I enjoy Brink, but owe that to not taking it too seriously, so I can see how someone wouldn't like it. It doesn't really hold up to scrutiny, but I laugh anyways.

I take it about as seriously as I do Ballers, it just produces less laughs (none as compared to one or two per episode), without having charm or charisma to coast on.

precision posted:The gradual decline of Joe Dante's career, from insane highs like Gremlins and The 'Burbs to "eh, it's alright" stuff like Small Soldiers to, most recently, the extremely bad Burying the Ex, is really sad. I thought his Looney Toons movie was pretty decent. It's kind of unfair that Space Jam gets so much unwarranted praise due to 90s nostalgia and irony while Back In Action was much better both as a movie and in being true to the characters and their humor.

Remember when Xena met Jesus and also made the Trojan Horse and founded the Ming Dynasty and hosed the god Ares. e: when I was a kid I thought it was a really entertaining show with interesting stories. Compare it to Hercules and it was a much better show.

The new Xena better have Joxer the Mighty, otherwise it'll be pure garbage. I mean, it'll likely be terrible either way but still.

While I'm enjoying this season of True Detective it is pretty crazy that its over half way and there hasn't really been any forward motion on the story.

I have to agree, as something I watch I'm liking the episodes themselves more than season 1, but I'm also thinking "how the hell is all this gonna tie together with so few episodes left?" After last night's, my new favorite crazy theory is Vince Vaughn is gonna end up adopting Colin Farrel's kid somehow

I watched the first three episodes but I fell behind because it felt like self-parody by somebody who didn't understand why the first season was so good. Also I have no idea how I should be feeling about the fact that furries are now mainstream enough that a prestigious HBO crime show is using a guy having a bunch of fursuit heads as a dogwhistle the way that network crime shows use BDSM, crossdressing, and bisexuality.

There is more action, otherwise your question is answered by the post you quoted. Furry heads are cartoonish, weird satanic sex cults use realisitic/actual animal-head masks. You know, like the first season.

Fun fact is that Dante was such a last minute addition to that movie that he showed up after principal production had actually started. I think he's talked before that he finds it difficult to get work. He's not really on anyone's list to direct anything, which is why he ends up with poo poo like Burying The Ex.

FactsAreUseless posted:I haven't seen season 2, but if the season's big mystery is "whose child will another character adopt" the plotting might need a little work. People are just joking. The actual murder mystery is a little overly complicated because it has to do with land deals and prostitution and blackmail and creepy looking Rick Springfield.

Is Eureka any good? Eureka is terrible. Check out Wonderfalls, the first season of Sleepy Hollow, and Fringe though its not really in a small town (though every city they go to looks like Vancouver). I've heard good things about Millenium. EDIT: Brink elevates itself by episode 4 when every line is just cracking. Tim Robbins is an all-star. Ballers has always been good, but its not really flashy with it. Its reliably quality so far, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it lands on its feet.
