My roommate is watching Survivor and I wish I could get into it but it just doesn't click with me. I think it's all the strategizing and alliances; it's ridiculous and stupid and I should be all over it but it just comes off as boring high school drama. Combine that with the "survivalist" setting and it makes the show seem more manufactured. I guess I'll just stick with the 90 day fiance series even though they're just as manufactured.

I guarantee it's about money. If it's technically a new show then they can pay lower salaries again.

I've never seen that show outside of this thread so I choose to believe it's about a guy who makes dishwashers but also goes on adventures (mostly related to dishwashers or other kitchen appliances)

Seemingly no Jamie Hector either, which sucks. I like J. Edgar and his character background is getting deeper & deeper.

Looks like the Paramount+ catalog went live early (it's possible it's been there since March 1st without me noticing.)

Bosch is going international to keep hunting down the baddies that took out his ex-wife and Job from Banshee. Unless he already did that and I forgot.

Occasionally the early court room scene pops into my head 'Detective Bosch, just how many people have you killed?' 'I don't know' 'Thank you for your service' (referring to his former green beret exploits)

I think it's all the strategizing and alliances; it's ridiculous and stupid and I should be all over it but it just comes off as boring high school drama. Combine that with the "survivalist" setting and it makes the show seem more manufactured. I'm going to defend Survivor here without trying to sound like an overly protective fanboy. I know Survivor is Reality TV (arguably the godfather of the genre) but it's not "Reality TV". Yes, the producers are telling a story. Yes, they will edit people down to stereotypical archetypes but there is very little manufactured or fake stuff when it comes to actual life on the island or the interactions between the contestants. 90 Day Fiance, The Bachelor, Real Housewives etc. are entirely different beasts with prolific use of Franken-biting (Survivor is guilty of this too, but not anywhere near the same degree), fake beefs purely to pop a rating, entirely staged settings/environments designed purely for the camera and nothing else. What you're seeing on Survivor when it comes to camp life is largely exactly what's happening. Contestants and crew are not allowed to interact with the exception being a producer coming over to ask a contestant to come to the side and film a confessional. I assume you're watching Survivor on whatever service has recently put seasons up for streaming, and I'm not sure what seasons are available, but if you're a fan of reality TV there is bound to be an era of Survivor that appeals to you (it's changed a lot over 20 years). If it's the insane strategizing and the manufactured twists that aren't your jam, then you'd perhaps appreciate some of the older seasons when the game was a lot more "pure". Seasons like S15: China, S7: Pearl Islands, S6: The Amazon, S10: Palau or Season 12: Panama. You could even go as late as S19: Tocantins or S16: Micronesia (this is a great season but does have a Fans vs Favourites gimmick with half the players being returnees so maybe don't do it as a first viewing). You could even go back to one of the first 3 seasons where even uttering the word "alliance" was taboo for the most part.

I'm guessing the Bosch spinoff is going to be something to do with him leaving the police force and working for Mimi Rogers.

Hakkesshu posted:Article says he's EP so he has at least some involvement. Eh, that doesn't necessarily mean much. JJ Abrams is a guy, for example, who probably has a dozen different executive producer credits at any given time but has no actual involvement. Spielberg and Ridley Scott are much the same way. Technically Dick Wolf is the EP on L&O SVU, L&O Organized Crime, the three Chicago shows, as well as the two FBI shows on CBS, but apparently the only ones he really pays attention to and works on are the two L&Os. Greg Berlanti seemingly has an EP credit on just about every single show on The CW; Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof are happy to put their names on anything that comes their way. And, of course, Aaron Spelling would let just about anyone put his name on a TV show or a movie if they slipped him a few bucks, but he was legendarily hands-off from most things he was nominally attached to. And so on. A lot of the time, someone will allow their name to be attached to a project as an EP just because the name value makes it a little bit easier for that project to get funding or a green light. Other times it's contractual, like how Gene Roddenberry held an executive consultant title on the Star Trek movies, and an EP credit on The Next Generation, despite having been removed from involvement with both (or, more recently, Bryan Fuller keeping his EP credit on Star Trek Discovery despite being fired months before filming began). Either way, I think that's what's happening with Soderbergh and the Knick spinoff. Timby fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Mar 4, 2021 |

I don't have the same confidence in Rob Thomas as I used to. iZombie just fizzled out during the last few seasons, and the new season of Veronica Mars was a little disappointing.

All Creatures Great and Small is my fav show so far this year. It has the impossibly beautiful rolling green hills of a quaint English countryside town and what looks like extremely expensive costumes and sets that look straight out of the 1930s. Also has really cute puppies and farm animals. In almost every episode the protagonist sticks his arm deep into a cow's or horse's rear end in a top hat to diagnose them.

Yeah that's the one. The main character girl, or her brother maybe, could turn the power back on or something as well, which was why Giancarlo Esposito wanted to kidnap him. It was so stupid, and it's a shame it didn't go longer.

Is this where I can ask for recommendations? My partner and I really enjoy two kinds of shows: weird/mystery box shows (Lost, X-Files, and Twin Peaks) and shows full of beautiful cinematography/music/Big Social Themes (My Brilliant Friend, The Young Pope, and High Maintenance). We especially like shows if they manage to do both things (Utopia, Watchmen, and The Leftovers). Action can be fun (The Witcher and The Mandalorian), but that's less of a priority for us. Suggestions for something new to watch?
