i gave up on it after about 4 episodes, the writing gets more stupid with every episode. the characthers' actions make no sense, the hanging dread of the brutal murder of the whole family seems like a minor headache for them. that ruth character is awful and annoying as fuck. and just in general it feels like there's some serious mismatch between acting and writing.

Who the fuck decided to let Lindelof do a Watchmen series?? Hasn't he fucked up enough franchises already?

After The Leftovers Lindelof has a free pass for me. I never watched Lost and I blame Ridley for Prometheus, so meh. We'll see.

Didn't see season 2 of True Detective cause it sounded/looked bad from trailers and reviews. Never seen Ali in anything but I've heard good things...who knows, depends on if they get some magic back into the scripts basically.

 

But the more important reason I'm posting is, well, Rubin, why are you getting all your news via IGN? Do you have a problem? Do you need some suggestions for better news sites, even for entertainment news? Are you okay, just browsing IGN daily checking out TV series news?

currently the odd food porn show, which are deliberately watched when a chef sibling calls round & where the recipes are a bit tricky

 

default action equates to "oh thats a piece of piss, i can do that tonight...."

 

1 hour later, food of the gods

 

tv has its uses & my own inability to do transcendental sauces/stocks justifies such cynical & icy manipulation

the sinner s01e01 - this well produced mystery-crime-drama-tv thing is looking more like a factory product than some artistic creation with every iteration. those overly labored over lush shots and score, brutal violence, brilliant but messed up detectives who see the real truth behind things, fit naked butts, dramatic snot, heavily fucked up and jesused family history and so on. it all just feels very on rails and focused grouped, it's hard to be immersed in something like that.

started with silicon valley, it's pretty neat to have a deece show go under your radar for some reason and remember it much later when you have a good bunch of episodes to watch. it's really funny but it actually doesn't feel very mike judge to me, in his past work he often invoked this sort of deeply weird and somewhat dark and uncomfortable, rather than this cutesy and fast paced, awkwardness and discomfort, like the probably autistic and tragic milton charachter in office space and the overlong beavis and butthead "uh huh huh"s, this one feels way more cheery-o and light. but it's fun anyway.

Oh darn, my mates said it was good.

 

It tries really hard to be the next BB but forgets about what made that show great - escalation, multiple plotlines that interact or culminate, character development

 

In Ozark a whole buncha shit happens but none of it really comes together, the characters never really change, there is escalation but not a lot of it. I wouldn't say it's terrible (RT shows it being panned by critics at 64%, I'd say it's at least 70%), it does tension really well and Bateman does a really great job as Marty I think... it's just not that exciting.

 

Also like half the scenes have this really cold saturation on them, makes it look drab all the time
