Of course the alternative reason that not many people are discussing Altered Carbon is that it's not very good. In fact, it's basically a boring slog of a program that is visually expensive but ultimately doesn't look very new or fresh at all.

On the other hand I think it's great and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Altered Carbon is very genre-y and very good at being that in my opinion. Not surprising that it rubs some people the wrong way.

While I haven't seen a lot of TV commercials for Altered Carbon they did multiple podcast ad buys on a couple different ones I listen to.

PriorMarcus posted:Of course the alternative reason that not many people are discussing Altered Carbon is that it's not very good. I thought it was fine, but man that finale was bad. Even in the book the whole outcome and mystery was just lame (now I remember why I only ever read the first book). In the show you can actually point to the moment it goes bad, which is when his sister shows up. That said the flashback in the next episode is fine, it is just everything in the current timeline has went to poo poo. Everything from his sister to the outcome feels forced. Honestly the finale was so bad I felt bad for the actors in it. Even they had to think this is some stupid poo poo. Still I will give season 2 a spin, and it did make me appreciate the Expanse more. I hope they forget the books, and do their own thing.

I think Broken Angels’ Aliens meets Apocalypse Now would work better than AC as a tv series. The changes from the book were really the worst part, like making Reileen his sister instead of another crime boss, or Stacks an alien thing, and so on. I liked the series, a lot, even, but a lot of the changes had me scratching my head and asking “why?”

I feel like Netflix relied far more heavily on attraction as opposed to promotion until a few years ago, when it really decided that the bulk of its content spend was going to be on its originals as opposed to licenses, and no one was going to advertise their originals for them.

There’s been a weird critical turn on their originals, too. I don’t feel like the quality has slipped that much for their big ticket stuff, but recent stuff like Altered Carbon and Bright have gotten a lot more of a critical thrashing then they deserved.

https://twitter.com/WriterRAS/status/962035268097200129quote:In Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Salem was a warlock who’d been sentenced to live for 100 years as a cat after trying to take over the world. However, in The Chilling Adventures comic his story is quite a bit darker. As shown in a standalone issue of the series, he was a human who was turned into a cat by Salem’s witches after getting a witch pregnant and refusing to marry her. On the Netflix series, Salem the satanic feline joins Kiernan Shipka, who is playing the part of Sabrina, and Jaz Sinclair, as her best friend Rosalind Walker. Gets transmogrified for being a fuccboi

Eh, it could just be that they’re slipping a bit. Bright deserved the criticism it got. I was 110% on board with it until it started hopping from threat to threat in increasingly unrealistic way, and the multiple elf ex machinas were just lazy and borderline insulting writing. Will and Joel sold the material as well as they could but at the end of the day it needed a major rewrite. I guess if the point was to make a mediocre 90’s action film they succeeded? Then again I thought that The Cloverfield Paradox was better than everyone was saying it was so it might just be a case of taste being subjective.

I liked Bright but I can see how people wouldn’t, but calling it the worst movie of 2017 and a new form of hell is waaay over the top. Way worse stuff came out, even if it’s not your cup of tea. Haven’t seen clover field paradox yet, but I could see it being another similar situation.

Cloverfield Paradox wasn't terrible, but it was mostly a bunch of other, better sci-fi and horror movies smashed together. lelandjs posted:Eh, it could just be that they’re slipping a bit. They're still doing okay with their TV shows (although the most recent Marvel ones have been hot messes), and they're still turning out good stuff like Stranger Things, Unfortunate Events, I thought The Crown took huge leaps forward in its second season, etc. Where they're really spinning their wheels is with movies, and I have no idea what the hell has happened to the quality control there, but between stuff like Bright and A Christmas Prince and Step Sisters and the like ... woof.

I wouldn’t say better, but their motivations were equally developed and it felt less contrived. Honestly, if you liked the series, you’ll love the book. Go check it out. It’s only 4-5 hundred pages, it’s not a GOT style door stopper.

Are those movies actually Netflix productions or are they just scooping up poo poo that nobody wants for cheap? There has also been a bunch of mediocre war movies (Siege of Jagdtenville, that one with the water truck etc).
