I'm watching Sopranos for the first time and while I do love Melfi, especially after the ending of season 3 Episode 4, it's interesting to see just how awkward her approach to therapy is at times.
Obviously nowadays we have more guidance on how to go about certain situations, but I'm on the verge of pulling out my hair when she doesn't even bother to initiate a further conversation after Tony says something that has a lot of potential of getting him to open up.

I just finished season 1 of this show called From. First of all it's a really stupid name, and it makes looking up discussions on an already less popular series pretty much impossible.
But anyways I think it's a nice concept I just wish there was even a small explanation of literally anything, but I'm gonna start watching season 2 and see what comes up lol. I think shows like this really benefit from being more typical 22 episode type shows, because there's so many characters, and they each get time to be more fleshed out, but somehow there was enough boring filler in these 10 episodes
No. 346370
>>346365>stays true to the characterization and themes of the book Is that true? I haven't read the books but I watched the new show with a big Anne Rice fan and apparently the reporter is acting completely out of character right from the start because in the books he was obsessed with becoming immortal immediately after the events of Interview With a Vampire. Like he's so obsessed that after hearing Louis' story he immediately drives 24 hours or something to search for Lestat because he wants to be a vampire so badly (eventually he
gets someone else to turn him) and the idea that he would have lived a normal life and let himself age into an old man when he knows vampires are real is absurd, he would have died trying.

I watched 12oz Mouse for the first time the other day and a few episodes into the second season it started to click and now I can't get it out of my head.
I only watched the original 2 seasons, It was revived for a 3rd season in 2020 but we all know how that kind of thing goes and I heard it was no good so I'm ignoring season 3. There's a version of the first two seasons of episodes that was recut into a movie and I'd like to find that and watch it next.
It gets a lot of hate from animation nerds for being "low effort" but I came to realize that the low effort character designs and animation are part of the point, like how the play Our Town is performed on a bare stage. The writing and voice acting is also not what I expected at all, I imagined that the low-effort animation was meant to carry improv comedy like in ATHF or Home Movies but it's really not comedic and funny-haha as much as it is funny-weird and bizarre and unsettling. The pacing is extremely slow and the first few episodes are just throwaway gags, I had a hard time believing that it was David Lynch influenced but then at a certain point it really becomes more than the sum of its parts in a way I can only describe as Lynchian. It's a lot like Twin Peaks in how it throws random situations and visuals and characters and snippets of conversation at you and you kindof have to feel out what the point they're making is. There is a plot of sorts, but it's buried in all that other stuff and the plot isn't necessarily the point. Before you ask, no I was not smoking weed and that is not why I came to enjoy it.
Has anyone else watched this show and do you think you "got it"?
No. 346401
>>346301No pls watch it, it is still nice! lol
>>346365Imo she definitely behaves and also talks in a very stereotypical nowadays kid way, being bratty, sassy and they even have her do a vampire version of self harm. It's especially annoying and offputting because she still behaves that way years after becoming a vampire, like inside she's 25 and yet does things like smashing a macaron on the wall for fun…? Even if they now spoil her, she still grew up as a poor and abused black girl in 1900, in reality at 14 she would be basically considered an adult already, so it's just unrealistic that she'd turn this way immediately after becoming a vampire.
Book Claudia is smart and evil beyond her years in how she kills and gets her way, and this one is the total opposite.
>>346370I was so focused on the other 3 that I totally forgot that his story makes zero sense. You're absolutely right, he'd have rather killed himself than not becoming a vampire as soon as possible after the interview. I guess in my mind I kind of started mixing him up with David (he's very similar to him now, maybe this was even the shows intention?), so I thought Oh well, he will get turned before he's so old that he dies.
No. 346407
>>346401Claudia is devious and relatively smart in the book, but she was still impulsive and short-sided. Of the three leads, she's the most different from the books in terms of personality, but I just didn't get the impression that she was super anachronistic in terms of performance. I will say though that Kirsten Dunst gave a better performance.
>>346370I can't really argue with your point about Daniel, it's a pretty big difference that he chose to move on. However I think the show uses that difference as an opportunity to take his character in interesting directions. It makes the issue of his mortality more urgent, for one, and his jaded sarcasm while giving the interview is a nice contrast to Louis' narration. Idk, that's definitely subjective though.

Has anyone here been keeping up with the new Percy Jackson Disney+ show? It was hyped up for so long by fans who wanted a decent adaption of the story after the movies dropped the ball, but it's turned out to be almost as divisive as the movies. The pacing is horrible, the acting is wooden and nobody behaves like a real life human, and the episodes are sanitized to hell and back with muddled conflicts and zero action even though they're each being made on a 10+ million dollar budget.
Picrel the entire fanbase is on turbocope mode about how badly the show has turned out. It’s become impossible to criticize any aspect of the show without the discussion going to shit because fans feel like they need to defend it. Whenever you want to point out a flaw, the response is always “it’s for kids, who cares if it’s lazy?” and “the author is involved this time, so we have to respect his vision!” As a kid who used to be obsessed with the series, I remember seething over how disloyal the first two movie adaptations were to the books, but honestly… the movies are much more watchable and coherent than this new show, which is insane.
Even though the show is trash, I feel bad for the child actors. They haven’t done very well, but I think that’s mostly the fault of a terrible script and even worse direction. There’s only so much they can do with what little they’re given. I think it was especially retarded to cast a black actress to play an unambiguously blonde-haired, blue-eyed character, but that’s not that little girl’s fault. If anything, Riordan set her up for failure. Annabeth’s physical appearance is mentioned constantly in the books, so it was incredibly naive to think a colorblind casting for this role wouldn’t receive any flack whatsoever. I can’t help but find it callous that he basically put a child in a position to receive so much racist hatred and his only real response to any of it was, “don’t listen to the haters, I chose you.” Like, thanks? What fucking good does that do?
Idk, I am pretty bummed out about this, and I was wondering what other anons had to say about it. I was holding out hope that this would turn out good because I have so much nostalgia for the books, but it might be a lost cause at this point. In my opinion, the PJO books are already very dated and don’t have any of the same timeless charm as something like Harry Potter, so maybe that’s why an adaptation was always doomed to fail.

I need to go back to The Borgias, I was on season 2. I enjoy Jeremy Irons as Rodrigo and the political plots (some things are painfully stupid though), the costumes are great. I didn’t get to incest yet but I don’t like Lucrezia or Cesare that much so I don’t really care. Sucks that they cancelled it before last season, it deserved grand finale.

Is anyone else watching The Curse? I had no idea what to expect going in, but I love it and can't wait to see where the story is going. It's a dark comedy/slow burn 'horror' (kinda) written by Nathan Fielder and one of the Safdie brothers (Uncut Gems) and it really shows. If you like anything Nathan Fielder has been involved with then you'd appreciate the cringe/humor/tension of the show.

Ugh.I thought I'd have some laughs and revisit some nostalgia from my high school days, turns out Jackass was completely recut for Paramount/Amazon. There's a warning about "outdated social norms" at the beginning of every episode, kek. In just the first episode they removed Johnny being shot out of a cannon and used the intro to Episode 2 for Episode 1 instead, (and reused the same intro again for Episode 2…?) The entire Wee-Man segment is cut out. A ton of the stunts are cut out now like Johnny jumping over the LA river, Naked Dave is cut out. ALL of the music (CKY and everything else) was removed and replaced by stock music, even the added sound effects are different. It's weird and it sucks now.

Turning 30 without a stable relationship compared to your high school friends. Reading a book about feminism and bonding with your friends about it. Yearning for motherhood and ending up being infertile. It’s just all such important conversations about womanhood. It’s also female friendship goals. I really want to be roomies with a girl group in my 30s!!

>>348087man episode one…. i think we're in for some reddit shit unfortunately. the magic of s1 is in its subtlety, the moments revealing some unfathomable metaphysics are few and far between and all questionable as rust's unreliable perspective. its like he and us as the audience are taking sideways glances at something unknowable hidden beneath the grit and mundanity of human lives, human violence, human suffering. the fact that the script is always played unflinchingly straight is also so unique and special in a time of tv that seems to fucking mock you for watching it in its ugly shallow dialogue. this last point may be just a problem with trying to write realistic dialogue for this moment in time, where, it is true, people talk in stupid internet memetic cliches. they could work around the decay of contemporary language in the 2012 segments of s1 because rust and marty are out of touch and stuck in their past, unable to move forward, and rust is antisocial anyway.
i think the scope is also key to s1s success. episode one is laser focused on rust and marty and their relationship, and this is the core of the show. nothing happens that isnt important to that dynamic in one way or another, every interaction they have comes back to them.
already in s4e1 they have introduced way too many characters. our focal point is liz and navarro but i could hardly pay attention to what we were getting told about them because another fucking character and relationship and dynamic was introduced every two seconds.
wrt what i said about s1 dialogue, the dialogue was the first thing that jumped out at me as grating in this episode (aside from the music, whoever was in charge of that needs to be shot). fucking hell, "my spirit animal eats old white ladies like you"??? "how did i fall for a white boy"????? the entire interaction between the father-son cop duo at the fathers house??????? FUCKING "SHE'S AWAKE". just awful, stilted, weighed down so heavily by twitter memespeech or just shallow nothingness. there was not a single line in the episode that struck me with the same immediate charm and intrigue that was so engrossing in s1. the only ones that stood out for me were the former ones that made me physically cringe to hear. and like i said, i know that it is not uncommon to come across people who unironically speak like that in current year, so i dont really know how id work around it if i wanted to write realistic contemporary dialogue. but to be honest, s1s dialogue went way off the rails of realism nearly every time rust spoke lol. but it was only possible for that to work with marty as the ultranormie straight man to rust's depressive shit. s4e1 characters hardly even seem like theyre talking to each other at all. i dont know how else to describe it. its so self conscious.
the supernatural shit happening ever 2 seconds just tired it out too!!!! if i was editing that episode down, i would keep the supernatural stuff to the ghost husband interpretive dance thing happening right after the dead wolf moves a bit. that was great. maybe i would start the episode with that (the beginning with the native man watching those terrible CGI reindeer run away from a MYSTERIOUS SOMETHING was uninspired and gave kind of a noble savage impression in an odd way) and have the police discover the bodies of the scientists frozen in the ice, and then move to investigate the abandoned lab. thered be so much more space to actually establish characters. i did really like navarro's run in with the polar bear at the end so i'd keep that but all the other gay little supernatural bits begone. and jesus christ, CUT the "SHE'S AWAKE" crap that was unbearable. if they had done it ONCE i may have let it slide. but they had to repeat it a million times because they have no respect for the audience. even if this does become a plot point where those who heard it bring it up and talk about it, which it won't, it's just so uninspired. a way better way to use that phrase would be to cut all the audio of it and have it written on the whiteboard in the lab instead of we're all dead or whatever.
anyway i liked jodie foster's performance especially when she was doing a little police brutality and being mildly racist. shes so hot so ill keep watching but i will also keep complaining. i never watched s2-3 but if anything this is really making me feel good about that decision.

Some dating advice still holds up to this day (the „he’s just not that into you” ep should be essential watch for every straight woman), besides the main storyline of chasing the scrote who shows time and time again that he’s not interested in committing to you. I still love the fashion, even Carrie’s more eccentric looks because you can see the thought behind every of it, it’s not just putting random pieces together to be quirky. In summary it was a well-written and witty escapist fantasy with nice visuals which wasn’t pretending to be anything more than that, but still was revolutionary in some ways.
I’m looking forward to watching Girls tbh. I’ve seen some clips on YouTube and I love how trashy they all are and how shitty their friendship is, I also like Jemima Kirke.

>>350457I watched the shows in chronological order, starting with Hill House, than Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club and The Fall of the House of Usher. I liked Hill House the most, followed by The Fall of the House Usher and Midnight Club, Bly Manor was okay, but too close to Hill House, so nothing new and I found Midnight Mass to be very annoying, probably because of the whole religious monologues, kek.
So yes, I would watch Hill House next, it's very different to Midnight Mass, but an enjoyable show and if you like easy, spooky stuff, you will like it.

for any nonnas that enjoyed the first season of the terror i highly recommend the north water. i watched it when it was first released a few years ago and watched it again recently. basically the show follows a disgraced military doctor who has severely limited career options due to an incident in his past and has to take a job on a whaling ship. the journey is a rough, many bad things happen, and eventually the expedition goes horribly wrong. one of the whalers is a particularly nasty moid played by an unrecognizable colin farrell and he is the story's primary antagonist. i liked it so much that i read the book it was based on (overall it's a very faithful adaption).

>>357073I can’t lie I loved Night Country. I think the season finale was great, it felt much like a “reveal” chapter in a detective story where cards get turned over one by one. The slow pacing IMO was a good choice for the setting of an isolated town seemingly frozen in perpetual night, where it seems like nothing happens, where its people live uncomplicated routined lives, but reality is entirely opposite. I felt very immersed in the cold, dark, isolated and harsh environment, it gives me a hypothermia-induced drowsiness like I could hibernate until the ice thawed. Every time it shows them driving on invisible roads in total whiteout darkness, it deepens the otherworldly mood. And by contrast I am made very aware of the warmth and passion the town people have for such a hostile depressing living environment and each other, they were here first.
For much of the season I was concerned about the overt supernatural tones, but after the resolution, it was close to a perfect amount of supernatural/sci-fi elements that I loved similarly in Fargo. I admit I wanted to see a lot more of the mine company, ancient DNA stuff, indigenous mystic stuff, I’m sure there were big narrative potentials that couldn’t be realized within 6 episodes. But the story about world-changing discoveries and related questions are meant for another show.
I’m not surprised that the reviews have been mixed. Maybe I’ve grown fatigued of limited series format where every episode has to be pumped full of actions and progress to retain viewing interest. I always felt True Detective was supposed to be character driven more than a gripping plot, I see Night Country gave good effort in doing that as “returning to form” of ss01 so to speak. I don’t agree that a character can only be “fleshed out” if we spell out their every trauma and sin. I could appreciate depth in most of the major characters even though we don’t get to know all their stories. What has happened is less important than how it has changed each town inhabitant.
Anyway it’s funny the rose-colored glasses people have about ss01, in spite of the scrotey shit and r/Iam14andthisisdeep cringe, saying this as someone who liked it a lot. Yes I did find some of the sex scenes uncomfortable, Danvers’ particularly bordered on sacrilege buuut in consolation, the mindbreak of Peter Prior was peak, made for the anons into cute boy suffering, completed with underwear fanservice. Sorry for sperg, the final note is probably that I like stuff that makes men mad.

I just started watching The Terror because of this thread and it's so good, I've binged half of it so far. Any anons who liked it and also like video games should play Return of the Obra Dinn, it takes place in the same time period but you play as an investigator trying to find out what happened to the crew of a derelict merchant ship which mysteriously reappears after going missing five years prior. I'll definitely be watching The North Water, too.

Degrassi the next generation was really good, it peaked on season 3 and 4
drake getting shot ftw, but a while after that it becomes a pile of flaming crap with only some episodes worth watching. Now if you're feeling the 80s, there is degrassi junior/high, it was nice too and some of the characters there are the parents of the kids in dtng, I mean the same actors and all (though the adult characters in dtng are boring as fuck, even when they try to make them interesting it fails. Very baffling when it comes to spike, and speaking of spike, emma is annoying, imagine going through all the hardships of teen pregnancy only to birth a little shit, yep, that's emma). Don't waste time with dtng post season 9 cus you get a troon but it's a tif at least (nice casting though, she looks exactly like most ssa tifs) but doesn't really matter as it's overall bad, it's not just the tif and she
gets killed off later anyway. Then there is next class, don't watch that.

Jonah will abandon the store during 4th quarter, ghost Amy, and move to Wisconsin without explanation!!

Patricia Arquette and Joey King really knocked it out of the park with their performances in this show, and despite it being partially fictionalized I thought it accurately portrayed the impact of generational trauma so well, specially in the last few episodes that show Gypsy's childhood and Deedee's behavior with her own mother.

Rewatching Hannibal, I got to the middle of season 2 a few years ago and never finished because I have a bad habit of abandoning shows kek. The dialogue is a bit overwritten but it makes sense when all the characters are educated. I love red dragon/the hannibal books and while a lot of things are toned down for tv I think it really captures the essence of it well. Still disappointed that Clarice isn’t a character in it but I guess they couldn’t get the rights for her or anything in silence of the lambs. She was way more interesting than book will graham but I think they did a great job of fleshing out his character more (even if most of it is just taken from Clarice’s interactions with hannibal). And yes, I love that will and Hannibal’s romantic relationship is teased from the very beginning and they actually had the balls to go through with it. Apologies to ugly old man psyoppers but I genuinely think hugh dancy and mads mikkelsen were nice to look at

Does anybody know if Dead Boy Detectives gets better after the first episode? I wanted to like it, but the exposition was painfully redundant, and I'm not connecting with any character so far. I also heard it has a Riverdale-like tone and it's taylor made for Tumblr, so I'm wary about continuing the series.
