didn’t like parts of season 1. Something about it bugged me, but I really liked season 2. It found its rhythm.

[chronovore]

I finished s1 of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. By the end, Landis' riff on Douglas Adams' source material is pretty well done. Dourif is a treasure. I want to see her do more stuff. The woman playing Farah, the bodyguard/failed agency worker, doesn't hit the right notes for me. There's a HUGE issue with Landis shortcutting a bunch of procedural stuff, and also unrealistic emotional reactions, to the point where it was quite distracting. I'll watch s2, hope they get their stuff straightened out.

[Momo]

Maniac was excellent, I didn't really dig the conclusion but everything up to there was amazing. Just marathoned Bodyguard (BBC show) get in here lads show is a must watch.

season 1 was the best, so I'd temper that expectation, tbh I loved the show all the way. Also she's in the purge and some other stuff, I had the same reaction to her, will watch whatever else she shows up in.

I only have like 5 Are You Afraid of the Dark eps left. You turdlings better come through with something to watch.

Finally caught up on the last 3 episodes of Better Call Saul.

Oh shit. I should catch up.  There were two weak eps in a row and zi kinda stopped watching.

[Nintex]

Also watched the first episode of Norm's thing.
He just let's David Spade ramble on for 30 minutes. But some of it was legit hilarious and classic Norm.

Spade thought the episode was just a try-out and wouldn't be aired, if you're wondering what level of quality to expect overall.

I loved it but plot wise they stalled a bit; they picked things up.

They 'meta' stalled it. Just like the show stalled so did the characters. I didn't notice it was intentional until after the intro of the last episode.

GENIUS

I got high and watched a few eps last week. Amazing experience.

You get all the nostalgia, but the weed reduces your mind so that you're also kinda seeing it with fresh eyes. And that can minorly spoop you out too.

I hate this show. Hate hate hate it.

Anyway, Maniac is worth it for Justin Theroux’s intro scene alone.

[EightBitNate]

I want to watch Maniac but I feel like Jonah Hill’s loose skin will bother me.

[shosta]

It's a bit too theatrical for me. Like someone really liked West Wing but didn't have anything interesting to write about.

[CatsCatsCats]

Maniac was good, I enjoyed it

One time TVC choked me out until I was unconscious, and I woke up in full bondage with my face super glued to his asshole for three days.

That was consensual. Imagine what he'd do to you.

Down to the last two episodes and jeez Maniac goes downhill after ep 2 or 3.

The conclusion is kinda lame and they spent too much time on the gangster and elf shit. I still liked it though

The conclusion is kinda lame and they spent too much time on the gangster and elf shit. I still liked it though

The thing about the gangster and elf shit is that as it gets more into that, it feels less comedic as it goes on. There are still funny payoffs, but they’re not frequent, and the show displayed a good weird mix of comedy abd drama early on. The stuff with Theroux and stuff tends to be funnier, but I’m just not very interested in those characters given the screen time they are given.

This applies to the early eps I liked, too: I think the show is a notch too twee, which I guess isn’t surprising considering Eternal Sunshine and Her’s fingers are all over this. I dub this tweely loose-but-close-to-real-scifi genre “science fictional realism.”

[TVC15]

Ok, finished Maniac.

Review: That was about two good hours and seven-ish progressively worse hours. And I’m really trying not to criticize his appearance, but Jonah’s face looks weird.
