Television TV Show Thread

Watched a few episodes of Netflix Night Agent and some of the dialogue is like same level as B movie titty movies. It's just missing the titties.

Also watching this.

Was very intered after seeing Shawn Ryan (creator of GOAT The Shield) was involved.

Agree dialog and acting is bad, and some scenes need me to suspend belief, but the overall story arc keeps me hooked so far, so it's good for an episode or two at a time.

I expected better from Ryan, really makes me appreciate the talented cast he had on the Shield (Goggins,Chiklis, CCH Pounder)

Besides The Shield & Sons of Anarchy all I've seen with Ryan's name on it is cringe... and most of SoA after the 2nd season was cringe too.

It's weird when an amazing creator gets his break in TV with an extremely low budget and makes one of the greatest shows of all time. Then everything after that is practically far-below-average slop.
 
Haven't watched Harley Quinn past the 2nd season. How has that series been going?
 
I started watching the old Perry Mason (1957) mystery/courtroom series. I can't believe how much I am enjoying it lol. Such style back then.
 
I’m digging the new rendition of the theme song in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, good show so far
damn youre still around?! i remember you from the big brother threads lol. don't see you about much
 
I watched the first two seasons.
Very mixed quality.
May check it out after the third season is completed so I can marathon it.
Kinda there with you. I enjoyed it, but didn't go spastic about it, it's Dexter's meh replacement now that's finished.
 
I am about to start The Night Agent season 1 tomorrow.

I am on a spy show run.

Just finished season 1 of:
The Agency
Day of the Jackal
Black Doves

Enjoyed all of them. The Agency is the most well-written of the 3. Day of the Jackal the most unique and Black Doves blends in some good British humor.
I've watched all you mentioned and Day of The Jackal (regardless of genre) was my favourite new show of the year last year. Bar none.

Just happened to watch the first episode and the computer animation is good. Kinda want to jump to what I think is the Daredevil episode. Aunt May kinda looks whack like an old MJ. Harry also whack.

Hey, yep I still pop in from time to time. I miss those BB threads, fun times. The last season with Angela "crazy eyes" was pretty fun

Yep, DD is in episode 6, titled Duel with the Devil

Took me until about episode 3 to get on board with this show but I'm enjoying it. A little more violent in parts too, not quite at Invincible level but more violent than the other spidey cartoons I would think

Ya. Thinking the same. I’ll watch it but I’ve lost interest in the present day stuff other than psycho Frodo Baggins who is great.
The stuff in the woods is really good though.

Didn't have anything else to watch, so I saw the first two episodes and... I was so bored by the end of the second episode I turned it off with 10 minutes left to go.

Would have thought since there was so much marketing for the shows return after two years they would have started it off with alot of excitement.
Nope.
It felt like the middle of a season, like they know they have the audience hooked so they could add alot of fluff to pad out the runtime of a season.

Do not recommend.

At this point I think I'll read a summary of the season after it's over.
 
Watched The Are Murders over the last couple of nights. Pretty decent. Definitely better performances than The Breakthrough. Kind of given up on American shows so it's interesting to try some foreign stuff.
I love Scandinavian stuff. I just finished Are, and it was good. There is always a dour note to these, but they are done well. I would recommend Young Wallander, Entrapped(Iceland), The Chestnut Man (Danish), Equinox (Danish).....

Started The Chestnut man yesterday.

That animation is 'fine' for you?
Some complained about X-Men'97 but I was 100% fine with it, and even praised its overall quality.
This animation is obviously bottom-dollar.
so i finally started YFNSM last night & watched all eight episodes out now (the last two go up this week). not only is the show great, but the animation also looks great. now, obviously the animation isn’t on a tier w/ something as elevated & game-changing as Arcane, but i could say that about a lot of animated series. the #1 thing i was worried about w/ YFNSM’s animation based solely on previews was how the web swinging would look. i’m happy to report that it looks fuckin’ awesome. it’s smooth. it’s varied. it’s honestly the best i’ve seen in a Spidey-related show or movie not called Spider-Man: Into/Across the Spider-Verse. some of the swing mechanics seem similar in ways to the three Spider-Man PlayStation games & i’m wondering if there is any sort of overlap w/ the creators/animation team & Insomniac when it came to storyboarding/designing/animating the swinging for the show.

i feel pretty confident the first season will stick its landing, but i’m already worried that i’m gonna feel like 10 episodes felt too short. hopefully they are already deep into production on seasons 2 & 3 because i’ll hate if i gotta wait longer than a year for 10 new episodes
