Great show

[team filler]

future man seas 3 was better than 2, good ending too 

[toku]

[Tasty]

Oh shit new episodes?

[CatsCatsCats]

I liked it. You know that if I like it and filler likes it, actually that doesn’t mean shit

[toku]

future man seas 3 was better than 2, good ending too 

I bushed the show because  s2 was so bad but if you believe in it I'll give it a try

Season 2 sucks dude, you know I'm with you so it's not light when I say season 3 is just as good if not better than 1. It's a really strong finish after not expecting anything decent at all. Wolf is great but everyone shined. Was heartfelt again.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Watched Evil, because I generally like the Kings work (Good Wife / Good Fight / Brain Dead) and it was pretty interesting.

Its a borderline horror anthology slash mystery of the week of a trio of people demon hunting for the catholic church, but two of them are Scully, and it never lands fully on anything being supernatural with plausible explanations for almost everything that happens given, and all the monster makeup effects saved for dream sequences / hallucinations.

It looks like it got renewed for a second season whenever that will be, which is good because I'd like to see where they're going with it.

It's pretty strongly implied one of the main cast straight up murdered a dude in the last episode off camera.

Is Future Man really that good?

[toku]

For you? It might become a foundational piece of media for the next evolution of your character.

Just power through the second season, s3 is great.

[shosta]

well if it'll catalyze another flimsy shtick, how could I possibly say no

[Crash Dummy]

The midnight gospel- stoned teenager tier dialogue paired with surreal lol so random visuals, I liked it

[Transhuman]

I don't know if tv changed or I changed

[shosta]

You guys are tripping on Future Man Season 2. Just finished it. It had a different tempo and all the best character development was in the first season but the show got smarter and there were puns... so many puns.

[Dickie Dee]

What We Do in the Shadows is really firing on all cylinders right now in a way few shows have

[BlueTsunami]

Heard the first season was alright. Upswing in writing?

[shosta]

Finished with Future Man. Crazy ass but amazing show, thanks all

[toku]

the growth

Dammit circumcision might be unnatural, but it's better. Like a facelift for dicks.

Six seasons and a Zoom call!

[Tasty]

First ep of season 3 of Westwhirl is even dumber than I expected. It might as well be a completely different show altogether, and one that sucks just as much

I loved season 3.

Until the finale, which was absolute trash.

[Tasty]

I remember bits of s2 but most of it from the last episode, and that's really all you need going into season 3 which is a partial reboot almost.

[Pissy F Benny]

i liked series 1 and stopped giving a fuck halfway thru series 2 and have watched none of series 3, but can anyone be really be shocked that a jj abrhams joint winds up being:

[chronovore]

S4e6 of Rick and Morty, I guess the “mid season premiere,” was pretty fantastic. The religious solution caused an epic LOL.

No new Riverdale episodes is bumming me out.

[Don Rumata]

I also liked Rick & Morty ep 6, but ep7 was sort of bland.
Still a fun show overall.
-
I finished Ozark, second half of the season definitely picked up the pace, and Ben was a character with an interesting arc (and tough-to-watch couple of scenes).
However i'm getting tired for the hillbilly characters, they're transitioning from "a bit dumb" to "conveniently stupid", and they are really failing to show how Mama Snell still manages to have all this supposed clout.
Overall, it does feel like they're spinning wheels somewhat, but not to the point when i'm tuning out yet, i think Marty and (especially) Wendy, are still compelling characters worth exploring.
Finally, i tolerated the kids before, but i'm also starting to wish a stray shot gets Jonah in the back of the head.

Thank you, Don.

What We Do In The Shadows S2 is still pretty good. Might not be funniest show out there, but it's good laughs. Last night's Jackie Daytona ep was loooooool

[team filler]

anybody watch homecoming? I see seas 2 has janelle monae and she makes me want to watch  but seas 1 is julia roberts 

[Cryo]

was about to ask the same, season 2 doesn't have Esmail da gawd but janelle monae 

[Nintex]

Started watching Casa de Papel.

Was on my watch list but never got around to it. Binged about 3 episodes, Good shit. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Upload is pretty funny with just enough plot to keep it goin

I did, months ago.
Julia Roberts is actually quite good in it, and of course it's really visually striking.
The script alternates from pretty good to ok, down to sloppy.
And you have Shea Whigham playing his typecast nervous government dork.

To be honest i wasn't particularly engaged throughout, and i'm not sure i'll return for a second season, but if the subject matter gets to you, it's not bad, plus the episodes are about 20 minutes, so it doesn't drag.

Also i couldn't stand more than 1 season of Mr.Robot, so maybe his writing style just isn't for me.

Started watching Casa de Papel.

Was on my watch list but never got around to it. Binged about 3 episodes, Good shit. 

I started season 4 a couple of weeks back.
Season 1 & 2 (which in Spain are 1 season?) are pretty fun, and decent camp.
3, and now 4, pump the stupidity to levels beyond reason, and turn into straight up "so bad it's good" shit with, unfortunately, soap opera elements of forced romantic drama.

But yeah, it's entertaining garbage and almost all of the characters turn into insufferable cunts, both good and bad guys.

[Bebpo]

Finished Legion S3, man that show was a mess after S1. Some good stuff in there but just tonally all over the place and so much style filler. Navid Negahban, Bill Irwin were fantastic throughout. Dan Stevens was good but also annoying in the later seasons. It's not a terrible show but maybe would've worked better as just a one season thing.

[Madrun Badrun]

The Blacklist is so fucking dumb.

[CatsCatsCats]

Really is dude, I dropped that. Go watch Upload, it’s funny

[Madrun Badrun]

TBH I'm only watching it cause my back drugs keep knocking me out and I don't mind if I sleep through half an episode.  But compared to bones or the mentalist (both of which I never finished), this is off the rails dumb already 5 episodes in. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Oh, yeah it’s great for “ I might fall asleep”

[Pissy F Benny]

I used to watch it here and there, it was perfectly fine braindead television

[Stoney Mason]

Started watching season 1 of what we do in the shadows. Seems funny so far. Doesn't lose what made the movie funny so far in like 6 episodes.

[Bebpo]

Started on Devs, holy heck this is good. People on fb seemed kinda meh on the final ep when this was airing, so will keep expectations down at the end, but early on this is excellent.

And those are probably the weakest eps as the cast/show was finding its groove. Very consistent after that.

[EightBitNate]

Rewatching Avatar. Just as good as I remember

[shosta]

I'm on the second ep of S3 of Ozark and it doesn't make any sense.

[brawndolicious]

I'm on the second ep of S3 of Ozark and it doesn't make any sense.

Well basically:

Season 3 of Ozarks will break your heart and drift your porn.

Not in the way you expect.

[shosta]

drift... my porn?

[Mandark]

Oh, that's an oldie.

I'm on the second ep of S3 of Ozark and it doesn't make any sense.

This show is sort of bullshit, but having just watched season 4 of Money Heist, i've kind of reframed my whole spectrum of "absolutely demented writing".
Whoever is writing this nonsense must have stopped giving a shit 2 seasons ago.

I also noticed how they went from (essentially) glorifying a rapist and not being shy about their gratuitous ass shots, in season 1, to shoehorning some very clumsy feminist/progressive thematics (or i should say "throaway lines") as a mea culpa in this one. 

[shosta]

I can't believe you used to have to buy your porn from another human being

[Bebpo]

Started on Devs, holy heck this is good. People on fb seemed kinda meh on the final ep when this was airing, so will keep expectations down at the end, but early on this is excellent.

So 3eps in now and my only annoyance is ep1 had amaaazing music straight out of Xenogears/Saga/Blade with gregorian chants mixed with technology, sci-fi and religion. 3 composers were listed.

Ep2/3 soundtrack doesn't have any of that and only 2 composers listed, so I guess maybe they only got that gregorian hymns guy for the pilot which sucks because it gave it an incredible feel.

Otherwise still awesome. And pretty sure Garland is a xeno~ fan. He's definitely a gamer.

watched & really enjoyed Upload this weekend, seems like it has a lot of room to grow in season 2 and the characters are all pretty likeable.

[Joe Molotov]

Straight guys who like cheeseburger porn.

Oof, ban this transphobic scumbag, mods pls.

I can't believe you used to have to buy your porn from another human being

This is still the case but now the transaction is logged on 300 different servers worldwide to prevent you from holding office

Ozark 3-3. I'm so fucking stressed out

[shosta]

Season 3 of Ozarks will ... drift your porn.

I did NOT want to see this

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

They just started airing the Harley Quinn cartoon here, and it is weird as fuck.

Remember when Hanna Barbera realised it had a ton of IPs that people kinda sorta recognised but did not give a single fuck about, so they went all weird and self referential and you got stuff like space ghost coast to coast and harvey birdman attorney at law, and eventually landing at full on self parody with the Venture Bros?

It's like that. Except its the actual DC universe and actual DC characters.
An actual plot point is Dr Psycho gets #cancelled because he calls Wonder Woman a cunt in the middle of a fight.

 

[shosta]

It doesn’t get any less stressful lol

I'm still binging this and I am so. fucking. stressed.

[team filler]

[shosta]

I'm done. Everything is so fucked up
