Super underrated show. Guy behind it had another show on EPIX or w/e that was good with great cast that also no one watched:

wiki says it's getting a limited series instead of a second season so thats nice

Watched Ep1 (last year) and stopped there.
Very peculiar and well produced, but the stylization felt smothering to me.

Watched Upload - it's okay.
Basically a slightly less cynical extended episode of Black Mirror that's played more for laughs, but a fairly decent murder mystery narrative thread holding the whole thing together. Ends on a 'to be continued' rather than wrapping everything up.

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 · « **Reply #17662 on:** May 06, 2020, 12:45:05 PM »

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.

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.

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.

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 · « **Reply #17675 on:** May 15, 2020, 04:51:52 AM »

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
