Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I just can't look at Seinfeld with such a critical eye or pseudo-reviewer mentality. For me, it's a show I've routinely marathoned so much in the last 20 years, it's become a part of the ambience of my house and the lexicon of my social engagement. And now I see people trying to intellectualise it and that just seems icky and wrong to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Meh, Drax is a bit of exaggerating dick sometimes. The only person I see overthinking anything here is him. On the subject of Seinfeld, I watched a couple of episodes last night and in the first one George had a date with and ended up shagging that bint who was Chandler's ex in Friends. They seemed to really hit it off too! Good episode. But in the next one she's been completely forgotten about and seemingly erased from existence?

I wonder what you will make of the later seasons of Seinfeld, which do become serialised to a degree and quite meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well all of the other subplots/affairs from all previous episodes so far seem to be ongoing and are often referenced, which is why this one was very jarring (and disappointing actually).

Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I watched it over the last few days. Nothing groundbreaking, but nice enough. I did laugh out a couple of times. The characters are likeable, and it suddenly gets much more story heavy near the end. Will watch part 2 when it comes out. As far as I remember, Futurama didn't start out nearly as brilliant as it would become after a season or two. Not that I remember it well enough now to compare it directly.

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 To be fair, sometimes these things need time to settle in. Have all episodes been made available? I've always felt that new comedy series especially need a little bit of leeway with new viewers. I was a gnat's dick away from pressing the stop button on The Good Place, and I plodded through about 3-4 episodes of that thoroughly certain of my unamusement of it. And then it suddenly clicked into place. I'm glad I didn't give up, because now I think it's the best new original comedy series on the box and I'm really looking forward to S3 this December.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I liked Danny Pink a lot. It would've been interesting if he could've been on the show after they decided the Doctor didn't need to be quite such an asshole. Because man, he was really mean to Danny most of the time and that got a bit wearing. And yes, Justin. I know you love the season where he's a complete jerk. I still prefer season 9 where he's still grumpy, but just nicer about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Since I got a Chomecast for the loungeroom, I decided to show mum what Netflix was all about. We started off with The Babysitter and Stranger Things. She enjoyed both, and thought the latter was way better than that stupid HBO show Sharp Objects, which we both thought was boring as batshit.
