They've changed the name fourteen times and integrated it and deintegrated it with 500 new chat services since it was called Google Red.

I think Youtube Red lasted for 6 months, maybe a year. probably because it sounded like porn.

I think they will. They're testing the waters now I think. They have a promotion where if you're an Apple TV+ subscriber you can get CBS All Access and Showtime Anytime for $10, which is basically BOGO.

My Octopus Teacher on Netflix has a dumb title, but is one of the most beautiful and affecting nature documentaries I've seen. Highly recommended.

I swear I try to engage with Disney movies, but it's like my mind bounces off. My housemates watched Mulan tonight and I just... can't find anything interesting to think about, during the movie or after. It's like they take just enough pieces of various genres to present the most hollow possible product. I'd say it's inoffensive too but it sounds like they missed that mark this time.

I kind of thought it was still real too, or at least only recently defunct; isn't that where Cobra Kai is from?

They sold their one show people liked to Netflix. They should just rebrand as "Youtube no ads with Google play unlimited" and they'd probably sell more subs than any of their original content.

So there's a Dragon's Dogma show on Netflix. Castlevania was surprisingly good, so I'm giving this one a shot. It's based on a video game, but I've never actually played it. One episode in, I'm undecided. Has anyone here played the game?

Edit: And it's got a prestige-show opening, which is odd.

Makes sense, because Castlevania is basically prestige tv but animated.

Just finished it and.... eeeeh. The production values are solid and the quality of the animation is generally good, but that's about the best I can say for it.

The protagonist is the most generic dude imaginable and never really gets any more depth. More annoying though is that they've dialed up the edginess to maximum, to the point where it kinda feels farcical. They try to go for a corruption/downfall theme, but with only 7 episodes to cram that into, the steps on that path hit back to back so quickly it just turns into misery porn.

I've played through Dragon's Dogma twice and I can't think of a single reason to ever watch a series based on it. Like, absolutely none of it's charm comes from the narrative. The story is very much a slam the x button kind of scenario and the world is cool because it just a big D&D ripoff. Watching a show based on it sounds painful.

#Alive is very good and has an extremely dry sense of humour that I really enjoy.

One thing that I find really cool about the zombies in it is that some of them are concerningly smart, and it's creepy as hell.

Yeah early on in a news report they say some of the zombies have retained some memories or instincts, and it's a cool way to add a little extra threat in the back of your mind. Then the fireman zombie that realizes it can scale the building happens.

I liked #Alive too. The ramen commercial still running got a good laugh from me.

Also The scene where the cop finally gets over powered and the little group stops attacking so that they can drag her over to the main horde was a little shock too. It was a good mix of scary rage zombies and smart zombies.

It bothered me how the cop ran out of bullets, but the duo protagonists later use the same gun to shoot zombies.

Maybe I'm just a simple man, but I've been enjoying the Dragon's Dogma show. Each episode has the protagonist kill a giant monster and then some horrible things happen to some characters. Sometimes justice is served, sometimes things go horribly wrong. It's a solid formula.
