I finished The Boys last weekend and boy was it good. I never planned to watch it thinking it will be too gory like the comic books which I read a few years ago, but most of my friends told me that it was toned down and so I gave it a go. Like most of you I didnt like the lack of season closure, but I can overlook that considering everything else was perfection. I just hope Kripke doesnt milk the story for more than 4-5 seasons.

Another Life - finished it in about 3 or 4 hours total because I was fast-forwarding through most of it. The show could be really good but instead of making it more compact and meaningful they filled it to the brim with irrelevant stuff. They want to add some depth to the characters through pointless conversations when some of those characters don't really need any more depth. The body horror is nice, the premise is interesting but the execution of it fell a bit short for me. 6/10


I couldn't make it past episode 3 and like you I was fast forwarding through the drama parts and wanted to find out more about the aliens/crystal. Its a shame though, with a premise like that it could have been a great show, but its ultimately ruined by absurdly irrational characters.

The Boys ending:
+ Show Spoiler +
yeah, i was extremly confused and wondered if this was actually the final or if there are some more ep's coming very soon. This is not how you end a season, not at all.


I actually didn't mind it at all. I mean, even if there weren't any more seasons planned I'm not opposed to a relatively open endings in TV-shows/movies that leave a few questions in your brain.

+ Show Spoiler +

Hell, I think that if this actually was an ending it would be perfectly fine. With how the show has been ending it like that would be very fitting. Showing how misguided some characters were and how futile some of their actions were too, to the point where they're so insignificant that it's not even worth wrapping up what happened to them. The ending is all about Homelander and I love it.

I am really enjoying The Boyz, does Hughie remind anyone else of ODPixel?

I have seen 1 episodes of Too Old too Die Young. To be honest i can't really tell if I like it or not. It's so different from anything else out there, its the director from Drive, so it's so focused on the style. There is a lot of non to little dialog in the series, with more the visual and music to give a feeling. Not that the story is hard to follow seems basic and straight forward until now.

Fun fact: In the comics his character was based on Simon Pegg. Simon is too old now to play him so he plays his father.

I managed to go through the first season of The Flash. Wasn't so bad. What annoyed me the most about it was that all those supposedly super smart people constantly being idiots. And for the life of me I have absolutely no idea why when creating some nerdy shows with science and "smart" people in it the showrunners won't hire even a bit of help. In this show they're just spewing "sciency sounding" stuff from their mouths that makes completely no sense even if you have some very basic knowledge of physics and chemistry. The cake has to go to the scene where two "geniuses" are playing chess though... One says "check" and the other one responds with "check mate" which was wrong because 1. it's super unlikely to at the same time move to protect your king and check mate your opponent and 2. the move they showed wasn't even a "check mate". Details like that really piss me off sometimes.

Nowadays you don't actually need to BE smart, you just have to say that being smart is cool, or whatever.

I'm super excited for this. The movie was a huge deal for me in my childhood, but i wouldn't recommend it to kids these days because it looks and feels so dated. This could be perfect though

Dark is great but I think its not for all people. it is slow, you have to be really focused on whats going on and at one point you will eventually go "wtf is going on here" its too much to take but its a great series!

Speaking of great series, second season of Mindhunter finally landed on Netflix and I really enjoyed it. Had to constantly fight off the urge to read about those killers online but I think this would spoil it for me too much so I didn't in the end.

People will process the pacing differently. For me it was spot on. Right as I guessed who was who—the next scene would confirm/reveal it. They don’t spoon-feed u too much but also keep u guessing.

Like I said, it was a ride. I hope season 2 will stay on course.

I liked The Boys. It's remarkably good allegory (I assume intentionally) imo.
It's very rude to talk to oligarchs like that. They prefer relentless submission and sycophantic worship for their attempts to secure a system by which they as individuals & cadres determine the course of the commons.

Yeah Mindhunter is great.

Is it me or is the actor who plays Ford supposed to remind us of a realistic version of agent Dale Cooper?

For me it has two allegories main ones that is in most episodes and the some in specific episodes. But you can also watch it as pure entertainment. Really great show.

I didn't really like the second season of mindhunter nearly as much as the first.

+ Show Spoiler +
I really didn't like how they integrated Atlanta into taking over the season. It never made room for wendy and had her story just limp along. Then the ending to the season just seemed excessively vague and rushed somehow at the same time. just creating a ton of confusion for me on the exact ending, It just felt like the Manson interview scenes should have come at the end. I don't give a fuck about the historical reality they needed more kemper.

I watched the first two episodes of The Dark Crystal series and I fucking love it <3

Yeah its for kids, but its untypical for a kids show in the following ways:

- It has a complex, rich and most importantly original fantasy world - No orcs, no wizards, just aliens on an alien world

- It keeps the feeling of the movie. Its dark and cold at times, like REALLY dark for a kids show. I love this. Most kids stuff is so lame and one note, kids should have access to some kind of horror elements in their entertainment and the Dark Crystal fills this niche (many people who rewatch the movie having watched the original as a kid are surprised at how dark it is)

- The cast is amazing: Simon Pegg, Jason Isaacs, Mark Hamill, Helena Bonham Carter, Sigourney Weaver, Eddie Izzard, Natalie Dormer, Lena Headey, Andy Samberg

- Its scope is absolutely huge. Loads of characters, no mercy in terms of explaining stuff to you - you get 3 minutes of intro and then you're on your own in a very, very complex world. (for a kids show anyway)

- Oh and it looks amazing!

If you can handle watching puppets, you should watch it.

From the reaction I've seen online, it is definitely more popular among people who watched the original as kids. I suppose alot of people don't really want to watch a puppet show, which is fair enough i suppose. It gets 8.7 on imdb which is pretty good for this kind of thing.

Oh god, it is not for kids. It is for 12 and older here in germany, as a puppet show! I got nightmares from some of the darker episodes.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
[image loading]

I was not familiar with the 1982 movie, still am not. The cinematography is good. Not average, not great, just good, which is a let down if you think about it. They had to create everything of every scene from complete scratch. If you want to bake an apple pie from scratch, you first have to invent the universe. Well they did and for the shots and scenes to only be good was disappointing. It is an incredibly rich world, with multiple alien races, and those races have within them different cultures! The story is meh, the writing at least rarely goes into exposition dumps thanks to the medium of visual story telling I guess. Overall 44/100 and skip, however, if you care for whimsical characters add +10 and if you value originality add +20, so for me it is:

74/100

Another Life
[image loading]

I actually finished this without fast forwarding. I didn't find the characters terribly more unreasonable than your average fictional characters. The actors are average looking, which is weird in television and it does make it harder to care for them. I think almost every episode has a different writer and the series happily goes from one sci-fi cliche to the next. As expected with sci-fi, every hint at something bigger makes me, the viewer, long for something bigger and this series boldly goes there.

76/100

Minderhunter: Season 2
[image loading]
Not as good as Season 1, because they knew they get a third season and so the end is just way too little like an actual ending. I also agree: Less Atlanta, More Kemper! However, Season 1 was fantastic and Season 2 is still great television!
Ps: Never realised what a beefcake Holt McCallany is (actor in picture).

86/100
