Have started watching Apple Cider Vinegar……I was keener on American Primeval but the girl won the toss and we have to watch that first.
Surprisingly decent so far
I admire this young lady's entrepreneurial skills. She identified a market of imbeciles and pandered to their ignorance, making herself wealthy.
If the Milli character is real, then it creates an interesting conundrum - I tend to think the one with cancer that's doing the same thing knowing it doesn't work, is worse.

@Bones mrs womble did some research, i think she said the one that actually has cancer actually believed juice and meditation worked...

Despite all evidence including her own body proving otherwise? Prolly more like said she believed it did and hoped it did.

I loved the realism. Especially when people survived this tsunami while trapped in a plane...

American Primeval
- Enjoyed the landscapes
- Enjoyed the realistic portrayals of that era/period
- Accepted the unrealistic portrayals of that era/period
- Fucking annoyed by that beeatch.
- Somebody: "Don't do this". Her: "does this". Situation: fucked. Somebody: Solves it, with great danger and harm to themselves.
- Nek minnut: Somebody: "Don't do this". Her: "does this". Situation: fucked. Somebody: Solves it, with great danger and harm to themselves.
- Nek minnut: Somebody: "Don't do this". Her: "does this". Situation: She gets... well... Somebody-Else: Solves it.
- Constant references to "I only care about my son, can't care about anything else" - but absolute revulsion for anybody else taking the same stance
- I understand the character, I just find it irritating. Constantly.
- And Then... she has the fucking gorm to throw heavy-handed hints as to "how about... you know... you and me... " - and insulted at rejection. Just - what a gormless useless bitch. I'm still watching final episode ... don't know if it's going to be sickly or sour ending yet)
- (I don't consider the previous as a spoiler - as it was obviously going to happen from E01)
Finished it now. Such a bullshit show, but kinda fun. Kid was a bit of a prick too now that I think about it. Hope they don't manufacture a S02.

Reacher Series 3.
Much darker and with more complex characters. First 2 episodes way better than series 2.

For All Mankind
This is one show where I keep wanting to watch it, but when it gets to the time of day when I am ready to watch TV... I'm wanting to watch dumb shit. I'm, like, you know, just... like, you know? wanting the easy shit to watch.
But once in a while, I'll start on something like-proper - and I remember what it's like to not be dumb.
Season 4 - I avoided for ages, because... reasons, like, you know?
Finally watch it - reminded of how good it is. Many different dimensions as to why... but a few points:Real World:
- The general idea of: How sweet could it have been if NASA hadn't rested on their laurels. Probably overdone, but....
Plot:
- If Russia is the main source of resource X - why did they bother with helping the collection of Asteroid Y chock-fill with resource X? I was constantly waiting for the reveal that they were sabotaging that entire thing from the start. But no - stupid ruskies.
- The character who used to be the "main guy" - switching between protagonist and antagonist and back again, and again... supporting/disliking him from episode to episode. Yeah... realistic to some extent, but in other ways... nah.

That "Boston" accent though. Yikes.

Well, It's def. not high drama.......

Lioness: Special operations.
Pretty good cast, including Barbie Nicole Kidman, Freeman and other faces you recognise, especially if you watch anything Sheriden has done.
Decent enough shut your brain off stuff, plenty of US bravado rah rah world police type stuff, although I don't know why shows include an annoying as fuck teen in the main cast....I can see why they wanted the character distraction, but it would have worked as well with a less annoying one.
Not sure I'll watch S2.

Season 2 was better

I'm, like, you know, just... like, you know? wanting the easy shit to watch.This is basically me for every single show that requires some level of concentration these days. It's sad, but I too end up choosing the simple stuff

@Bovidae said in TV Serieseseses:
Joss Whedon's Alien Resurrection had the the movie ending on Earth. The special edition of the movie does.
I see this takes place before Alien. Noah Hawley and Tim Olyphant - could be promising.
Yep, always hoping…..
But there has been more disappointment in all the reboots/sequels/prequels etc in the franchises I love than good stuff overall.

Hopefully awesome, very possibly shit.
