I just started the second season of Upload and god I forgot how much the writing sucks. I really enjoy these kinds of sci-fi concepts. The ideas around consciousness, technology and transcending death and how that affects human relationships. But it's made so lazily. There are so many shows I've tried with cool concepts that have missed their potential. But now I'm invested, I have to see it through lol

No. 189170

>>189084
Hm…Overall, I'd say it's a show for when you want something truly darkly comedic, in a really female way. People call things "dark comedies" a lot, but I think Fleabag really qualifies in a uniquely potent way – it's very much about the really bizarre humor found in incredibly dark points in one's life. Season 1 and 2 are kind of different beasts, though, but not in a bad way, though fyi the priest is not in season 1 at all. Season 1 centers around the protagonist dealing with every awful part of herself, really bleak (but funny). Season 2 has the priest, and is more…light-hearted isn't accurate, but it does come to mind. I'd say it's for when you want a romance between two weary, world-beaten people.

Seconding this. Fleabag was the show that made me realize I have to pay all my attention to female writers. A masterpiece imo, truly dark and truly funny, completely human and undeniably for women. That it's a huge hit with lesbians despite being a het show with one queerbait scene is neither here nor there though. She basically says she goes both ways but the entire show is about her fixation on men and getting validation from them and the one encounter she has with a lesbian is sweet but it felt out of place to me.It's still my favorite of all time.

I just finished Physical and loved it. I think it's an Apple TV+ show, but it's gotten 0 buzz – I found out about it by chance. Really dark in a very Fleabagish way. Rose Byrne plays Sheila, a housewife in early-80s SoCal who's miserable but in that sort of functional way people can float in forever. Shitty "male feminist" husband – the first scene is him trying to make a threesome between him, her, and one of his undergrads happen. The big arc of the series is how she falls in love with aerobics, and ends up building an empire – don't know the details yet, but we see a few tiny flash forwards.

The most striking thing about the show imho is the narration, which is her absolutely brutal internal monologue. She's bulimic and depressed and it's just really, really raw in that Fleabag way, to the point that I'd say it's not something you should watch if you're not in a solid place. Like, we hear her nasty thoughts about other women's bodies, the way she sneers at literally anyone eating, etc. But it's really, really, really well captured. There are a few moments that made me sit up like Fleabag did, because they captured really dark female moments I'd never seen on screen before. And really fucking amazing stuff from Rose Byrne. It's still a bit rough around the edges, but I'm really glad I watched it.

SA – and Hacks! I made a big rec post for this on the old thread, I loooove it and am so happy it got awards. Zoomer comedy girl (Ava) and Joan Rivers-ish standup diva legend (Deborah) end up having to work together. What I love most is that there's a lot of comedy mined from their conflict, but so much of it is actually about Ava coming to realize she blows Deborah off as the "QVC muumuu lady" b/c of industry sexism. She has to really reckon with the dark heart of what comedy did and still does to women, and how she's just as much a tool of it even though she's an ultra-woke 20something. And Deborah also has to realize she can't just blow Ava off as a dumb Twitter kid! Honestly, the entire cast is so great, literally every character is fantasically written and acted, but like I love Fleabag for championing basically the shittiest woman you know, I love Hacks for basically being like "actually the ~cringe~ comedienne your great aunt loves who sells foot baths on qvc is a fucking god no matter what your 'comedy nerd' ex bf has to say about it."

Rec'd this in a previous thread but I really loved Tokyo Girl. It's not as dark and sarcastic as Fleabag but it's very real about women's struggles in the professional and romantic realms especially for a series from E. Asia. You follow a girl from 23 to 40 as she moves from a little rural town to Tokyo in the hopes of becoming a careerwoman and she grows as a person so much. She tries to make it work with all sorts of men who ultimately are using her for their own purposes in different ways, struggles with the idea of starting a family and what it would mean/what society would expect of her, until she ultimately works out a way to build her own little sense of peace and joy alongside other women she's met along the way. I ended up bingeing the whole thing in a day and it's still one of my favorite series. Definitely underrated/hidden gem. Written and directed by women.

Every once in a while, for many years now since its release, I think about the episode of black mirror "shut Up and Dance". What a fucking banger of an episode, is literally the only episode worth watching, everything else pales in comparison. The whole thing was so delicious for me, a random hacker psychologically torturing a bunch of paedophiles (and some random racist woman) was so exhilarating to watch. Just thinking about the drone scene and how maybe he was streaming in liveleak these 2 paedophiles fighting to the death in a forest makes me feel so light and filled with joy. A marvellous piece of cinematography.
Exit Music (For A Film) is forever my anti-paedophile anthem.

I watched up to the ninth episode and stopped after the main characters/love interests kissed.

I just don't understand what the writers were thinking this season. I could at least somewhat accept it if they didn't care about Villaneve and just wanted to write a spy thriller - but it fails as that too. We never really got any answers about the 12 and they're killed off in a really weird way. The whole thing feels completely pointless, I'm mad I wasted my time.

This show was always basically Spanish 13 Reasons Why/Spanish Euphoria but holy shit what the fuck happened to this new season? The acting is 1000 times worse than previously, and there's simply no reason for the story to continue but I guess this show will keep killing someone off each season and keep doing this tired whodunnit format. I understand Netflix will milk a show for all it's worth until it's a shell of it's former self but I really don't understand what happened this season specifically? The plot is incomprehensible and it's edited as if it's some low budget youtube show. I had really low expectations and somehow I'm still disappointed.

And another thing, I've only seen the first episode and some of the second episode, and I don't really remember what happened in season 4, but regarding Phillipe The guy is a predator and a rapist idc. I don't understand why so many people are on his side like Samu and whoever else. Are we supposed to feel bad for the guy who's being "bullied" because he was a rapist? Again I haven't seen it all so things might change and I get that he hasn't been kicked out because of his status but the students who are still friendly with him doesn't make that much sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not gonna get into the plot further than that because it's all stupidly infuriating and I could sit here ripping into it all day.

Does anyone have any recommendations for shows featuring women?

Nothing with rape, sex offenses, violence against women, or that whole “see women as bad as men” which often displays as; women who cuck their husbands, women who sexually harass every man they see, psycho serial killer women, and lastly I can’t do any more performative “she’s a bad bitch and she slaps down every man she sees because she’s a career women/mom/celebrity” I don’t find it empowering, just aggravating that real world struggles are getting watered down into tropes and punchy one liners. I will however happily take revenge style fantasy stuff that centers a women so long as it doesn’t feature rape or sexual assault.

I didn't like the acting whenever Kat was arguing with her mother during her episode, and the argument between her and her younger sister made me wince.

Just finished season 1 of Barry and I really liked it except for the fact that I cannot for the life of me understand why they paired up the black lady cop with the literal geriatric acting teacher. Like I get that age gap relationships are a thing but she was like late 40s- early 50s and he looked like a hard 70.

I loved it and I came here to post about it. I feel like this season felt like more of a continuation of the mystery from season one. I also really like that it integrates the time period into the actual plot (satanic panic is part of the conflict, but I'm not going to spoil past that.) Episode four was incredible, potentially my favorite to date.

It's not perfect, though. There's some serious tonal whiplash, and the CGI occasionally looks wonky, but it's a solid season overall.

It wasn't as awful as I expected, but I am only one ep 5, so that's subject to change. The storyline with the freddie krueger monster is kinda meh and after a while, the bad CG death gets laughable. I love the sound track so far though! Hell yeah Kate Bush. Robin is my favorite character, as well as Max. I dont care for 11 again this season. She's just boring. Poor Will is always being ignored by everyone. I wouldn't be shocked if he ended up on the dark side.

Jonathan and his new friend Argyle had me in stiches.

I haven't really enjoyed S4 that much. I don't mind the shift in tone from the kind of light hearted S3, but it really is missing something to make it feel intrinsically like Stranger Things. I hate was they did to Robin's character, she was competent, brave and intelligent in S3. Now she's an uber quirky neuro divergent who is essentially paraded around as a woman child of comedic relief. I guess they didn't think they could have two competent female leads together? The story feels elementary, I know most people didn't like S3 but the way multiple storylines came together felt well thought out and was extremely satisfying. The Hopper in Russia plot and California shit does absolutely nothing for me and I don't really see the appeal of new characters like Argyle and Eddie. Chrissy was interesting but got killed off in the first episode. Also many of the characters do such dumb shit that they would never do in previous seasons eg. Steve and the water gate. The one thing I did enjoy was the body horror and satanic panic of the time that was captured pretty well.

overall i really liked s4, there were definitely some stupid aspects i thought mike and co. visiting suzie was cute but the part where will directly referenced the never ending story scene from s3 made me roll my eyes. i'm looking forward to s5 and i'm glad it'll be the last one i just really hope they dont kill off steve because he's one of my favorite characters

I know it's old but I recently binged all of Raising Hope and it was really comfy. Reminded me a lot of my own flawed, lower class upbringing but less sanitized than Malcolm in the Middle. Also, I like how although it's called Raising Hope the kid is never the focus, they don't rely on aww moments or give her any lines. Also as someone with trichotillomania I love how accurately it's portrayed, I do the same eyebrow shit and it made me laugh my ass off.

honestly i hope eddie from stranger things dies. i like him as a character he is sort of cute but i want him to be with chrissy in a way. sure they only spent a couple minutes together but for those minutes they were really sweet together. together not necessarily as lovers or friends but symbolically.
also i dont know how i feel about the whole nancy steve thing its weird, and i hate those scenes with his bare chest out. was that meant to be fanservice i was honestly disgusted if anything but that might just be me.
to those who watched the show what are your thoughts on that russian soldier guy with hopper ? also btw regarding hopper i honestly was not shocked that he was alive but i still cried so much in the season three finale, even if it was not all to my taste but i was bawling do you think he will die like alexei ? there is some speculation that he will in self sacrifice, but nothing confirmed just fans theorizing.

No. 213352

Honestly this is my biggest disappointment this season (except for Hopper related storyline, I think it would be far more satisfying character arc if he stayed dead at the end of s3), that Chrissy was killed off in the very first episode. She was such an interesting new character and I was immediately excited about seeing more of her, especially since her interaction with Eddie seemed like something fun to explore, feels like we were robbed honestly. Nothing more really interesting is left about Eddie so I'm with you here anon, and I think it's actually very likely
Nancy and Steve thing was weird because he's just so awkward, ESPECIALLY with the bare chest, isn't fanservice supposed to be appealing? I can't believe this was appealing to anyone. At this point I'm cool seeing no romance at all whatsoever this season.

I actually think Mariana is the right one for Anne. Everything Mariana says about Ann and Anne together is fucking true, there is nothing much to their relationship beyond Ann being willing to marry Anne. Ann is simpleminded, feeble, meek. Anne got into it for money and found that she loved having a beautiful woman she could manipulate into a marriage.

Mariana however has a will of her own and challenges Anne in ways that Ann never has and probably never will. The only times Ann is capable of saying no to Anne is when someone she's even more afraid of enters the picture to order her around. She's growing as a person over time so I'd like my opinion of her to change too but honeslty she is a grating character.

The chemistry between Anne and Mariana is far superior imo and her voice is very very sexy.

What does this even mean! Shut the fuck up. First of all they put a darkskin woman in the main couple and that's a big stride, seldom do you ever see that in a mainstream show meant to appeal to wider audiences.

If you want an example of a historical crime show based on real people I totally rec Godfather of Harlem. It follows crime boss, Bumpy Johnson, who was once the principle lieutenant of madame Stephanie St. Claire who was a black female rackateer and numbers queen. She was a bad bitch in her own right and I would totally watch a biopic. But back to Godfather of Harlem, it follows his life and the inner machinations of Harlem, race relations, politics, and brewing unrest punctuating the crime wars. Even has Malcolm X and his waning ties to the Nation of Islam (and you probably know how that ended welp). There are a lot of little stories that show the good and bad in everything and I think the acting is pretty solid! I get if it's not your cup of tea though.

it's an HBO max show, and unfortunately, that's not why. It's because HBO max got sold to discovery+, and they're pretty much cutting like 70% of the content and changing it into a lot of shitty reality tv shows/game shows. The issue with raised by wolves is that it's budget is huge, the views it apparently got weren't that great for what it was, and it's a sci fi (famously least popular genre in hollywood unfortunately). So it just wasn't worth it for the execs compared to something as shitty as our flag means death which apparently doesn't cost a lot to make, and is a comedy.

I've returned. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I feel like Vecna's body looks a little awkward and his voice made me cringe during some moments. I really think they could've given him lines that would've made him seem more threatening instead of repeating some things he's already said. I also couldn't help but cringe when Steve said he wanted six kids and then told Nancy later on he wanted to have them with her. Nancy is ambitious that's only going to hold her back, you leeching male. Anyway, I really thought Nancy was going to have to choose who to save when the vines grabbed Steve and Robin. And then I thought she was going to get attacked by Vecna when she was shooting the shit out of him while he was on fire. I'm glad she's okay. It was really nice to see the demogorgons again. Max's death absolutely ruined me for a moment. I didn't think I would cry that much kek. Didn't help that Eddie died too. Also, does anyone else get irritated when Will grabs/touches his neck? kek it's such a petty thing to get annoyed over but I can't help it. But I am very neutral about this season, lol.

I was super disappointed with volume 2. They should've committed to Max's death, it felt so cheap to have such a heartbreaking death scene for her and then El unleashes sudden hidden revival abilities. I don't think they'll go a morbid route of pulling the plug, its obvious they're going for a storyline of retrieving her soul from Vecna in season 5 because her soul isn't in her body at the moment. But is she going to still be blind when she's recovered? Would've be morbid if so. Also Eddie's death was so useless and was written so badly. There was nothing new added to Vecna and the Vecna/El faceoff was uneventful as fuck. The mind flayer joining forces with Vecna ruins the whole mystery of this unknown other worldly entity from the previous seasons. The first few episodes of season 4 were strong but it crumbled from shitty writing.

I'm late and I know not many people on here are super into The Sopranos but seeing people talk about Skyler hate on Breaking Bad made me remember the fandom treatment of Carmela Soprano and I fucking hate it. Tony Soprano is a mob boss who ruins peoples lives through loansharking and other illegal endeavours, he bangs any female with a pulse and murders multiple people throughout the series - even murdering one guy when on a trip to look at colleges with his daughter. But Carmela enables him, takes blood money, stole $40K from the bird feeder (pocket change for Tony) and she nags him about giving her financial security in case he dies or goes to jail, so burn her at the cross for her sins. Men shouldn't be allowed to watch tv. Maybe Sesame Street if they behave but nothing else because they're tiny brains can't move past "man good woman bad" and it affects every single opinion they have.

Carmela is my favorite character. I don't understand how moids can watch the series and somehow think she's worse than Tony for taking his blood money. You can't say she's a gold digger because she clearly was in love with Tony when she married him (and still is) PLUS he got her knocked up and its not like she really had a choice but to marry him in their conservative sphere. I'm not even sure how she "enables" him other than doing her wifely duties. Her "nagging" is just her having valid concerns about her and her kids' future without Tony. Also Carmela sleeps with another man while they're separated and kisses one guy once when they're together and somehow that makes her a cheating whore that's worse than Tony with his laundry list of infidelity. Even if she was a serial cheater I couldn't have any other opinion other than fucking good for her. I can't stand the unrelenting Carmela slander in every single Soprano moid dominated community.

No. 218566

>>218556
AYRT, the "enabling" is usually explained that she knows what Tony's work entails but doesn't leave him. I wouldn't necessarily call that enabling myself, just brought it up as it seems to be the most common "critique" of her. What is she meant to do though? Wage a one woman war against the mob? "TOE-KNEE! I TAWLD YOU NAWT TO MURDAH ANYONE ELSE!!!" She's definitely in love with him which is why Whitecaps is still such a huge gut punch after so many rewatches. The hospital episodes too, after Tony got shot. Edie Falco did a really great job with the emotional scenes, portraying that even though Carmela and Tony are barely civil, she still loves him to death. "nagging" the father of your children to provide for them being a bad thing is peak male mentality. "yeah he knocked her up and married her and wanted her to be a housewife but fuck her lol she should get a job" I completely agree about the infidelity. If Carmela actually did sleep with Vic Musto I would've cheered her on, kek. Same with Furio, and I actually think Furio was a good fit for her. Another thing I hate from moids is "wahh they made Furio a softie in season four!!!" when at the party Tony and Carmela throw for him when he first comes to America you see him giving a woman advice for her baby and playing with children. They didn't expand on it, sure, but Furio had a softer side since the start. He was good at his job, but always quite stoic and thoughtful outside of it.

About Max
I think she may actually die, agreed that would be the best course of action even though I love the character, and Sadie Sink is a very good actress. In one of the last scenes we can see El tried reaching to her mind and found nothing there; which can mean that despite her best healing efforts she was not able to reach Max and her brain is dead anyway. It would be even more painful, storywise, to see her pass away like this, not dramatically in an epic faceoff of another universe but slowly in real life, also putting a clear limit to what Eleven can and cannot do, which would make the stakes higher for the final battle in the final season. We will see.

Tom is my favorite 100%. Shiv is a close second. Their relationship makes the show for me. The power dynamics and subversion of gender roles between them are so fascinating. I love Tom’s temper tantrums and how earnest/emotional he is, and how he clearly loves Shiv so much but near the end of s3 begins to act so cruelly towards her, just as she’s grappling with how much she needs him. I’m not sure they’d break up in s4. They’d probably just play mind games around each other until one of them drops dead.

I'm yet to watch the final episode of s3 so I can't speak on what Tom does to Shiv at the end of the season, but Shiv has been horrible towards him most of the series. I tried to like her character but I just can't. The infidelity, open marriage request on the wedding night, coldness about Tom's possible prison sentence, the cruel pillow talk and agreeing to have a baby only out of spite makes her irredeemable to me, although you can see how she became that person through her shitty circumstances. Tom is by no means a good guy but he's definitely my favourite character. The Greg/Tom dynamic is too perfect right now to become a romantic storyline imo. Kendall is a close second because he's such an entertaining trainwreck to watch. Marcia and Willa are also based.

I have been sperging about this show since I started watching it last November. Sorry for my autism but I get so excited talking about it.

>>219806
Do you mean GNC as in Gender Non-Conforming? If so, based. Shiv and Tom’s marriage is really roles-reversed. Also, yeah, Greg is nowhere near the right guy for Tom, I think he kind of takes him for granted. But I saw someone say that Greg only “takes” so much from Tom because he knows how willing he is to “give,” and that it’s kind of a love language for him. Still rubs me the wrong way.

>>219831
Nonna, please rewatch all Tom-Shiv scenes through a misandrist lens… Tom does not care about the open relationship because of the sex, he’s open to taking advantage of it himself. Tom is upset by it because it means Shiv doesn’t fully belong to him. He obsesses over having control over her. He’s routinely upset at their dynamic, at how she has more power over him because she’s the Roy. They are equally bad towards each other. Her only crimes are having sex habits that make Tom uncomfortable, that he doesn’t make an effort to communicate his feelings about. Meanwhile Tom is overtly concerned with using Shiv to leverage his position at Waystar. How many private conversations of them do we see where Tom ISN’T begging for another step-up/promotion/etc?

It’s interesting that you mention Shiv wanting to have a baby out of spite. Do you not remember Tom, several episodes earlier in the season, wanting to have a baby to keep him and Shiv together if he was to go to prison?

I really feel that Shiv, both in-universe and as a character on a TV show, is in an extra-vulnerable position as a woman. She’s under so much scrutiny that no other character faces. I’m so defensive about her LOL.

Anyway yeah I think Will may end up gay but they don't want to blatantly write it on the wall probably for flexibility of the script or to claim they had an epic gay setup.

I watch most shows with a healthy does of misandry but it still didn't work for me here. Tom is still a piece of shit don't get me wrong. He clearly is using her to climb the corporate ladder, but I think that's secondary to his love for her. Remember on their honeymoon when he proposes to quit the business life and just fuck off and be scuba instructors? I do believe that was genuine. The impregnation shit was unhinged and he needs to respect her wishes, although I don't see why you would get married without having those conversations beforehand. I guess Shiv did the same with the open marriage topic though. I can't agree that he is open to the open marriage, he didn't want to have a free pass at the bachelors (tbf it was because he didn't want her to fuck anyone else but that's normal in a monogamous relationship) and he didn't want to partake in the threesome at all. As for being upset about their dynamic, I can see it but can personally understand as their agreement and plan for the future was for him to take over (ludicrous idea but anyway) and that changed in a heartbeat when Shiv was "offered" the role. I was dead set on liking Shiv, especially before watching the series all I heard was scrotes hating on her and I assumed it was a normal scrote hate like what happened to Skyler and Carmela. But I will agree with you that a lot of the mistreatment she gets in the show and by the fandom is her being a woman. Roman mocking her for not wanting to put up a fascist nominee for instance, while she is the only one in the room who has any politics expertise. I somehow don't believe she or any of the Roys are good candidates for CEO, but for her its because of her lack of being able to read the room in professional situations (the whole of season 2 lol). BUT I will say that most of her outbursts and snark would be excused if she was a man.

Anyway I finished Succession a few days ago and will be rewatching immediately so maybe some of these opinions will change soon.

Holy shit, this. It was just a giant reminder of how incompatible they are, but the show is framing it like it's cute? What happened to season one where Nancy said she didn't want to be a housewife with a bunch of kids? What happened to her caring about her career?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's sweet that Steve loves kids so much. But that doesn't mean I want Nancy to be his fucking brood mare, what the fuck. If the Duffers have them get back together, I'll be legitimately pissed, because Steve will ruin her dreams and it will send a really shitty message.

Also Johnathan's reason for doubting their relationship came from the fact that he wanted to take care of his family in California, but they're not even living in California anymore, so it's a moot point.

Oh, nothing will ever happen between them, at least not explicitly. I hate how Greg treats Tom but it’s fine because I know Greg will eventually end up worse than when he started at the end of the series… hopefully. I honestly enjoy bait a lot, it’s enriching and I hope they do more. I really doubt it counts as bait though, because they’re not pushing it at all in advertisements or promos. A lot of their most-cited “moments” were actually just improvisations from the actors.

I know that Tom isn’t wearing a ring in a scene they were filming the other day, picrel, so maybe him and Shiv have separated or divorced.

There are two spin offs, Fear the Walking Dead and Walking Dead - World Beyond. World Beyond has an actor that is non-binary in real life, but honestly, I don't remember if that ever was discussed in the show, but it could be, how woke and shit the characters in World Beyond were written. But let's be honest, Walking Dead is so far from believable, they always stand in the middle of the road, discussing stuff and no woman has body hair, as if we all would shave while being on the run. Still, I like Fear the Walking Dead the best from all three shows, it's so far from believable that it's actually nice to watch.

Oh for sure. You see that video of the siblings outside an Irish bar? Kendall’s depression walk is iconic, he’s totally losing it even worse than he already has. I think he’s bipolar and struggles with the mania/depression cycle which is why he crashed and burned so bad this season.

I don’t think anyone is going to actually do any karaoke, it might just be a discreet rendezvous location, but if they do, it’d be a cute Roy siblings scene.

Same. Though i've started hating both of them way before Howard died, what they did to him when he was alive is the most cruel thing. They were torturing his mind, and mind you, Howard wasn't a crazy bastard who deserved it, he didn't do anything to hurt anyone that we've seen. How could they be so cruel? I hated the scene where she broke up with Jimmy, i thought she finally had a realization but what she had to say was too lukewarm compared to the reality of their wrongdoing. Honestly i hope we see them both suffer. And fuck Howard's wife too.

Ayrt, basically : i see what they're trying to do with tom's character but i just find him unbearable. greg is a bore. I find their scenes annoying to watch. I hope shiv ditches tom's ass with extreme prejudice
kendall has his moments but he's too whiny for my state. I prefer shiv and roman who're pieces of shit but in a very entertaining way.
but so much of the fan content focuses in tom/greg or making ken a woobie and it's tedious
these are very much subjective, but i feel not many ppl feel this way

Because Skylar had expectations of Walt’s behavior whereas Kim just accepted it. Skylark chides Walt for using the incorrect credit card, skylar gets involved by seeing if grey matter will take him on board, then she has the audacity to cheat on Walt after he hid a life threatening diagnoses and killed two men while making meth! How dare she expect better from her husband in the midst of her high risk pregnancy, his imminent mortality and their crippling financial situation. Now Kim, she’s a good one because she helps Jimmy without judgement, hell she even enjoys the thrill and routinely bails him out of her own free will! When skylar finds out Walt is risking her life, the life of her son and infant daughter, not to mention his own, she has a mental break! Not Kim though, she immediately jumps to action!
Not to shit on Kim’s character, I think she’s great but men struggle to see women as people with their own lives and concerns. Kims interests align with Jimmys but skylars don’t align with Walt’s. Never mind that Walt’s interests don’t align with skylars, that doesn’t play into it because her life should revolve around him.
Of course, not all men but boy do a lot of them feel the need to share their callous takes and praise each other for doing so. Wondering if anyone replied to that idiot asking what was wrong with them that they think a father endanger his infant daughters life is virtuous and worthy of praise.

AYRT, I love the ambiguity in the characters. Someone said something one time about how a lot of the Succession fun is in the unsaid which I agree with.

Yeah, basically scrotes imagine Kim to be a handmaiden. A smart one, somewhat likeable when you ignore how crazy she is, but still a handmaiden, a "ride or die" that will never call anything out. What's interesting with her character is that she was groomed to be this way by her mother, so it's not even internalized misogyny and she's not really a handmaiden, she has this internalized trauma from her upbringing thats pushing her to recognize Jimmy as someone like her mother, and she reproduces the dynamic.

I must admit it was smart on the writers part to explain it this way, because before we saw her childhood she had no legitimate reason to be as supportive to Jimmy as she was, but it's not like men don't write women like that all the time, completely self-sacrificial for no reason.

On a sidenote, this scrote who is happy when the baby gets kidnapped by Walter makes me want to go out and murder random men.

Greg was one of my favourite characters for all of season 1 but by the time I was done with season 3 and lurked around parts of the fandom I really felt like Tom deserves better than him and don't think a Greg winning endgame would be satisfying.

I want Tom to abuse Greg. I liked him in season one but the more Roylike he got, the meaner he started acting to Tom, so now I literally hate him. I don’t think Greg would be satisfied with being equal partners with Tom, he’d end up betraying him if he could, unless there’s actually a humanity to Greg that I just don’t see. They’re friends but he doesn’t like Tom as much as Tom likes him. The Nero-Sporus stuff is literally inexplicable to me and I’m not going to pretend that I can accurately predict the events of Succession because I can’t, so, really you never know. Greg was written as gay in the first two seasons and he spends the night with a male waiter at Tom’s wedding. I really don’t think they’ll ever have sex onscreen or anything, but maybe something vague and subtextual can be implied about their feelings for each other.

Roman and Gerri are very interesting to me. I’m really excited to see what happens to them this season. They have insane chemistry and they’re one of the writers’ favorite pairing so I’m sure they’re getting great moments.

Me and my bf are hate-watching the new Resident Evil show. The episodes are such a slog to get through, they're nearly an hour long each.
First ep was cringier than I expected but it did get into the darker action sooner than I thought. Though the effects look ugly as fuck. Makes sense for maybe 2002, but not 2022.

Totally agree that Greg would betray Tom if he got a good deal out of it (didn't he basically do this to Kendall last season?) and agree that Tom is more into Greg than Greg is into him. Also kek at Stewy, the fans obsessed with shipping him with Kendall always seem jealous of all the content Tom/Greg gets and take their anger out on Tom.

I think the actor is doing a great job as him, which is why he seems like an interesting character to me. I like him. Though I do not think I will keep watching the show next season because Maeve actress left the show, and I liked their hate-love dynamic. Only Soldier boy can save this show for me, and Starlight with Kimiko.

I hated what the Starlight actress did to her face, it's really sad, because she looked good before and it's irritating to not recognise a face in a new season of a tv show. But I liked her development in the last season. Also wish they would have kept Maeve.
My favourite character is Billy, but I just have a thing for Karl Urban, kek. I also like Frenchie and Kimiko and will keep on watching. The fact that they put Bobby Singer in it made me like the show even more. I also always like the music choices in shows where Eric Kripke is part of.

Pros: As a hardcore Sandman fan I enjoyed it way more than I expected to. Its very faithful to the comic in general vibe, but also they will recreate entire scenes of dialogue or exact panel compositions from the comics. I get the impression everybody working on it was a fan too. The sfx and locations were great, it feels expensive. I made my bf watch it and he was super into it, though he never usually goes for fantasy and couldn't get into the books at all.
I thought Cain, Abel, desire, matthew the raven, Johanna, Gilbert were really great castings. They did the absolute best they could with Dream and although I would have chosen someone more scary instead of weird looking, he was super committed and it worked. His voice is perfect though.
I put the general slight layer of cringe over the whole thing down to the fact that it's a Neil Gaiman adaptation and that's just what his stuff is like.
Cons: I wish they'd done the black eyes thing more often for Dream, I missed that. I thought the actor for Lucienne was annoying, she talked like she was in a primary school play. The actor for Death was pretty good but not spectacular, although I can't really think of anyone else I would have preferred.
Incels are going to complain about the gender- and race-bent characters but it's either neutral or a positive.

I just finished watching this and I was obsessed. I found the tech history really interesting anyway and the way it all changed over the years felt really natural. I wasn't expecting there to be such a focus on Donna and Cam's working relationship/friendship but I'm really really glad there was. It didn't feel pandery or forced either. All the characters were very subtly and realistically written.
I started watching Silicon Valley right after so although it was a big change in mood, the focus on tech innovation in silicom Valley made it mesh excellently.
If anyone can recommend me any tech shows about the dotcom bubble I think the time periods would overlap from 1984 all the way to present day lol. Or any from before then!

This is the same reason why retards are so adamant that Steve Harrington be given a girlfriend as a "reward" for being a good person. So many males only do the right thing if something's in it for them that they're genuinely shocked when fiction portrays selflessness. Attitudes like that are self perpetuating and spread like a cancer– the more men decry altruism as "unrealistic," the less it actually happens. It's fantastical to them because they made it so.

yeah this ending is something moids can't understand

on other hand in a way i guess it would have been morbidly hilarious if saul tried to weasel out of responsibility once again, like i get it that would have kept tv moids talking about this show to the end of the time about how it subverts the expectations, how artistic and cool and brave it was that they kept the bad guy being bad and the love didn't win in the end and blah blah blah

but i like that they went for emotional integrity instead of thinking about what would seem the best way to be subversive. i think this was actually in a way the braver way to go in a world where movies and tv is all about being edgy, shock value and SuBVerTIng tHe eXpeCtaTioNs. it is honestly refreshing to see a story to go in a more "traditional" direction, that the hero/antihero of the show actually does a good thing, love, honesty and emotional growth does win in the end, it is purifying in some way really. the ending made me sad but in a way it felt like taking a shower after long day, you feel clean, finally.

also i liked the bus scene with the prisoners. i thought it was really morbid, horrifying really that jimmy tried to let saul go but he will forever be surrounded by people who won't let that happen, like the scene made me anxious even, i liked it.

I liked the prison bus scene too, I know it was supposed to convey how he’ll never be able to escape his Saul persona no matter how much it haunts him, but I got a weird sense of solace that him being recognized like that in prison would likely give him benefits amongst inmates and ultimately make his sentence easier kek

Vidrel, it's the trailer.
I cannot recommend Paper Girls enough, it's like if Stranger Things wasn't written by hacks.
Four girls meet and are accidentally transported to the future, and have to fight a war they don't fully understand to get home.

All the characters were compelling and 3D. They manage to touch on a lot of issues without it feeling pandery at all. They do a lot of really cool, capable things, but you're reminded often enough that they're literally just ordinary 12 year olds in a fucked up situation. The villians strike the right balance between cartoonish and conceptually terrifying. The timeline is confusing enough to be a challenge for the characters but the story doesn't get bogged down in paradoxes or logic puzzles.
I just really love seeing tweenage girls have their stories told with compassion, as well as the future versions of themselves.


I strongly belive in TV piracy, so you can watch paper girls on Amazon if you have that, but it's also on hurawatch dot cc (sorry don't know what the policy on linking to streaming sites is?).
I've also been using HDO BOX, which has the same huge range as hurawatch but in an app. You download it from hdo dot app and ignore the warning signs and allow your device to install apps from unknown source.

It's ten times better than Breaking Bad, nonnie. It's a lot more about character development, inner issues and relationships. I watched both and I can agree with others that BCS is the best, even it's ending makes a lot of sense.
The character writing is amazing, and I have to note the fact how much I love Kim (despite me not liking her actions in S6, but the ending fixed that), she was written like an actual woman instead of your typical scrote-writing.

Breaking Bag was about a resentful teacher becoming more and more ruthless, BCS is about one lawyer scamming his way to success and one lawyer doing her best for justice, and it's also probably one of the most realistic law tv series.

Breaking bad itself has been having a sort of renaissance with the tumblr girlies as well, so it's just by association and timing i think.

I agree with almost everything you said, nona, and I'm also a long-time Sandman comics fan. Tom Sturridge has a great voice for Morpheus, but wew he's not really the best actor in the world, is he? Works better when he's just silently staring at the camera, but he doesn't have the gravitas necessary when he's moving around and talking outside of voiceovers. And I also wish they shelled out more effort and/or money to keep his eyes black the entire time.
I'm also having a hard time appreciating Lucienne, since Lucien was kind of smarmy and she's not really bringing that element of the character.
The Corinthian being added into a lot more of the story works better than I thought it would, and I had low expectations for the actor but he's actually doing a great job.
I also wish they had done more with John Dee's appearance. His whole story gave me nightmares when I first read the comic as a teenager, and the show's version of that story wasn't as terrifyingly hilarious. Similarly, I thought Despair should have been more gruesome.
Hopefully they get Delirium and Destruction right, they have one of my favorite relationships in the comics.

This past Friday I walked into the room and saw my mom watching this. It's a South Korean show about an autistic lawyer navigating a world that dislikes her seeing as though she graduated top of her class and passed the bar with a near perfect score no one would hire her initially because of being autistic. It's a cute show showing all the characters growth(I'm not a good explainer). The cases are interesting. You get some beautiful shots of Korea. The episodes are long at an hour and 20 minutes. I'd like to hear others views on it. It has no English dub on Netflix brand English subtitles if you like that which is why I'm surprised because usually my mom won't watch something in another language without English dub for so long.

Is watching any of the Marvel shows without any knowledge of the movies a good idea? I'm not interested in the MCU as a whole and have no plan getting invested in it since I hate the concept of "cinematic universes" in general (it's way too fucking big).

Buuuuut… some of the Marvel shows HAVE peaked my interest. WandaVision's concept in particular is really cool to me (witch woman creates a fake sitcomesque life after the death of her husband? Count me in), as well as Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel's.

However I'm holding myself back since I feel like I should have prior knowledge to ALL of the previous MCU stuff to understand greater context of the plots or I'll just be left scratching my head in confusion if Character A mentions Character B and starts talking about Event X.

Again, I have no plan into getting into other MCU stuff besides the three I mentioned above. So to the marvel nonnies here: is it a good idea for me to watch them without past MCU knowledge or nah?

No. 232848

Moon knight requires no real prior knowledge.

For Wanda vision it’d be good to see how their relationship develops over age of ultron, civil war, infinity wars and endgame.

Hawkeye the first avengers movie and, like, 30secs of endgame (all you need to know is that Hawkeyes family got disappeared for 5years and to cope he took on a vigilante personality and hunted down gang members and bad guys).

I first watched The Sopranos when I was 14/15ish and loved it then because I grew up on films like Goodfellas and The Godfather but I have much more appreciation for it now at 31. Like >>233920 said there's a lot of symbolism in it and hints of supernatural stuff and that completely flew over my head at 14, kek. The older I've got and the more I've matured, the more my opinion of certain characters and story arcs has changed too. It spurs on a lot of re-wataches.

>>234027
I'm in the opposite position and want to know if I'll enjoy The Wire and if I should persevere with Breaking Bad. I got a couple seasons in on Breaking Bad (maybe more, it's been a long time since I watched it) but the pacing annoyed me. There was some payoff but overall it seemed quite slow to me and Walter and Jesse felt kinda two dimensional. I'd definitely recommend trying The Sopranos though, the pilot is a bit of an anomaly and season one has it's dull moments but give it time and it pays off. For me season two is probably my favourite, the plotlines from it were great. It's a damn good show in general though, the comedic tone might drop (think that was done on purpose though) but it explores a lot of concepts and is so much more than just a show about the mafia. Just don't watch the movie, it fucking sucks.

I didn't want to ask her this but did I read it right that the Turkish guy Pamuk performed anal on Mary so that she would keep her virginity then had a stroke or heart attack and possibly died inside her ass?

I thought The Wire definitely had a slower rhythm than Breaking Bad, certainly because it tries to be very realistic. It means no goofy yet believable actions by dumb mafiosi like in The Sopranos, and practically no originality or surprises in the way the episodes are filmed like in BB/BCS. I didn't like The Wire much because I thought that aside from the realism the show is rather plain and the story wouldn't have lost much if it had been told in a book. Of course there's a lot of people who will claim that it was the best show ever, but, unlike The Sopranos and BB, no one talks about The Wire today, which to me is a definite proof that it was the inferior show in the end

Lately I have been watching a UK TV show called Glow up which is a show about the best makeup artist. I normally like watching the previous season but this fourth season is a bit of a mess, it feels very "woke" and very on the nose with their diversity.

In the first episode the two contestants in the face-off had to create a reverse eyeliner look on identical models. One of the contestants ended up writting "Queer power 4eva" on their model's face and didn't even bother with an eyeliner look. Why bother applying if you can't even take a critique about your previous makeup look.

Has anyone else watched this show?

I watched every season that is on Netflix, god that guy was so cringe. Wish they've called him out on being disrespectful to the model. Also such bravery to say "queer 4ever" in a competition where everyone is lefty af.
S4 was the weakest imho, and there was way too many elaborate characterizations and if I remember correctly, not a single "regular" makeup main challenge. Most of the works looked pretty messy in the end, and it really feels like top 3 of this season would be eliminated in the beginning of any previous one. Can't believe dude did this one episode before the finale and they still let him pass lmao

Haven't seen that one yet but a friend of mine whose opinions on movies and tv shows I really trust saw and really enjoyed it, from the purely storytelling perspective. Having read the statements from victim's families I feel like I can't bring myself to watching it myself though; I'm interested in true crime so it would be hypocrisy for me to say that it's unethical to tell these stories at all, but the moment someone who actually lived it speaks against a production, it crosses the line for me, ethically; same with anything about still living serial killers who killed for notoriety - it will only make them feel more right about having committed these crimes, and therefore is disrespectful for the victims. That for me would include documentaries too sometimes, like Don't Fuck With Cats, since all that dude wanted was clout, so here he has it.
Honestly I can't think of a good movie that would take the real life serial killer story and just straight up retell it as it was; the only good ones would be these that just take a bit of truth but fit it into entirely fictional stories.

No. 241924

>>241919
I watched it, it's shot well and I think it did a good job in terms of narrative story telling while giving attention to the victims. Not to spoil but it specifically had an entire episode for one specific victim that no one really cared about at the time of his death. tbf, I'm glad they did that considering how at the time, literally no one cared, not nearly as much as the other victims, so tbf it felt respectful.
I think that films/shows that fetishize serial killers are disgusting and there are lots that glamorize it in a sense but the dahmer show isn't that.

tbh I think that it's important to make shows about them not just as a warning for people but also to understand the impact the deaths have on people. There's a lot of really good ones out there, especially on netflix, audrey and daisie (not a killer one) for example, or dear zachary (very impactful). Most of the big 'hollywood' movies like the recent one with ted bundy are just distasteful for me though.

No. 241952

>>241924
I think the reason docs like Dear Zachary work so well is because the family and friends of the victim(s) are heavily involved. When it comes to Hollywood productions about true crime it gets really murky with involvement from those who were directly impacted by the crimes being referenced. This is also why Don’t F with Cats doesn’t work for me and came off as extremely distasteful. The victim and his family are barely featured in any way. If the victim’s family didn’t want to be included then that’s a good indicator they shouldn’t move forward with a production.

No. 241957

>>241952
yeah 100%. Don't fuck with cats was pretty sensational and more focused on the people trying to figure it out rather than the victims themselves, and that's in part because the only reason he was really caught was due to them. I understand it's merits, but it does come off as distasteful.

BUT there are a ton of different shows/movies where the victim's families are at least compensated or involved in one way or another. Just thank your lucky stars there's no hollywoodesq movie about the toolbox killers (not toybox, but that guy is just as bad), because I bet you it'd be disgusting traumaporn for scrotes.

No. 241972

>>241957
For me more problematic about Dont F With Cats is that Magnotta's dream was to be known, he tried being a model, tried applying to reality tv shows, no one cared for him and he escalated to that violent murder which finally gave him attention. Still, as gruesome as it was, up until certain point you wouldn't find many true crime podcasters/channels cover the case, probably because Magnotta is still alive and would love nothing more than to hear that people are talking about him. I bet now he's waking every day elated and accomplished knowing there's a highly rated, multiple episodes long documentary all about him; that was topping netflix charts for some time. It's basically rewarding him for killing Jun Lin.

just started watching this and episode 1 was fucking amazing. it really managed to nail the vibe of the book and the story in a way that isn’t cheesy. i hope the rest of the series continues on like this. and it’s so gay which is what the movie was missing.

i was a bit nervous when i heard that they dropped louis’ original backstory to replace it with him being a pimp because in my mind that’s not that much better than being a slave owner, so i was wondering how they would portray it but i did appreciate at the end of the episode that louis confessed to the guilt and shame he feels for being a pimp and that his excuses to try and alleviate the guilt aren’t enough to erase the reality that he’s contributing to the suffering of women. it was unexpected but i appreciated it

I just finished the first two episodes last night. I have to say I really hate the actor for Lestat, he is so ugly and his voice sounds like Buffalo Bill's. Listen to him speak again and tell me he doesn't sound identical. I had to turn on subtitles because I actually found him difficult to understand at some points, he mumbles a lot. Also I found the gay scenes really corny and over the top. I just watched the movie with some of you playas and the contrast is really strong. There was this subtle tension in the movie that I'm just not getting in this version. It's as subtle as an explosion. I think the scene where Louis calls himself queer to mean gay was cringe and hamfisted. However I really like how since it's a show we have more time to explore the transition from human to vampire though and they did a great job with set and costume design so I will keep watching

I'm not familiar with the lead actress but she is, to be blunt, fucking awful in this.

That was a choice they made, not to focus on her joyful expression or another second of her dancing with her idol but a close up of her ass… what’s the bet there’s a naked version tucked away on someone’s work computer?

Agree on the bit where he used "queer" to mean "gay." That felt really anachronistic to me. Queer just meant "weird" back then.
I also didn't like the bit where a punch went through a guy's head. That was so corny, it felt like something straight out of a Sam Raimi movie. Like the way the brains hit the camera was so goofy and gratuitous. It wasn't scary at all, it just made me burst out laughing.

However I really like Sam Reid's performance, which kind of surprised me because I was so meh about him when I first heard that was who they cast. I liked that they gave him a French accent, and they capture they way Lestat alternates between flamboyant and unhinged really well. Also, while I'm not into him out of costume, I think Sam Reid is more attractive than Tom Cruise was in '94.

On the whole though, I love the show. I hope they eventually release it on Blu-ray, because I don't want AMC+ but I want to support the show.

Anyone watching Rings of Power? I've heard so much negative feedback on it that I expected to hate it, but I'm enjoying it so far, possibly more than House of the Dragon. Good sense of mystery and suspense and the acting isn't bad (apart from the extras).

Probably, but Mariana rejected Lister over and over and over. She was also embarrassed by Lister's nonconformity (she was mortified to be seen with Lister in public). She decided to marry Charles Lawton, she made her decision and even encouraged Lister to marry a scrote too. She doesn't actually understand Lister at all. While she might be right about Ann and Anne's relationship, it seems she doesn't know how to reflect on the relationship she herself had with Lister and doesn't seem to comprehend why Lister doesn't want to do the same as she did. The only reason Marianne doesn't even want Walker at Shibden, is just because that was her contingency plan when Lawton dies. She doesn't actually give a shit about Lister and I'm not sure if marrying scrotes for money and shitting on her for not being feminine enough is the kind of challenge Lister really needs.

Finally watched Breaking Bad and I have that thought about it, idk if it's weird but it stood out to me: even though it's about such a violent subject, there's no sexual violence and no excessive violence scenes for the shock value only. I feel like modern showrunners would definitely use the subject of drug and cartels to just direct and show some disgusting things that would add nothing to the plot, we see it so much in tv shows now just to "establish the grittiness and realism"; for example the unnecessary nudity and rape in Game of Thrones. And in Breaking Bad there's nothing like this, yet no one has any doubts that what we're watching is a dark story mean for adult audience. I've spent entire show stressing out about female characters, Skyler, Marie, family of Mike, that there's no way showrunners will shy away from the trope of hurting a significant other to strenghten a resolve of some male character, and yet they didn't do that. Same with any cartel scenes, that with so many ties prostitution has to drugs there will be something awful shown, but the furthest it went was showing that Don Eladio invited hostesses to his party, and after things transpired they were allowed to just go away free, despite being witnesses.
IDK maybe it's mildly autistic but I'm so glad to watch a tv series that shows one doesn't have to resort to violence agains women to have a dark and realistic story.

I recommend Better Call Saul so much. The way Kim Wexler was written amazed me, it's probably the only popular tv show with a female character who actually is written like a proper woman instead of some retarded male-gaze shit. I love how BCS also focuses on character development and their inner dramas. It's amazing. I can't wait for the writer to create more shows or movies.

I totally agree nonnie, and even when shit does occur (like Walt trying to have sex with skyler when she has on that face mask or when he comes on to the principal) he just comes across as an animalistic moid and it’s not shown in some voyeuristic titillating way.
Despite flaws of older shows in how they depicted women at least they weren’t depicting them with the sole purpose of raping them or exposing the actresses naked bodies to male audiences. Getting very sick of modern shows treating women being violated as a source of entertainment. Much funner watch a bunch of scrotes killing each other and leaving women out of it.

I just want to gripe that I absolutely loved What We Do In The Shadows, both the original movie and the tv show, but the TV show has gone so downhill since season 2 it's disappointing. It's just not as funny as it used to be and I can't put my finger on why

I enjoyed parts of the last season, especially when Colin was the nightclub entertainment before he hit puberty. But it did feel kind of pointless in the end. I love Nadja to death, so almost everything she was involved in was great.
But I agree in general. It's lost some of its magic. I miss the LARPing nerds from the first season (and yeah, even Beanie Feldstein), I miss seeing other supernatural beings and creatures (which is why the nightmarket was one of the better episodes this season), and I miss learning more about their mundane lives and histories. Nandor's wives story arc wasn't as exciting as I thought it might be, especially since they got rid of all of them so quickly.
And I agree with >>248734 that sassy homo Guillermo is not much fun.

Overall I think both Nandor and Guillermo character progression makes them less funny to me too, but then Nadja keeps being amazing and Laszlo just keeps getting funnier, his and Colins plotline in the last season carried the show. The "manly retreat" with Sean episode was hilarious.

Getting tired of every single historical drama I try to watch having gratuitous sex scenes. Not sure why that's necessary because most of the time they don't even show the genitals, at most they'll show ass and tits usually.

Was anyone else massively disapointed by Del Toro's Cabinet of Cuirosities? I felt like it was a collection of cliched and overdone tropes, with no effort to do anything new or different.

I liked the first season. But then s2 came and the episodes were suddenly 22 minutes long and didn't work at all anymore.

Anyone else watching Interview with the vampire? It's soooooo good, even though it takes big liberties, where it matters you can tell there's a lot of admiration and care for the original story. I didn't expect to love it as much, I was actually one of these people really skeptical about everything after initial info was released; said liberties, the casting… it all falls into place and the casting honestly is perfect; chemistry between Louis and Lestat is incredible and makes me feel like I'm back in my teenage years, heart fluttering as I read the books.

I've watched the first two episodes, fell behind but I'll catch up. I like it so far. The elaborate meal where Lois eats a live fox at the dining table was weird. Lestat's actor seems really into his role which is nice to see; sometimes he comes off as immature which I'm not sure really goes but I didn't read the books.

Ann Rice superfan I talked to was pissed (but still watching the show, because vampires) when they saw the reporter is old now because he didn't immediately drive 30 hours while listening back over his recordings with Lois to figure out where Lestat was buried and beg him to be turned into a vampire, which is what happened in the book? If I'm remembering that right.

Yeah the reporter's story is one of these cases where liberties were taken; i totally get it that if someone is a vampire chronicles purist (not a bad thing!) it can be a bit much; but from what I've seen there are plenty of people like me who are also big fans but enjoy the changes, and since I don't see a lot of discussions about this show at all I just hope to maybe convince someone to give the series a shot despite some reservations anyone who read the books could have. It's comparable to The Walking Dead (also amc actually) where it strayed away from the original from the very beginning but ended up (until certain point) being an adaptation both fans of the comics and newcomers loved

I know I'm late to the party but I just watched True Detective Season 1 for the first time and really enjoyed it, I like that it was pretty short and sweet with a fairly straightforward plot, while still having a lot of pretty cinematography, interesting symbolism, and good performances to keep me engaged. The beginning gave me major Deadly Premonition vibes, so I was invested right away. I was hesitant about the two main characters at first but they have good arcs and a realistically fragile relationship (also I never thought McConaughey was attractive but oh boy do I get it now…tfw no troubled, cryptic, autistic cop bf, kek). Are the following seasons worth watching? Also, does anyone have any reccomendations for short (like, 10-ish episodes) dramas, especially thrillers or crime dramas? I've seen and liked Big Little Lies, Sharp Objects, and the first three seasons of Fargo, if that helps eliminate suggestions.

As a book reader, I didn't expect to enjoy AMC's Interview with the Vampire as much as I did. I had serious doubts after seeing the initial news and pictures, but now I'm sold. Liked this Louis (much better than Brad Pitt's) and Claudia, and this Lestat almost made me forget about Tom Cruise's, he was mad charismatic. The chemistry between the main actors.

I liked Frasier I watched the whole thing but it makes it even funnier to me to know Kelsey Grammar heavily disliked the dog that played Eddie and was jelly of the dog's fame. He tries to clarify in interviews that he isn't but he clearly is, he's like "w-well I take acting seriously and the dog isn't REALLY an actor!!" Like shove it up your ass dude Eddie made the show funnier than just your fat ass courting some random woman of the week

One of Moose's (dog who played Eddie) sons, Enzo, took over the role for him in the later seasons. Also the lady who played Roz, Peri Gilpin, had one of the puppies that Moose fathered named Moosie. I find it funny that Moose would just stare at Kelsey so the writers made it a gag in the show. Dog knew how to troll Kelsey.

I've finished the series today, it honestly seemed pretty charming and had a good hook in the beginning. I think it works better if you do forget it's about the Addams family and just treat it like another Umbrella/Magic school with OCs, because they're so OOC. The thing is that the twist and mystery is very weak, it becomes very clear right after they introduce the mystery, and yet you have to watch her do and deal with the usual red herring crap for half the series. Any young adult novel trope you can recognize plays out the exact same way you'd assume from beginning to end. I guess it is supposed to be aimed at like a 10-13 audience, but I was still disappointed.

>>258258
I didn't get why she was so rebellious against her parents either, she was always respectful towards her parents, not a permanent snarker. I guess it's supposed to be teen angst, but it's not only explored beyond the "I can't be perfect and don't wanna be a housewife like you mom"

Also not directly related to the series but as I was trying to look up the general reactions to the series, the main actress seems like a massive cringelord.

Werewolf roommate Enid was honestly the best part of the show, she was actually fun-creepy with her rainbow claw nails and she had charisma on screen. Somehow Wednesday wound up looking really plain next to her instead of them both being two extremes. They didn't go hard enough with Wednesday's look and the actress portrayed her as a "sad misguided loner" instead of the no-fucks eccentric she's supposed to be which just took all the life out of the character.

There are all kinds of classic horror and creepypasta monsters in the series. You wouldn't even really know it if it wasn't outright stated, as everyone's in their human form 99% of the time to save on special effects costs, which might actually be lamer than the story itself. The Addams family are a family of witches now too, they have psychic visions.

Both of these shows are amazing honestly. Physical is so raw and unhinged and while it gets a bit kooky, it shows the reality of EDs. It's funny, it's sad, it's crazy and it's got literally everything. S1 of White Lotus kept me hooked, literally finished it in a day. The characters are well developed and interesting even when they're rich, white assholes. It was so sad watching Rachel spiral while her idiot husband couldn't understand what's going on with her. And in the end she chose money over self respect and independence. She was a very relatable character for me, minus the billionaire husband part. I'm really interested what S2 is like, can't wait to start watching.

White Lotus really doesn't deserve the praise it's getting, especially the second season. In both you can tell it was written by a scrote, at least the first one had a few strong themes carrying it nonetheless; second one just falls flat completely. Tanya is so obviously written for the "funny" gays to quote online, it was the smallest surprise ever when I found out that the showrunner is a white faggot himself. Not even the comedy is good; it's hard to mix drama and comedy well and it just doesn't land well here, it's too uneven, like he tries to have comedy but is too afraid to actually commit to making it properly dark and absurd in every case except Tanya's, where the actress is just good enough to carry the show on her shoulders all by herself. But then with her being so absurd and everyone else having their characters and storylines written in a realistic way, the mood of the show is all over the place. The only solid part is the music, which is to be expected with this composer. Given the show's popularity I wonder what is it going to be like in the 3rd season without Tanya bringing in the absurdness. The concept actually has a solid potential so I genuinely wish there was someone better in charge of it

Yeah it was painfully on the nose, but ultimately having seen both seasons I've realized that personally I prefered having this one established social commentary theme tying all of these different characters together as one cohesive storyline approached from various angles and ultimately logically leading up to the season finale's death, as cringy as this whole RICH AMERICANS IN HAWAII BAD? was; and in 2nd season there really was nothing except americans having extramarital sex; and final death felt completely separate from every other plotline, and the characters were caricatures just as much.

I found the portrayal of the Addams confusing. its like they couldn't really decide if the Addams world was full of psychos or not. Like Wednesday's morals/ethics are highly inconsistent.

Like why WOULDN'T Wednesday want her dad to be a killer?

I didn’t like the first one by the end because it didn’t seem like the writers understood the story they were telling… if that makes sense.

And the stereotypes made me roll my eyes but I guess that was supposed to be funny? I expected a subversion there somewhere but it never happened, they just stayed stereotypes.

The only struggle with Voyager is inconsistent characterization because of all the different writers wanting to go in different directions, and TNG had that problem sometimes too. There's probably some misogyny involved for the people who really hate Voyager if they liked TNG.

I’ve really only enjoyed the first season as cliche and problematic as it was, but of course netflix had to turn it into some bullshit like they did with black mirror too. The character of Love from what I recall was cringe as fuck so I expect the new season to be crap considering I remember almost nothing at all besides the embarrassing characterization and attempts at self aware “say what the audience is thinking” commentary.

Just finished watching and HATED it, I don’t think I’ll watch the rest of the episodes when they drop in March. I was groaning when it didn’t end after season 3, because 1. Where the hell else could they take this? Stalk another girl? boring and 2. I WANT THIS DUMB ASSHOLE TO GET CAUGHT AND ARRESTED ALREADY. What started as a series about a fucking crazy ass stalker is now some murder mystery where it feels like he’s not even the villain anymore, this also happened with 13 reasons why, like just end the series after the story has been told, prolonging it to bring in more money with a weak story is just annoying.

No. They completely destroyed the emotional core of the story which made the last of us so good. As typical with Hollywood whoever is writing this is afraid of feeling honest emotions so every single true bond that the characters have in the game have been re-written as to destroy them.

Also seems they felt like what was missing from the game was a graphic scene of female exploitation. Now we can see a female character which originally had a dignified death be humiliated and assaulted right before her death! How nice!

>I'm watching and the amount of ballooned up people on steroids is insane
It’s kinda crazy how the general public is so oblivious to how common steroid use really is. If you look at the top 30 fastest 100m sprint times, only Usain Bolt has tested negative, so does that really mean only Usain Bolt is natural and everyone is cheating? No, everyone is doping at the highest level of almost every physical sport. It’s just that people aren’t aware of it. IMO, actors and social media influencers are more egregious about the PED issue than athletes as they’re on tour or on press lying that they’re natural and just eat “Chicken, rice and broccoli”. I know they contractually obligated to say so but still.

Has anyone watched Severance? I saw the first 30 seconds of the first episode in a YouTube video and went to watch it. Ended up binging the entire thing. It’s not incredibly fast paced, but it really keeps you engaged. It’s sci-fi/mystery, but I recommend going into it blind if you’re even the least bit interested. The first episode is on Apple for free but I’m sure there are torrents for the remaining episodes. My only real gripe so far is that the dark scenes are just too dark. There’s only short points of high contrast, but they aren’t lingered on enough and look accidental. It feels like watching a tv that’s facing direct sunlight. I want to sperg so bad, but my only friend without a pea sized attention span towards TV doesn’t know how to download shit.

I’m the anon who first brought up Severance and I posted my reply because I had just finished the last episode of the season. I have not been this hyped at a finale episode in a long time. The moment the “Ms. Cobel” slipped out I started losing it. Also I’m so glad the baby was ok and also that Irv didn’t wake up while driving and crash or something. They really pumped up the dread with those things. I also think the insight into the outies lives the final two episodes gives some interesting food for thought regarding the innie personalities. I’m hoping the September season two release rumors are true!

I’ll level with you: Adam Scott looks ragged as shit and I don’t think it’s on purpose. I wasn’t sure if I was being hard on his “outie” acting because of it, but I still ended up enjoying the show anyway. I’ll save my follow up 2X comments for another thread kek.

I haven't watched Breaking Bad since it aired (I was in high school at the time), I remembered it being silly and dramatic but very entertaining and engaging. I was hesitant to start Better Call Saul but I just finished Season 4 and holy shit it's great. I honestly think it's better than Breaking Bad – the character motivations are more nuanced and the women are so much more well-written. Oftentimes a scene or episode will end and I'm confused in a good way, left wondering what a particular character was thinking based on their reactions. They feel like real people sometimes in that they aren't always easy to read. A great example is Hamlin – my opinion on him changed so many times because I couldn't quite pin down what he wanted from Jimmy or his firm. Plus there's plenty of Mike Ehrmantraut, who was always my favorite.

Honestly the story gets better as the show goes on and finds it's identity that being after Season 1. Once you hit Season 6, it starts to seem as if David is done with the show. Personally when I binge watch it, I stop after X dies because the story becomes kinda lame. I didn't care for the focus on Krycek nor the black alien goo. Scully's treatment becomes worse as the show goes on. The writer's clearly start hating Gillian the older she becomes because they reoccurringly compare her to younger female characters. Her in-show pregnancy made little sense and the explanation as to how she became pregnant is infuriatingly disgusting. I lost complete respect for Chris Carter upon finding out. Scully deserved better.

I'm halfway through season 6 of Better Call Saul and it's so hard for me to get through it. Not because I don't enjoy it, no, I think it's incredible. It's because I know it ends tragically Nacho's death has already taken a toll on me and I'm not ready for more and it makes me not want to finish the season before things get worse for Jimmy.

I've been watching Malcolm in the Middle's 1st season, and I'm so in love with the series. I don't really know why, since I find it hard to stomach series or movies that focus on scrotes. I don't feel that way with Malcolm tho.
I wonder if it is because the male characters are all kids, except for Francis and Hal. And even then, Hal's character is kind of parodic, and Francis has that "big brother" role that makes him endearing. I heard that the series start to go to shit once the kids grow up (aka, when they become teenagers?), which makes me sad. I already feel sad that Malcolm's teacher won't appear anymore, same with Francis' hot black friend.

I just started rewatching the series a few days ago! I grew up watching so it’s very nostalgic and relatable to me, as an adult now I sympathize a lot with Lois. I agree it’s not as good in later seasons and suffers the sitcom thing where stories become more and more ridiculous but there are still things to enjoy and the relationship dynamics/comedy are worth it. And while the male characters do have their scrote moments sometimes it’s always projected that they’re the idiots for it which is probably why it’s easier to stomach when it’s self aware.

It's one of my favorites too! I rewatch it every year. Wouldn't say it goes to shit though, yeah maybe some episodes aren't the best and can get too ridiculous but in overall I still could enjoy later seasons. The writing is great, the show didn't age poorly imo, I appreciate it that it can sort of raise certain issues but it's always comedic and light-hearted and is never preachy and patronizing to the viewer. I like that Lois and Hal actually have loving and passionate relationships (as opposed to some tv couples where spouses are passive aggressive to each other and dad's ass is constantly glued to the armchair) and that everyone really cares for each other deep down but it doesn't turn into especially sentimental and cheesy scenes. I also like that Malcolm, despite being "the smartest", is still an overthinking dumbass when it comes to relationships and is not "the most adequate" or something because he's a typical negativistic and conceited teen. Basically, everyone's flawed in their own way but have their unique strengths, too, and although personality traits and quirks are exaggerated for comedic purposes, it's done in a pretty organic and non-annoying way. Guess the time to rewatch has come, hehe

Physical and Maid are very good shows in my opinion (although they're a little triggering sometimes lol). Any shows in a similar vein as them? Leading woman dealing with an imperfect life as a woman, having serious issues but moving forward. I did not hear about these when they came out so clearly I'm not tapped into the right channels. I also liked Ginny & Georgia even though it's a little more romcom sometimes (did not hear a word about it until season 2 came out!).

It's my favorite family-focused sitcom ever along with KotH. I don't care what anybody says, I love the later seasons. In fact I think the season(s) when Francis still works at the ranch might be my favorite era of the show. I like their dynamics more when they're older, but even if you disagree with that, later seasons are still funny. There are also other memorable characters that are introduced later that you may like.
Even now that I'm more radfem-aligned I don't mind the boys' scroteyness, because like other nonny said, they're clearly portrayed as the idiots and as being in the wrong, and they usually end up regretting their behavior for one reason or another, whether because their conscience makes them feel guilty or because they get an appropriate punishment for it. The worst one out of the three main sons is Reese, but always getting his comeuppance as he's usually presented as an antagonist of sorts, sometimes showing a more sensitive side, being dumb, and maturing a bit in later seasons, makes him more tolerable as a character.
I also love how the parents love each other unconditionally (which is also a reason why I love KotH) and how Hal is more in love and devoted to Lois than she is to him, and he is the submissive and passive parent while she is nearly always portrayed as a badass, so that helps a lot to balance things out too. She's the one who imposes order in the family while he is the sensitive one, usually on TV it's the opposite. The boys also love their family despite being so chaotic and cruel to each other, it's kind of heartwarming. Francis is a perverted scrote at first but then matures a lot, and settles, having a loving relationship with his wife, and frankly I find his relationship with his mother absolutely hilarious.

I tried watching secret diary of a callgirl and stopped halfway through season 2. The main character is just so unlikeable, and her best friend (Ben I think his name is?) is even worse. Belle/Hannah needs to remind the audience of how she's NLOG all of the time. Ben is clearly still in love with her and is always bitching about his gf who he should just break up with but doesn't for some reason. I might circle back to it at some point though

I didn't play the game, but that episode was the basic post apocalyptic zombie stuff, it didn't need a warning if you have seen stuff like The Walking Dead or other movies/shows based on that genre before. For me it's one of the most realistic scenarios of a world without rules, where you fight to survive and people with bad intentions have the power to decide things.

Here for you.
> Grown men found it necessary to bring attention to a 13 year old girls period not once but twice. It’s typical male shit that every moid does when you tell him to imagine a women in the apocalypse. Well how do those mystical, silly women deal with their period.
> age gape relationship with a nearly adult 13 vs 17
> adding in the entire Victoria secret dialogue and panning the camera to show Ellie’s reflection in it. Making sure the audience got the message in a way that wasn’t age appropriate for an adult audience with characters who should be young girls.
> David’s entire section was changed and added. He’s suddenly a pedo. The violence the whole episode was extreme against Ellie, but David’s was always partially covered or off screen. We only had to watch her suffer the violence clearly. They took out the entire zombie part and completely let the story in the episode fall apart. Why was it an ear and not something like a finger? They had the bodies somewhere else are they eating the heads? Where did all the people in the resort go? They didn’t hear any of this? How did Joel just walk into the bodies and none of the 50 other people did? They also did a piss poor job at showing them being deep in it since there were three bodies and everyone I know who didn’t play the game called me confused. The entire scene with Ellie at the end is also shot from over David’s side and perspective. We watch her from mostly his view. Not hers. This is typically male fantasy wank shit and it shows. It wasn’t properly labeled with a warning at the beginning and was entirely unnecessary to the story.
> that weird kiss with Tess for no reason with the zombie.
How about some more shit from the games:
> both of Ellie’s love interests die in the game in a kill your gays trope.
> Abby essentially gets assaulted on the boat by her drunk ex and it’s never addressed. They fight. It gets physically. They have sex while she clearly looks uncomfortable the whole time.

Try Shameless (same producers as Maid), the oldest daughter is one of the "main" characters (all siblings have a season that revolves more around them) and I enjoyed it very much. There's a fakeboi season but it's toward the end, I mostly skipped that.

I loved "Shining Girls" - it's about a murder victim that survived the attack.

(Ellie doesn’t have a bow. She has a gun. She jumps them rather than them approaching her and trying to talk)
> David says he knows Ellie’s friend killed one of theirs
(Rather than trying to approach her gently with manipulation, he’s weird and off putting followed by vaguely threatening in the show.)
> no clicker shows up. Ellie takes off at the news he knows.
(Rather than clicker that David shoots proving the whole time he had a second gun and could have attacked her but chose not to. It’s why she goes with him later. No zombie standoff and fight to get out and then the everything happens for a reason speech)
> they show up looking for Ellie she takes horse and tries to draw them away.
(Rather than gathering attention she fires blindly at them, pissing them off, but not taking the opportunity to actual hit and kill one of them, why have her shoot at all?)
> beanie man knocks her off horse, she’s unconscious. (No run and no fighting. She’s done.)
> cult men want to shoot her. David shows up and shoots in the air and then tells them to drag the horse and search till they find Joel.
(Rather than David catching Ellie and her trying to stab him the first time, in game he tells her, “Relax I’m keeping you alive here.” We get none of that here. He’s weird and off putting but not in that I’m turning on the charm and am actually a shit bag way if that makes sense.)
> ellie wakes up in cage (no arms on table in kitchen. It’s an ear under the table? Can’t have gore just implied attempted sexual violence I guess.)
> ellie doesn’t eat the food. No real talking happens. David kind of rants at her manically that he’s a pyscho who’s always been edgy and she his only equal. He puts his hand on hers and there’s a clear heavy implication here. She breaks his finger cue. Tell them my name is Ellie. The little girl who broke your fucking finger. (Ellie in game eats food. David attempts to convince her it’s survival and neither of them are bad guys. No weird rant about psychos and equals.)
> beanie man and David come to kill Ellie and eat her. She fights back. Bites David reveals infection. Then in their surprise meat clears beanie man in the next.
> Ellie escapes and runs into lodge. No weapons so she grabs a burning log from the fire. Tries to chuck it at David setting the lodge on fire. David rants about how he’s “decide to teach her and she’ll learn” etc. extremely clear what he means
(David doesn’t call group or more men. No line about we’re going to find her and kill her.)
> ellie stabs him in abdomen and then moments later David jumps her and attacks her on ground. (Ellie in game is fighting and fleeing from cult people wondering what the fuck is wrong from them before this part in game for reference. No creepy I’ll teach you dialogue. Just obsession with how she’s not turning.)
> he grabs her pants and tells her the fighting is the part I like the most after he’s been harming her on the ground for a minute. Clearly meaning he wants to assault her.
(In game he instead chokes her, “you don’t know what I’m capable of.)
> ellie hits him with blade
> ellie hits him lots of times with blade, she eventually has to flee building on fire.
(No Joel pulling her away.)
> outside Joel comes up from behind, he’s seen no cult people? (Which would make sense if Ellie killed them, but she didn’t in the show.) Just the three bodies hanging in boat house or whatever it is. He approaches Ellie from behind. She freaks out. He hugs her and says it’s okay babygirl.
(Instead of him coming to save her and pulling her off David’s dead body)
(the scene with Joel is pretty much the same where he tortured the guys, but I think the game they’re tied up and in the show they’re duct taped which I thought was kind of a weird choice.)
(There’s also a derail scene with the cult people where we’re made to see the wife and daughter of the man who Joel killed and we have to watch David slap the girl to drive home his religious daddy cult vibes, but there’s not really a point or conclusion and it goes nowhere. It felt really pointless.)

No. 281812

>>281797
Totally agree! I only played the game and I don't think it was done in poor taste there. Just an obvious power dynamic which between men and women is usually sexual in nature. Moreso than to just have sex with her he wants full control over her bodily autonomy. The fact that she's actively fighting against that is what keeps his obsession going. He's not just there to capture Ellie and rape her. He wants to break her spirit and show her who's in charge. His boss fight made my heart race as it purposefully strips away the player's power by making Ellie stealthily sneak around which lets the player feel a lot weaker instead of having it be an action focused fight scene.

With the perfect ending of her stabbing him over and over until Joel comes to tell her she's safe now and they'll get out of here. I especially like how the camera is fully focused on Ellie and what she's feeling instead of David's body getting mutilated. The player should be pretty desensitised to violence at this point anyways and the scene is not about David's demise. It's about Ellie's victory. Just so satisfying to finally watch her triumph over this creepy old dude who thought he could have any power over her.

Also sorry if I'm praising the game too much. I played it when I was 12 and thought it was awesome the game would also let you play as Ellie. A character I could much more relate to than a guy in his late 30s.

Calm down and read please. The game does not make it a side point, if you didn't get the SA undertones from that whole chapter you are willfully ignorant.

I didn’t miss it. The point was the show did a shit job of doing it. It turned something that was well done and emotional enough into absolutely garbage. They changed the entire archetype of David and cut out zombies in a zombie show to show us an unrelated teenage girl getting slapped. It would only be written by a male director if you refuse to call it moid shit sorry for your moid brain I guess. You get the episode was shit but refuse to admit they did it because they wrote with one dick in their hand and that’s my fucking point. I never said the undertones weren’t there.

this show's based on a fairly popular and well reviewed graphic novel(the type you find almost always in a school library) its mostly about a Chinese boy in high school who has identity issues with a parallel story about the Monkey King, barring the end there are really no mystical or supernatural elements in the story of the Chinese boy, so its kinda jarring they turned that into a wuxia inspired martial arts series

The first episode was pretty interesting and pulled me in but then after the second and third one, it completely lost me.
The show is about an autistic girl named Dre who runs a fan account for N'ijah (aka fake Beyoncé) who goes on a murdering spree stalking and killing anyone who tweets dissing N'ijah. That's it. That's the whole show. Someone disses Fake Beyoncé, Dre stalks and kills them, rinse and repeat.
There is no depth or nuance, it's filled with void pop culture reference, shot like a shitty student film, main character is extremely autistic and hard to watch.

Does anyone have any show recommendations that are similar to bbc’s Sherlock in that you know the protag is going to win but the interest is in how?

I get you with being tired of the depressing shit. Had to stop watching FBI Most Wanted despite having an actor I like because they had two episodes about pedo stuff this season and it was hitting too close to home.
I like the new Magnum PI, it's funny how it still has murder cases sometimes but the vibe is so fun and sunny that it doesn't feel that grim at all.

No. 284596

>>284566
I had the same idea, because you know who committed a crime and you know Monk will figure it out, you just don't know how.

Also, not sure if anime recs are welcome but these fit the idea- Initial D because the mc basically always wins but the races are still exciting, and One Outs is a gambling/baseball series where the genius mc is always one step ahead and the tension comes from finding out how he's gonna win.

Thank you for the rec! Just watched the first episode and really enjoyed it. The tone is so different to modern stuff. Even when people are treating him like he isn’t capable they eat their words and seem humbled by it instead of further denigrating him to make themselves feel and look better.

>>284596
Yes anime recs are welcome! I got crunchy roll and I’m trying to filter through all the fanservice bullshit to find good gems, so if you have any other recommendations I’d really appreciate it.

I think many of the 80s private detective shows are enjoyable without the real horror that something like Mindhunter or Criminal Minds present. I like Magnum PI, too, not only because I enjoy some Tom Selleck screentime, kek. What comes to my mind would be Columbo, it's older than Sherlock Holmes and Monk, but still a good and pleasant watch.

has anyone watched school spirits? i saw an ad for it on youtube and thought it looked intersting, its a whodunit from the perspective of the girl who died. its just a teen show so its not the most amazing thing ive seen but its pretty good so far. funnily enough its produced by awesomenessTV for anyone who remembers all their shitty youtube shows, but apparently its an adaptation of a graphic novel so thats probably why its so good with it being an awesomnessTV show. i didnt go into it with high expectations though so thats probably why im not offended by it, especially considering my last teen show was wednesday lmao.

Has anyone watched Corporate? It's a surreal comedy show that aired 2018-2020 with 3 seasons but is super underrated imo. Just started a re-watch after Lance Reddick - who also stars in this - passed away.
It focuses on two employees who are in an abusive relationship with the multinational corporation they work for. The women characters don't just exist as love interests for the male characters (refreshing) and it doesn't try to romanticise or excuse the drudgery of work life (in the same way that Severance avoids it, except with more comic relief).

I need to know though, someone told me that in the very first episode there was a graphic terrible scene of three teenage boys brutalizing a female teacher to death? Is this true? Interestingly the doesthedogdie page for the first episode doesn't say anything about ANYTHING other than one vote for "No" RE:the questions of if some is raped of sexually assaulted on screen. Very fishy.
And wikipedia summary just says "In May 2002, Jimmy McGill is a struggling Albuquerque attorney. After representing three teenagers as a public defender, Jimmy is frustrated to be paid only $700" which doesn't help but honestly nonas I don't know where to look other than just the episode and possibly upsetting myself. What am I in for with this show?

i think i've seen the first episode twice now, i don't think so- i'd remember if there was. i havent finished the series but
in the first 5 seasons the violence is mostly male on male. basically the same kind of violence as in breaking bad.

No. 299198

there is quite a bit of violence in the show but i don’t remember there being any rape, or much violence against women in general. but it’s been awhile since i saw the first few seasons so other anons can correct me if i’m wrong. in the first episode jimmy defends three boys who broke into a morgue and defiled a man’s corpse but it’s not shown onscreen and is mostly played for laughs. i honestly can’t remember anything super graphic but there is some occasional blood and gore. i thought it was a great show overall, i hope you enjoy it nonnie.

The TV Trope episode summary goes into more detail than wikipedia's. And the boys say "Mrs Swanson's fourth period biology class, this one is for you." before they start cutting the head off the corpse (which is not shown on screen). I can see if someone wasn't paying close attention, they could have gotten confused and then bad memories and internet telephone led to what you heard.

No? Who told you that? It has been a while since I've seen the first episode, but I do not remember anything at all like what you're describing. There was a case where Jimmy has to defend three teenagers like someone here mentioned, because they brutalize a corpse, but I'm pretty sure it was a male one. Generally can't remember much of male on female violence, it's mostly centered on males hurting each other.

Started watching the series over a month ago, I just started season 2 and I'm 4 episodes in. Such a difference from the first season. They really just give you the entire meat and potatoes not even halfway through the episodes here. I don't really enjoy watching the characters get to the point of what we already know, I liked figuring things out along with the characters like in the first season. This was a time television was in full experimentation mode, but goddamn what a change. Mulder and Scully are such a great team. The show is written extremely well. I know the major movie is the in between point of seasons 4 and 5, so I do have a bit to go until I get to the peak of the series. I'm actually amazed, every episode grew in audience by about 25% from the beginning. Season one is extremely well done, I'm surprised season 2 episodes won so many awards lol

Just finished watching Daybreak and making my way through Flashforward and I'm surprised at how good they are? Like I was led to believe that the 2000s were only chock full of shitty reality tv, sitcoms, and crime procedurals, and that aside from Lost, The Office, The Wire, and The Sopranos, there was nothing else good to watch? These shows are surprisingly good, with tight dialogue, unique plot and good acting. Better than some of the garbage being released today that's for sure.

hi, nonnies, I wanted a recommendation for a show that is a few seasons, stars mostly or only women with limited to no romance, doesn't take place in a stereotypical setting (i.e., suburbia or a house), is comedic, and wholesome?

>>306666
some compromises here but… Derry Girls, Russian Doll (lot of drugs), 30 Rock, VEEP, The Good Place is wholesomeish and in a weird setting and has a female lead, Girls or Sex & the City (there's always relationship drama if that's ok, wholesomeness levels poor for Girls), Ginny & Georgia (literally set in suburbia and their house sorry, it leans dramatic not comedic but I think it has a very wholesome message), Friends is half female, 2 Broke Girls is stupid but they have a nice friendship dynamic, New Girl is extremely wholesome but has more male actors, you could watch Golden Girls for a throwback, Brooklyn Nine Nine is like half/half men/women, SMILF is not that wholesome except when it is and it's really funny sometimes but uncomfortable, Daria the cartoon, you could try a prison drama like Wentworth or Orange is the New Black if you just want the female cast but not a comedy and not wholesome, Santa Clarita Diet has a suburban setting but an absurd premise much like Good Girls but weirder, and finally if you change your mind or get disappointed with the way the female characters are written and just don't even want to watch a majority female cast but you still want something funny then you should watch Trailer Park Boys because it's hilarious.

Is it worth watching the original Star Trek series? I'm not really familiar with sci-fi in general (I love the OT Star Wars but I have heard it's way different than other sci-fis of that area).

Just watched the newest Invincible episode, disappointed. Plot was lacking, characterization was shallow, dialogue was stupid and nonsensical at times and the animation has dipped which I don’t really care about but with everything else it just makes it seem like they didn’t care or had to rush it.

My little sister is now watching Gossip Girl, which is funny because when my other sisters and I watched it on TV we were in middle and high school and she was in kindergarten. I forgot most of what happens so sometimes I watch just one episode here and there and it's as stupid as I remember but she's really into it, it's hilarious. I also started a k drama on Netflix with another sister and it's infuriating, everyone cheats on everyone and then there's the mandatory rixh as fuck family ruining things for the lower class characters. I don't have my own account but when I'll make one I'll watch the rest. But I want to watch Supernatural and it's on Amazon where I live.

Finally finished S1 and I really enjoyed it. Nice to see an adult series centered around two female characters, one of whom is bi, that doesn't rely on cheap sex tropes but is still a little raunchy, has something resembling a plot, likable characters and is clever.

Am I the only one who finds Better Call Saul really overrated? It's an okayish show, just above mediocre, but the protagonists are all just so unlikable. I really don't see what's so interesting about two immature crybabies (Saul and Kim) that act bratty all the time when they're expected to what, just act professionally and do their job?

Some of the stuff with Nacho and the Cartel was interesting, but I feel like over-explaning the backstory to Breaking Bad ruined a lot of the mystery of just how Gus's operation came into being. Sometimes things are best left blank so you can fill in the gaps.

For it's time, when you had contemporary shows like Gilligan's Island and the beverly hillbillies, the show stands out as pretty good. But by modern standards you can see the repetitive formula play out, especially if you try binge watching it.

"Bratty" undersells it, they are twisted people with a capacity for evil that runs parallel to their humanity. There are plenty of times when they act professionally and it either gets them nowhere or, as they spiral downward, fails to excite them anymore.

I'm watching the One Piece live action and really enjoying it, I love the anime but it really benefits from faster pacing and it's going to be a good entry point for people who find such a long series too overwhelming to get into. It's goofy but in the right way, the CGI powers look great, the cast is pulling it off surprisingly well. Luffy is a hard character to embody because he's so cartoony and has such a distinctive VA but the actor is quite endearing imo.

The best part is how almost all the male characters are hot, even ones who aren't supposed to be hot (like Buggy, Usopp, Helmeppo etc). Meanwhile the girls are more normal and diverse looking, still cute but not big titty samefaced waifus like Oda draws, they're even dressed appropriately most of the time. It's the total opposite in the manga, only the male characters get to look different or be attractive in different ways. ofc moids are complaining about them not being hot enough, it's really a W for the female audience.

Anyway I want HxH to get this treatment kek.

Only pre timeskip OP had good momments and live adaptation captures that, but with faster pacing and without the annoying parts of the original I hated, no ugly visual style etc. My only complain is with Zoro who seems too edgy, he had more goofball moments in original pre timeskip OP. I hope this isn't just promo material for the manga and they will give it more seasons. It already broke Wednesdsy and Stranger Things season 4 records. I want them to adapt everything until timeskip and then drop it so I can have the best memories with it. I can't imagine adapting retarded shit like Gear 5.

it doesn't capture the main (or at least early) themes of the original story but it's surprisingly fine and makes me wonder what people who've never read one piece before think of it
for a veteran like me i'm very pleased to see the world more alive and connected, the realistic approach leaves room for unique developments. the change in nami's honour as a thief for example, i've seen people complaining about it but damn, has she finally become a character in her own right. thanks to the writers keeping a TV-14 rating the complete lack of scrotey fanservice is just a cherry on top.
so far my only issues are poor cinematography choices and weak acting at times, hope the money for the 2nd season fixes that.

I just binge watched Mask Girl and I don't know how I haven't seen it being mentioned on LC before. I started it thinking it would be some office workers comedy because the colourful poster misled me and I didn't bother looking any further, it wasn't at all, but I'm glad I didn't, because it would probably come off as too edgy and not do it any justice. At times it really reminded me of Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, I guess it took some inspiration from it.

I’m glad there are some other anons who remember it! On a sidenote, when the covid pandemic first hit and very little was still known about the virus, I remember there was some talk about how covid-19 might not be as deadly for children and it brought me straight back to the tv-series. Obviously I’m old, so it’s funny but also low-key horrifying imagining a The Tribe zoomer edition.

I finished watching Sex Education season 4 with my friend and I still can't stop complaining about how stupid it was despite our lengthy conversation afterwards, kek.

I just need to vent because there was this underage non-binary TIF character whose storyline revolved around her being dysphoric and suicidal because public healthcare is taking too long to give her top surgery, so in the very last episode when she goes missing for a few hours, the school decides to take the money they had raised for a local soup kitchen and put it towards her getting top surgery through private healthcare instead. Before this she had a dramatic speech about how she feels like people like her aren't allowed to exist, despite her basically going to Tumblr Academy where there's a fucking trans flag hanging outside of school and every student has a gender identity from outer space. Her mother is nothing but supportive, just portrayed as mildly confused and worried about her daughter, even uses her preferred pronouns. Everyone's being supportive of her. The only hardship she faced was in the previous season when the headmaster of her former school allowed her to wear the boys' uniform, but gasp, told her that she couldn't wear one five times her size because it was too baggy. Her story was focused on and given a conclusive ending while the season had other major characters processing trauma from sexual assault treated as an afterthought and given no closure. Far more interesting stories could have been focused on. Give me a fucking break.

I'm a sucker for women's prison dramas and I remember starting Wentworth a while ago, but never finished it so I decided to give it another watch. Season 1 was still good, I'm on season 2 now and I totally forgot about the tranny who shows up in episode 4 and saves the day by punching the woman who was attacking Bea kek that must have been where I stopped, cos everything else is new, and I've watched 2 more episodes now and thankfully he's not even that central of a character. I don't care for the drama between the male guards, and I do wish there could have been more from Franky and Erica but I guess not since she's just gone.

Castlevania: Nocturne is horrible lol. The animation is ok, but the voice acting is very stilted and BRITISH in a show set in France. The character designs feel bland, the clothes are a weird mish mash of anachronisms - one of the Big Bads wear insta-baddie outfits and her hair is dyed a magenta ombre. The creature designs are really cool but that's honestly about it. The plots are so rushed that it feels like they planned for 3-4 seasons and had to squish it all into 8 22-minute episodes, literally the plot to episode 2 could've been stretched to be the finale for season 1 and it would've made so much more sense. Also Annette should've been the protagonist instead of Richter Belmont, but the scriptwriters just love to put her through the worst shit and still make her hardcarry the team to the point it feels like it loops back into being racist instead of ~diverse~. How does Richter losing his mom for 5 minutes hold a candle to Annette being descended from multiple gods, having been enslaved and her also enslaved mother murdered for practicing magic, running away from the plantation, failing to take revenge on her mother's murderer, watching her romantic interest die right behind her as she guarantees everyone else's safety, etc…? The show treats her like a woke workhorse and I just feel bad for her while being a bit repulsed on a meta level.
I wonder why the show came out this way? Even the first Castlevania's s4 became a kind of comedy because everything near the end was ham-fisted as hell, so did the show change directors or what…

I lowkey hope Dracula and Lisa are still on their stupid honeymoon in Whitby and appear for like 5 minutes in this, it would be so funny. Maybe alive again-Lisa isnt truly human anymore and so gets the benefits of relative immortality

I didn’t get the hype about the animated Castlevania show at all. They lost be somewhere along season 2 so I for what I know it might have gotten better. It’s an animated series so in theory you have all the freedom in the world to compose cool scenes but everything was so static, literally just back and forth shots of characters talking to each other forever. Most of the humor made me cringe and the sexual innuendos and kink stuff felt tacked on, like it had to be there for the show to seem mature and edgy or because most adults into cartoons are assumed to coomers anyway. Maybe I'm just boring.

I haven't finished yet but I agree with you about these things:
>one of the Big Bads wear insta-baddie outfits and her hair is dyed a magenta ombre.
God that was so fail. I love the Ayami Kojima designs that they used, they're inspired by historical clothes at least. To have a modern alternative/fetish look just ruined it.
Annette also feels like she belongs to another Avatar-inspired show where she can be the main character. It really annoyed me when she whined at Richter for having a trauma reaction when his mother's killer suddenly showed up. Like she is such a tough Mary Sue she doesn't get PTSD despite every thing she's been through.
>so did the show change directors or what…
They did change writer because Ellis is an abusive sexpest scrote. Which explains the shitty sex scenes he added in the previous show.

As a longtime fan of the Castlevania games, I was disappointed in Nocturne at first. It felt stiff and too unrelated to the games. Then some actual fan service like Richter meeting Juste and doing Grand Cross happened, and finally things got interesting in the final episodes. It could have been better but I'm interested in another season. Especially as an actually cute (instead of uggo like in the previous show) Alucard just appeared.

I might still watch Gen V but this character description annoyed the fuck out of me. It's not even creative. Like the wonder twins in one person. I bet there will be an episode where this character gets "stuck" in-between the two genders and has to adapt to using both sets of powers at once.

im the original anon, i meant like the voice acting has incredibly british accents in what's supposed to be France. i wouldn't have cared if they had french accents or american ones, or if the rest of the show had more effort put into it, but it's just another mark against the show with how out of place and incorrect the effort is. many voice actors - including at least one of the main characters - struggle with their characters' accents and just acting in general to the point where i wonder if they were hired from fiverr or something

It's not that bad so far. This character gets refered to as a 'they' for maybe one scene (by the confused protagonist) and the rest of the scenes have others referring to 'them' as either he or she, depending on whether Jordan is a boy or a girl in the scene. There's a worrying plot thread developing about his parents not accepting his form as a girl (because he was born as a guy originally) but we'll see I guess. Still iffy on the inclusion of this character and just what the writers wanted to say. The tumblr crowd is rejoicing I'm sure at least.

Season 2 of The Bear is so bad. I felt like season 1 was supposed to be a stand-alone show and ended where it should have so I initially didn’t have high expectations, but it’s worse than I could have imagined. Spoilers below.

>Dialogue feels like it was written by an AI
>Every episode has a character saying or doing something a little ~quirky~ that’s meant to feel relatable and wholesome
>Some of the acting is really bad but could be because the dialogue is word salad tier
>Love subplot introduced out of nowhere to create friction
>Tries to recreate some of the same energy as in season one, but every scene is just back-and-forth closeups of someone’s face yelling at each other
>Seriously why do they have sets if they’re just gonna do close-up shots of people’s faces. Did they not have sets??
>Feels like there is no overarching idea to hold everything together like there was in season one. I guess the dysfunctional family theme is supposed to be that, but everything else is so poorly written it just doesn’t come together
>Season 1 had some great comic relief but here it’s taken to the cartoonish

The Boys show built its characters upon framework of the comic and despite all the comic's shortcomings and issues, it managed to convey some semblance of a message and the creator's vision. but these are essentially "original characters", crafted by writers who clearly lack talent, and let's just say this is not exactly a recipe for success.

I actually thought they had the coolest abilities of the bunch and it was understated but it’s poorly explained in the show so you can’t tell what their powers are they’re just really powerful and no one seems to comment on it. It’s frustrating. And the scenes with his/her parents are lame and intriguing at the same time because the parents lines are like anti-trans shit but the characters struggle is with their parents being disappointed they’re not always a boy (I honestly think it’s also playing on some tropes about Asians not wanting girl children but that’s not as explicit as the genderbending “issues”) —And when the character in girlmode wakes up with a girl she’s worried the girl wanted a boy and pushes her away which is so much an internalized-homophobia scene it hurt to watch. I think it’s such an interesting character for such a trashy show lmao I like it

Mike Flannaganagn misses the point of original stories he borrows for his stupid ass tv shows every single time and his reductive "interpretations" are nothing more than an unimaginative cash grab. He takes preexisting works, bastardizes the themes, misses the point in a way only a man can and rides the coattails of actual good authors because he doesn't have a single creative or unique thought of his own. I have played 30 min long indie games written and coded by one person that have a better understanding of the evil house genre than his bloated, flashy tv shows ever will. I don't get how you can make three shows, three times, take three stories with a similar theme and miss the point every single time.

Why are K-dramas so misogynistic? They’re beautifully shot and comfortable to watch (if you can avoid the really bad plastic surgery faced actors) but then some fucking wildly misogynistic scrote will come on screen like it’s not supposed to ruin the whole fucking show, gottdamn.
Or sometimes it’s not even a male, it’ll be some 20 year old woman character who says the craziest shit. Like, in some ways it’s refreshing to see some real shit, because that does happen in real life because we’re not living in a super-woke universe like some western shows pretend, but on the other hand in k-dramas it’s like it’s portrayed as if that’s how things should be.

I kinda agree with >>326079 but I think the show had its good moments. I especially liked the season finale. Wasn't expecting Homelander and the small Butcher cameo to be present. God, Homelander can so scary sometimes

I think most nonnies don't like the actor because of what happened in march of 2022. Which is fair.

Don't know if it's just modern streaming but I feel like the seasons are too short and everything gets rushed, even for the original show. Gen V would have benefited from another 5 more episodes to flesh out the characters and world.

they were an adorable pair in the show.

Unrelated: I was reading an article about ReelShort (new app like Quibi for short shows) and the article mentioned a show called Fated to My Forbidden Alpha, which I couldn't not look up. It was even more retarded than I could have hoped; could only stand to watch one episode and I had tears in my eyes from laughing

My expectations weren't high, but I'm really enjoying Jon Hamm's nipple piercings and I want to bully Gator.

Can anyone recommend a series like The Tudors(I'm fully aware of how inaccurate and flawed it is)? I'm not interested in Reign or Spanish Princess. People recommend Wolf Hall but apparently Anne Boleyn is depicted awfully on it and some other characters as well so I'm not too interested in it either.

Please if anyone else watched Ragnarok I need to discuss the ending what the fuck

I liked the ending it made a lot of sense. It also explains why the reincarnation of the norse gods were so lame. Freja running away and Odin being useless. I'm glad that they were just normal people

If it was all in his imagination what about all the scenes where he’s not even there and everyone is acting like it was all real? Part of why I liked the show is because it was really stupid so this ending is fine and fits the rest of the show but it was so slapped on lmao
Unrelated to the ending: I laughed until I cried every time Ran talked to the therapist in the last season, that was such a good bit

Spoiler ahead for Ragnarök (and some Game of Thrones)

I honestly don't want to discuss the ending, kek, I hate it so fucking much. I liked the "what would have happend, if we would have started Ragnarök" stuff, but I hated the "it wasn't real" bullshit. Why did he make friends among the most random people, they wouldn't have met without the stuff being real, except everyone pitied him. If they would have made it into a dream, well, that would be somehow more realistic, as you can dream from another persons perspective, but this, it was just a cheap ending. Instead they should have just told the story as it was, they found a way to get over their differences and found a way to live without starting actual Ragnarök und that stupid boy just did an amazing thing while still finishing school. I also don't understand how he seems to be fine with everything that happend, the crimes the Jutul family did, the death of his first girlfriend, everything okay, because he just imagined it to be part of a fake "war". Yes, it's fantasy, but it's still not logical, it's not satisfying and it's like the ending of Game of Thrones, suddenly everything is different and suddenly Khaleesi is insane, like her father, while she always tried to be a woman that helps other women and frees slaves, not one that would fuck with her nephew and claim the throne What I really enjoy was the Norwegian language, kek, it always sounds so cute and is one of the reasons I watch that stuff with subtitles (okay, yes, I also love subtitles)(learn2integrate)

The only good thing about the ending that made sense to me is that it made it so his mom was actually right and a really good person for doing the right thing even though it made her look bad in the show and made him mad lol

What We Do In The Shadows is ending after S6, and honestly I'm kinda glad. I adore the original movie, and I loved the show when it first started but I feel like it really went downhill over time with the direction of the characters and the story was starting to go in circles. I loved Lazlo and Nadja at the beginning. Nadja was my favorite character and she went from being witty and funny to just screaming and acting retarded. The Nadja Doll should have just been in a one-off episode, I have no idea why they kept that idea around. They made Colin Robinson gross, and everything was just about Guillermo being gay, yawn. I started checking out a while ago but I'm glad they're ending it before it's completely run into the ground.

I watched Mixte 1963 (embarrassingly because i saw it on tiktok) it's set in france and about allowing girls to attend an all boys high school for the first time, and it was cute enough I suppose. A little rushed but these days that's normal for shows with 8 episodes in a season and then a 3 year wait for the next one. I'm not too crazy about the ending, and the direction some other characters went, but I did like the teacher drama, the divorce stuff and the lesbian wife was much more interesting to me

It's the Simpsons type effect, where all the nuance of characters fade over time and all their outward traits become simplified and amplified. It's one of my favorite shows but I stopped watching a long time ago, haven't even seen the last season that released

i'm watching x files for the first time ever and i'm really enjoying it. i think i'm gonna watch a bunch of "old" tv shows that aired when i was a kid and that i never watched. while they might be a bit dated, at least they won't have libfem/TRA shit in them.

Watch Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure too! I hope you continue liking X-Files, it’s one of my all time favs. Just so much fun to watch, and some episodes are genuinely spooky where others are corny or more action oriented. I got into it when I was maybe 20 and I still rewatch it all the time eight years later

thank you for the recs, nonnie! i never heard of northern exposure, but it sounds fun. i'm still on season 1 but since it's the holidays i'm just rotting in bed and watching the show kek.

Nta but oh my god, northern exposure!! I used to love that show, especially Maggie, she is so cute. It's about a city doctor who has to work in a very small town in Alaska and there's typical small town drama and hijinks. Very cozy.

am I retardo or are the Netflix adaptations of One Piece and YuYu Hakusho kinda good? I have my gripes but this is a step up from other adaptations. I feel like maybe it’s just good compares to what you’d expect. YYH has some horrible wigs (seriously bad) but the horror effects were good and the actors were in character for the most part. One Piece I’m not a huge fan of but it was an entertaining show on its own which was surprising.
Not sure why Netflix gave money to them or if it will continue but it was fun

Response to One Piece was very positive both from fans and non fans, so you're not imagining it being good kek. I loved it personally. I haven't seen YYH yet because I wasn't that into the original but I guess I'll have to. HxH next please!!
