Anyone else watching Shadow and Bone on Netflix? I had never heard of it before, but it looks promising so far. A bit fantasy steampunky.

I don't know if this means we're getting Alan Tudyk back but they just announced that they cast a bunch of the Sisterhood* of Dada for Doom Patrol season 3. *in the original comic it was called the Brotherhood of Dada and was lead by Mr Nobody

Oh, new Time For My Stories is out, on Game of Thrones even. It's good! Felix and Matt from Chapo Trap House talkin' Gambos.Sinteres posted:I just binge watched the entirety of Justified over the last couple weeks, and I really enjoyed it for the first couple seasons, but feel like it never hit those heights again. I know thinking 2 is the peak is conventional wisdom (as is thinking 5 is the worst), but one reason I think I liked 1 more than the rest is because having more episodic stuff actually seemed like a positive for this show, which is an opinion I pretty much never have. The season long plots just felt kind of stretched/exhausting to me, and led to Boyd in particular being overused/overexposed (despite how good Walton Goggins is) which hurt season 6 a lot imo, where this often desperate/pathetic small town crook who's kind of failed upwards (if that) for a while is public enemy #1 instead of the seemingly more dangerous Markham. It just feels really artificial how the final season switch was flipped and suddenly poo poo everyone ignored about Boyd for years really mattered to everyone, but also Boyd never really being in the driver's seat for long (or a threat to Raylan at all really) in the season where he was the big bad felt weird.. I feel bad for the actors who played Tim and Rachel, since on most shows they would have seen more screen time as the seasons went on, but between Raylan, Boyd and whatever seasonal villains were around, they (especially Rachel) were barely even characters. For me, it was seasons 3+4 that were my height. Not only because the Quarles and Limehouse stuff in S3 was loving amazing in every way (and the heavy promotion of one Wynn Duffy), but season 4's entire feel had things down. Tim had something to do, even! I totally agree that Tim was underutilized for the series overall, but his entire relationship with Ron Eldard's Colt was great in that season, between knowing one another on first sight and having an amiable respect for the circumstances of each other, but being on the opposite sides of the law, to Tim snagging his glasses after offing him as a trophy of sorts, it was very well-crafted for such a downplayed character. S5 was just a step down from that, and S6 felt like it was back on its game after that hiccup, which is why S5 tends to stand out in a lotta minds as being the worst, even though it's not necessarily terrible or anything.

The creative team behind Youtube's Wayne show is going to be doing the John Wick spinoff tv show. It's a weird format though because the first season is 3x90 minute episodes. https://collider.com/john-wick-the-continental-tv-show-lead-character/

But yeah, season 4 is great and Decoy is easily up there for best episodes of the entire show.

I'm kind of surprised this is still happening because IIRC they announced it around the second movie and then that was about it for news.

I do think 3 and 4 were a big step up over 5 and 6, and if I ranked the seasons on a different day I could see myself shuffling up the order of the first four seasons pretty drastically. Quarles was probably the most menacing character in the series, and season 4 ending with Raylan basically breaking bad worse than at any other point in the series (except for maybe the first scene in the pilot) by participating in a mafia executionwas pretty hardcore. I might have ranked 3 up with 1 and 2 to start with, but that's the season I watched entirely in one night after work when I couldn't sleep, so through no fault of its own it ended up being a little less memorable than the others since my brain was mush by the end. You're absolutely right about season 4 being the peak of giving one of the marginal characters from the main cast something to do, and that was cool. Boyd getting that dumbass preacher guy to kill himself with the snake was a highlight for me too. The Drew Thompson twist was also excellent. What probably cost that season the most in my evaluation immediately after finishing the series was that it set a lot of stuff I didn't like about the next couple seasons into motion.

finished Brockmire. thoughts on seasons 2-4 since I watched all of them in one sitting: the jk simmons stuff somehow ended up being probably the best serious moments in the series weird gimmick in season 4 but it worked ok. also was there some kind of light filter on the whole time or was my tv broken? if it was intentional Because Of The Gimmick well i did not like it seasons 3 and 4 needed more Charles

Wife and I just finished the first episode and we liked it. They did the same storytelling trick from The Witcher of having two separate plot threads in an episode taking place in different times, that was a fun "A-ha" moment when they revealed it.

Let's Be Real is the brainchild of Robert Smigel and Jimmy Kimmel, so there's maybe an outside shot of it being funny?

Smigel is only funny with Triumph and everything else sucks

I just finished the first ep and it's a fun fantasy show. Feels really Netflixy/CWy - everyone's really hot and the dialogue is kind of corny, but the production and sets are great. I think it's based on a set of YA fantasy novels, so I'm tempering my expectations plot wise, but it scratches all the fantasy trope itches.
