Is anyone watching War of the Worlds on Epix? We just finished season 2 last night and really enjoyed it. It's definitely not perfect and has a few plot issues, but overall pretty entertaining.

bull3964 posted:Yeah, I know it finished in Europe already. I was going to use the 0.99 prime channel deal to watch it on Epix. Definitely wait if its only for a month (if you can). I believe they're only up to episode 4 as of last night and there's 4 to go. Though that might cover you. Anyway the show has been pretty good and apparently it got renewed for a 3rd season. Season 1, especially the first two episodes was fantastic.

CBJSprague24 posted:Does anything in season 5 of The Wire involving the newsroom amount to anything other than a reboot of All The President's Men? All the interesting stuff in season 5 is outside of the cops/newsroom. You can skip it. And galvanize your hate for Herc.

Heads up everyone but the final season of Bosch dropped and this really cracked me up. In the trailer, a cop refers to the villain as the "Stringer Bell" of whatever. Bosch stars Jamie Hect (Marlow) as the partner. They immediately jump cut to Hect who goes "I don't like that at all" and I almost fell off my couch laughing. I'm so sad this generic but entertaining cop show is ending.

So White Lotus episode 1 was great. I hope we get a decent amount of episodes out of this show since it's just a limited series.

The new Chapo premium took on the Woodstock 99 documentary and it's really good, its a premium episode though. Very much enjoyed how they ripped the poo poo out of Moby and brought up one of his original quotes (which was left out of the documentary): "The rave tent where there were no rock kids was awesome. Bummer I didn't get laid though". I get a lot of people don't like them but if you can find the episode on YouTube it's a good listen. Felix is fantastic in it.

TV Zombie posted:The first episode of Black Summer season 2 is a bit manic. I think I liked season 1 so I feel like I will like this season but everything feels jarring right now. I'm not a fan of how they told the story this season but goddamn I loved the story itself. I almost bailed halfway through episode 2 and then it took off. I'm really not into zombie stuff after TWD but yeah this show rocks.

EL BROMANCE posted:I went from wife (because that’s what they want you to think), Armond because holy poo poo he’s on a path to self destruction and has history with Shane, to Molly Shannon just because it’s a curve ball. I’m loving the intrigue and suspense though for sure. My wife is convinced its going to be either the daughter or her friend.

I'll never forgive Stewart and Colbert for the Rally To Restore Sanity. Hope the new show goes well for him but I'm gonna pass. A whole lot of stuff on TDS didn't age well at all.

Cael posted:Even beyond just the quality level, when you have more streaming options not only are there just more shows but it also decreased the probability of one single network having multiple of the current "it" shows, or even ones people talk about. I was just having this conversation with friends the other day, take a look at current HBO dramas: I think their one offs have been fantastic lately. Sharp Objects and White Lotus were fantastic, and even with he Stephen King problems, I really liked The Outsider. I also really enjoyed 100 Foot Wave.

Cael posted:And even though it’s been a few years, Chernobyl. That is a good point, they do seem like they’re killing it way more with limited / event series vs full ongoing shows. Thanks for reminding me of Chernobyl, also Mrs Fletcher. Completely fine with me as its pretty rare for long running shows to ending a satisfying way. The only one I can think of is Six Feet Under, and even that show had to plod through some uninspiring seasons/storylines. My SIL audibly gasped at the end of Sharp Objects.

"You can't make a Tomlette without breaking a few Gregs" is better than any line in Mad Men. Succession is great because none of the mega rich people in it are good and they're all very easy to hate. It's a low key hilarious show.

nate fisher posted:No I don't and you make a good point. To be honest I am relying on this thread, the internet as a whole, even critics, and my own knowledge to find TV shows. I am a sucker for year end list and I read them for things I might have missed. Might I still miss a few? Sure. Euphoria I still haven't made time to watch and My Brilliant Friend I never heard of you until this thread. I tell you what I didn't missed Patriot thanks to this thread. Whoops, confused Epix and Starz.

Qmass posted:at some point in the near(ish) future there will have to be a show that gets into the top 10 or 20 all time and im just holding onto my but for that day because without one of those shows to fill that void, the endless just ok shows are becoming less palatable to me It already exists and its a comedy based around vampires.

I'm enjoying foundation and I don't even mind it taking it's time as I didn't read the books and it's doing some world building. I'm used to it from shows like the wire who always take 3-4 episodes to get moving.

duck monster posted:I'm a bit torn on this one. The Cinematography , direction, writing, and acting are all top notch. Everything on paper says this is a great show. It’s fine for me so idk? It’s not mind blowing or anything but I enjoyed the first 3 episodes, especially the last one. I liked how War of their Worlds (on Starz) did a similar thing by slowly introducing things and this is maybe one episode behind the pacing for that.

Mu Zeta posted:So does Invasion look like a $200 million show? The camera work is great, but i have a feeling if that’s how much they spent then we’ve got a ways to go before we see where it went. That being said, I really don’t care about a show’s budget as long as im enjoying it and so far its the inverse of Foundation which started great and is now pretty slow and tedious.

I think Lizzy is great, but having the other 6 is going to make it easy not to miss her. Other way around. Get rid of Lynch and get Caplan back. Gonna pass on this even if I love Marino.

Outside of a Few Good Men, Sorkin is complete and utter trash.

False posted:Invasion: What an odd show. I can't think of any other show thats spent so much money on very, very good production values in order to go nowhere and accomplish nothing. The idea is pretty cool but they do nothing with it. I’m enjoying it even if the pacing is weird. If you see the potential in it and don’t like the execution, check out the War of the Worlds remake on Starz (2019). It’s really good and Invasion feels heavily cribbed from it.

OldSenileGuy posted:Oh my god I'm three episodes into Invasion and I don't think I've ever seen a show as aggressively and totally BORING as this show. I'm probably gonna stick with it out of morbid curiosity to see how long a major tentpole show can keep up this level of UNBELIEVABLE MIND-NUMBING BORING-NESS. It's a very very slow burn but it's not as bad as Foundation. I also don't think it's a good binge show so take breaks.

Anyone who finds any kind of empathy for anyone in Succession is telling on themselves. Meanwhile people hoot and holler about how cool Axe is.
