Fargo

I agree, Ezra’s character was great in my opinion. Good implementation of humor that didn’t feel forced, and pretty charming. I wouldn’t mind him having his own show, maybe teaming up with our ol’ buddy Mando at some point. 

I liked a good majority of the other characters (Hera & Thrawn I thought were great). Absolutely bored to death whenever Sabine and Ahsoka were onscreen together. 
 

Just finished season 1, I thought it was super enjoyable, if a bit silly and strange at times. Very excited for season 2. I tried to read a bit of the OG manage and some of the cartoon on Netflix - not really for me I guess haha. But the live action show was easier to get into.
 
I see the composers for the soundtrack also did The Witcher - is that worth a listen to? I've never seen the show or listened to it before.

Yeah, both scores are great in their own ways, but One Piece is much more approachable, even if a bit too long. The Witcher has some really strong themes and a great use of voices and folk instruments, but the album length and the mess of chronological order makes it a bit harder to enjoy. A shorter playlist is definitwly recommended, but it's also a great score!

Their work on One Piece is much more approachable than their work on The Witcher.
 
The album for The Witcher is also very long, but is a bit harder to get through imo. I've cut down the album to 80 minutes, which I think works better.
 
The most impressive thing about The Witcher score is that they created a sound that is now so linked with the show.

Just finished the album today (over four hours!) and it was just so good. Along with the praise the show is getting, I'm convinced to give it a watch starting tonight

So disappointed they changed the voice actors

3:48 - 4:14. I love it
 
 

My main takeaways from the first two episodes:
 
The opening “Raiders” scene with Ashoka was really drawn out and seemed like they were just padding the runtime. Did we need to see her do the same thing three times to those little pillars to line them up? What’s the point?
 
The scene with Hera & Chopper chasing the ship was my favorite. Super fun and felt the most “Star Wars-y”.
 
There was a scene with Hera and Sabine talking, and was the laziest directing/editing I’ve seen in a show recently - 100% just a shot-reverse shot of a conversation that lasted forever. No camera movement, no character movement, no style - just a dry exposition dump. 
 
Everything else was fine. The two red-saber baddies have good presence, and I love the  performance of the male dark Jedi. 

IMO
 
The “Dumbeldore’s Army / Room of Requirements” theme is Hooper’s best for the series, and a highlight of OOTP. The rest of the album is insanely boring. 
 
HBP is overall a better score (and film) and benefits from the darker mood. But still quite boring overall. 
 
JW >>> Doyle >> Hooper > Desplat
 
Strange to see bashing of Doyle’s GOF - some good themes and action pieces in there if I remember right. 

I have an irrational dislike for DH part 1 (film and score). Can’t properly put into words how much I dislike the music for that film. Part 2 benefit forms more action music. 🤷‍♂️ 

If it’s her theme, and if she’s a villain, then it’s a villain theme. That’s mathematics, bruh. 

Saying I’ve never been able to connect with GOF is not bashing.

I never finished the movie itself, but I've listen to the score for Balfe's D&D a few times and really enjoy it. Looks like he's released a companion album with "concert arrangements". I'm going through it now and think it's pretty great.

One difference: The rationalized away the protocol droid, because everyone suddenly understood the binary languange of astro droids.

Michael Giacchino To Make Feature Directorial Debut With Fresh Take On ‘Them!’ At Warner Bros
 
 
 
Cool! I'm excited to hear (and see) what he comes up with! Given all the turmoil at Warner Bros. Discovery lately, I hope this actually happens!

So is gatekeeping music just a hobby for you or what?
