RBA Starblade posted:My wife really liked Sherlock until she rewatched it (it was my first time looking at it). It's pretty bad but I got a good laugh out of Sherlock's master genius solution to the one bad guy also having a "mind palace" being to just shoot him in the face. That was the highlight of the show, let's be honest

The Lord Bude posted:So am I the only goon still watching Shameless? There hasn't been a thread this year. Nope! I'm still watching. This season is perfectly fine, but kind of unremarkable. Seems to have picked up in the last couple of episodes (haven't seen the latest yet). I like that not everything is not super poo poo for everyone at the moment. I hope this is the last season too. I really want this to be the end for each character: -Karl joins West Point and becomes a super soldier -Fiona gets burned and gets bought down a couple of pegs. I don't want her destitute but i'd like her to not be a know-it-all that forgets her roots. -Lip stays sober -Ian takes medication -Debbie becomes responsible, listens to sound advice people give her and finds he niche -Frank dies -Liam gets adopted by a rich, kind family and goes on to live a successful life. -Kev and V keep doing what they doing but manage to get some sleep.

Anyone watching A Discovery of Witches? It's loving gorgeous, the sets, the locations, obviously most of the cast. The story i could give a gently caress about at this point, i just wanna see some magic.

AV Club review of the full first season of Sabrina (B+) They also gave Charmed an A-, seems like it's a good year for rebooted witch shows.

Oh good, now that people are actually talking about Charmed I guess I can repost what I wrote a few pages ago:Argue posted:The trailers weren't doing anything for me, but the Charmed reboot was pretty okay, coming from someone who wasn't the biggest fan of the original. The showrunner is Jennie Snyder Urman, who runs Jane the Virgin, so she's earned herself a lot of goodwill and trust from me towards this show.

The villain of the week turns out to be the professor who was reinstated after being cleared of sexual harassment charges, and who also turns out to be a demon that gains power by taking the strength of women. An rear end in a top hat mortal who was defending said professor earlier is witness to his defeat, and the sisters tell their whitelighter not to wipe his memory, turning his words against him "who's going to believe him? It's a he-said-she-said situation". It's silly but I think it's fine; I think there are probably people who need things spelled out for them, and Jane the Virgin's never shied away from this kind of thing either and it's great. Edit: also I mentioned earlier I really hate memory wipes so I really hope the sisters continue to disallow their whitelighter from casting his gaslighting magic on mortal witnesses.

Given that Charmed aired just after an episode of Supergirl where a human-passing alien refused to believe alien hatred existed because she hadn't seen it, sounds about par for the course. These shows are not subtle.

Yeah, I feel like the only CW shows that don't lean hard into social issues are iZombie (which inherently is about discrimination at this point anyway lmbo), The 100, and Riverdale, which has had its attempts at tackling social issues and some of those early episodes ended up being p bad so they just went all in on making the show ridiculous all the time instead. I guess stuff like Supernatural and whatever remains of Vampire Diaries and its spinoffs maybe don't lean into them but idk I never watched 'em. e: also it's cool if new Charmed is good but I'll prob never watch it, myself. I never cared much for the concept of the show, for me it was just a vehicle for Alyssa Milano's hair and outfits and some ridiculous camp. It's definitely a show that was so bad there's basically nowhere to go but up in remaking it lol

The Originals didn't beat you over the head with it, but there were quite a few gay characters. The least subtle they were about it was when a vampire had a relationship with a werewolf. People on the show had issues with the two species being together, the fact that they were both guys wasn't even mentioned.

I'm not sure I would personally count gay characters as a social issue CW really 'tackles' any more. They've been a fairly progressive channel for LGBT representation for a long while now. In fact, it's weird when a CW show doesn't have a gay character or three. Which I'm suddenly realizing iZombie hasn't ever really had one. Weird.

Riverdale is a strange unicorn. Somehow the most CW show and least CW show ever, all rolled into one. I really love how much it just takes the piss out of CW's trashy teen drama staples.

I think I made it almost three-quarters of the way through but man they seemingly lost all sense of what made it interesting I agree that season 2 was weaker, but I think it was less the content and more the length. They really had to stretch some poo poo out and I think the show suffered for that. There was still ridiculous poo poo being thrown at the wall every week, but the overarching plots dragged. It should have remained a short season show ala iZombie and The 100, imo, but it's far too popular for CW to get away with that. Also the musical episode was loving terrible and stopped me from watching the rest of the season 'til after it ended lmao. The plot of the episode was good but I could barely get through actually watching it. That ending of it tho.

Milano's ever changing hair and fashion was definitely a selling point of the show, from what I remember, she was def a bit of a style icon for girls at the time.

Charmed was really hurt by running at exactly the same time as Buffy which did women with supernatural powers so much better it highlighted how ridiculous everything in Charmed was

I don't know if I would say Charmed was necessarily hurt by that, it ran longer than Buffy did and was ridiculously popular despite not being a very good tv show. e: tho if you mean content wise yeah lmbo buffy certainly ran circles around it. but i don't think many people were looking to charmed for good writing tbf. i certainly wasn't.
