Amazon's more book accurate Jack Reacher series. Alan Ritchson is big but it kind of feels like they're goosing his height a little in some of these shots.

Not book accurate enough!

My friend on Facebook literally shared a “therapist reacts to Jinx video” like dude her emotions are far from complex. it is an extremely obvious arc. I don’t need a therapist to explain that to me

lmao i looked this up out of curiosity and I busted out laughing when seeing the therapist. Yeah, can't judge a professional by their cover but she is dressed like a goth techno DJ while explaining to people that this character is sad because of the way their life is sad and they got neglected or whatever. Wow! Brilliant insight, I'm sure anyone anywhere ever needed to look this up lol

Man, Fffuuuck I know what you did last summer The ending reveal and how the killer got away with it in the end credits soured me. Such awful people on the show.

Haven't watched the show, barely remember the original movie. I did watch this final episode and ugh, just ugh. Is this a satisfying ending in any way if you watched the rest, is it thematically how it's supposed to go? Also was the blonde girl a twin or multiple personalities, what was up w her mom and yeah the killer explaining how they did it in the end is really... idk what to call it.

The girl is a twin. The mom was part of a red herring plot that isn’t fully fleshed out in my opinion and she appeared I think halfway through the season. All of the characters are unlikeable except for maybe the first two deaths. I know that real life is messy but the decision at the end made me mad. There may have been a reason given in the final narration but I was too mad to think straight.

So no, I don’t think the ending was satisfying in any way.

What are you looking at?
I didn't see a thread for the Conners but I've given up. We didn't watch the first season when it was the revived Roseanne, but curiosity got the best of us after she was fired. It was enjoyable for a couple seasons, but at this point it's just non-stop misery and Darlene is the worst person in the world and nothing good ever happens and even the kids are hosed. Not to mention all the stunt casting like Matthew Broderick and Jason Alexander and Patton Oswalt and on and on. At least the original Roseanne had some standalone episodes that were fun and funny. They don't even do proper Halloween and Thanksgiving episodes anymore, and those were consistently some of the best.

Darlene is so terrible but because Sara Gilbert is a big producer she’ll be the de facto hero of the show forever

I mean, I always appreciated Roseanne and then the Conners being more realistic about what a family in that situation would have to endure. But at this point, what are we supposed to be laughing at? Haha, the pandemic is still ongoing. Haha, Darlene is a worse mother than Roseanne and treats everyone like poo poo. Haha, Becky is an alcoholic failure. Haha, trans people have it rough. Haha, Jackie is an eternal victim but also wacky. Haha, John Goodman isn't even trying anymore. Etc, etc.

The series is clearly designed to be accessible to people not familiar, but a LOT of poo poo that happens in the subsequent sequels comes up in the series. Its a direct continuation and the Chucky series has a ton of stuff from those movies. So you could definitely enjoy the series without watching the movies but you definitely need the movies to fully appreciate the series.

Also odds are if you like the series you'd like at least some of those movies. Its a bit like skipping a season of a show.

My personal opinion of the Chucky series is that the 3rd film is the low point and its where a lot of people drop off. That's when the original premise gets redundant and dull. But what makes the franchise work is from that point on its constantly trying to change up what it is and keep things fresh. Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky, Cult of Chucky, and the Chucky series are simultaneously all unique from each other but also clear continuations of each other. So even if you don't like a movie the next one could work for you and all of it actually matters and doesn't feel like your typical waste of time horror sequel.

I honestly didn't have much familiarity with the movies (at least not in a long long time) and I really loved the show. I'm sure you'll get more out of knowing all the craziness, but it stands on its own.

I'll probably go back and watch all the movies and then rewatch season 1 before season 2 comes out.

I just finished the season myself, and while it was very good I don't love that aside from the baby being born the story is basically right back where it was at the end of the premiere, with very little progression on any level.

I've seen the name "Rand al thor" all over the internet over the years so I know he must be an important character but man in the show he's an absolute bland nothing. Male version of the girl from Twilight.

It's because so far they've removed everything related to his story from the show.

If Friends were rebooted for the modern times, I assume Chandler would work for Google, Rachel would be a Starbucks barista, Joey would be a wannabe Youtuber/Twitch streamer, Phoebe would be into QANON, Monica would have a taco truck and Ross would probably still be a paleontologist right?

Yeah, Phoebe strikes me more as the Youtuber and Joey would still just be a struggling actor because they still exist in exactly the same way. He'd just also have Instagram.
