Umbrella Chronicles was good, surprised y'all are so down on it. Biggest problem was it took a long time to establish the characters, I'm expecting season 2 to be better paced.Chokes McGee posted:Plot summary: abused depressed girl stops taking meds, causes world to end The show at least makes it real obvious there are several points where everything could have been solved by the family just being nicer to Vanya

I especially liked "the day that wasn't", seeing how people could resolve certain conflicts if events went down just so, but then going back and altering the timeline so a single variable gets changed by 5 causes all of those scenes to be lost. Like you said, there's nothing stopping them except their hangups, which are entirely believable given the backstory we know for each of them.

babypolis posted:they just looked like random rear end ppl with guns to me. main problem was the show seemed like it could not decide if it was goofy or super serious and as such the tone was all over the place. but the boring rear end villains was the last straw for me Did you finish the season? They're not really the villains. That's also an extremely reductive way at looking at characters and story. The "villain" was the family not being able to get along. They hosed that up and now are going back in time to fix it. Its got good themes. Real good themes. The tone I thought was pretty consistent; yes you have some funny stuff as comedic relief to break up the tension. That's good? Its not high art but I thought it was well done compared to most poo poo on TV. My only issue was the pacing, it took a few episodes before we knew enough about the characters to really have fun with them. Looking forward to S2 as a result.

Tiggum posted:Every American show, whether on conventional television or streaming, is too long. They always have to drag the story out or burn through episodes too quickly. This is not a new phenomenon, it has always been the case. People are only now starting to realise it. I heard a breakdown years ago that said Western stories tend to focus on characters and so want to follow them for their whole life or until "happily ever after", while Eastern stories tend to be more based on events and so are more naturally prone to end as soon as the plot is finished.
