Wow the season finale of 1923 is an hour and 51 minutes long. The other episodes of the season have been 50 something. What even is a tv show anymore? What is a movie?

I somehow watched both of these things Saturday night and the flood of Limp Biskit in my life was shocking in a way only a grandma in a rap rock video understands. Fred Durst not being a cameo but a major factor in third act of Y2K is wild.

White Lotus stuck the landing imho It's cool that despite Zaslav actively trying to destroy it HBO still consistently manages to have excellent shows that are both the fixation of every prestige TV watcher and also get less viewers than a rerun of Young Sheldon

I think S3 of White Lotus is the best overall but felt like the finale fell a bit flat for me.

I didn't really get "the point" of some of the subplots in The White Lotus in this season. Like okay, it's all fictional, so you could say that there's no real point in watching any particular televised story, but a lot of the arcs took a really long time just to have the characters not move very much Jason Isaacs spends the whole season agonizing about what to do about his criminal fraud case or whatever, and he finally lands on "murdering your entire family is wrong." I thought that they were going to have his son die from the poisonous seeds, which would be pretty brutal but it would've given his dad some consequences, but then he's okay and the whole murder-suicide angle winds up being a bit of a shaggy dog. The whole plot with Carrie Coons and the rest of the women was kind of flat as well. There's kind of something there about how women shouldn't tear each other down and gossip and stuff, but then it's just resolved because Carrie Coons gets laid and they talk about their feelings? I really didn't give a poo poo about Michelle Monaghan boning some Russian guy so it was hard to care about any of this plot because the central conflict was pointless. Apparently there was originally more of the liberals-vs-conservatives angle to this subplot but they cut some of it out after the 2024 election Best part was Walton Goggins releasing those snakes

Yeah the finale was a pretty bad. Only Goggins and Natasha rothwells characters had a real ending it felt like.

I haven’t watched the newest ep but I like the studio so far. Not what I expected (I didn’t expect the main character to be such an irredeemable shithead)

Catching up on severance. I assume there’s a standalone thread but… eh. I like season two, it’s actually unwrapping the mystery box instead of piling on like some shows

I can never decide which I like better. I heard someone describe the newest season of a mystery box show once as "explaining everything and wrapping it with a neat little bow," and it kind of sounded sad. Later, a poster here suggested Raised by Wolves didn't need a second season, something I hadn't thought about. Combined with my PTVSD from watching Lost all the way through, I'm starting to be more partial to ending with mystery, or maybe just a big hint (Blacklist clearly should have ended when it was revealed that Redington was probably her mom).

In Severance it's answering the questions so that the show could focus on the more interesting stuff, characters making hard moral choices. It's why Leftovers is my favorite mystery show, because it never even pretended that the mystery was ever going to be solved, and so it was always sort of meant to be pushed aside. Waiving mysteries around can be a carnival trick.

People might not like how Battlestar Galactica ended, but by God did Ronald D. Moore have an actual ending for that show. He wasn't going to have it go out like Gilligan's Island and never get them to find Earth. You have to respect that.

Official launch date for the new Love Death and Robits is May 15th. https://youtu.be/fnvke44Rps4?si=yd4kPdHwWTfQkGwk Looks like one shirt is straight up a riff on the most terrifying segment from Heavy Metal so that's cool.

A fun mystery (no box) right now is “The Residence” - a murder in the White House and a consulting detective is investigating. Snappy writing & music and really fun characters. Also Al Franken is playing a senator which… was a choice. But it’s a small bit.

Black Mirror has a brand new season. Netflix's algorithm must know I'm interested in it, but it appears nowhere on the homepage. I had to search for it manually. What a weird world we live in.
