As soon as Warrior wraps up, I'm going to resubscribe to Cinemax to binge it. If it's even half as rad as Banshee, I know I'll love it. Warrior is good, furthermore it's had one of the best single episodes of TV so far this year.

Yeah, Warrior is pretty drat good so far. I thought one or two episodes were a little slow so far, but they weren't bad or anything, just less fun than the others.

It's the only show I can think of where a PTA meeting has the potential to turn into gun fight between a 7 foot tall Native guy and a pretend sherriff and several neo nazis and then a chinese drag queen hacker shows up with a bazooka and then everyone goes and has an orgy in an Amish barn while an Amish crime lord practices kung fu on wing chun dummy .

Anyone watch The Society on Netflix? It’s about a group of high school kids finding out that everyone in their town is gone. It sounds a bit dumb but I thought it was fun. Unfortunately nothing really got explained in the first season so I’m hoping they ordered a season 2. There’s some teenage drama in the first few episodes which I think are literally added just to set the scene and to convince us that these characters who are very obviously played by actors not in high school, are in high school and do stupid high school things. But the rest of the season it’s like not important at all except for the occasional thing where the character does a stupid thing because they’re in high school and don’t know better. I think my only complaint about it is that the town the kids grew up in was said to be an affluent town where everyone’s parents were like lawyers and whatnot. From my experience an affluent town means that all those kids would have picked up some practical real world skills from their parents paying for them to do privileged things but it doesn’t seem like the case here.

Tim Robinson's bit has always been that dim witted guy that is quick to anger (or get excited), and it always cracks me up. I loved The Detroiters and wish it was still on. Anyway, I Think You Should Leave was pretty good. I died laughing at the end of episode 1. I feel like if you aren't sold by the end of the poop receipt then he is not for you, but if you are a fan of off humor dumb wit, I highly recommend checking the show out.

I watched the first episode of The Society and found it pretty silly. The most preposterous part was all of the kids cell phones still worked but only to call/text each other. That just struck me as lazy writing

Just finished Fleabag and it's really sweet at the end. I would be fine if they continued it or ended the series there, to be honest. Am watching Travelers season 2 and I am annoyed at the social worker. The situation would be strange for anyone but he hasn't really made the best decisions.

It was about him coming downstairs one morning and finding everyone in his home was gone. He searched, he panicked. Then they came back from doing their shopping. Even as a seven or eight or nine year old, stupidly young, I thought it was a dumb story. I was intentionally being vague and non-spoilery and phone posting so yeah I can see my short description of it sounding worse than it is. One of the plot points in the season was about them slowly finding out what happened to everyone else and there are supernatural elements that kinda echo Lost and the Leftovers. Spoilers obviously: We find out that the teenagers got kidnapped by a pied piper like person and brings them to a city that looks exactly like their own except that it is placed in the middle of nowhere surrounded by forests and nothing else, and all communication out to the real world doesn't work anymore… except for the aforementioned cell phones, for whatever reason. I'll take that as sloppy writing. Anyway, they later figure out that they can't possibly be on Earth anymore because the constellations they see don't match what they should be able to see, and that they saw a complete solar eclipse when the next one in that area doesn't happen until several years later. They think that they were kidnapped because they started finding weird documents and graffiti that suggested they were being punished for their parents sins. So that's going on throughout the season, and in the meanwhile the story is just about them trying to establish structure in a world without any. The final episode ends with a very short scene showing that people are still alive in the 'real' world and that all they know about what happened was that their kids all died in some tragic accident so the next season if there is one will deal with that. Ya'll don't have to watch it but I realize my short description of it made it sound worse than it is.

I really liked it, fwiw. It's well structured and is surprisingly smart. I loved the arc with the rich popular guy being forced to mop up after everyone because he has not practical skills. Then he gets depression and everyone reacts by cutting his rations in half. Mint. It's a good show.

Going by how she reacted when she was first asked I thought they were gonna go with something like incest rape but (luckily) the later scenes don't really imply that. Honestly I was half expecting the baby to come out with a completely different skin color or something and having that set up to be something for later seasons  .Lycus posted:One thing I didn't like though, was the villain's involvement in the coup.

He's not just a dumb loser but he's smart enough to understand that nobody likes him so if he wanted to pull the strings for a bit he'd need people that people actually like to listen to to look like they're calling the shots. Also about the phone thing, I thought that cell phones worked because of satellites and so if they could text each other then that means they can connect up into space so it made no sense that they could text each other but not 'outside.' But apparently I'm 100% wrong on this. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 11:28 on May 19, 2019 |

wormil posted:Barry, S1: Loved the first 2 episodes but finding the rest of the season boring and the characters uninteresting (Henry Winkler excepted, he is killing it). I've watched 5 episodes and am thinking of dropping it. Am I giving up too soon? Barry is a fantastic show. I'd say give it until the end of the season if you are already through five. The character 'Hank' steals every scene he's in.
