Solid, not amazing, honestly the only thing you’ll remember is Eddie Redmayne.
They screwed up the whole plot of the ‘protagonist’ (not Redmayne) and her acting was terrible.
Her boss, The High Evolutionary, is good, but the writing isn’t great there either.
Really overpowered actors in a lot of roles (Charles fucking dance), given way too little decent plot.
The settings are incredible though, nailed a lot of cimenatography.
- Comment on ‘Grimsburg’, ‘Krapopolis’ & ‘Universal Basic Guys’ Renewed At Fox 21 hours ago:
Krapolis isn’t that bad.
Hannah waddington is fun, David ayode is great and Matt berry is there too.
The scripts are all over the place, but there are decent ones that let the actors show off.

You think that’s bad, wait for the giraffes.

Slightly better, but not significantly, and it dips in parts.
Honestly give it a miss, if s2 is much better then consider going back.
- Comment on First Look: 'Mare of Easttown’ Creator Heads Back to Pennsylvania for Task 5 days ago:
It has pretty good direction.
That’s what made it not unwatchable.
- Comment on If a TV series you loved from the 90s, 00s or even early 10s instead came out today - how different do you imagine it would be? How would the writing be different? Who would be casted instead? 5 days ago:
Babylon 5.
No idea, it created so much of the foundation for modern scifi, particularly the emphasis on in-depth plot arcs over multiple seasons.
B5 with bsg style vfx has always been the dream.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 1 week ago:
It absolutely works like that.
Snowpiercer was worse.
You are obsessed with the American version of seasons, let it be more flexible, like the European version.
Or the walking dead variants, the characters aren’t in all of them, it’s like that, make it 2 series, wool with what’s her face, and the silo with the others.
- Comment on Are there any books, video games, comics or movies you think would work if adapted into a TV series? 1 week ago:
I could not even get 50 pages in, i rarely have that much trouble but it felt like it was trying to discourage me from reading.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 1 week ago:
And?
They had other characters there, it built tension, but finally, HAVE SEASONS WITH LESS OF A BREAK!!!
Season 2 could have been cheaper without Reverend mother Juliet, it could have been a half season with all these supporting characters we otherwise don’t care about, and the 4 episodes could have ended with a teaser that she was alive.
They’re throwing so much bullshit at the wall while trying to make it ‘prestige’, that it takes years and we stop caring about the characters and plot.
Slow horses is the opposite of this, short, cheap seasons, but more frequent so you enjoy the plot progression.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 1 week ago:
I read the books, I don’t think it was quite this unfilmable.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 1 week ago:
I mean, ok.
It was achingly slow, and not in a ‘slow burn’ kind of way, but in a 'we need to drag this shit out because we don’t have anything left after the questions are answered kind of way.

Fair, smart, and I think it worked.
By the time the scene was over I was basically ‘yeah fine, that’s bail now’.

This isn’t surprising, they have a near monopoly on retirees who can’t figure out streaming.

Unless Benjamin Bratt ate another Benjamin Bratt I think it will still be noticeable.
- Comment on 'Andor' creator explains recasting major 'Star Wars' character with Benjamin Bratt 1 week ago:
I like Ben Bratt, but he’s half the size.
Especially since this isn’t that much after kenobi.
Haven’t gotten past 2e4 though, curious how it turned out.

God I love Stephen root so much.

Yes, I just wish she had a few minutes of ‘doing stuff’ that arc, it was so much drama with her as the object.

The episode in Vesuvius, huh?

Was a bit bland, had good moments but would have enjoyed more fun bits.
- Comment on What show are you surprise managed to finish, or get many seasons out of it at least, and avoid cancellation? 2 weeks ago:
They’re cheap.
- Comment on What show are you surprise managed to finish, or get many seasons out of it at least, and avoid cancellation? 2 weeks ago:
And the distribution company died in the middle too.
They were basically backed by Criss-Craft boats who had massive financial scaldals and collapsed taking PTEN down with them.

Agreed, miracle that made any kind of ending.

That seems pretty stupid actually.

So, S1 of the expanse was my favorite season by far, mostly because I loved the introduction to the belter ethos, it set a tableau for the rest of the season which was much more action oriented.
- Comment on What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in? 3 weeks ago:
Same, why should I care about these people?
The only character that seemed like an actual character in S1 was the manager, and…

Not perfect, but I can see it.
Could pull off a similar serious face too, though Ray Stevenson truly stole every shot he was in and wasn’t nice about it.
