Ahahahahaha Bear Grylls Treasure Island cracks me up. Stick a bunch of greedy, sickly morons on an island with a few robust young whippersnapper and watch as the old ones guilt the others into giving them money.

Now one of the wretched old hags has drank a ton of salt water and predictably been very sick. So the show is now about watching an old gross hag puke bile into the sand.

I can honestly say in that situation I would let her die of exposure.

The best bit is the guy afterwards like "I told her not to drink the salt water, then she drank loads of the salt water and now she is being sick"

Watched the pilot of Batwoman.... would say that it was pretty "not good"..... changed way too much, and I don't buy Ruby Rose as Batwoman or a "leading lady".....

Will naturally still watch it

I've begun season 3 of Goliath; just from the first episode, it seems like things are going to be taken in a more surreal direction. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on how they pull it off. Billy Bob is always the goods, though.

Currently watching "The End Of The Fucking World", it's strong and shocking but with a warmth that makes it easy to absorb.
Alex Lawther is a brilliant actor, so in tune with his emotions that he reminds me of Andrew Garfield only more neurotic and damaged... so almost Paul Dano.

Jessica Barden I had never even seen before but she is incredibly emotionally tactile too. She's beautiful and plays a character that all young men will fall in love with at some point in their lives.

Interesting to see how easily this script got the concept of a cool girl that can be tough and attractive without coming off as cunty.
Marvel please take note.

Trying Patriot at the moment; too early to tell what I think of it.

Patriot is 5 fucking stars. Giveit time to get going. Absolute aces.


Watching After Life. Im enjoying it.

Been watching Patriot after recommendation from a mate. It’s great. Very influenced by the Cohen brothers I’d assume.

I'm so happy to watch a show about war that focuses on the stupidity and greed rather than the awful violence. Of course awful violence is used to bring you back to reality but the comedy of bureaucracy is so brilliantly played that you would struggle not to laugh.

So far it's perfect. A film could never tell the story as fully.

I have to say I'm massively into this Catch 22 adaptation. It's gloriously paced as a miniseries, every great joke from the book is given time to develop on screen.

These are culturally significant gags, you can hear a Catch 22 reference in your daily life and not even realise it.

Seanny One Ball

Christopher Abbott as Yossarian is great casting. Yossarian should always be played by somebody who's face asks more questions than it answers.
He has played a serial killer before and his deadpan, stone-face killer vibe was intense("Sweet Virginia") so I'm impressed that his ambiguous look is being used in a role outside of that because he will eventually be type cast.

I can see it coming a mile off.

Seanny One Ball
10-13-2019, 03:09 AM
Arfy Aardvark should have been played differently. He's far too sinister and cold in this. Charles Grodin played him like a wild fraternity boy and that was perfect. You are supposed to be horrified because you like him.

Nearing the end of season 2 of Ally MacBeal; I continue to enjoy it, and I feel no shame. Portia de Rossi is also fine as fuck.

I've finished the third season of Goliath; I think the first season remains the best.

I'm also currently rewatching the first two seasons of Into the Badlands before watching the third season, which I haven't seen yet.

The fourth season of The Magicians has appeared on Prime, so I'll have to watch that soon as well.

I will finish the final season of Into the Badlands this evening; I've really enjoyed the third season, which they upped the ante and made a lot darker; it is definitely an improvement on the second season, which I think needlessly brought back Quinn, even though I generally like Marton Csokas as an actor (always plays a good baddie). The inclusion of Nick Frost in the second season has continued to pay off into the final season.

From tomorrow, I will re-watch the first season of Jack Ryan before watching the new one.

EOTFW has two incredibly emotionally tactile leads. That they play characters desperately trying to deadpan their way through life gives so much depth to every water filler eye.

It's a decent show with truly brilliant acting, pretty much a masterclass.

I don't know why I keep watching Ally McBeal; I'm on to season 4 and for most of the time since the end of season 2, I've wanted to throw Ally feet-first into a wood-chipper whenever she appears on screen.

Actually, I lie, I know exactly why I keep watching: Peter MacNicol, Greg Germann and Jane Krakowski are gold.

Well, the story is spread thin but the acting is just beautiful.
I cannot credit Alex Lawther and Jessica Barden enough for their acting. Usually the strength of that sort of chemistry makes it harder on the rest of the cast because you judge them more when there is nothing to critique with perfection.
The really strange thing is that the supporting cast are uniformly as brilliant as they need be. Nobody misses their opportunity.

TEOTFW is one of the best series of all time already.

I'm currently watching The Lost Room, on Prime, which is a six-part series that originally aired in 2006. It has Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) and Julianna Margulies (ER, The Good Wife).

I'm two episodes in and I'm enjoying it quite a lot; it is a silly sci-fi, but has a proper story. If you liked Warehouse 13, and to a less extent The X-Files (nowhere near as dark), then I think you'll like it.

Netflix is really killing it with these foreign language shows they are picking up and dubbing. Just got done watching season 1 of Ragnarok and once again came away thoroughly entertained and wanting more.

This brings me to a more interesting point though: Everyone acts like American cinema/television is the peak of entertainment or something, but over the last couple years I have found myself marveling at how much better foreign television shows are. Seems like they haven't run out of creativity like we have over here. Their settings are also more varied than ours and they rely less on big budget special effects and only use them when it makes sense. I have now watched shows from Australia, France, Norway, Finland, Germany and Turkey, among others and they are better than anything I've seen come out of the American media in years.

It's not terrible but it's a sideshow. Season 1 should be used in film schools to teach young film makers how to create something unique from a familiar premise. Season two should be used in later classes to show how badly a mediocre season can damage a property as a whole when continued in the face of severe industry and production issues.

Hayden Panettiere should have become a huge star from Heroes. Look at her FFS.

The EP wanted each season to be standalone with its own arc and characters. Show blew up and the cast got popular so NBC wanted them to come back. Problem is several of them were way too OP/their stories were complete. Show couldnt endure it.

Just finished the third season of Outlander. I feel the cycle of diminishing returns is starting to set-in, with the need for increased ridiculousness to keep things interesting (though the premise is ridiculous anyways). I'm going to give it a rest for a week or two before beginning season 4.

Watching "Norsemen" which is a Viking comedy on Netflix. It's Norwegian but in English.
A lot of the comedy is derived from Viking laws and traditions, it openly jokes about raping and pillaging a lot, but behind the coarseness is a solid understanding of what actually is funny about that part of history.

Nearly finished season 1.

Good cast, solid acting, but a few issues with the plot and character development and I feel like somebody should have curbed the constant growing weirdness in the side stories/characters.

There are too many character exchanges where one person dominates, outwit or gotchas another too. It's almost every other scene. Just constant sour faces being returned after terse interplay or some droll piece of one-upmanship.

It needs some levity.

This season was a bit too obviously formulaic. Last season was simply a sad sack who needed to pull himself together through seeing the goodness around him so you get a mixture of deeply saddening dialogue complimented and bookended by some crass, vulgar comedy which softens the blow.
This season has ramped this up so that each episode wallows for longer and the vulgarity has been exponentially increased and broadened. It's also guilty of some truly dreary montages, there are too many of these. I think most episodes open with one and some may have more.

I was dubious of the message in one particular aspect of the first season due to its horrifying detachment from an extremely dark issue in assisted suicide.
I am equally skeptical of the message/note that this season ended on. It was actually quite sinister and probably relatively accurate as well.

I have a lot of issues with it but it was worth seeing for the good parts.
I think that it may be the most obviously emotionally manipulative show ever to come out of a comedian.

Sooooooo much this. I remember my wife caught the glimpse of the episode where Karl's mom (can't remember her name) was giving birth in the jail and Carl had to kill her. She wanted to watch it after that. She thought it was just a big zombie shoot em up show.


I told her it was more about the people and how they survive, etc. And that the zombies more or less feel like a side-piece. yeah...... shit should be on sci-fi now with things like "ICE SPIDERS!!!"

That one season that was like 90% scenes of humans shooting at other humans with barely anything else going on was too much for me.....

That would have been season 8.

Yeah.... just seemed like people just shooting at each other with very occasional dialog and story.
