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 213 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 7,760 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 3,473 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 1,636 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 2,057 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 26,013 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.

AC1 3,415 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Carnivale, Season 2 (final season). I think the first season is better, more mysterious, more about the life and people of the carnival. In that regard, season 2 is less rich and more interested in working towards the big showdown between Brother Justin and Ben Hawkins. It needs to be said, though, that brother Justin is a fascinating villain, wonderfully portrayed by Clancy Brown. The series deserved a third season but wasn't granted one.

Jay 26,013 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Daniel Knauf has a six season plan, with each 2 seasons telling one act of a 3-act story. So we got the first act, but not the second or third. Such a shame. I keep hoping HBO will revive it somehow... Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,441 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I loved The Walking Dead back in the day, looked forward to it each week, and was always careful to avoid spoilers. Season 1 was probably the best, but Seasons 2 and 3 were also enjoyable. By the middle of S4, I think it lost its way and never regained it. Then a few seasons ago, I started to resent its mudspinning. It became more about stupid people doing stupid things in a zombie world. I can't even tell you after what season she and I just mutually stopped watching. Probably 8 or 9, whenever <main character> let <main character> live without execution. I don't miss it one bit. I can't believe it's still running. I lost interest when Gimple ran it into the ground, and the new showrunner won't win me back. I can't believe it's spawned two television spinoffs and will also spawn a film franchise and cinematic universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 3,473 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I liked TWD until season 4 or 5, I guess, I dunno, that one when Carol single handlely destroys a compound of villains to set the other characters free. Loved her character, so badass! Then, the show became just utter shit, ruining every character, including my favorites, Carol and Rick. I gave up on season 7, and never bothered to return.
