What TV series are you watching at moment?

really enjoyed the chirpiness of the hairless chechnyan gangster.

i tried the first ep before and ditched it. seemed very tv, kinda very obvious plot-moving writing and this indie-comedy farce that rarely works. but trying it again i thought that it's actually pretty sweet. like a tighter, better conceived take on that thing "the last man on earth" tried to do with its goofy humor and punchline-to-punchline drive.

the realization that nothing is true all of the time is what i take from this experience.

The best thing about Barry is the characterizations, all the actors seemed to have made a big effort to come up with believable and unique personalities, even if they only have a few lines. And yes, Noho Hank is great.

Arca tune in this week's Handmaid's Tale opening.

If there's one thing that put me off with Handmaid's Tale, it was the heavy handed music choices. nearly Suicide Squad levels.

Yep, there was one bit in season one that was really cringey, they were all walking in slow motion while smirking like a bunch of bad asses while some awful shite played in the background, was terrible. All of the flashback stuff had bad music choices too.

^yeah that was fucking awful. The one I hated most was:

lol that show sounds fucking horrendous

I wish jay reatard was still alive and everyone got mad and made him change his name

I actually thought some of the background ambient soundtrack stuff in Handmaids tale was quite good... agreed that the songs suck tho ...

 

I gotta say I love watching Serena ... she is always great on screen ... good character

that last episode with focus on serena was probably the first decent episode in the entire show.

probably back to sitting in a bath full of vaj blood in slo-mo with a dreary score in the next one. it's actually a good metaphor for the whole show.

The Terror looks up my alley.

just don't ditch it when you meet this guy, it's good regardless:

 

finished ep 3 now. fucking great use of Lustmord, off my favourite album of his.

uh what kinda fucking rad TV show uses Lustmord?? Adding this to my list

wow this is really cheesy but brings back a lot of memories. all those late 80s/early 90s haircuts, one long earring and the 90s dyed jeans- not to mention each episode had an anti-drug (and occasionally) use condoms message behind it because it was the regan era. this should be required viewing for todays teenagers

this track:

it was completely appropriate.

Watched the first four episodes of Westworld Season 2 last night and definitely feel I’ve reached a cognitive plateau.

yeh the Handmaids Tale sounds like fkn garbage too.

handmaid is 100 times better than westworld

Yeah Handmaid is still good, it's just some of the unfortunate choices with direction. I assume those stylistic choices are written by, and made to appeal to, *ahem* y o u n g p e o p l e

They appear to be a bit drunk on their own importance too

u know it’s a great show when you keep asking yourself “why am I watching this” while watching this.

at least it doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a “u never guess what happen nexxcct” deal.

serious cringe at “she has a a dragon” pun...

I'm still digging Westworld. The only thing that annoys me about it is the fact that somebody (usually Dolores) has to say to somebody 'I've got something to show you' (or words to that effect) about twice per episode, usually followed by them cutting away and never seeing what it was they had to show, I've taken to shouting at the TV whenever anyone says that now.

Altered Carbon - I'm quite enjoying it about halfway through, got a funny feeling it'll get worse as it continues but for now I hope for the best. Maybe slightly too much unnecessary attempt at funnies by the main guy (forgets name)

WESTWORLD - Enjoyed the first season the most, and glad I didn't listen to any podcasts ruining the plotlines and reveals for me.

Kinda miss Jimmi Simpson in it though, wasn't he great in IASIP.

the americans - a few blunders (u2, paige and vodka) but otherwise both very moving and satisfying. it would be a much more crushing experience if not irl history and the fall of soviet union in just a few years. kinda wish i didn't know russian because keri russel's russian pronunciation of "we'll get used to it" felt a bit like a shart in my face.
