Another trip report from Acorn network dramas: Love my Way was apparently the poo poo in mid-2000's Australian TV, at least judging by all the awards and nominations it got. It has some heavy stuff in it, and pretty much all the characters have deep flaws that make them at times super frustrating but usually interesting. The show was refreshing in that it felt like a continuous story and not episodic (ie. it wasn't every episode Character A has problem X that Character B helps them solve by the end of the episode). Anyway, maybe worth a look if you want a drama with some crazy family dynamics. It's hard to summarize what it's about so you just have to go along for the ride.

I've made it through S1 of Travelers. It's better than I expected. After the first couple of episodes I was worried it was just going to be formulaic mission of the week but it deviated from that enough to be interesting and actually gave a lot of attention to the personal problems of the crew. So far the ambiguity and uncertainty is working but I do hope we get some resolution in the next season. The acting is fine but not blowing me away -- I can't help but feel like it could have been even a little better had it been an original Netflix prestige property. I'd probably give it B/B+. We also checked out the first 2 episodes of Suits on Amazon. I'm not sure we've ever had such a whiplash reaction to a show. We watched the pilot and were like "hey this is kind of fun", but one more episode in and it already felt super formulaic.

We watched the short 4 episode S1 of Hamarinn (The Cliff) on Prime (maybe Acorn?). Scandinavian crime investigation set in Iceland, s1 was released in 2010. City cop goes home to small town to help with an investigation into a mysterious accident. What makes the show stand out is the presence of some supernatural elements. They are there mostly as flavor and not major plot drivers or central mysteries, and I think it's done pretty well. Otherwise, for me at least the show fell a tiny bit short of other scand crime series we've seen recently like Wisting or Rebecca Martinsson. For one, for a show shot in Iceland I wanted more/better landscape porn, and somehow either the camera tech was older whatever but it I wasn't as blown away as I hoped. Not that there's nothing, but I'm happy to have that "far northern landscape" dial cranked to 11. Also, for once I thought the show was too short – I wish it had another couple of episodes to better explore the small town dynamics. Would still recommend if you're into this kind of show, but I don't know that it's a must watch. We'll definitely sit down for S2 if we can figure out how.

Recent watches: Travelers I finished S2 last night. I love how this show continues to surprise. The season finale really blew up my expectations of how the show was going to go. Really enjoying the ride. And from Acorn/Amazon land. Brokenwood Mysteries. For some reason this is one of our favorite shows. It's a generally light in tone crime procedural set in a small New Zealand town. The 90 minute episodes give a lot more time to get into each story. Season 7 just dropped and as far as IMDB is telling me there is no S8 in production. There's a new cast member who works out pretty well. I'm not sure I'll give the writers full marks this season if only because some of the humor was just too on the nose, like there's been a running gag one of the cops is bad at making coffee and in past seasons you'll just see one of the characters pick up a coffee mug and sniff it and set it down, but this season they'd hit you over the head with the joke a little more obviously. Otherwise, still a great ride and I hope they keep the show going. Trapped. Nordic noire set in a small town in Iceland. Season 1 was awesome. Much better than "The Cliff" which we just watched, although they are very different shows. Really good 10 episode journey weaving together multiple crimes. We're in the middle of S2 now. Keeping Faith. Irish drama. The show starts out with a lawyer who's husband disappears, and she has to keep her life together while being a suspect in the disappearance and also learning of the double life her husband was leading. S1 was excellent if you like "plucky person surviving as the screws tighten" show, but we got a little tired of it in S2 and we've set it aside part way though s3, at least for now.

pumped up for school posted:I do like that former episode suspects (pharmacist, Frodo) pop up as recurring supporting cast - more realistic in small town. There's a lot of this in S7! quote:Other day at lunch we were trying to decide what the most dangerous TV small town must be, wrt population vs number of homicides. I'd go with the Murder She Wrote town. But maybe enough of those were in other cities.

CarlosTheDwarf posted:I'm 3 days sober from stressful TV / Movies. I'm 46, pretty much my entire life I've watched violent, suspenseful stuff. Not over the top gore stuff, but stuff like the sopranos, 24, breaking bad, Gomorrah, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Marvel movies etc etc. In recent years with streaming I watch something like that pretty much every single night. Even stuff like Halt and Catch Fire is pretty stressful, even though there isn't much violence. There's always the maker shows, like Repair Shop, British Baking Show, Nadiya Bakes, etc. We often have something like that in rotation because, yeah, we don't alway need to see something with a grizzly murder or the tension slider turned up to 11. Some of the contest shows are just gross the way they edit and manufacture stress though. A lot of them are just unwatchable for me. We just watched Life in Color, really cool stuff.

Finished Travelers today. Really nice surprise of a show, thanks for the recs for it here. Jeff the cop is usually a pretty small part of the episodes so I wouldn’t abandon the show just because of him. We also have watched a couple of other short series. Gentified: (Netflix) take on facing change in a Latinx neighborhood. Most of the characters have their charm. It’s not earth shattering but it was a fun watch. The Truth Will Out (Acorn/Prime) Swedish crime series. Pretty good but maybe not my favorite. It’s a little funnier than most shows in this genre that I’ve seen. The main character is a bit of a sad sack at first but we found it worth it to get through to the end of the season. It’s definitely not as intense/dreamy as Trapped, Wisting, Rebecca Martinson...

We watched S3 of Master of None. It's good but basically a completely different show than the first two seasons. It felt much more similar to a sad, extended High Maintenance. No Arthur and most episodes had no Dev. Almost no levity at all, and very different production level (sound wasn't great and many interior scenes were just long cuts from a stationary cam from across the room - felt like it was shot on go pros or something). The funny thing is we went to watch it and somehow Netflix started us on S1 but I didn't realize we were rewatching that and not S3. Apparently I didn't remember much of anything specific in the show. My wife was pretty sure we had seen it but I kept telling her "no, it's just they are echoing stuff we must have seen before in a past season". This made the real S3 even more jarring. Also watching Rake on Netflix. It's an Australian show about a lawyer who's pretty much failing at life but sometimes successful in defending people. The supporting cast is pretty decent. Somehow it's hitting in a good spot where the lead is funny and charismatic enough to want to watch but also enough of an rear end in a top hat not to get invested in.

We finished Rake (the Australian one, on Netflix), which has become one of favorite shows. I don't know that the last season was really necessary and I don't know that the finale couldn't have been better, but yeah, 100% recommend. The main protagonist reminds me a bit of Duchovny in Californication, although I think I like Richard Roxbrough's character even more (and the show was maybe a shade less gratuitous). There were times when Rake went too over-the-line silly but somehow it still worked for us. We also watched a couple of short series Lupin S2--(Netflix) Slick and fun, just like the first season. We liked it for a zippy popcorn show. The Frozen Dead (Glacé) (Amazon I think)-- French serial killer series. I haven't watched many (any?) French shows so I don't have much point of comparison but with the tone/production and the snowy setting it felt like a Scandinavian noire. It was ok, but partly missed the mark for us especially towards the end. Maybe the writers were expecting a second season. It just threw too much in the pot.

I actually really liked the first couple of seasons of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The writing in the later seasons got pretty bad for sure. Thanks for the Katla recs. One episode in and it’s definitely my jam. It’s made by the same people who made Trapped which we loved. Already recognizing a lot of the same actors. We also watched Wandavision, which we liked a lot. First half was better than the end. I definitely mourn for what it could have been if it weren’t a Marvel property but even the fact I’m thinking “What if David Lynch or Tim Burton had done this” means it did something right.

Qmass posted:yeah it suffered from the trend of needing to one up the previous season and losing the subtlety that added to the show (not that its subtle very often) but it was still mostly entertaining to the end. The first couple seasons were fantastic TV. Yup, we still enjoyed the last season a lot, it just came off as more of a sometimes clumsy political farce rather than the Cleaver Greene vortex of chaos from the earlier seasons. Trig Discipline posted:Yeah I really liked that one. In The Flesh is also an interesting take on the zombie genre, basically the idea is that there was a zombie outbreak but they got a vaccine and were able to turn the zombies back into people, more or less. Sorta exploring how you manage to live with neighbors who you watched eat your child or spouse last year. Does it come off as a political allegory? I sure read your description like the zombies are taking off their MAGA hats.

Keyser_Soze posted:I don't care at all about any of the dumb Avengers/Thor movies and sure as hell didn't sit through many of them, but Loki seems good to me so far as a standalone. It’s definitely watchable, but I don’t love it. Be prepared for lots of scenes of Loki and some other character going round and round in pointless conversation to pad out episode time, and tons of exposition to get us oriented to the new setting. The retro aesthetic is cool (but Maniac did it better.) I think part of my problem is that I just watched WandaVision which, while not perfect, seemed like it actually had something to say, while so far Loki seems like it’s checking off some box in the 10 year plan of Marvel spin-offs. I’m also not totally feeling the Owen Wilson character. I’m probably being over critical but there you are.

Bosch question. We watches S1 a while ago, but my recollection is when we started S2 it looked to be all about sexual violence stuff and my wife didn't want to deal with that for a whole season. Do the later seasons have a lot of that too (vs. just dudes getting murdered), and are the seasons independent enough you could skip to S3 and not be totally lost?

Finished Katla, and phew it’s got some dark scenes but I generally really liked it. I think I liked it better than Glitch. I’m sure I’d watch another season but I kind of hope they stop here. Glitch was as much about the mystery (what’s happening, who are these people), but Katla is much more about the reactions of people. Also, from AcornTV land we’ve gone through the two available seasons of Candice Renoir. It’s a French show from the 2010’s, and it’s pretty good for a mostly light police procedural. The lead character is an expat mother of 4 returning to France and leading a crime unit. She’s pretty charismatic and there’s a lot of humor as she tries to balance life, work, relationships and proving herself in a man’s world. It’s not gritty or amazing cases, but a fun watch.

We stumbled on a pretty good police procedural from a few years ago, Scott and Bailey. It's basically a Cagney and Lacey, following two female detectives in the Major Incident Unit in Manchester. It's got a fairly mellow pace which we liked, not the hyper-jittery camera/everything ends in SWAT or a car chase, and usually not the super-heavy style of like a Broadchurch either. A lot of the "work" is in interviews/interrogations but not so much as Criminal:UK. The cases can be really dark but the show isn't gratuitous.

Hate-watching Money Heist. The biggest heists are the time I will have lost by the time I get to the end of the series and the space it’s taking up in my head. The concept isn’t bad but the writing and dialogue are pretty uneven. Most of the characters aren’t interesting enough to care about their morality and not heroic enough to straight-up root for. I know it’s supposed to be winking at the audience a lot but to my eye it’s still taking itself way too seriously to be campy. And yet I’m still watching.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Just finished up Katla. In that vein, does anyone have a list of somewhat similar shows? By similar, I mean an hour long drama series that usually has some sort of big mystery and a great atmosphere that just sucks you in. Dark would be a perfect example of this. I'd also count Lost. The Gift was pretty decent too, at least season 1, but I heard it gets bad. Preferably some kind of supernatural mystery instead of a whodunnit, but I'll consider those if they are really good. Glitch is a very similar show to Katla. It’s pretty interesting to see two shows with such similar premises but that have their own distinct flavor as well. I put it down in S3 and never finished it but the first 2 seasons were good. The Cliff is a short (4 ep) Icelandic mystery with some supernatural elements although they are more peripheral and it’s mostly a standard murder investigation. If you are ok with True Detective-y moody mysteries, Trapped is by the folks who did Katla and it’s awesome. Also check out Mystery Road (Australian series). Highly recommend the OA as well, and I’m assuming you’ve watched Twin Peaks already. E: the Expanse is hard sci fi but I’d probably lump it in here too.

Mu Zeta posted:I started watching a Danish political show called Borgen. A couple recognizable faces if you've seen Game of Thrones or Westworld. You'd think a show about mundane things like passing a budget bill or funding for a new road would be dry but it's fun seeing the political maneuvering. The show ended like a 9 years ago but they just announced there will be a season 4 in 2022 with a lot of the cast returning. Borgen is one of our favorite discoveries of the past year. Such an optimistic view of politics -- I'm really curious how the writers will have tackled Trump, pandemic, continued refuge crisis, etc.

We've been watching The White Lotus on Hulu(?). It's half-way through the 6 episode season so I maybe I shouldn't mention it until after the finale airs but it's pretty well done. The setting is at a posh Hawaiian resort following some staff but mostly a few guests on vacation. It's full of flawed yet mostly believable characters in darkly funny situations. Pretty great funny slow-motion car wreck show. I can't think of a great comparison for it of the top of my head but we're enjoying it. We also just got Peacock network and checked out We Are Lady Parts. Its a generally pretty light girl-power comedy about an all-muslim female punk band, with more of a focus on their relationships within the muslim community than overcoming white islamaphobia. The original songs are actually pretty good and I kind of wish they had featured them a little more. It's a quick watch and got some laughs out of us. Kind of reminiscent of Derry Girls.

Xealot posted:And, of course, none of the rich people will suffer any consequences for it. Imma wait and see on this. We haven't seen the final episode! I mostly agree with you, but I think what makes the show so good to me is that we can empathize with the 1%ers here even if we don't sympathize. Their motivations come through as sincere and internally consistent even if, from outside their bubble, we can see the harm they knowingly or unknowingly cause the people around them. They are over the top enough to give some cringe dark comedy but they don't seem unrealistic, and you can see them do things that they think are the right thing even if it's only right given their narrow, privileged worldview. Definitely agree that the working folk are taking the brunt.

White Lotus finale: Armond is the hero we all need! My only real disappointment was Rachel getting back with Shane after almost getting free. Or maybe more specifically the reasoning they gave in the post-episode commentary. If she went back, I thought it might be because she was terrified of getting murdered by Shane, not just that she was afraid of being poor. But I guess Belinda’s non-engagement with her made the point that her problems were pretty trivial compared to many people Just noticed there’s a season 2 now listed in IMDB! Such a good show.

I thought Belinda's ending was pretty interesting too – that gift from Tanya looked like a lot of money, probably a few thousand dollars which is probably a month's salary or more for her. If she had received that from any other guest that would have been hugely meaningful for her, but the fact it was a consolation prize and Tanya was so completely tone-deaf in giving it to her completely ruined it for her. Probably she will heal from that quickly and enjoy the money but it was clearly heartbreaking at the time I'm not sure what to make of Olivia's ending I don't get the feeling she changed much but at the same time it would have been well within her rights to turn on Paula. I interpreted it as a genuine moment of compassion at the end.

I'm giving iZombie another try. My first time I bailed at the start of S3 because the Philmore Graves plot line looked like it was going to be really stupid. This round I'm almost through S3 and enjoying it a lot. So silly dumb, really leaning into the absurdity of the victim personalities. It definitely has network TV bloat but at least it's funny bloat.

We blew through the Chair just now (Sandra Oh vehicle that just dropped on Netflix). Opinions were split in our house. I liked it more than my wife. Just know that it’s not as funny as the trailer depicts and it’s not some girl power ftw / youth overcomes either. It’s a cringy takedown of academia. It’s got funny bits throughout but a lot of it has a depressing edge.

kneelbeforezog posted:What do you all think about The Chair and its portrayal of woke students fighting against white supremacy but being misguided? Is it anti wokeness? And what would English professors who teacher Chaucer, like in the netflix show, think of Dan Simmon's rendition of the Canterbury Tales? Yeah the Chair was kind of a tough watch, and tougher given how the trailers pitched the show. Regarding the woke students in particular, from what I remember we saw them in basically two arenas. We saw them with petitions/letter writing campaigns and those seemed pretty reasonable but also kind of sad because you could tell even if they got faculty support it wasn't going to make any difference. The protest scenes were a little harder for me since we saw what actually happened in the classroom and we knew the prof was just an arrogant prick. With that audience viewpoint, the protests seemed like they were overreacting and maybe intentionally misinterpreting the profs explanations. And yet, this is the only arena that resulted in any change. I guess we saw some "woke students" in the classroom too but for me that mainly showed the gulf between the fossilized senior faculty and current students. I'll spoiler this I guess The whole show was a horribly sad indictment of liberal academia (and I'm a recovering academic so I'm generally pretty sympathetic to higher ed). No real systematic changes seemed to occur. The old farts are still in charge and the dean who's pulling the strings faces no consequences. The main character makes a good faith effort to change the department and pays a heavy price for sticking her neck out without making any real changes that we could see. The young poc faculty member is completely devalued (my wife and I were split as to whether she was going to remain in the department- I know we see her in a little more position of power in the shared classroom but also in the time frame she could be fulfilling the remainder of her commitment before she left). The message for the two main characters seemed to be that academic life is toxic to your personal life, which, while broadly true for a lot fo people, is not a real hopeful message in what's supposed to be a comedy.

We're juggling several different shows now, but I'll make a quick report for a couple from Acorn TV land. Acceptable Risk is a limited series from 2017. It's basically a cross between the first season of Keeping Faith 'widow picks up the pieces of her husband's secret life' and a John Grisham 'big corporation dirty laundry' story. I liked it, although somehow the cast chemistry wasn't the best for me, or maybe it was the wrong length (either needed to be shorter or longer, not sure which). The main character spends most of the series pissed off, which while probably realistic, isn't always the most fun thing to watch. Season 2 of My Life is Murder also just started releasing, so there are a couple of episodes out now. They've cranked the sarcasm up on Alexa (Lucy Lawless's character), which is saying something. I actually forgot what happened at the end of S1 but it's now set in NZ. The sidekick Madison somehow is there too, so it keeps the same structure of Alexa bantering with Madison, her (new) cop contact, and the (new) cafe owner who buys her bread.

Jumping on the Brand New Cherry Flavor bandwagon. Somehow this show just hit the perfect tone for me where it's weird and moody enough to be interesting but also fun enough not to get in it's own way. I also love how all this crazy poo poo is happening and nobody bats an eye because it's LA and everyone is doing skeezy stuff and taking all sorts of drugs. I also finished off a show I'd started earlier in the summer, Shadow and Bone. I had pretty low expectations going in and it did exceed those. The mix of borderline steampunk and soviet block aesthetics was pretty different. Definitely far from perfect but I guess I'll watch season 2.

Trig Discipline posted:Yeah it was okay. Reasonably well done but it's very much rooted in the standard YA worldbuilding vein for the first season. I feel like I've come to recognize those beats so instinctively that they hardly leave an impression on my memory any more. Could become something more interesting with time though. The characters don't stray too far from their archetypes to be sure. I thought the political world was a little more complex for that type of story, not just pick one: Oppressive Regime or Ancient Evil. So basically what I'm saying is if you leave aside the characters and plot, it's not terrible lol.

My wife and I watched On the Verge on Netflix (mainly because of July Delpy who we like after the Before Sunrise trilogy). It's 12 quick episodes about the lives of four flawed middle-aged moms living in LA dealing with their 21st century kids and the flawed men in their lives. I didn't exactly hate it but I didn't love it either. It's hard to figure out what it was going for which makes it tough to tell exactly what went right or wrong. It's got funny bits but the characters are not really likable or necessarily super-interesting.

We watched the finale of Nine Perfect Strangers. It was a little disappointing. Maybe I'm a horrible person but I didn't buy the happy ending and after teasing disaster all season I wanted to see the catastrophe dammit! (I know what we saw at the very end was mostly likely Frances' book ending and not necessarily the "true" ending but it's all we were given for resolution). The reveal that Carmel was the shooter really didn't do much for me. . I'll need to think about it some more but my first impression is that the show was way too long for the payoff, and that if it was shorter it would not have had enough mystery to carry it, so it was maybe not a great show? I also somehow found myself watching Resident Alien on Peacock. I almost didn't watch past the first episode and actually finished the whole season. How does this show have a 90+ Rotten Tomatoes rating? It's really dumb, but somehow goes past bad/unwatchable and circles back to uh, something. The alien inner monolog was funny but his actually talking to people was just so cringy.

Just finished Sex Education on Netflix. I didn't love it at first -- my first impression I thought it was mostly just banking on dumb gratuitous shock value -- but I ended up liking it. It's not perfect, but it ends up having a lot of really funny moments and also a lot of sweet interactions. Definitely a Representation Plus show, but it (mostly) didn't feel cheap or exploitative to me. For a teen show the music was often from older generations which felt a little weird. Now I just signed up for Apple TV and on to Ted Lasso! BigBallChunkyTime posted:I need a new series to binge. I just got caught up on Only Murders in the Building and I'd love another show like that mix of mystery/drama/humor? Nothing too heavy that doesn't have lighter moments. Any suggestions. These are movies, but Blow the Man Down and Knives Out are on Prime. Dead to Me (Netflix) has it's dark moments and a lot of Christina Applegate and Linda Cardinelli crying but has a lot of absurdity too.
