The TV shows you've seen recently thread.

[Madrun Badrun]

It doesn't.  It's enjoyable enough though and I liked seeing Miles O'Brien in it.  I watched that covid south park special (which was terrible) and the new lethal weapon episode of Sunny on the same night and it really made me appreciate Sunny's growth even when it's an aged show.

Man Dexter true blood banged out the hits, except for that one episode they didn't show.

Haven't been brave enough to watch it. Everything post season 2 has scarred me for life. Doakes got done dirty!!!

I recently rewatched most of it, and it wasn't too bad, but like 80% of dexter happens in the first two seasons.

From what I understand it's a recent best-selling top-notch post-apocalyptic survival book that was adapted into a mini-series by HBO and adapted well into a top-notch show.

This looks like fun. Anyone watching it?

Euphoria is back. 

Hmm, I was really into it at first but a couple of bizarre character choices had me wondering whether it was a slicker, softcore edgy Degrassi. Not sure if it strikes the balance between being frank and honest about the struggles of adolescence and sleazy exploitation. Unfair, but the cringey Netflix movie he made with Zendaya and Denzel Jr forfeited the benefit of the doubt I was giving the show.

That being said, I watched the 2 special episodes the other night and the diner scene with Zendaya’s sponsor is good enough to make me think I might be too harsh on it.

Special #1 is the best episode of the show because it plays into Levinson's strengths. He's a very good director AND he writes good dialogue and gets good performances out of his cast. When Zendaya is monologuing it almost always works in the show. Good dialogue, good performance, good direction.

What Levinson is kinda of mediocre at is he can't write story plotting. It comes off as every edgy 90210/Degrassi/every HS show ever. The plot beats are really derivative and his Netflix movie had like no plot and was just dialoguing fights for 2 hours with nice cinematography. I thought it was fun and looked great but could've been better.

Euphoria is a weird show in that there are eps in S1 that I thought were pretty bad/cringy because they were plot focused and it was exactly that. But then the next ep will be brilliant. So it's sort of a mess, but the highs are so high and the show is so damn stylish it's still one of my favorite shows in the last bunch of years.

The reviews for S2 are a good deal worse than S1 with critics seeing the first 5eps of 8. Makes me expect the plot writing to be as cringy this season as well.

[Nuitangg]

First half of Station Eleven is amazing. Surprised nobody's mentioned Yellowjackets.   Season finale is Sunday.

You got your colour coded hipster cybord moped squad, you got Merc Not-Chewbacca, you got the Backup Hutts, you've got Baby Rancor Mount (with Machete trainer included!).

On the other hand, if this is what was needed to create Firefly, I'm not sure we can complain.

edit: article: https://www.vulture.com/article/joss-whedon-allegations.html

A high-level member of the Buffy production team recalled Whedon’s habit of “writing really nasty notes,” but that wasn’t what disturbed her most about working with him. Whedon was rumored to be having affairs with two young actresses on the show. One day, he and one of the actresses came into her office while she was working. She heard a noise behind her. They were rolling around on the floor, making out. “They would bang into my chair,” she said. “How can you concentrate? It was gross.” This happened more than once, she said. “These actions proved he had no respect for me and my

n our second day of interviews, I asked Whedon about his affairs on the set of Buffy. He looked worse than he had the day before. His eyes were faintly bloodshot. He hadn’t slept well. “I feel fucking terrible about them,” he said. When I pressed him on why, he noted “it messes up the power dynamic,” but he didn’t expand on that thought. Instead, he quickly added that he had felt he “had” to sleep with them, that he was “powerless” to resist. I laughed. “I’m not actually joking,” he said. He had been surrounded by beautiful young women — the sort of women who had ignored him when he was younger — and he feared if he didn’t have sex with them, he would “always regret it.” Looking back, he feels shame and “horror,” he said. I thought of something he had told me earlier. A vampire, he’d said, is the “exalted outsider,” a creature that feels like “less than everybody else and also kind of more than everybody else. There’s this insecurity and arrogance. They do a little dance.”

Buffy ended in 2003, but his affairs did not. He slept with employees, fans, and colleagues. Eventually, his wife found out. In 2012, they split up. In Cole’s open letter to fans, she accused him of using feminism as a cover for his infidelities. “He always had a lot of female friends, but he told me it was because his mother raised him as a feminist, so he just liked women better,” she wrote. After learning he had been deceiving her for 15 years, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD, the same condition as him. “I want the people who worship him to know he is human,” she concluded.

I spoke with three women who dated Whedon after his marriage ended. In their stories, he was not the hero they had read about in the press, the one who wanted to see women in control; he was more like the cold-blooded men he depicted in his work. Sarah, a pseudonym, met Whedon when he was promoting Age of Ultron. She was a 22-year-old freelance writer who interviewed him for a pop-culture website; after the piece published, they began a sexual relationship. “He led me to believe he was single,” she said. One night she went out for drinks alone with a friend Whedon wanted her to meet. After the friend mentioned she had a long-term boyfriend, Sarah asked what his name was. “I’m dating Joss Whedon,” the woman replied. Sarah went into the bathroom and threw up. “What the fuck is he playing at?” she remembers thinking.

At first, the studio executives told Whedon his role would be restricted to writing and advising, but soon it became clear to Whedon they had lost faith in Snyder’s vision and wanted him to take full control. (A representative from Warner Bros. denied this. Snyder has publicly stated he left the project to spend time with his family; his daughter had died by suicide two months earlier.) Whedon, now installed in the director’s chair, oversaw nearly 40 days of reshoots, a complicated and laborious undertaking. From the start, things were tense between him and the stars. It wasn’t just that he wanted to impose a whole new vision on their work; he introduced an entirely different style of management. Snyder had given the actors exceptional license with the script, encouraging them to ad-lib dialogue. Whedon expected them to say their lines exactly as he’d written them. “That didn’t go down well at all,” one crew member told me. Some actors criticized his writing. By Whedon’s account, Gal Gadot, who played Wonder Woman, suggested that he, the director of the highest-grossing superhero movie at the time, didn’t understand how superhero movies worked. At one point, Whedon paused the shoot and, according to the crew member, announced that he had never worked with “a ruder group of people.” The actors fell silent.

The actors, at least some of them, felt Whedon had been rude, too. Ray Fisher, a young Black actor, played Cyborg; it was his first major role. Snyder had centered the film on his character — the first Black superhero in a DC movie — and he’d treated Fisher as a writing partner, soliciting his opinions on the film’s representations of Black people. Whedon downsized Cyborg’s role, cutting scenes that, in Fisher’s view, challenged stereotypes.​​ When Fisher raised his concerns about the revisions in a phone call, Whedon cut him off. “It feels like I’m taking notes right now,” Whedon told him, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “and I don’t like taking notes from anybody — not even Robert Downey Jr.”

Gadot didn’t care for Whedon’s style either. Last year, she told reporters Whedon “threatened” her and said he would make her “career miserable.” Whedon told me he did no such thing: “I don’t threaten people. Who does that?” He concluded she had misunderstood him. “English is not her first language, and I tend to be annoyingly flowery in my speech.” He recalled arguing over a scene she wanted to cut. He told her jokingly that if she wanted to get rid of it, she would have to tie him to a railroad track and do it over his dead body. “Then I was told that I had said something about her dead body and tying her to the railroad track,” he said. (Gadot did not agree with Whedon’s version of events. “I understood perfectly,” she told New York in an email.)

As for Whedon’s claim that he doesn’t threaten people, an actress on Angel told me that hadn’t been true back when she knew him. After her agent pushed for her to get a raise, she claims Whedon called her at home and said she was “never going to work for him, or 20th Century Fox, again.” Reading Gadot’s quote, she thought, “Wow, he’s still using that line.” (Whedon denied this too.)

Whedon says he cut down Cyborg’s role for two reasons. The story line “logically made no sense,” and he felt the acting was bad. According to a source familiar with the project, Whedon wasn’t alone in feeling that way; at test screenings, viewers deemed Cyborg “the worst of all the characters in the film.” Despite that, Whedon insists he spent hours discussing the changes with Fisher and that their conversations were friendly and respectful. None of the claims Fisher made in the media were “either true or merited discussing,” Whedon told me. He could think of only one way to explain Fisher’s motives. “We’re talking about a malevolent force,” he said. “We’re talking about a bad actor in both senses.”

Some of Whedon’s defenders proposed a theory: What if Fisher had been doing Snyder’s bidding? Without furnishing proof, they speculated that Snyder had tricked Fisher into thinking Whedon was racist. Or maybe Fisher knew perfectly well his allegations were bullshit. Either way, the actor and director had “manufactured a controversy” that made Snyder seem like a progressive ally while diverting attention from the fact that their early cut had been a disaster. Whedon’s advocates believed this campaign had poisoned Carpenter against Whedon, causing her to see the complicated story of their relationship as a simplistic narrative of abuse. “Once someone lights a fuse and people see there’s a flame, they run to it and throw stuff into it,” one person in Whedon’s circle said. (Snyder declined to be interviewed.)

In our conversations, Whedon was somewhat more circumspect. “I don’t know who started it,” he told me. “I just know in whose name it was done.” Snyder superfans were attacking him online as a bad feminist and a bad husband. “They don’t give a fuck about feminism,” he said. “I was made a target by my ex-wife, and people exploited that cynically.”

[Tuckers Law]

  To think that a self-proclaimed male feminist with an inflated ego would have so many skeletons in their closet?

[Madrun Badrun]

[Bebpo]

Finally finished Arcane. Show would've been so much better if it was self-contained. All the unresolved characters and plotlines really brought it down for me. Was good otherwise. Very anime but not anime.

[chronovore]

I'm about halfway through Helstrom on Disney+ and still trying to figure out how this could get canceled. I really like it.

[Madrun Badrun]

It was the last series of the old marvel TV wing.

[Crash Dummy]

titans s3 was as consistently shitty as it always has been, with maybe too much batman focus

finished expanse s6, seems to wrap up abruptly? has it been cancelled?

[archnemesis]

Yes, The Expanse is cancelled. Apparently it was too expensive to keep running.

[Don Rumata]

Finished the latest season of Always Sunny.

The Ireland episodes weren't all bad actually, even though the jokes were a bit too obvious and stale, it was better than the toothless, low hanging fruit topical stuff of the first ones.

The emotional side with Charlie though didn't really feel all that earned to me, because these characters are so spent at this point, they don't feel tridimensional anymore, still decent moment though.
I just don't think there's anything really left to say about this group of people.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm about halfway through Helstrom on Disney+ and still trying to figure out how this could get canceled. I really like it.

I think it being a comics property hurt it rather than helped it; the comics character is simultaneously kind of boring and also kind of an unlikable dick, and has never had an interesting or acclaimed run so it wasn't picking up any prebuilt audiences there, and anyone looking for a 2spoopy xfiles type show probably wasn't gonna be interested in something ostensibly based on the same stuff as the MCU is.

It's like I don't think Lucifer would have picked up an audience if it had made a big deal about BASED ON NEIL GAIMANS SANDMAN (which is a beloved character and acclaimed run and would have people mad it was a cop show with mild supernatural elements)

[Bebpo]

Peacemaker is ehh, ok. It's trying to hard to be a normal story-based comic book show and ...it's just a so-so one.

The best parts are when it's being stupid and gags. Show would've been better if it took itself less seriously and just was a dumb comedy. Outside of ep1, the rest of the eps so far feel like C-tier. Watchable but that's about it.

[D3RANG3D]

[Bebpo]

Finished Station Eleven

Fuuuuck that was good. Probably top10 TV shows of all time there. Gonna sweep the 2021 TV show awards for sure. I'm guessing it'll win overall best show, best lead actress, best score (goddamn that score by Dan Romer elevates every single scene), best adapted screenplay and will be up there for cinematography and directing. Maybe best supporting actor has a chance too.

I feel bad for the Last of Us show even if it's got good staff. Being a similar post-apocalyptic survival thing, also on HBO, coming a year after Station Eleven it is going to get compared hard, and I have a feeling it'll get stuck in the shadow of this. Oh well.

Also the title font is A++

It's too bad HBO doesn't do 4k or HDR/DV because that show is full of a lot of crisp nature shots of white snow and green brush. If they shot it in 4k (which I assume they did), if they ever release a physical 4k release of this I'd totally pick it up. Gorgeous show. Mackenzie Davis was so.freaking.good. Did not expect that from the few other things I've seen her in.

Station Eleven feels like the kind of once in a blue moon cinema events that are why the film format has been a global hit for over a hundred years. It's just why people watch movies & good TV.

And finished Ted Lasso S2 which was great, but Nate subplot was not so great. Still a quality show, had some good episodes/subplots but I think S1 was better and near flawless. Hopefully S3 is not too annoying in terms of some subplots. I saw a dating profile of someone that said they play D&D as a Goliath Barbarian based on Roy Kent and that sounds amazing haha.

Finishing up Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Fun little show. After this not sure what Star Wars thing I should watch next since I'm not a big SW fan. I guess maybe it's finally time to start on Mandolorian S2. S1 was kinda zzz with some high points though. Also I only watched the first samurai anime Visions short so I should probably check out the rest.

Midnight Mass has a solid horror concept and great acting, but fuck me, the atrociously long monologuing just kills flow and some scenes for me.
