What TV series are you watching at moment?

This was ok, not as good as the trailer. It was low budget, and way too talky, was expecting arms to be getting ripped off, etc. but it was mostly standard Marvel hand-to-hand combat. The FX were TV quality, it was all Universal monsters vibe, and 0% grindhouse, IMO. You saw the werewolf for maybe 30 seconds. At least it was a first step towards the Marvel monsters, which were really big in the 70s, and will eventually lead to Dracula.

current rick and morty keeps on being entertaining even so I was a bit nervous that they would do  zombie-simpsons like celebrity walk-ons but they didn't. I wonder where they go with the finale 

Mike Flannigan’s new joint… and he’s going full-Y.A.

4 episodes deep and I’m actually really enjoying it. It’s no Hill House, but it is lots of creepy fun with a couple good story hooks. 

Man the last episode of House of Dragons was actually pretty awesome.  Reminded me that it is far superior in acting and production quality than Ring of Power.   It takes an army of orcs and intense battles to keep me interested in RoP, while House of Dragons one King kept me on the edge of my seat the whole episode.

Started White Lotus quite late to the party and I’m all in. 
 

I love Steve Zahn.

Everything is suppose to be extremely ambiguous.  Nobody really knows what's going and who is actually who, so you are not alone.  Honestly the last episode I freaking loved, so I don't care either way - excited to see if the remaining episodes are as good.

As far as Galadriel I really really dislike the casting.  They honestly could've dressed up a piece of drift-wood and CGI'd a mouth on it and it would've given a better acting performance than her.  Luckily there are some other good actors / characters so I just focus my attention on them.

glad i'm not the only one confused as to some of the identities of characters and motivations etc. i also agree about the casting. my wife can't stand legolas from puerto rico (i just call him puerto rico for scratching and survivin') or the dwarf (?) wife to the guy that always has to ask his pops for permission when asked to help anyone. oh, and the guy with the square face who got REJECTED by the dwarves.

I think pretty much all of the acting is bad in ROP except for that ginger dwarf… even if his character still makes very little sense. This show is just a hot mess.

Even if ROP, HOD and Andor are all kind of messes, I don't mind it.  Special time being a nerd right now with all these coming out at the same time.   I'm usually scrolling for hours trying to find something, maybe some hidden Sci Fi or Fantasy that passed me by, but at this moment no need to.  The geek inside of me is very happy.

True. I’m still watching ROP every week. I’m also watching the Nerd of the Rings thing that @beerwolf mentioned after each episode

Last ROP today. Looking forward to it. It’s definitely grown on me. I think the description ‘hot mess’ is very apt. 
 

Looking forward to Northern Bastard Waldreg and Sauron becoming best buddies. That bloke makes me chuckle

I did a quick watch over lunch. My review for the series: 

Dumas when challenged about his treatment of history said "True, I have raped history, but it has produced some beautiful offspring"

I think J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay will have to say they "A Serbian Film'd Tolkien's Middle Earth" 

I'd be interested in your thoughts on ep 8's revelations.

Its a tricky one. There’s no doubt that part of me is just enjoying watching a story linked to LOTR. Specifically the Sauron/Mt Doom/Mordor thing. Adar and his Orcs is the easy highlight. Probably Gandalf second. Not sure about the rest, I sit watching it and wonder is it really bad or just ok? I actually don’t have an answer. 

Patriot - I know it's on purpose but the dialogue sometimes is so painstakingly pretentious and tedious that I can't help but yawn... still pretty fun with lot's of lols to be found... the bachelor party episode in particular was funny af...

Triangle of Sadness. Saw it last weekend and had to watch it again this weekend. Easily the funniest movie of the year

Ah meant to post in the film thread haha. That being said, this could be watched like a short mini series. It's a bit long with three distinct parts

started white lotus as well... oh my lol...

that valley girl really reminds me of Aubrey Plaza...

Anyway, first time I was introduced to this soundtrack composer was in the Utopia tv show... he's Cristobal Tapia de Veer and his sound is so characteristic that you can guess that's him doing the soundtrack miles away...

I quite liked White lotus. Pretty strange and moist vibe. The soundtrack was surprisingly enjoyable indeed.
