day 1

glad Victoria pedretti is in this again, same cast almost it seems hmm

by Blue Sat Sep 26, 2020 3:47 pm

Pedretti, Oliver Jackson, and Henry Thomas will return. I think Kate Seigal will also be in it. Some returning, but a lot of new faces. Maybe others will make appearancs too, but I anticipate for the majority a new cast.

It's a shame they don't make them sitcoms like this anymore

fargo season 4 started nicely, solid cast

by El Gunner Sun Oct 04, 2020 11:54 pm

could only make it to S02E15 of Twin Peaks. I loved season one and grew to love all the central characters, but all the extended plotlines, mysteries and extra characters that came around in season 2 really put me off it to the point where i watched some episodes just for the sake of trying to finish the show or at least get to a point where it would retain its magic and everything will get tied up again, but alas here i am.

did anyone here like season 2? how did it end?

by El Gunner Fri Oct 09, 2020 1:22 pm

where's my Succession comrades at?
unbelievable show :bow:

thought it was all Adam McKay's work at first because of the corporate satire, but who was i kidding McKay never was such a great writer. Jesse Armstrong :bow:

As far as I remember (it's been basically decades..), season 2 pretty much went to shit after the episode when the murderer is revealed and

dies

Well not to shit, but it became like an ironic, twisted, surrealist version of Dallas or something like that. Not especially engaging.

Of course, I still have the absolute pleasure of watching the new season from a couple of years ago ahead of me Proud

I have new speakers, I have a new couch, now I just need a vacation to go through with it Proud

I can't remember any other show polarizing me, disgusting me yet utterly engrossing me like Succession has. The show in general is such a hard watch due to how unlikable literally every character is, yet so so addictive. The dysfunction is incredibly well written. Nicholas Brittell's score is amazing as well.

Can't wait for season 3.

by El Gunner Fri Oct 09, 2020 2:26 pm

i get you, but not a hard watch for me at all, it's after all a dark comedy rofl

i loooooved every second of it. Best show since Mr Robot :bow:

i'm 55% Kendall, 25% Roman, 15% Connor and 5% Siobhan Laughing

Yep great show, looking forwarding to season 3.

Regarding who i'm rooting for, i'm all in with cousin Greg. that little Machiavellian fuck is going to take over the whole thing isn't he.

by El Gunner Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:57 pm

i meant more how i see myself in the characters.
but yea, im team Kendall even though there's bound to be a twist in S3

Cursed Succession.

by El Gunner Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:24 pm

ffs

obviously it's about rich families, but minus the wealth what i love most about the show is how universal the family drama is/feels

by Lucifer Fri Oct 09, 2020 11:12 pm

Completed two seasons of Succession, loved it so far. When's the third one arriving?

by El Gunner Sat Oct 10, 2020 12:05 am

no idea with covid

by Warrior Mon Oct 12, 2020 1:00 am

Norsemen is a nice serie i just begin season 2

Something in the attitude of characters is just hilarious, maybe it's because english is their second language (which they speak very well still) anyways their affected nonchalance makes me laugh.

Season 1 was fun, curious to see if the rest is a big deflate... rarely my interest can maintain

by elitedam Tue Oct 27, 2020 3:05 pm

Raised by Wolves turned to shit very quickly. For All Mankind was pretty good though.

Did you watch the full season? it was so bad i gave up after three episodes lol.

by elitedam Tue Oct 27, 2020 3:34 pm

I did.

After the first two episodes, I thought it had some potential. There were a few scenes that hinted at the possibility that it might turn out good. But then it got progressively dumber as the season went on. The finale was pure trash.

finished watching The queen's gambit. Very good stuff (for the most part). Anya Taylor Joy will be a household name soon.

I never talk of it here (i think) but i'm passionate by chess and quite a good player. So i was interested at first, but the trailer is a bit disappointing, it seems more focused on the dramatic stuff than the game itself. Also the bland shades of color, it's a bit turn off. Or maybe i had a bad perception ?

Also...
- Norsemen which i watch last month is a decrescendo, but seasons 1-2 are worth watching if you have free time. It's light comedy.
- World's Most Wanted interesting documentaries. Best episode was about Felicien Kabuga a proper asshole i didn't know about. Rest of episodes are well done too but tbh i'm getting tired of the Escobar/cartel/drug dealing stuff.
- Einsatzgruppen it gives tons of informations, but it's not a very pleasant watch.
