04.13.20 | still need to watch: better call saul, the expanse, top boy, battlestar galactica, mr robot, peaky blinders, kingdom + anything else good on netflix including death note and last airbender also on list. |
anarchistfish
04.13.20 | i also found out ancient aliens has been added to netflix which is definitelly chill and doobie time |
Deez
04.13.20 | Im watching Mr Robot again. I always like it without being in love with it but season 4 is incredible. One of the best seasons of anything I have seen.
Mandolorian was aaight, was a bit disney though wasnt it? Dialogue sucked. Ozark s3 ruled. Alternated Carbon 2 was fun but agreed, formulaic
Im enjoying WW3 but I digged WW2 also I know most hated it and it was all over the place. Charlottes , Dolares voice makes me wanna scratch my eyes out though. Hannibal is dope on netflix also. |
anarchistfish
04.13.20 | i gave up on mr robot after s2 so it's definitely on the recycling table
"Dialogue sucked."
yeah, it's v family friendly. EA wasted years of their SW licence and now we have disney who wanna keep all creative liberties to an absolute minimum. bodes well for having any kind of noir or gritty SW media soon
i'll check hannibal |
Deez
04.13.20 | Going through MR again yeah seeing the first half of s2 is so slow in comparison to s1. I can see how many jumped shit there. I really liked the 3rd season and what I already said about 4. Hannibal really comes into its own towards the end of s1 too. |
JeetJeet
04.13.20 | Season 2 was great and season 3 has been pretty good so far too. |
cazzill
04.13.20 | You’ve reminded me I still need to watch season 2, the first season of westworld and the leftovers are the only shows I’ve really got into over the past few years |
Satellite
04.13.20 | MR is up there with BCS and The Americans as one of best dramas of the past 5 or so years. /lukewarm take
Really enjoyed the first 2 seasons of Westworld but haven't gotten around to S3 yet. |
JeetJeet
04.13.20 | Mr. Robot is perfection. No weak seasons, just incredible airtight storytelling, awesome characters that you get invested in, and a lot of holy shit moments. |
JeetJeet
04.13.20 | And shoutout to Dark too. Might be the best show on Netflix. |
Deez
04.13.20 | Mr Robot gang assemble |
anarchistfish
04.13.20 | "And shoutout to Dark too. Might be the best show on Netflix."
best I've seen so far for sure
"You’ve reminded me I still need to watch season 2, the first season of westworld and the leftovers are the only shows I’ve really got into over the past few years"
it's really hard to top s1 |
Deez
04.13.20 | Yeah and its really hard to not go stale QUICK so I like how this season has started |
TheSpaceMan
04.13.20 | heard it has a piano cover of the best song of all time in S3E1 but ive never seen the show |
TheSupernatural
04.14.20 | I still need to watch Mr. Robot, Dark, Better Call Saul, Peaky Blinders, The Americans, maybe a few others slipping my mind. I only watched the first two seasons of The Wire and need to finish that. Just got furloughed yesterday so now I've got plenty of time.
Heard about this Swedish show Caliphate that's on Netflix so I want to give that a try. Anyone know how that is?
As for Westworld, I was one of the few people who thought season 2 was challenging but still mostly brilliant. This season has the potential to be, though the last two episodes didn't quite hit the spot for me. |
TheSupernatural
04.14.20 | Also if you're into reading, The Expanse show is good but the books are definitely a notch above it, at least until the latest season when they got picked up by Amazon. |
Satellite
04.14.20 | It's barely even hyperbole to say that the new season of BCS has been one of the greatest seasons in TV history. |
Yotimi
04.14.20 | BCS and Dark have been the only shows to completely captivate me over the last few years |
Deez
04.14.20 | I kinda like how BCS gives me a kind of uneasy ,irritated feel because I just dont like/root for anyone in the whole show apart from Mike. |
Satellite
04.15.20 | Lalo is just fucking terrifying. That Salamanca family, man. |
anarchistfish
04.15.20 | ok I've restarted BCS S1.
lmao there's so much subtle humour here. skaters: "how did you find us??" *pans to wide shot of huge skate park* |
anarchistfish
04.15.20 | BIZNATCH |
Rowan5215
04.15.20 | last two episodes of BCS have been some of the greatest TV I've seen, put everything else I've been watching to shame tbh (and I was enjoying Dispatches from Elsewhere a fair bit, cute show) |
Nomos2
04.15.20 | Whooooah time for me to hop back in? I got like 6 episodes into S2 after being OBSESSED with S1. It just...bored the shit out of me. I'm not sure why. Lack of momentum or forward drive to the story? I just didn't care, and it kills me. Time to finish S2 off I guess so I can get back into it. |
Nomos2
04.15.20 | ugh and same with The Expanse. I think I still have a season and a half to go! That show is pandering to everything I love about sci-fi but I also fell behind on it, but heard nothing but praise for the last season. |
Satellite
04.15.20 | Without getting into spoilers, the more BCS goes on, the closer it feels to BB in terms of tone, and it's definitely to the show's benefit. And I say that as someone who loved it from the start. The last episode basically reached Ozymandias levels of tension. |
Rowan5215
04.16.20 | I'll always argue it's been better than Breaking Bad for a while. and I loved BB first time around, but the character work and development in BCS has been extraordinary |
Satellite
04.16.20 | Yeah it's been better than BB since at least the conclusion of S2. |
Rowan5215
04.16.20 | good take
Kim is the best character in Gilligan's universe, and Rhea is a phenomenal actor |
Satellite
04.16.20 | Agreed. This better be the season that finally gets Rhea Seehorn the Emmy. |
anarchistfish
04.17.20 | "leave it on the side of the road that's where I found it"
s2 is slow but great |
anarchistfish
04.17.20 | don't remember Mike being this interesting in BB either though it's been like 8 years since I watched it |
anarchistfish
05.04.20 | Whack finale |
Deez
05.04.20 | The last couple of episodes have been awful for me. Really poor writing. Ive just watched about 5 men shoot Dolores with a machine gun from 6 feet and not hit her ff. I just dont care anymore. The overacted dialogue these stupid plot holes. I dont think Ive ever got all the way to a finale and not watched it but I just dont care anymore. |
anarchistfish
05.05.20 | Yeah it's trash |
ArsMoriendi
05.20.20 | Finished Season 3 yesterday and I'm kinda pissed that they tried to make Dolores look like the good guy in the end, like wtf isn't she like the main villain?
Like isn't it supposed to be Maeve + Bernard vs. Dolores or something?
What's this whole "she sacrificed herself to help humanity" twist? |
ArsMoriendi
05.20.20 | And they made William an idiot out of nowhere just for plot reasons |
JeetJeet
05.20.20 | S1 - 10/10
S2 - 9/10
S3 - 8/10 |
Deez
05.21.20 | S1-10/10
S2-8/10
S3-6-10 |
DoofDoof
05.21.20 | Season 3 had the worst choreographed fights ever, I was pissing myself
Made the Sand Snakes fight in Game of Thrones look like Enter the Dragon by comparison
Also the Jesse Pinkman character was rubbish |
neekafat
05.21.20 | S1-10/10
S2-8/10
S3-5.5/10 |
neekafat
05.21.20 | agreed doof the action was embarassingly bad
he still had a better arc than any other character this season lmfao |
DDDeftoneDDD
05.21.20 | for me S1>S3>S2 |
Scheumke
05.21.20 | Finally some Dark love. Criminally underwatched and underhyped series. |
Deez
05.21.20 | It constantly felt like everyone was over acting once I was detached from it. As I said Charlotte's robo voice was horrendous |
anarchistfish
05.21.20 | "What's this whole "she sacrificed herself to help humanity" twist?"
it was barely even a twist rly if you took what she said to jesse at face value |
TheSpaceMan
05.21.20 | Seriously how well does Dissolved Girl work with whatever scene it was contextualized with? It's a top 5 favorite song of mine oat and I wanna know how the show used it (: |
ArsMoriendi
05.21.20 | "S1-10/10
S2-8/10
S3-6/10"
Agreed with Deez |
ArsMoriendi
05.21.20 | I didn't mind Todd from Bojack's character, but I guess it didn't make sense that he so immediately trusted Dolores when she gave him so many reasons not to |
