Amazing writing and acting. Whoever did this and Hill House is a name to follow. I thought Hill House was far superior, but I enjoyed Bly. It’s a good ghost story with a lot of heart. A good horror series in October is a beautiful thing. On 10/10/2020 at 10:56 AM, Warhead36 said: Finished Season 2 of The Boys yesterday. Such a good show. If you're not watching it you're really missing out. The season finale was amazing in so many ways. The Boys is great, I just finished season 2. Excellent show. Both seasons also have had some excellent “oh ****” movements, like when Kimiko just casually ripped that guys face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 On 10/1/2020 at 7:24 PM, Mr. Sinister said: Coven (Season 3) was really good. I've always liked Angela Basset and Kathy Bates, and Sidibe was a nice Wildcard. Even though some actors characters didn't change all that much from Asylum, the new additions still made it fresh. For Freak Show, there doesn't really seem to be an angle that really hooked me. It had potential, but Hide contents The house of a thousand corpse-ish clown killer getting offed so early and the Freak Grim reaper exiting stage left... kinda dried things out for me. I'm on episode 10, and I'm just not all that interested anymore. Coven and the surprise revival of that storyline was my favorite season of one of my favorite shows on TV. I love women’s empowerment themes and this had it big time. I’ve really enjoyed watching it with my daughter. I’ve always loved me some Angela Bassett...even if she won’t return my phone calls for some strange reason. 🙂She, Lynne Whitfield and Drew Barrymore we’re and are my big crushes. Basset and Barrymore have really aged well, assuming they don’t go too far with the plastic surgery. Lynne Whitfield however, SMDH. On 9/12/2020 at 1:26 PM, Mr. Sinister said: Overall it's not as bad as previous seasons when Andrew Lincoln was still on the show, but in certain scenes, it's still missing that "Top dog" character. I gave up on TWD years and years ago. It was around the time of the baseball bat episode. By that time the only thing keeping me going was the hope that Carl and his stupid hat would get it. The stuff I’m really liking right now, in no particular order: Detectorists - very well done, subtle, dry humor. Dead to Me - It feels like a darker reimagined version of The Santa Clarita Diet which I also liked a lot. Anything with Drew Barrymore can’t be bad, right? Mrs. Maisel Another Life Definitely digging Utopia too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hotel is a bit better, but like GoT in certain moments, the continuous sex scenes/pointless gore eventually start to turn you off. I don't mind violence/nudity, but there comes a point for me when you gotta decide if you want to be an actual show, or something less. We are becoming far too reliant on unspeakable levels of gore and sex, and in many cases, it takes away from the quality of a show. Theres a reason why stuff like Hill House can be so superior with what amounts to a PG-13 rating. It should always be about the story, and the actors and actresses who carry it. I'm just not moved by fleshy and gory ornaments anymore. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) It honestly makes me feel stupid. Or makes me feel like the creators think I’m stupid. This what I need to have in order to be entertained? This is what you think I want? You don’t think I can follow a good story or good writing or good characters without excess sex, gore, or violence? its an insult .

purbeast Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Finished Season 2 of Cobra Kai today. Season 2 was dumb as ****. The last episode of season 2 is by far the dumbest episode of the entire series. I doubt I will watch Season 3.

I think Bly was supposed to be more tragic and sad than Hill. Both executed very well. My one complaint was how long the show focused on some of the characters who, ultimately, weren't all that significant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Dexter Returning Showtime ordered 10 new episodes of Dexter. The way Dexter ended back in 2013 doesn’t have me excited, but maybe the show can redeem itself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick. The first three seasons are really good. The last season was a letdown. Nowhere near GoT level, but I think they tried to tie it into too much with current events, and it didn't work for me.

I think its still watchable, and their is sort of a WTF moment in the final season that I found enjoyable. I think its worth watching despite this. I never read the book so I can't say if its better, though it did get a Hugo award and was written by Phillip K. Dick (also wrote the stories behind Blade Runner and Total Recall). I'm pretty sure the show goes way beyond the book 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Mad Men had a fantastic finale which was really difficult to do since the show wasn’t action packed with enemies or even foes to the point a plot thread could easily be resolved by killing them or something like most shows. It was just people living their life and determining where we leave them in their arcs, how far they’ve grown or not, do they find catharsis, happiness, respect, or love. it blew me away from the opening scene of the first episode to the final seconds. to be honest I didn’t like the final 5 minutes at first but I stayed up all night thinking about it and watched it a second time and realized how powerful it and perfect of an ending it was Edited October 15, 2020 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Unsolved Mysteries season 2 is out today on Netflix. Will be binging that as soon as I can find the time, the first season came out earlier this year and it was fantastic.

They ended it really well but I felt like it didn't HAVE to end. I really wanted to see how those characters were going to tackle the 70s. Don has his moment, he gets inspired to create one of the biggest ad campaigns of all time. But what's that MEAN?! Does Don stay on top in the 70s or does he become irrelevant? Does Joan kill it with her own company or does she keep doing blow and de-rail herself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 On the Dexter revival, I heard that the original showrunner is back for it. It went downhill after he left, so here's hoping it's worth 10 episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
