This was a fun quick binge watch. The season is it's own complete story.

MobLand so far has been exceptional.

Episode 2 of The Last of Us was excellent, but man, it was a lot!

I'm thinking fans who played the game knew what was coming at the end, but I was completely shocked.

[ConstableGeneva]

Haven't seen the latest TLoU episode yet. Just here to say Kaitlyn Dever. That's it.

She's very naughty!

Maybe a little more than that. Just finished the episode. Geez.

Spoiler:

Hope I didn't ruin anything for you.

I saw a headline about how that character is super buff in the game, and fans were mad that Kaitlyn Dever doesn't look like a massive body builder. I don't really care about all that, but yeah, she was very naughty to the max.

Reminded me of season 1 episode 1, where I fell in love with Joel's daughter, and then she promptly died and the whole show changed like 30 minutes after it started.

Nah, you didn't ruin anything for me.

It's fun knowing nothing coming into a show/episode.

I'm speechless after that. I also never played the game, so, wow...

Yeah I played the game...

Yeah. It's a lot. As a game player, I'm always interested when they add deeper context to the story with things that weren't a part of the game. That they have woven in well. But the 2nd game wasn't as fun to play in my mind as the first and a lotof that surrounds a specific, critical choice the game designers made with the story and gameplay. In this medium that choice may play out easier to digest. Lots more to come. Should be interesting. Keep in mind this split this game up into 2 seasons of real life television.

Can't believe it.

Very late to the party obviously, but I watched both seasons of Severance for the first time over the last couple of weeks. I thought it was fantastic, probably one of the most original and unique shows or movies I can remember watching for a very long time. Not just the story line, but the set design and visuals, the acting, the general vibe etc. Eagerly anticipating season three now.

We got any Andor fans in here?

I'm trying to figure out why it's one of the most highly rated Star Wars projects of all time, but I find it incredibly boring to the point that I find my mind involuntarily wandering off even when I'm trying not to do that. What am I missing here?

[canman1971]

New season of "You" is now out. 1st episode was good.

I find it just a unique story in the Star Wars universe. It's a political drama built inside a universe that normally caters to kids and teens. It has at times relied on "cute puppets and space magic" as props. That may be dumbing it down to a degree but you get the idea. The stories in Andor are a adult stories that add shades of gray and complexity to that world. Episodes 9-12 on S1 were some of the best television I saw the year it came out. Episode 10 stands alone as one of the finest hours of storytelling and acting the Star Wars universe has ever produced. It gave what follows with Rogue One and the original trilogy a heart never before realized.

I need to start over and rewatch some of it. I think I was distracted when I started it and didn't pay full attention, and now the plot is a mystery to me by my own fault. And then because I've lost the plot, I think it's boring.

It’s been a little slow at times, but I’m really enjoying Season 2 too. Agree on the “adult” Star Wars point. It’s such an interesting idea to try and almost incorporate realism into it. Of course it makes perfect sense that an evil galactic empire needs more than a pair of all powerful Sith Lords to keep the boot heel in place, they need fascism, propaganda, bureaucrats, immigration police checking work visas etc. And prequels don’t always work, but having Episode 4 and Rogue One sitting there as an anchor for the whole show works really well, because you know what is at stake.

So good.

"The Four Seasons" on Netflix was a quick fun watch. 8 episodes, about 30m each. Can be very reflective.

[bisme37]

I've been enjoying The Eternaut on Netflix. Argentinean sci-fi-ish end of the world alien invasion thing.
