Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 2 minutes ago, Jay said: I found 1 and 3 to be the funnier seasons, and 2 to be the one that took itself too seriously Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons are my favorite characters from all 3 seasons! Dunst especially was fascinating in how she presented as such a normal person with her slight insanity poking out in such banal ways. And of course Bokeem Woodbine was wildly entertaining. I loved the trucking crime syndicate family. Great, great stuff that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,340 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Dunst and Woodbine were absolutely FANTASTIC! Don't get me wrong - I love all three seasons, and think its one of the best shows on TV. I simply think 1 and 3 are a little better than 2. That's all.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 5 hours ago, KK said: Right. Sorry, bad last minute edit. You should check out The Leftovers Jay. That's the beauty of his character. He really pushed the show's themes of expectations, faith and reality. Loved him and his cameo in season 2. And I wasn't a huge fan of Liv Tyler in the second season, but thought she had a marvellous sensitivity in the first season. Yeah the actor that played him really sold the character arc. He was just another one broken by the Departure that found an other worldly way to cope with his trauma. His bit in the hotel was funny. I really enjoyed the dark humor that is sort of weaved through the show. It doesn't get in the way of the drama, so the tone always feels appropriate. RE: Tyler She was really fucking scary in Season 2. Her voice kinda betrays the character to me. I don't know, something about it rubs me the wrong way. But when she's not speaking she's down right menacing and terrifying. Her first encounter with Tommy being a cool WTF moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the characters and humor of season 2, even if I think the overall plot is weaker. Indeed. Season 2 often places as my favourite. It's between S2 and S1. S3, while quite good, seemed like the "weakest" of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I tried to watch the feature length pilot for HBO's new series The Deuce. I made it 40 mins in before I couldn't take it anymore. If you can't make any of your characters seem even a little compelling in the first 40 mins, I bail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You turned off David 'The Wire' Simon's The Deuce with James Franco and that is supposedly about the porn industry?!!!! Hmm, I'm not sure if that is a smart decision, Disco. I mean, I remember it took me a while before I got hooked to The Wire but when it happened, boy, did it happen!

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I walked in on Marvel's The Defenders. I don't watch Marvel funny book films or TV shows. In my brain, I just imagine it as being The Avengers and Captain America type of thing. So, nothing I'd ever want to watch. This is weird though. Plenty of it is boring and pointless, but there's a story arc where Sigourney Weaver (!) puts a chick in a coffin, drowns her in blood or something which brings her back to life, feeds her cereal and then trains her to murder people. If the entire show was that, I'd probably watch. They seem to be aware it's the best stuff and only rarely cut to it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon McBride 113 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl Pretty good characters, but the pacing of the story was pretty wack at times. It would spend 6 or 7 episodes covering 2 or 3 matches at a Judo tournament, then it would take 3 episodes setting up the next tournament. The biggest problem with the show is how unfinished it was. Yawara never got her match with Jody, they really only began to finish the love story between her and Matsuda, and we never even get to see her at the Barcelona Olympics despite that being the primary goal of the series. I really enjoyed watching through the show, but I just felt empty by the time it was over. Started on Maison Ikkoku now, hopefully this show wraps everything up better than Yawara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon McBride 113 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It's mostly a post-ironic expression of my feelings towards anime and those who watch it.

Fancyarcher 350 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It is, but it's very adult. The main character is a washed-up "horse actor", and the series deals with some really heavy themes, like Stu already alluded to. I don't really recommend it to kids basically.
