It’s really messed up that Apple got the It’s Always Sunny gang to make a workplace comedy about a horrible videogame developer and then they made it sentimental

Looks pretty good actually, I was bracing for the worst after this:
I discovered recently that there’s a third season of Joe Pera Talks with You. It’s still good, though in my opinion not as consistently strong as the previous two seasons. It definitely still has its moments and, as usual, the whole season is like an hour long so even I who generally have little patience for television shows can handle it.

I think you can see in the first season how it bounces between long monologues, closer to what might be his standup, and character-driven work, and by the time they get to the second season they’ve exhausted the monologues and are almost exclusively character-driven. It’s still quite good but it’s different from the first.

better than stranger things even if it ends up being goofy and loses itself in overwrought plot machinations

yeah only in season 1 and it’s fun enough. i am having a really hard time keeping track of who everyone is, though.
at least part of this is due to the fact that most of the shows i’ve watched this past year have really distinct writing and very distinct characters, which so far, this doesn’t really seem to have

One of the main draws of the first… season and a half, for me, is how little they bother with exposition. I think that contributes to why its so hard to keep track of who the characters are and how they are connected, the show’s writing seems to expect that you’ll figure those things out in time and doesn’t stop to remind the audience what they should know.

Dark continues to entertain but also give me mixed signals.
am a little disappointed that with all the hints towards non-linear time and the complexity of fate and their roles in the show, they opt to go with Back to the Future-style time travel. although i haven’t ruled out that this could be a feint. but i guess this is more Chrono Trigger than Cross, right?
i’m looking forward to seeing more and more people discover the cave lmao. have a feeling everyone is gonna start becoming evil, maybe
If anybody here likes documentary film and hasn’t checked out How To With John Wilson, you should check it out asap! I finished the second season earlier this week and still love how it works.
One of the best use of documentary in a television format I’ve seen. It’s basically two seasons of six wonderfully associative short essays about New York City and the various neurotic obligations of modern life. Nathan Fielder produced it, but it is very funny and no where as awkward or mean as Nathan’s show. I find the episodes really beautiful, the way they start with a simple conflict “how to recycle batteries” and thread different, seemingly unrelated story tangents together with wonderful visual puns and super weird characters. The stories often resolve in impossible ways, always returning to where they begin (recycling batteries) but within an expanded context of wistful emotions thanks to the bizarre and intensely human subjects he ends up interviewing. The first episode in the series does this so so well. The person he just runs into and talks with shines such a light on the topic of that episode. I find the show really dazzling!

if y’all have been watching j-dramas ten to 15 years ago and wondered what are they doing nowadays… there’s the netflix show The Journalist, and I’ve discovered about six face i haven’t seen for soooo, so long that i needed a while to be sure that yes, they are back. Netflix must spend a lot ( and three pages sponsors? That’s in China’s White/Geeen Snake territory of sponsoring, woaaaahhh) or someone very important asked his most famous actors from a decade ago and they all needed the money/aren’t getting gigs anymore … and it feels a bit like coming home and meeting people you haven’t seen for a long time, and you realize that time has also used their faces as canvas and started drawing wrinkles here and there … two eps in, like where this is going.
Haven’t seen the show, but I feel this thread is still the right place for this
I briefly mistakenly believed that the creator of the show Euphoria was Sam Levine, from Freaks and Geeks. But then I learned it’s Barry Levinson’s son, which is even funnier
the guy they got to play jack reacher in the new tv series looks like a tom cruise quake 2 skin
