I'm fully onboard with Norm MacDonald's Dying Fantasy read of Breaking Bad's finale.

zoux posted:Breaking Bad's "finale" wasn't a finale. It bucked the trend of back loading the final episode with everything and instead put the series climax at the second to last episode, with the final two episodes serving as the resolution. So comparing the final episode of Breaking Bad with other finales is dumb and specious. So you're saying it's the Generations to Ozymandias' All Good Things?

Tom Cherones directed 57 episodes of NewsRadio, nearly 60% of the series. The closest second direct 7.

Crossposting from the Network Programming thread: You should all be watching Ravenswood. It's a legitimately creepy show with great performances and solid writing masquerading as a teen drama.

Deadpool posted:Dylan McDermott/Dermot Mulroney is an FBI agent who holds a surgeon's family hostage so she'll kill the President in surgery. There's a lot of really dumb poo poo packed into the first episode. I decided not to continue on past that. I would not be surprised if there's been about 2,000 plot twists in the episodes since then though. Seemed like it was the kind of show that really didn't care if anything made sense.

The original Defenders was pretty great. It started out with hyper-powered heroes like Dr. Strange, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer and Submariner, then rapidly degenerated into a clusterfuck of whoever felt like showing up. Everyone from Valkyrie, to Valkyrie's host body's petulant ex-husband. One multi-issue run involved some hanger-on publicist running a tv ad inviting people to become members. And about 30% of the plots involved trying to calm the Hulk down, but then just intentionally pissing him off and aiming him at the villain.

Netflix practically has a captive audience for the series with a built-in marketing campaign. They'll at least be worth a look for anyone who's just finished watching one of the movies and is wants a little more.

Chuck was bland. Like Psych but without the edge. Morgan was creepy and annoying. I think I made it through the first season.

BrooklynBruiser posted:For most people it seems to be either Stockholm Syndrome or Battered Spouse Syndrome. The entire last season of Dexter was the writers just daring the audience to stop watching. "You're still here after we made LaGuerta a bench? Well gently caress YOU, BECAUSE NOW DEXTER'S A LUMBERJACK."

EL BROMANCE posted:At what point did the people who go mad over PoI start to feel like that? I'm 6 or 7 episodes in they witness episode and it's enjoyable enough, but nothing mind blowing. It still has that 'network' feel of ensuring people can jump in at anytime which grates and not enough arc compared to crime of the week. Scandal dealt with that by about this point so I'm hoping PoI does it too, because at the moment watching another 16 episodes or so just to finish a season feels like it might be a slog without much payoff. Sophia posted:Hannibal was very beautiful to watch but it had nothing to interest me as a weekly television show with no ending. Awake was similar, as was Last Resort and The Following. I've really lost my appetite for serious shows that aren't self-contained but stretch out into perpetuity.

BrooklynBruiser posted:To be entirely honest, the reason I haven't caught up more on Person of Interest is the rapturous way that people talk about it. I've seen the first 10 episodes of season 1 and I've really enjoyed what I've seen, but the constant nigh-orgasmic reactions people have to it are grating as hell, especially because I don't really see anything that exceptional about the show. I mean, it's very competent - well-acted, well-written, well-designed, etc. but I just don't see anything very special about it.

IRQ posted:It's barely even a vaguely sci-fi related show at all so no. It is a very good action/procedural with great acting and writing. STAC Goat posted:Fair enough. I had heard the opposite but that was early in the season so maybe it changed. Or maybe the person I heard it from was simply wrong.

STAC Goat posted:I sometimes avoid "popular" shows and it's not some teenage rebellion buck the trend nonsense. Its a simple matter of expectations. If my expectations for a show are low going in then its hard to be disappointed. Sometimes it sucks and you don't feel like you missed anything, sometimes its mediocre and you just move on, and sometimes its good and you're pleased. But if a show has been pumped up and sold hard to you then it's got a bar it needs to live up to. I don't like that and it's really not fair. The show didn't hype itself up like that. I shouldn't judge it on its fans' opinions. But human nature is what it is and if you've heard for years that The Wire is a transcendent piece of television better than anything that came before or after then its going to be pretty easy for you to be let down. precision posted:I'm sorry. If only my hype had worked for Rectify.

Irish Joe posted:Let's be real for a moment: how hard can it be to play two (or five) different characters when each one looks completely different, has a different accent and is so completely different in characterization that the performer doesn't have to add any subtlety to her performance? Its not like Fringe where Anna Torv played slight variations on the same woman. Tattiana's characters in Orphan look and act nothing alike and have nothing in common except that they're played by the same woman.

regulargonzalez posted:Can anyone recommend a show similar to Chuck (or the first 3 seasons of Chuck, I should say). Bonus if it's on Netflix. Looking mostly for that style of comedy with some eye candy and a rather light tone, the action is fine but not necessary but I'm looking for comedy + (other genre), not just a straight sitcom. And ideally hour long episodes, so while otherwise Parks and Rec would kinda fit, it's not quite right.

They're going to kill off Fitz or Simmons so that later on, someone will call the remaining one "Fitzsimmons" and it will be awkwardly dramatic and symbolic and poo poo.
