The Sisko Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I’m really, really loving Somebody Somewhere on HBO (no, I won’t call it “Max” any more than I’ll call the WFT by its new name) Anywho, Somebody Somewhere is just great. Excellent character development amid realistic scenarios that run the gamut from hilarious to heartbreaking. Mo is incredibly good and Painkiller is as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 On 9/14/2023 at 9:38 PM, Momma There Goes That Man said: should I invest in the show if it seems impossible they’ll do all of the story from the anime with that many episodes? Are there feasible end points they could use throughout and not continue the story? Absolutely. In the anime, there are a ton of stories, within the overall storyline, that fit that criteria, i.e. complete stories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I probably got about 15 shows where I need to watch the latest/final season of. I'll have plenty of shows to get me thru the tv strikes this fall and winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Can't stop laughing at Winning Time being cancelled, that show was awful. Fine, not awful, but if you're going to take gross liberties with what you claim to be a historical piece on the 80's Lakers, how about you insert some actual history and not some drama the writers f***ing fluffed up in order to draw attention. And since you were cancelled, it sounds like attention...didn't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a show taking huge creative liberties with "facts" from that era is good? I don't get it. If it was good, the show runner wouldnt' be begging on social media for people to watch it a few weeks back. I stand by my commentary. That show was a fictitious representation of true events. And yes I know Braveheart was too. Hollywood loves to **** the actual story up and dramatize it. This just wasn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a documentary, it was a comedy/drama. Max also stressed that it was a dramatization. It's cool if you don't like it, but it got good ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, season 1 got an 85% approval rating and season 2 got an 83% approval rating, so people definitely liked it.

I wouldn't consider an 85% and 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes bad. The main reason it was cancelled was due to viewership dropping drastically from season 1. Season 1 finale had 1.6 million same day viewers, season 2 premier had 629K. Strikes going on, actors can't promote the shows and season 2 wasn't as good as season 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly every piece of movie/tv media that deals with real life events is full of inaccuracies, outright made up stories, etc. Otherwise it would be a documentary. And especially these days, a lot more than ratings/reviews can determine a shows fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chew Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I'll definitely give it a shot, but no DHP or Leeves is a bummer. And obviously no John Mahoney. It's just Grammer with an all new cast. Paramount+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the concept looked good/different, she said it didn’t look promising. Still going to give it a shot obviously though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I didn't think Bel Air would be very good. I was wrong. Its actually excellent. They really change some of the characters from the original while at the same time keeping their core principles in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) I have a hard time believing Kelsey Grammar would reprise the role for anything of lesser quality. Different is fine, as long as it’s just as well written. We’ll see. Edited September 29, 2023 by Die Hard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chew Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 The final season of Sex Education was pretty good. If you've never seen it I highly recommend, one of Netflix's best shows. Love me some Asa Butterfield, been a fan since Hugo. And Gillian Anderson is an absolute smoke show 🫠 I'm happy for young Ncuti Gatwa, he was my favorite character on the show and his career is about to explode as he's set to become the next Doctor Who. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Shoresy. And I hate Canadian TV. I never would have thought I’d watch it, let alone like it. Even my wife enjoyed it as much. Great musical integration It’s the Canadian Ted Lasso. With lotsa swearing. And hockey instead of soccer. But very similar plot line… and loveable characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
