I just learned that Stephen Merchant not only has a new show, but he has a new show with Christopher Walken in it. It’s called The Outlaws and is on BBC One in the UK, where the first two episodes are on iPlayer, and Prime in the US, where the first episode might be up now I’m not sure quote:The story follows seven strangers from different walks of life forced together to complete a Community Payback sentence in Bristol. However, their luck changes when they discover a bag full of money, unaware that some dangerous people are looking for it.

Any recommendations for casually watchable detective stories on Netflix or Disney Plus? Longform or procedural episodic, don't really care. Just don't want it to be utter trash (CSI: Whatever) or too much hard work (one of those really quiet danish dramas in the woods).

VagueRant posted:Any recommendations for casually watchable detective stories on Netflix or Disney Plus? Is "mystery" fine as opposed to purely detective? I'm a fan of Netflix's Harlan Coben adaptations. The most recent one is literally danish in the woods I think and I haven't watched it because as you said it's too much hard work, but the other ones were fun. The Five and The Stranger are each standalone mystery miniseries, and I think there's another one

For procedurals (which are a background comfort food for me), I've found Hulu and HBOMax better, for what it's worth. Just figured I'd offer up some "close but not quite"s you're unlikely to hear from others.

Shageletic posted:Why was Punisher miserable to shoot? Mostly the hours and script needs wrt day and night scenes. The first season was a lot of exterior night waterfront/rooftop/abandoned warehouse, just inhospitable locations in bad weather. The second season was all of that plus “Georgia” woods, so schlepping upstate in rush hour traffic to go shoot til the sun came up. All of the departments were pretty hamstrung budget and personnel-wise and I remember the assistant directors being really shouty. Also, the episodes weren’t block shot, so you’d have to shoot all of your scenes within 9 or 10 days, all but guaranteeing a 7am crew call on Monday and a 5pm crew call by Friday. This was a big negotiation point for IATSE. When you’re scheduled like that and shooting upstate all the time, you’d frequently get home at 9 or 10am on Saturday. You’ve also built up a huge sleep deficit, so it was very easy to wake up in the middle of the night on Saturday and then try to get back to sleep by 8 or 9pm on Sunday to wake up at 4 or 5am on Monday. You don’t get to see friends or family on that schedule. The schedule was also pretty tight for how long episodes were and how much action they contained, so days were never below 12.5 hours. Network jobs shoot 8 or 9 days per episode, but those are only 42 minutes and usually have much more dialog-heavy stage days. Also, Netflix Marvel jobs were scheduled for 5ish months and crews would flip flop between either Punisher and Luke Cage, Daredevil/Iron Fist, or Jessica Jones/Defenders. There would be a couple weeks between jobs (depending on how much you needed to prep) and two weeks at the winter holidays and that was your life for years.

Did the crews have access to Wild Turkey and was that an official promotion? I thought "the drink of choice for dangerous lone gunmen" was an odd take but there was a new Russell at the helm and Hunter S Thompson had fallen into relative obscurity so his cache had been basically spent so a new approach made sense. Mass shootings weren't the phenomenon they are now and most of America was still insane from 9/11 so going with a powerful image makes some sense. I always wondered about that, so I figured I'd ask.

Hmmmm, I can’t remember what the clearances were like for that. While we didn’t have Wild Turkey at crafty, those were the only jobs I worked on where they dumped Red Bulls in the coolers. Everyone was tweaking out of their minds.

And if you do, please watch Elementary which is exactly what you want and fantastic. Also, it’s HBO but Nancy drew is fantastic and I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about it here. I’m halfway through season 1 and loving it. It’s not like amazing, but fun ghost/mystery show.

Are they going to keep the timeline as it is in the original Cowboy Bebop series? It's not like they have other authoritative source material to draw from. On the other hand it's not like the series is going for a realistic portrayal in the first place but the thing taking place in the 2070's feels weird in 2021. Also the Hyperspace Gate? disaster thing apparently took place in 2022.  I feel old.

I need some help. There's a joke I remember that I'm like 70% sure is from a TV show, but might be from a podcast or a movie or a tweet. I can't remember the exact wording, but basically two cops are discussing a case and one says "We need to see the autopsy results. Let's head to the morgue" and the other cop says "I hate going to the morgue. Every time we go there the coroner is eating a sandwich next to a dead body to show how blase he is about death"

I started watching Cheers this week, and I get why it was so big; it's a very comfy show with funny actors. Coming from The Good Place, it's weird seeing Sam's actor be like, young though. He looks so good and natural in his old age that it legitimately threw me off.

It's funny how he made over 100 episodes of some other comedy called Becker and nobody cares about that one at all. All that time spent filming and learning lines for what.

Like dude has never not been working, and still gets high profile things all the time. There is never a situation where it's bad to have "Lead on a sitcom for 6 years" on your resume unless it makes you miserable. Doesn't matter if it's forget, you can make bank on "I got asses in chairs for more than half a decade multiple times".

I'm watching Cheers for the first time ever too. Woody Harrelson is fantastic when he comes along, I heard he was in the show but I presumed he would just look like modern Woody Harrelson, it's wild to see him play so hilarious. Frasier is great as well as a rough version of himself than in the spinoff. I know it was fairly progressive for the time, but there's lots of dated stuff. Theres an episode based around two gay people being in the bar and the regulars split over if they should be allowed to stay or not. There's also a lot of weird jokes about Sam or Fraiser wanting to kill Diane like nearly every episode.

It’s me. I’m the guy who’s still watching The Blacklist, 9 seasons in. Major character spoiler: Elizabeth Keen was very much shot dead at the end of last season, and as such, being dead and all, won’t be returning to the show. Half the conceit of the show is now gone, though Spader as Reddington is basically all anyone should need to keep watching.

To say nothing about how they managed to write themselves into a corner with the whole "James Spader is not the real Raymond Reddington" revelation. The creator clearly wanted to reveal that Spader is actually Keen's mother having undergone plastic and gender reassignment surgery and Keen's death scene seems to all but directly say it but I'm guessing that proved a bridge too far for NBC (unlike stuff like that Human Centipede-eque abortion episode) and now that said creator left the show, they will probably just drop it.

I feel like in season 1 or 2 they definitely tested Red's DNA against Keen's dad and said it was not a match, I would hope the FBI was also competent enough to notice a lack of XY chromosomes at the same time but I guess they have probably retconned enough of that show already. Edit: lol nevermind I just googled this and found the like half dozen different times they mentioned DNA tests on the show and now I can't tell whether they ever actually did with James Spader's character Sirotan fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Oct 29, 2021 |

I think it was also a kind of proto-Twitch service: if you didn’t have the time or energy to go to a bar and be social, you could always turn on Cheers and get a surrogate experience.
