Also Vox Machina is frickin awsome. I got into animated. I’m on Vinland saga. It’s ok. Not great. But I love Viking time period shows.
 
I thought it was okay. I was just disappointed that Daryl can never have nice things happen for him, especially for all that he has been through before coming to France. Carol could have taken a completely different path to get Ash to comply with her request, but nope. Gotta create conflict and drama no matter what.
Carol is an absolute garbage human being. She’s worse than Negan bc she’s beyond selfish and cares only for herself and Daryl. She just starts mowing down innocent people and lets a bunch of crazed zombies in to kill women and children. I cannot stand her and her stupid look on her face like she’s pretending to be a harmless house wife. Wish Daryl’s gf would have offed Carol.
 
Say what you want about Taylor Sherdian, but he casts beautiful women galore. Billy Bob's Lawyer is gorgeous.

Loving the show so far, 5 episodes in. Billy Bob is money, I'll watch anything he's in, but my fav thing of his is still S1 of Fargo.
It's that he casts beautiful women who just decimate everyone in their way. The lawyer in Landman, Beth Dutton in everything, Zoe Sandna..fucking awesome.
 
The Madness (Netflix 2024) 5/10

This one wasn't great. It seems like the writing is so bad and unbelievable at times that the actors aren't even trying. The main guy has exactly one facial expression and one voice tone he uses throught the entire series. The first episode did hook me but it just isn't very good after that. Don't waste your time.

He is also the only show runner who writes dominate females characters who are vicious with the roles. Even when they need "saving" they are wolverines; i.e Beth Dutton.
 
Quasi agree. How it ended redeemed itself for me. The land never gets touched by anyone who doesn't love it; ever.
I liked the ending and thought it was fitting, but everything getting to it was just awful. Acting and tone was all over the place...weird episodes with scenes and music that just made the episodes feel like fillers even though the series was ending and there was a lot more they could have done.

Great call on his performance in Fargo.

As for beautiful women, that's one of two criticisms of this show I have. HIs daughter is wearing almost nothing in every scene, and while I appreciate her fantastic body, it takes me out of the show. It's too gratuitous and really hurts the story.

The other criticism is political, the show feels like an ad for the fossil fuel industry. I don't think I've ever seen any other show talk about how bad for the environment windmills are.

Best show on TV right now, though, hands down.
 
So Disney "What If" series was canceled an there is a major shake up at Marvel Studios apparently. A lot of shows and movies have been put on the shelve indefinitely and also looks like anything to be worked on with mutant children has been delayed or killed off. What if people are upset because they say the direction the series took was not their idea in fact they say they wanted to making it much more hardcore like the comics. Speaking of comics and violent content Marvel comics just introduced their version of Satan to the MCU and starts off by killing world breaker hulk "Or some version of a super powered Hulk" like he was swatting a fly and wipes out the eternals or something big. He is called not joking the one below all as reference to the one above all that Stan Lee called his writers "Jack Kirby" comic mastery of developing stories.


"The One Below All is the dark side and a part of the cosmic being known as the One Above All, who is the supreme ruler of the Multiverse and the supreme embodiment of creation and compassion,[6] which would make the One Below All the ultimate personification of destruction and hate.[7][8] The Mother of Horrors, a being who wasn't created by the One Above All, but by Herself, hid from Him the Earth, that She ruled; angry by Her defiance and the creation of Udru, He manifested as the One Below All, the representation of His fury and dark aspects,[9] that posteriorly acted as a counterweight to the growing life in the Multiverse.[8] It resides in the lowest point of reality, called the Below-Place, from which it rules. Sealed off from the rest of the Multiverse through the metaphysical Green Doors, it manifests in other realities through "extreme gamma" -- the mutagenic third form of Gamma Radiation. When Bruce Banner fell victim to the Gamma Bomb, he opened a Green Door and was infused with the One Below All's power, becoming the Hulk.[10][11] In an alternate future, it would succeed in taking over Bruce Banner's body, eliminating his consciousness and those of his component Hulks, and use his power to devour Eternity, ascending in the Ninth Cosmos and proceeding to achieve its ultimate goal, to eradicate all life in the Multiverse.[4][12] The Leader was granted a vision of this future and decided to help the entity fulfill its purpose, though his attempt to do so ultimately prevented it from happening, as in the process he not only left it without a host personality to think for it but closed the Green Doors as well, severing the One Below All's connection to the rest of the Gamma Mutates and leaving it trapped in the Below-Place.[8]"

Gave up on that show years ago, it was just too boring.

Also, 1883 and 1923 both started out strong and turned to complete garbage, in exactly the same way. Promised everything but gave nothing.

Isabel May was stunning, though.

I don't know if it's an ad for oil, but it's a good reminder for just how much of our lives rely on it. It's been a while since I've looked up wind turbine viability, but aren't they pretty much useless without massive subsidies?

The daughter is a bit too skinny for my tastes, but still a smoke show. It's those freckles on the lawyer...

Isabel May was beautiful, though I can't think of a show where I quickly went from loved to hated in such a short time. I didn't even bother with 1923.

I like how he writes strong yet vulnerable female characters while casting bombshells. You need some normal-looking people to highlight the attractive leads, a tried and tested method since motion pictures took hold. The last few years has been the exception with women across games and tv/film.

Beth's schtick got old on me by the end. Her lighting up a cigarette after the explosion this past season was too much lol. I was done with her Jamie Feud a long time ago as well. I wonder what the plans were if
Costner wasn't written off.

We needed to be reminded? And it definitely feels like fossil fuel propaganda, look at how many times it's mentioned that the world treats oil barons like villains. That one character looking for help drilling oil because the banks treat him like a pariah was particularly egregious; the vast majority of banks continue to invest huge sums in fossil fuels.

Look it up. Green energy is becoming so competitive hundreds of billions are being thrown into it because it's clearly the future. As for subsidies, I doubt they ever got the kind of support fossil fuels have gotten.

She got really annoying really quickly. Her character arc started off strong then got a bit ridiculous.

Yeah, the lawyer is spectacular. Has anyone called dibs yet?
 
I didn't even bother with 1923.
Don't bother.

There's a hardcore character who's supposed to come home and fight for the family but we wait the entire season watching the most ridiculous sequence of events delay him, it was stupidly frustrating.
 
I am at home recovering from my knee surgery and I have all the time in the world, so I started to watch Parenthood a week or so ago. I really liked it and watched it intensely, but then I got really bored sometimes by the 4th season and stopped.

I'm also watching Landman and Shrinking
