Re: The TV Series Thread - Part 5

[El Gunner]

yea yellowjackets sounds interesting, remind me again when the season is done so that i can binge as well

[El Gunner]

feel like i haven't seen enough TV shows this year... this is my ranking from what i can remember, what's y'all's so i can maybe save some to my watchlist?

1. Succession (obviously)
2. The White Lotus
3. Squid Game
4. Alice in Borderland
5. Midnight Mass

[Mamad]

Watched The stranger things season 1 and 2. i give it 8.5 out of 10.
Watched Arcane season 1. easily the best show i have watched past year. 9 out of 10.

[McLewis]

I might jump into Arcane. I know absolutely nothing about League of Legends so I'm expecting references will be lost on me though.

Anyone try Wheel of Time? I'm watching it concurrently with listening to the books on Audible (on Book 2). I'm not particularly bothered by the changes. First 3 episodes were good, but unspectacular. The 4th episode really showcased what that world all about. It's a show with loads of potential if Amazon gets a bit more brave about it. They seem so hellbent on making it the anti-GoT that it's impacting the overall quality of the writing, while also still making some of the same mistakes we saw in the latter seasons of GoT.

I watched the first 3 episodes of Arcane, I thought it was very pretty and well made but the story and characters seemed a bit too YA for my tastes. Does it get better?

[Mamad]

Yeah it's get better but if you are not interested by the end of episode 3 it's not for you.

Man that might have just been the greatest Succession episode out of all the great Succession episodes. I guess it all depends on what they do with that ending at the start of the finale next Sunday. But there was just something different with this episode... how the camera lingered a bit longer and just dug deeper and deeper into the emotional horror and despair... fucking hell

Cowboy cancelled. Why do they even try to make live action anime adaptations?

[Lucifer]

Succession S3

[Blue]

I am 2 episodes in Dropsick a miniseries on Hulu about a drug company that started the opioid pandemic that has killed almost a million people and destroyed many more lives. Really great so far.

Very common in the sense that this type of corruption between corporate and the US government is very rampant.

@El Gunner

Spoiler:

I'm still speechless, I need to rewatch and reprocess what just happened but goddamn it, what a show.

[El Gunner]

Spoiler:

Renewed my interest as well to see how S4 will turn out.

[Lucifer]

Clearly best episode so far of the series. I love Tom, always have.

[El Gunner]

a new show about a pandemic is getting good hype - Station Eleven

[Blue]

Very good dystopian/sci-fi novel, definitely interested.

[Myesyats]

a new show about a pandemic is getting good hype - Station Eleven

sadly only a limited series 1 season/10 episodes

[Nishankly]

Final After Life season 3 starts on 14th Jan for those interested.

[Lucifer]

Only murders in the building has been very good  and surprisingly clever so far. I am 4 epis in and absolutely looking forward to finishing it today. .

[El Gunner]

new Euphoria starts tonight
and i started Yellowjackets a few days ago... if there's anybody that wants to watch-along let me know

[El Gunner]

so i've only been able to do 3 Yellowjackets episodes so far... it feels like one of those shows that kinda just drags everything out with its mystery gimmicks by being all over the place in terms of timelines and multiple characters (a la Lost and Leftovers). And also the characterisations are just bad... they feel like 00s standard TV characters, and the drama isn't enough to hook you. No strong intriguing characters either aside from maybe Shauna.

Who else found these problems? and does it get any better?

[Robespierre]

Involved from GL hype ( especially by El Gunner) on Succession .... I've begun it yesterday

After just the first 2 episodes I can say hype is deserved.
