For All Mankind is great from 1-4 It's less realistic (sorta) in 3/4 but it's still good. It just depends how you feel about interpersonal drama I think. I'm fine with it, some people hate it.

Just skip the parts. You'll know the parts. Its fine if you do that, you lose basically next to nothing.

Jehde posted:Season 3 of For All Mankind wasn't that bad, it's just that the previous seasons were so impeccably great. There's some pretty dumb poo poo, and an weird fake-out cliffhanger that reads like a dropped plotline. It's not great.

This Charming Man posted:Got a 3-month trial to Apple TV+ with my new TV and I'm looking for must-watch stuff before it runs out. So far I've just been watching Masters of the Air and the animated movie Wolfwalkers. Calls is really cool if you like sci-fi horror. It's an audio drama where you over-hear hosed up phone calls. The visuals are exclusively sound bars, though the show gets creative with them and tie them into the storytelling. The cast is surprisingly good for what it is as well.

Anyone watched Liaison with Vincent Cassel and Eva Green? It's about Anglo-French spies and a cyber terror plot in London. I watched the first and while the cast is great it feels like it's going down a road plot wise I've seen a hundred times already.

Constellation is pretty good so far, but I really want something to happen in the next episode. Like, I think we all get the premise and what's going on now. Are the characters just going to be confused for 4 more episodes? I guess I want more weird science stuff and less 'Mummy!'. frogbs fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Mar 2, 2024 |

I agree. I want Jo and Bud to start working together and not just Jo constantly getting scared of things and only telling people who won't understand.

I know it's been a quarter of a century since my guy played one of the best villains of all time in Les Miserables (2000), but it's sad to see John Malkovitch's French accent suck so bad in The New Look.

The twists are predictable but not dragged out too much and Green and Cassel are reallly good. The Syrian refugees are great too. The plot device of the comically evil PMC with moles everywhere and heavily armed teams operating freely in Europe is getting used too much at the moment I think.

Been psyched for this since I heard it announced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twvPGxuEOEA The trailer is super misleading though, to the point where I reckon it could hurt the show a bit. It's a science fiction story.

I was curious why you were excited by the show so I looked it up and found very few details other than it being a sci-fi drama that's created by mark protosevich and directed by fernando meirelles, neither of whom worked on those shows from what I can see mark protosevich's filmography isn't incredibly inspiring aside from the cell being cool (but I think that was more to do with tarsem singh)

He wrote BraBad's Fly.

I liked the new episode of Constellation. I think they could’ve moved the story along a little faster, but I’m looking forward to next weeks episode. Jonathan Banks did a great job this ep.

Jonathan Banks did a great job this ep. I like how we're steadily getting more information about what's going on, instead of the showrunners just throwing more mysterious crap at the walls like a lot of mystery shows. It seems that the border between realities thins at liminal spaces, and outer space is the most liminal of them all. Therefore, astronauts regularly cross realities or see into different realities. Sometimes, they even become entangled with alternate versions of themselves. Also, my dad is from Møn, so great to see it make an appearance! They should go to Møns Klint next; that's very liminal. I do agree with the critics that the dialogue can be a bit stilted at times. Hello, famous physicist. I just called to explain the concept of quantum entanglement!

That was very apparent with the Danish guy, standing there and yelling No No No as though he was about to intervene. He should've just been swearing under his breath. I'm glad the show is finally moving on to the characters understanding what's happening though. Having said that, Jo's motivation for stealing the Cal was flimsy at best. Henry had told her it was magic, but she had way more reason to react to Henry talking to his Budleganger, or dig into why her daughter forgot Swedish in one day, than she had to run off with the Cal hoping it'd do something.

I was watching Slow Horses while looking after a nephew and he asked me why everyone was calling Diana their Mom. I explained the British pronunciation of Ma'am while holding in any giggling. It's understandable why he would interpret it that way.

I wish constellation would just move the plot along. I get it, there's a mystery, I want to see what the mystery is. Having Jo want to figure it out, then decide she doesn't want to, and then suddenly decides she wants to again is annoying. I think I'll have to go back and watch the show again after it's all done to catch the little details.

Constellation question about the most recent episode: At the end the kid screams "Mamma" in contrast to saying just before that she doesn't call her mother that. Does that mean she's the kid from Noomi Rapace's home universe and I'm misremembering how the cabin stuff went down in the first episode? Is she purposefully imitating the kid from the other universe? Or is it a cliffhanger and I'm supposed to not be sure what to make of it? Liking the show in general, even with it being a bit slow, but it also makes me miss Counterpart.
