Re: Television (no longer temporary)
It got canceled and I didn't like the first season enough to be excited about this one, so I think I'm just going to delete. Way too much other stuff to watch with way too many other things vying for my attention during down times.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
did not know it was cancelled...bummer. The cinematic work and director choices make it compelling. An example is the lead up to the Lakers-Celts final was done really well (ball being passed).

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I know we're way late on this, but we finally finished off "Ted Lasso". It was good...nice to see everyone got a happy ending. Thought it was funny how more of the soccer luminaries (Thierry Henry, Mike Dean, Pep) showed up this season.
Not sure if we still need a spoiler, but one question:

Yeah, they left you with that vibe, but I think they left it vague so as not to wrap it up too tightly... Would've seemed a bit saccharine, maybe?

What's the point of being a therapist if not taking advantage of vulnerable patients? I just assumed they weren't back together, but co-parenting in a super healthy way, but they did leave the door open, and it would make sense as he changed the things that pushed her away.

Kind of seemed like a weird note to end a series about the Lakers dynasty on.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Reading a bit about the end of the series. 1.) HBO gave them a heads up this was coming and they had to reshoot the ending 2.) They are open to other networks picking up the series but did not have anyone in talks so they needed to put a bow on it.BeckyHammon’s hoodie wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 12:24 am Kind of seemed like a weird note to end a series about the Lakers dynasty on.
Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Special Ops Lioness was pretty good. Surprised it had Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman. Figured this would a typical streaming mini series shoot'em up.
But Michael Kelly showing up made me wonder if he has a contract with hollywood to be in all straight to streaming spy series.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Amazon's Gen V (in The Boys Universe) started off pretty good. Similar to the Boys (tone, over the top gross violence) but with a different cast. Still does not hold up to the Garth Ennis' original works (same with Preacher), but enjoying it better than the Jack Ryan generic and formulaic stuff they have produced recently.
Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Technically step-brother, but I feel like he's my real brother. I also have a step-sister too, but we're not really that close. But we aren't on bad terms. She's on bad terms with my sister though. My cousin (also through marriage) is on bad terms with my sister. My entire back east family is a mess at times.The Sybian wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2023 7:59 pmNo wonder you got the hell away from your family at 18... I don't recall you ever mentioning having a brother!
I got the hell away from home at 18 because it was a good idea from my mother. It was an avenue to go down after high school. Despite being tepid on the idea, the recruiter was there the next week to talk me into it and off I went.
Ended up being the best thing for me. Weird how it all works out.

Severance (I just finished S1) is right on the edge of being too weird for me to dig it. But the last two episodes, where they start explaining things (somewhat) pulled me back in.
I don't mind loose ends and ??, but a certain point I start getting kind of annoyed. There have been numerous shows and movies where... I just don't want to feel like I'm walking around in a daze, with a WTF is going on vibe.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Yeah, after the first six episodes I was asking myself why I was watching this show. But after that, every episode got progressively better until I was loving it at the end of the season.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:59 pm Severance (I just finished S1) is right on the edge of being too weird for me to dig it.

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Television (no longer temporary)
The intrigue of those 'set up' episodes made me more hyped for the 'reasons why' episodes that followed. They weren't going to leave you hanging the whole time.

Watched the last couple of episodes and I will put this show on my pantheon of greatest series ever. ("Father Ted," SCTV," "Breaking Bad," "Succession" and others.)The Sybian wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2023 8:19 pmIt's such a unique show. I love how he is willing to let the episodes go completely off course when something more interesting happens. I also find myself wondering how many hours of weird footage he has on file to flash something hilarious that matches in a strange way to what he is saying.
And while the second last episode was great, the final episode was hilarious as always but was also mind blowing. Don't think there's ever been a show that showed the absolute insanity of daily life quite like this one.

I'm not a huge Rick & Morty fan, but did love Community (like a top 5er of mine) so I checked it out because I love the voice talent. It may not have a lot of traction as some of the joke tropes will probably wear thin, but it's an amusing 22 minutes.
