He's the weakest person on the show but eh you know, he's OK at acting like Timothy Olyphant. That role he had on The League showed more acting range than he has in like five seasons of Justified and Deadwood combined.

There are so many good reasons to watch Deadwood that it's hard to narrow down the list. From Swearengen to Hearst to Calamity Jane to the Invisible San Francisco Cocksucker. They're all incredible.

Eh, not adopting the eurp might have been a good move the way the shakier economies of the EU are doing. Also TV! Gotham has kind of warmed up for me. It's still bad, don't get me wrong, but it's kind of found its groove.

Josh Lyman posted:What kind of rear end in a top hat network takes something shot in 24fps and just plays it at 25fps without any adjustments? FX Canada, that's who. Speeding up content to cram in more advertising is distressingly common on TV now. If you watch a movie they'll fast-forward the opening credits, play the movie with the playback speed up a notch, and blaze through the ending credits in like 5 seconds. Shageletic posted:I don't know...I generally don't have time for procedurals and especially ones that focus on women getting murdered and raped. It's neither a procedural nor is the focus on women getting murderer and raped. Actually you know what, you'd better not watch it, the laat thing the internet needs is another person bad at watching TV getting mad about one of the best explorations of institutional sexism this side of Top Of The Lake because it has bad things happening to women.

That's only half (maybe even a third?) of the show, though, the other half being a really fascinating study of psychopathy, one of the best ever seen on TV. It should really appeal to fans of Hannibal too.

Olyphant is great, in Deadwood of playing a goddamn psycho attempting to be stoic, in Justified of being a cool killer cop. Its not exactly wildly different stuff, but that doesn't invalidate it....of SCIENCE! posted:

I was about to post an actual response talking about various causes of the financial crisis but then I realized who I was responding to. e: for something on topic and related to TV, I think Olyphant does a great job playing with subtle differences between similar roles in Deadwood vs. Justified. A whole lotta anger barely beneath the surfaces of both characters gets expressed quite differently. Mahlertov Cocktail fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Nov 26, 2014 |

I honestly fail to see what's glamorizing about what happens in this show when the narrative goes out of its way to portray the serial killer in question as unnerving as hell. Like there's nothing that ever happens in the show that makes Paul Spector anything other than a revolting man masquerading under the guise of normalcy. Hannibal Lecter, he is not.

Aaaalright, a bit hot headed there aren't you? I just said why I'm not too into a particular type of show, and you throw obscure English insults at me?!?!?! Swear like an American why don't you. EDIT: But the long and short of it is that I'm tired of and uninterested in seeing the murder of women as a concept of a show without actually exploring them as characters in their own right, and the murders actually being interesting in a larger societal/thematic context. That's the crux of it, when there's already so much good TV I'm missing already. Shageletic fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Nov 26, 2014 |

Olyphant was pretty solid in the Girl Next Door. Beyond that though the guy knows his range, and excels in that area. Deadwood and Justfied are good partly because of him. He's a solid charismatic anchor.

Sober posted:I really liked the show back then, especially when it got darker and they "killed off" Bob, but ummm, yeah, if you say you're gonna bring it back how about just do it when you have something to show other than a logo? The biggest problem with any revival of the property is that Tony Jay is dead and without that iconic villain the story is kind of blah.

muscles like this? posted:The biggest problem with any revival of the property is that Tony Jay is dead and without that iconic villain the story is kind of blah. While I won't deny the awesomeness of Tony Jay or Megabyte, I think the show had a ton of good episodes without him. However it will be weird for them to dial back the darker tone the show took on as it progressed. Also if instead of talking about making it they could just make it that'd be great. I don't need hype like three years in advance. Also does anyone remember good Beast Wars was and how good Beast Machines wasn't? And from what I can see the studio hasn't produced anything decent in over a decade. And if you don't count the Spider-Man show they did (I didn't care for it but it seemed to be received okay critically as far as that sorta show can be) then the studio basically crapped out entirely in the year 2000. Like when you've been accepting crap projects for that long do you even know how to make something good?
