The original Fargo lost the Best Picture academy award to The English Patient, which is a pretty good illustration of how any award or consensus among critics is meaningless garbage.

A year ago I was looking forward to season 2 of both Fargo and True Detective equally. Now I'm looking forward to season 3 of both Fargo and True Detective, but for completely opposite reasons.

Toxxupation posted:I just need to point out that season 2 was a response to the critical backlash of season one. that's how pizzolatto reacts to criticism. that's the tv he makes when he tries to address complaints. How so? I could maybe see the lack of cosmic horror stuff as a response to crazy internet theorycrafting but almost everything else feels a lot more like sophomore slump combined with Nic Pizzolatto losing most of his collaborators from season 1 and doing everything himself.

Sherlock: The Abominable Bride is going to be streaming on PBS' site tonight at 9PM EST. I know a lot of people (including myself) wee burned by season 3 but a stand-alone 1890s episode still sounds like a fun time.

I never got into Elementary because Sherlock for all its faults had a rad pilot and puts out three episodes every year or two instead of having 20 hours to slog through every year with a mediocre pilot and the promise that at one point it gets better.

raditts posted:Cowboy Bebop's basic premise is about bounty hunting, and bounty hunting is tied pretty closely to westerns in popular culture, since most of the better / more popular westerns were centered around bounty hunting. Also a lot of it is set on desert planets with obvious western designs, there are native americans, and there's even a fight on a train at one point.

Steve2911 posted:So Neil Patrick Harris is going to be playing Count Olaf in the Unfortunate Events series. I can kind of dig it, in the books he was this theatrical but menacing figure who was always mincing around in unconvincing disguises that still managed to fool everyone but the Baudelaire orphans because adults are terrible and the world is unfair. NPH could have a lot of fun with that role.

whowhatwhere posted:Ah, I suppose I make a distinction between Elliot & co. and the show. Elliot and everyone else are crazy loving smug anti-establishment, but the show as a whole isn't smug. But I guess that wouldn't be helpful to someone just getting into it. Yeah, Elliot is totally doing the whole Tyler Durden "eff society maaaan, you are your khakis" bit but the show makes it pretty clear from episode one that he is a mentally ill drug addict and that his worldview isn't endorsed by the show but instead the result of a severely broken individual.

Yeah, the latter half just has everybody acting stupider in the name of keeping the show going and then the end is an wet fart that doesn't really resolve anything. And Tennant goes to poo poo too because they overexplain and overexpose his character so he loses all his menace even as he's supposed to be getting more powerful.

For the uninitiated, that episode's gimmick is that it's shot entirely from the interior of their car as they tool around a small town hunting a monster. It's done really well.
