A24 4,345 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Episode 3 of Hannibal S1 was very meh and made me frown in disbelief a lot. Hannibal the sidekick is starting to annoy me too. I expected better from this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,371 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 The show goes through some growing pains in the early middle part of season one before picking up again. The network wanted a bunch of "serial killer of the week" stories for a while, but the last third of the season it drops that and gets more serialized.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm halfway through Daredevil and the show is starting to annoy me. It features a hero whose only solution to his problems appears to be to punch people in the face hard and repeatedly. It's become an aggressively violent show. I'll likely finish it, but it's not living up to the promise of the first few episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,371 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Agreed. I really liked it at first but its getting worse all the time (I just finished Episode 8). Jessica Jones is way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Jessica Jones is way better. I agree. I watch JJ with the kid (just like I watched Mr. Robot S1 with him). It's the only Marvel show that I didn't want to turn off immediately. The hard-boiled detective chick approach makes it a bit more original.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The kid makes me watch it, I have no choice. It has its tense moments though. The main character with his monotone voice is kinda terrible. Other than that, the show experiments so it get points for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I don't think Mr. Robot is terrible. I do think it is hugely predictable, once you realize what film it is imitating/ripping off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,371 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 The Last Man On Earth Season 1I finally got back to this show and finished the first season (I had watched the pilot and next episode or two shortly after they premiered, but my wife wasn't interested in continuing so it got back-burnered for a while). Well, I like it a lot, this is a very good show! It's continually funny every week (usually due to Will Forte's antics), and the story it tells is a good an compelling one, too.In fact I can't think of another comedy that's plotted like this, I really enjoyed the serialized nature of the storytelling. Almost all comedies feature a pretty big "reset button" often, so one can tune in any time and just enjoy a funny 22 minutes, so I'm glad this show doesn't really do that (Though maybe it will in later seasons, who knows).I love that the show sets up a situation, explores that for a while, then introduces another character at JUST the right time to shake everything up and find a new angle to explore. First you had Phil all alone, then just when he's about to kill himself, Carol shows up. Then the shows explores the two of them, through Phil being willing to marry her and be happy with that, then January Jones shows up. Then the show explores that new situation, and just when Phil is about to have sex with her, Todd shows up. Then just when that dynamic is established, Gail and Erica show up, etc.I enjoyed the ending of the season, with Phil and Carol outed from the group, and a random reveal that Phil has a brother alive up on a space station (?) and look forward to where season 2 will go!

I never seen photography like that. I'm sure I've seen art films like it, but I've certainly never seen a TV show with that style, which I appreciate. Much of the photography was aping David Fincher's visual style, I thought, in terms of color palette and depth of field.But yes, the show does experiment a lot, which is very valuable, particularly the extended dream sequence episode, which I loved.

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It took eight seasons but I think The X-Files finally jumps the shark when they set a religious cult in Pittsburgh but show a very noticeable palm tree outside the first crime scene.

KK 3,307 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yes, David Fincher is an apparent influence. In fact, Mr. Robot is more David Fincher than House Of Cards.It's Fincher with a dash of Kubrick.Musically and visually, this show is a treat and tries to set itself apart from conventional television.It's unfortunately plagued by some cardboard characters and mediocre plotting. For a show that tries so hard to be different, the writers can't seem to get off of typical network television patterns.But I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Tighter writing could bring a very good second season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already 8 episodes available in german dub. Now at 7 and really like the band of characters. The Coen-esque eye for slightly off-kilter looking characters pays off handsomely if you compare it with a lot of bland whitebreads from other shows.

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Oh God I should have stopped X-Files with Mulder's departure. While the seventh season descended into blatant self parody, now it's just a reboot with Scully as believer and new guy as skeptic. Now I'm just keeping it on as background noise while I clean up.
