OT: TV and Movies

Other thread maxed.

Spoilers are allowed to a point but please use spoiler tags for any recent shows/movies when discussing details.

Finally finished Severance. Took me a while but, next level ****. So many lenses to filter it through. Questioned my own values, beliefs, motivations. That’s the good stuff as Sean Maguire would say.

Great characters. And the thrills. The THRILLS!

Another 4 stars from me.

The new guy in charge over there comes from the Discovery reality TV empire. That's why you're seeing them dump movies, ax Bat Girl, gut the CW slate of TV shows. HBOMax was the best streamer, and that won't be the case going forward.

Just got around to starting s3 of The Boys. What the hell was that opening scene w/ the Termite? This season is going to be wild.

Just ridiculous what he's doing from a consumer perspective. Obviously from a bottom line he thinks it's worth it. Can't imagine he'll have the same luck drawing creative people to participate in his tax write-off scheme, but like you implied he probably doesn't think he needs them.

I don't know how reality plays on streamers but **** with the HBO brand seems like a catastrophic, irrecoverable error to me.

Not bad

Spoiler:

Homelander in season 3 is up there for best season for a TV villain I’ve ever seen.

When I watched the last handful of episodes of BB it made me regret that I dumped the show after season three. Now that I'm at the end of BCS I wish I would have stopped at season 3.

[RiotPunch]

BCS, at its peak, was every bit as good as BB, IMO. As a whole, there is no comparison. It started a bit slow and it looks to be ending a bit slow, but it was still a worthwhile and brilliantly written ride.

Lalo, Nacho, Howard, Kim-- so many incredible new characters/arcs that make BCS great. Everyone has different tastes, I guess.

You're missing a lot of Lalo if you stop at season 3.

Spoiler:

I can't believe Jimmy and Kim's entire season six plotline hinged on them just **** with Howard for some reason. A season's worth of stupid, unbelievable stuff straight out of Punked, just so they could get him in the living room at the same time as Lalo.

Season five picked up and wasn't bad, but this season has been a tire fire of stupid.

Spoiler:

That's fair. It is pretty consistently over-the-top silly, while still being very smart about it. The reason is jealousy, resentment, and Howard just being such a satisfying target. I personally loved that the silly Howard storyline and the fascinatingly dark Lalo storyline converged in the way they did. A stretch, but a delicious payoff.

Spoiler:

at their core Jimmy and Kim are both immature jerks and the Howard thing fits in with their personalities. That it got him killed was perfect

[MickeyDavis]

Black Bird wrapped up tonight. Good stuff. Uncanny the resemblance of Paul Walter Hauser to Larry Hall

Prey was awesome

[BUCKnation]

Prey was awesome

Loved it. The costume design on the predator was incredible.

I thought they were messing with Howard in order to get that Sandpiper settlement to go through more quickly.

They were. That was the whole point.

Quite enjoying The Sandman so far ( 6 episodes in). Not perfect, but pretty damn good.
Curious to know what it's like for someone who hasn't read the books.
