Is that any good or is it only for Fleabag people? As someone who loved Fleabag, The End of the F***ing World is the best TV/series thing I've watched in a long time. It strikes a gripping balance between twisted humour and a seriously dark side, and yet it's persistently entertaining. I watched it in two evenings, but only by gaterhing all my willpower to turn it off after the S1 finale on the first night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The End Of The Fucking World was fantastic. Wes Anderson coming-of-age story with a dark twist. I’m glad it ended after Season 2, I even debated watching it all because Season 1 was so concise and had a great ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She liked him too, even more than the brother, but that was precisely the problem. All her life, she and her mother moved from one place to another, and so she has learned not to attach herself to things she likes or loves. What's the use of painting a room if you know it's only going to be your room for a few months? That's not garbage, Koray, that's sad, and it's not her fault. This is actually what her whole story arc was about. All the kids in the story had problems because of the way they were brought up. They are the victims and that's why they start little fires everywhere. And you're right, it's all a bit on-the-nose, even soapy, just like Little Big Lies.

crocodile 7,999 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Finished season 3 of Community. It was indeed just as good as season 2. I'm afraid to continue now. Speaking of season 2, Netflix and Hulu both removed Advanced Dungeons and Dragons episode that we discussed some time ago (the one with Howard Shore score parody) over racist content? Bit of an odd choice. Call me naive I only ever saw it as a reference to a fictional Dark Elf race from fantasy fiction. Perhaps I'm not educated enough? Come to think of it, they should probably ban Howard Shore's LOTR scores for using African instruments to depict Mordor. You can have this one, Twitter.

Holko 9,516 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Finished Breaking Bad (+El Camino) for the first time. 's pretty good, innit? Season 1 was cute and good but it was still trying to find its tone and I could see myself getting tired of the flashforwards to the end of the episode and the "chemistry trick of the week" gimmick and stuff like that soon. Then season 2 came and holy shit. Having done it in a month instead of 5 years like probably literally everyone else on the planet, much of it blends together but the one where they are stuck in the desert trying to restart the van and the fly one really stand out as episodes I loved (standing out probably because they do stand out structurally bit I did love them).

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 It's very good but not " the.greatest show ever"; not by a long shot. At its core it's pure pulp- 'Grade A' but still pulp. Even Vince Gilligan acknowledged this. He was totally surprised people - like Steven King-.took it as a serious work of art-on the same level as THE WIRE!?????

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Homecoming s.2 Mixed bag . The scenes with the lesbian couple were dreadfully dull. No chemistry between these unconvincing characters. Joan Cusack , as usual, was obnoxious and awfully. But , the lead who was in a.1, is a terrific young actor. Chris Cooper also had his moments. Thankfully, Cannivale didn't return. Well plotted and directed with good music. Check it out! .1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my favourite moments come from the Abed/Troy interactions and Shirley. I don't think the show gets bad as such but it feels somewhat incomplete now. I'm not sure whether I should necessarily miss Chevy Chase but, even with all the actor/character transgressions, he felt like a part of the fabric that made the show. I enjoyed Jonathan Banks in season 5 and now I'm disappointed he's not in season 6... Ah, well... It's still enjoyable and very watchable despite all of this. 12 episodes left...

Karol Yea...regardless of Chase's problematic behaviour, his character, like all the characters in the core group are just an essential part of the show's fabric (The group needs its Pierce!). It says a lot about just how strong that ensemble is. And you're right, the show never gets bad. Harmon is too clever for that. But it loses a lot of the charm and heart that defined the glory seasons, again because of the cast falling apart, the reduced number of episodes and the budget inching towards zero (you'll notice in the later seasons, the cast is never really "outdoors" anymore). And yes, Banks was great in season 5. So is Paget Brewster in season 6. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Watched the first two episodes of German language paranormal thriller Dark. Makes me laugh how everyone falls over themselves to bum Stranger Things when you've got something like this instead which just does absolutely everything about that sci-fi missing person formula so much more effectively. The MacGuffin is pretty bloody irresistible in this series, even if it feels like a retread (up to now, anyway). But I bet there are big surprises in store. Please don't tell me I'm the only one watching this here? This is also my favourite or "optimal" kind of TV show photography. The image quality is pristine yet the atmosphere is thick and immersive. I'd love a Middle-Earth series to look exactly like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 There's an English dub and from what I could tell it doesn't seem bad at all. The subs help to keep me from falling asleep though, and I find them less distracting than out of sync lip movements. The only thing I don't like is the overuse of the descending electro strings chord which constantly plays over the soundtrack. It is loud and obnoxious, I hope they don't rely on it for the entire series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
