Showtime has another winning show with Yellowjackets Holy poo poo Synopsis quote:This equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama tells the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.

Is Yellowjackets supposed to be the genderswapped Lord of the Flies remake they announced a while back which caused a huge internet slap fight over whether or not girls would follow the same path or not?

I have loved Melanie Lynskey since Heavenly Creatures (I have no idea what happen to the other main actress. I guess she quit acting) and I am always down to check her work out. Adding it to the list. We are going from nothing to watch, to almost too much to watch again.

Lynskey is amazing in that film and I'm always into seeing her in stuff because of it, so seeing her turn up in Yellowjackets was a great surprise. I didn't see the cast list at all beforehand, so I was marking out every 10 minutes or so.

Showtime does have it's own app just like any other platform and depending on device their originals are 4k Dolby Vision.

Shattered Glass is really good. It and Life as a House are proof that Hayden Christensen actually can act when given the chance.

Lodge 49 is a great show, in which absolutely nothing happens, yet somehow there is tremendous character development.

The new Dexter was fine, but it really wasn't that good either. The whole episode just felt dated in everyway possible. How many fake-outs is an episode of TV allowed? Also a big drop in quality when it comes to the supporting cast. To be honest despite what nostalgia tells us, Dexter was never great TV anyway. Yes it was fun and it was great to see Michael Hall as Dexter after him playing David Fisher for so long. I know season 4 is suppose to be peak Dexter (which I did enjoy overall), but for me the show peaked in season 2 with Doakes and Lila. If this was a new series I would drop it after that episode (of course I will keep watching it). Also that was some really bad CGI for that deer. Looten Plunder posted:Yellowstone came back this week with a bang. That opening episode was insane. The first 5 or so minutes were just insane. Lets hit the ground a 100 miles an hour. Part of me still feels like I need to point out what is wrong with the show, but I have a great time watching it. It is Dallas on steroids and it does that well. The biggest negative is how stupid the streaming rights to it are. One would think that Paramount's most popular show would be on Paramount+, but of course that is a big no. I guess Peacock has a streaming rights deal for the show, but they can't stream it until like 4 months after the season finale. I ended up buying the season pass on iTunes since I don't have cable (which I guess speaks to how much I enjoy the show) .

I was trying to work out what all the fake outs were reminding me of, and it's Michael C Hall's plot from wayyy back in the Six Feet Under pilot. (Or second episode, I can't remember which). Really weird coincidence. Re: supporting cast, Clancy Brown is joining the cast this season, and he's an excellent dramatic actor. And Johnny Sequoia is no slouch either, even if she hasn't had much work since her child acting days. They're both great actors. 100% think she's the killer tho.

Open Source Idiom posted:This week's episode of Chucky (not really a spoiler) has Fiona Durrif dragged up playing her dad in a flashback and it's loving awesome. This show is awesome. I actually thought that's who that was under there, she really does favor her dad enough to get away with it, plus they dubbed in Brad Dourif's voice so I figured something was up. And yeah, not enough people talking about Chucky, but it's really a show meant specifically for longtime fans of the franchise who've seen every movie multiple times. And there's only dozens of us. DOZENS!

I dunno, I haven't seen the most recent episode yet but I do think they've done a good job making Chucky stand alone so far. Like you kinda gotta know who Chucky is and there's lots of little nods and mentions but its not bombarding you with other characters and mythos. Its a new story so far. Like I wanted to see a continuation of the crazy of the movies. But instead I've gotten a pretty good new show that stands on its own.

I mean, the most recent episode has an exposition dump for people who don't know any more than "Chucky is a possessed killer doll", so you might have a point.

I don't think anyone thinks Dexter was Great TV anymore or even before it finished airing. It had a moment when "everyone" was watching it, but even at its "peaks" there were tons of people vocally voicing how loving bad it was start to finish. I mean, I watched the show with friends around some film major roommates who couldn't even make it through the show's intro without getting so pissed off at it's shittiness perceivable through their lens. Even the people who stuck with Dexter all the way through know it as pure poo poo with a few bits of delicious corn here and there. People actively warn each other off of re-watches. The only show that once enjoyed mainstream popularity that is now a fair public target for mockery is Game of Thrones, and by percentage GoT still has more hours of "good" than Dexter.

Oh I know some people who think the first 4 season of Dexter were great. I haven't watched any Dexter since it originally aired (I did stick with it), but it was always B level entertainment to me. GoT? After everything I still consider it a really good TV show. It did something shows like Dexter never did, it was put together seasons that I would consider as a whole as great TV. Yes some lovely seasons later on and the last season was a mess, but it reached highs that a lot series never come close to. I know some people haven't moved on (the Daenerys fans especially) , but I am to the point I can look back at it fondly if I consider the show as whole. LOST was another show that became a public target for mockery after the finale, but I feel like with time that has really died down. It is because LOST was great overall and the finale really wasn't bad.

# ? Nov 10, 2021 18:08 |
I think Great TV has a good beginning, middle, and end. A bad ending can mean never wanting to ever revisit that world or show again and GoT is the worst ending to anything. That's remarkable in it's own right, but the positive memories I have of GoT at this point were how fun it was to have an "event" where we'd regularly gather at someone's house to watch a show together. Then the show got so bad it wasn't a good excuse to hang out anymore. LOST I feel like only comes up when people are annoyed at a new show for setting up a bunch of potentially interesting or baffling things that won't ever be resolved in nearly as intriguing way as you imagined. But I didn't watch LOST outside most of the first season because it was boring and sucked.

There is one gimmick thing in the finale but I think they pulled it off very well. Christmas episode was probably my least favourite but there’s still good stuff in there. I think this was probably my favourite season since 2.

I started watching the Lethal Weapon TV show, since it just showed up here on Primevideo. Eventually I noticed on IMDB that the two main characters have quite a different amount of episodes credited to them. I went to google around some. Sure seemed like a huge shitshow behind the scenes. I guess there's no need to keep watching.
