Speaking of Misfits... The first time I watched it, there only were 3 seasons. They were all pretty good. I stubbornly insisted on watching the remaining 2 seasons this rewatch. I have 2 episodes left, but I feel like I can say that it's best to stop after season 3.

If it's any consolation, it's almost certainly the series finale of the show. Also, I put it in spoiler text previously but gently caress it: If you're a fan of the Zero Escape videogame series, you'll probably get a kick out of E04S03 of Sherlock because it felt more like Zero Escape then it did Sherlock. Not even kidding.

Rhyno posted:I quit at the end of 3 as I heard nothing good about the rest. Yeah, some of the new characters are okay, but none of the plots are. And its orobably a budget thing, but it's basically not a show about powers any more. Characters almost never use their powers. It's just bad.

I still want someone to answer the question: if Frasier and Niles were brought up solidly middle class, where did they get their snooty tastes from? It's said they got their attitudes and stuff from their mother, but they just wouldn't have the money for most of their lives to develop such expensive tastes.

You are both insane, Misfits seasons 4 and 5 are both improvements over 3 and eventually Rudy is by far the best character ever. It's actually somewhat silly and unfair to even talk about seasons 1+2 and seasons 4+5 in the same context though as by then the cast is largely entirely new and it's more like an anthology show, the end of season 2 is the end of the show having a meta-plot.

Rudy is one of the best characters, but there are basically no good episodes in seasons 4 and 5. They do have the second-best probation worker though.

Ok, so I watched the first episode of Unfortunate Events and, while I'm not going to go on an angry rant like that other dude, that was one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune to see. NPH, why?

I'm just having trouble reading that someone is an NPH fan and doesn't like the show. It's no so clear in episode 1, but starting with 2 the show becomes extremely "NPH-esque" and his performance just keeps building, and it is awesome

I bounced off of Stranger Things really hard too and that was a tviv darling. Like I said, I'm going to go on an angry rant like the other poster. All of the plot and dialog just felt like it was trying so hard. I wrote more but I decided it was getting to be too much; more power to those who enjoy the show, I just don't understand why at all.

Now I'm afraid of watching Unfortunate Events and hating it, because most of the appeal of the books is not so much in the plot as it is in the writing style that I feel like wouldn't translate well to screen. Also because that 200X movie was such a piece of poo poo.SpannerX posted:Oh, I'm going to hate watch the gently caress out of that, then get MY WIFE to admit it's poo poo so I don't have to watch any of that again. We've only been watching it because we were hoping for at least one good episode, and it's not much of a time commitment when there's not much new airing during the winter hiatus. But... I think this will have to be where we give up for good, that last episode was just unbelievably bad. It's weird because they have these montages of other cases where all kinds of crazy adventures seem to be ensuing, all of which are far more interesting than the actual plot of the episode. raditts fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Jan 17, 2017 |

Aside from one person in the show's thread, everyone who's coming at the show from the background of the books seem to like it. It looks to me like people bouncing off the first episode tend to not like the style that the show and books are going for. I think you'll enjoy it.

Also because that 200X movie was such a piece of poo poo. I've only watched the first episode so far and my main issue is both how close it is to the books and how it diverts from the books. For instance, Klaus' pretentious manner of speaking works fine on the page, but starts to get grating after awhile while watching a TV show. I won't go into what the show adds to the books because it's kinda spoilery but it was definitely kinda off-putting to me. Also, the show is all over the map tonally. I get that it can't be grimdark all of the time, but some of the silliness is a... bit too much. Finally, because of the performances of some of the actors, the show seems far more childish than the books ever did (see also: the Golden Compass movie). I don't mind NPH as Olaf, though I didn't see him as anyone other than Olaf, so jury's still out on him. I know Carrey was a polarizing choice for Olaf for the movie, but I personally felt like he did a great job of making all the characters Olaf pretends to be feel unique at a glance. That said, ASoUE isn't a bad show, per se. I personally didn't enjoy watching it, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who will.

If you don't like the rest that's fine but if you stopped for that reason I promise it was a mistake.

The parents? Nah, it wasn't that, it was really how hard it seemed they were pushing the VFD stuff... Though I guess in retrospect it was only obvious because I knew about it. The parents thing was actually pretty great because I know that the Beaudelare parents can't possibly be alive so they added scenes of them as a giant rear end pull to gently caress with the more knowledgeable viewers [Edit: though I guess it could be a double blind... huh, maybe I should watch more]

One thing that does kind of bug me about A Series of Unfortunate Events is the CG baby head. It is just kind of offputting whenever it shows up.

It is a real baby a lot of the time but whenever there's a scene where people have to run around the baby becomes a doll with a CG head.

Would anyone be up for making a new Better Call Saul thread? New season premiers April 10 so exactly enough time to watch all 82 episodes of BB and BCS one a day if anyones up for that. Season 3 clips have started to come out including two teasers showing Jimmy in booking going to jail, a Los Pollos Hermanos advert and the confirmation of Gus returning, and this first full clip form the premiere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCaepUgw6OQ
