I liked this premiere a lot, but lost interest sort of during Jason's bit and some of the end. Not sure if that's the show itself or my exhaustion from bronchitis tbf. Very much looking forward to the rest of the season tho!

Shawn is indeed terrible. Shaun, however, is just fine!

Strom Cuzewon posted:I really hope they don't lean into the love triangle stuff with Chidi - Eleanor and Simone were adorable together in the MRI both, and it's really nice just to see people being friends without any baggage 100% more invested in Chidi and Simone than I was Eleanor and Chidi after one episode lol, they just go so well together. I hope it doesn't go love triangle-y and they go another route if/when Eleanor and Chidi hook up again. But now she's free to bed Tahani clearly !!! Though with Chidi's indecision issues a love triangle is kind of perfect for him tbh.

Aerox posted:I expected the reverse -- that as an act of charity she'd invite Eleanor out of the motel so that she could be "good" but still not actually give anything up. Either option could still happen, assuming we're sticking around in Australia for a while and they don't whisk us off to the next thing this week lol

Clearly Trevor and Eleanor need to hook up as a Party Down reference.

Josie and the Pussycats is a sorely underrated movie imho that way too many people took at face value when it came out. Dare I say it was before its time ????

Edmund Lava posted:I wouldn’t. That movie was the perfect time capsule of pre-911 early aughts. Yeah true, it's too attached to that time period in general to actually be before its time. But the tone it took was one I think people might be more open to now, if that makes sense? It's such a loving fun, good film. It's not perfect but it's hilarious and does its job well imo.

It was killed by the writer's strike, just like Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles was (another great show that should've been around much longer) T:SCC was killed by Dollhouse (tho they were both in danger due to ratings/strike). FOX was only going to renew one half of that double feature and went with Whedon. As much as I really do enjoy S2 of Dollhouse I'm still butthurt over that. e: also yeah iirc PD had great ratings before the strike

Strom Cuzewon posted:Also the first half of SCC season 2 was glacial as gently caress, I don't blame them for cancelling it before it suddenly became awesome again. The first bit was good. The middle chunk was that big Sarah like three parter that unfortunately went nowhere and ground the season to a halt til she stopped her wild goose chase.

I care so, so little about the Chidi and Eleanor romance so this finale fell pretty flat for me. It really does feel mostly like setup for next season, which is fine imo if they run with this concept for more than a couple episodes. Love how fast the show burns thru plot but I am getting tired of them changing the premise every other episode. Eleanor and Michael running fake Good Place is too good an idea to speed past!

The Eleanor comparison doesn't really sit for me, either, other than the two characters being self destructive shitbags, which isn't exactly a trait original to those two. Maybe if Eleanor wasn't a network TV character I could see her being a much darker character like Nadia is in Russian Doll, but they're not really all that alike to me beyond the surface stuff. Alan doesn't give me Chidi at all. That said everyone should watch Russian Doll, even if I wouldn't personally recommend it by comparing it to The Good Place.

The season is only four hours, so it moves fairly quick. If it doesn't grab you by episode 2 or 3, then it might not be for you. I'd give it those couple more episodes.

I've been p bored of Jason for nearly two seasons now, yeah. He's still very funny but the schtick wears thin when he barely grows as a character otherwise.

Squidster posted:The issue isn't that people dislike the archetype of the dumb sweet friend, it's that the character reached the end of his arc in season 1. His punchlines might vary a little, but there's no uncertainty with him, no chance of growth. Chidi and Eleanor are simply defined by their core struggles of Indecision and Selfishness, but they're both trying to overcome their nature. What's Jason working to overcome? Yeah, this. I don't dislike Jason or think he has zero depth, nor do I not understand the gags. I'm just mostly over the schtick because it's been three seasons and he has very little growth compared to, say, Tahani. Which is fine because Jason is in a good place as a person to not have much personal growth to do other than how dumb as a rock he is-- he's already a good person who seems to have always meant well, but always goofed it up. But that doesn't mean I can't be kinda bored by it lately.

I feel like Chidi was way more uptight in season 1 and 2 personally, but yeah he hasn't had much more growth than Jason. Chidi is also not one of my favourites along w Jason tbh. Tho they are both still great! Like I'm mostly splitting hairs when I complain about this show, b/c even the stuff I am not as hype on any more is still quality.
