Gruesome Son of a Bitch 5537 Report post Posted March 17 It's a welcome respite from the boring overhyped dogooder Marvel movies but 1000% better made than the embarrassing "edgy" crap like Batman vs Superman dark and disturbing universe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 14607 Report post Posted March 18  Avenue 5 (Season 1)  Despite it's terrible first episode and second episode, we stuck with it and the show did slowwwwwwwwly get better. The pacing was at least pretty fast the entire time, so if any particular scene isn't working it's never long until you're onto the next one. The show kind of mixes this pretty big, goofy ideas that could only work in a setting like this (like the ring of shit that ends up surrounding the ship or all the dead bodies) and just sort of general workplace comedy. And that kind of sums up the season as a whole: Very unfocused, like the show spent the entire season finding it's footing and deciding what it is. Hopefully season 2 is a BIG improvement. 1 Pieter Boelen reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quintus 4676 Report post Posted March 19 Halfway through the penultimate season of The Office, the one which the fan consensus seems to agree was where the whole thing nosedived. But we are still loving it. Michael is long gone but this is still just so eminently watchable and often hilarious. Michael Scott WAS Dunder Mifflin, but the the rest of this wonderful and sprawling cast altogether assuredly very much still make up The Office. I'm going to be absolutely gutted once it's finished.  Out of interest, are there any US members here who don't actually like this show? Just curious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bollemanneke 1461 Report post Posted March 20 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.  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trent Hoyt 12 Report post Posted March 23 I finally started watching Star Trek Discovery. Â I'm not going to subscribe to CBS all access for it. Â I watched the first 5 episodes last night. Â It's a binge-watch type show for sure but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Â Plus, I know all of the major season 1 spoilers already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gnome in Plaid 212 Report post Posted March 29 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.

PuhgreÞiviÞm 6251 Report post Posted April 1 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.
