bollemanneke 3,348 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The good place, final episode. Well, as I once said to John Williams when I was teaching him to write film music, I’m glad it’s over. It really lasted too long. I can’t exactly say when it should have ended for me, but a turning point was Michael suddenly becoming a good guy. The Janets quickly started to irritate me too and Shawn had been great if they hadn’t overused him. I was kind of hoping for a final twist at the very end that the whole thing was the ultimate test and that everyone could finally go to the good place, but it was not to be. Time for another series.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yeah, but he converted too quickly and I just never bought into the idea of him being good. Maybe it was the actor, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Hoyt 13 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'm taking advantage of the free month CBS All Access is giving to watch Picard. I watched the first episode tonight, gotta listen to some podcasts about it before I move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Rick and Morty. It's... weird. I'm not sure why it's so polarizing... It's not bad; it's not ground-breaking or great. It's just an above-average Adult Swim-style show that has mostly stupid humor but fairly clever storytelling. I have to say I'm looking forward to the future of the show, though. Being guaranteed 70 additional episodes could give them a lot of flexibility that other (probably more deserving) shows never got. Now if only Brockmire got that long a rope.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 So I've been watching The Walking Dead lately and finished Season 1 and just started Season 2. Now, big question, does a real story/plot ever emerge on this show or is it just survival stuff? Because if it's the latter, I'm going to lose my patience really quick.

Edmilson 7,453 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I've read on the internet that this new season is good, better than what came before... But the show lost almost all of its initial characters, and years and years of terrible seasons made a lot of its audience to stop watching, me included. I gave up years ago, when I realized how terrible it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The Walking Dead is brilliant for what it is. It's about the individual storylines that keep hooking you. But it can get tiresome. I haven't watched beyond season 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Would one recommend watching season 1 as a one and done? I haven’t seen a single episode of The Walking Dead but I imagine it was good with Darabont running the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I watched season 1 with a room full of friends back in the day. It was fine, a bit repetitious. It's also only 6 episodes, no it's not like anything too major gets built up and pays off. I kept meaning to resume the show someday but never did, then the general sentiment towards it online just keep going down and down as the years went on, so I never bothered.

Yea...it’s all kind of soapy isn’t it? I just remember the show hitting the same beats over and over at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
