True Detective Season Four
Outstanding. Issa López made a worthy successor to the first season.
I thought it was absolute shit.
Was it the lack of this that upset you?
Where is the full clip, you tease?

The cleaning ladies raiding the place like they were Seal Team Six is something I will always go back to if I need a laugh
Yeah - I just finished watching the final episode... there were a couple of moments I thought "hmmm... not quite plausible" - but that wasn't one of them.

True Detective: Insomnia edition
- from the start, got a little bit worried that it was going to be full-blown "Eskimo-woke" (for those who don't understand the meanings of either the words "Eskimo" or "woke")
- from the start, got a little worried that the setting would mean very low tit-watch
- from the start, got a little bit worried that the relationship between all the main antagonists was going to be a little bit predictable
- from "Just Now" - realised that all the main antagonists
were female!had vaginas! Shit - actually didn't click to that until just now, and how that might trigger certain others. I only thought about it when thinking about how predictable their interactions were going to be. Fuck - is that even more sexist than the drongos who probably dismissed this series because of the lack of cocks? Fuck.. I need to go re-evaluate myself. - Sorry - that last paragraph was literally drunken-brain-dump-as-I-thought-of-it
- Anyway - always suspected (spoiler alert) - that they'd try to step back from the supernatural side as it got to the end, while leaving an element of "ooohhh... perhaps...?" in the background. Which... yeah, duh - but... they did kinda overplay the scooby-doo shit early on.

Tit-watch: zero. And I understand that shit... that was some cold-ass context. -

Do I get away with it with "that was the joke" ?

But then, it was featuring a culture other than european-white-men.
In fact - some (paranoid-delusionals) - might consider it was pushing a culture other than WMA.
So yeah - probably not your cup of tea.3 episodes in and I can't quite make up my mind up. The Inuit side of things I actually quite like and adds a lot to the acting and atmosphere, but I hope it improves - bit underwhelming at times

Only if you realise that knew that.

@MiketheSnow said in TV Serieseseses:
Oh yes
Good grief. Can they really keep milking this show and make it interesting? Started out amazing but I’m fairly sure I gave up when the hundreds of bullets aimed at Negan all miraculously missed just so he’d be around to be the bad guy for yet another season.

I gave up when I couldn't distinguish the plot from one season to another.

Seal Team Six makes an appearance. -

Shogūn
Based on Clavell's book
Two episodes have been aired
It is very goodOne of my read once a year books. I hope it sticks reasonably to the characters, even if there is no way they can do the full story. I hope we don't see a watering down of the brutality and beauty of the book. The events less important than the characters and the atmoshhere

@NTA said in TV Serieseseses:
@Machpants some pleasant gets their head cut off at random in the first episode. So there's that
Well that's in the book!

Isn't that a common TD theme?

I wanted to like it.
Found the two main characters distinctly unlikeable.
All the good police work is done by their young assistant. -
Most TV shows are complete shit. David Chase has stated that they are now written so that people can still follow them if they are using their phone throughout.
Tokyo Vice season two is very good. Best thing on TV by a mile. Looks great too. Night time shots are very nice.
