What shows are you watching for the last few months?
I am watching The Zoo (a show on Animal Planet that focuses the behind the scenes of animal care at the Bronx Zoo), Secrets of the Zoo (same setting but at the Columbus Zoo), The Aquarium (focusing on the Georgia Aquarium). I am watching Dune Prophecies, which is like a tv show prequel/spin-off of the 2020 Dune movies. I am watching the Fallout Tv show and I am loving it. Only Murders in the Building, and also Family Guy too.
And I’ve got a few movies I need to finally get around to watching, which I couldn’t @ the time of their release due to lots of life stuff happening at the time
But yeah, loving the three shows listed above thus far.
Honestly? Haven’t been watching shows all that much lately. Mostly just been watching Youtubers and streamers. I think the only show I’ve seen recently was Sakamoto Days on Netflix.
Thoughts? I am seeing some seriously mixed reception. I will probably pick up a month of D+ eventually. I loved the Netflix series, and technically this is season 4, but it is a big stretch from what I hear.
Shows?
Outside of watching hockey games basically all week, I perpetually watch Shoresy and Letterkenny. I’ve watched each season (other than the latest Shoresy) at least a dozen times.
I’m loving it so far For now it’s leaning more-so towards Murdock’s lawyer side than his Dadedevil side, but it seems that’s purposefully done for the build up of the plot & after episode one – You’ll see why.
But it appears that they’ve canonised the Netflix series, if not all then at least the raw majority of it — and go as far to even make references to it
Fisk makes a reprisal return and it seems that much like Matt, he too is on a path of self-discovery and evolution – You could say they’ve both been “Reborn” – But it’s intriguing to see how they’ll both have their characters evolve and unfold ahead.
As for the mixed reception:
I’d recommend to ignore the “Professional” reviews and look at the audience reviews.
If you look @ the audience reviews – You’ll see it currently holds a boastful 4.6 rating out of 5.
It’s been tremendously well received by both fans and newcomers alike.
Obviously it’s not going to be for everyone, but that could be said about anything really - as it stands, factually: The grand consensus is that the majority enjoy it.
Glad you are enjoying it. I am probably going to pick a month of D+ when the show is out and watch it all. I have heard that it really picks up in the later half.
I’m really behind on the times but I just watched “The Terror” on Netflix. Not sure how I missed it. Anyways, I really enjoyed it.
Besides the story being pretty good, it avoided a lot of things I’m getting fatigued with. Forced romance, nudity and torture for shock value, and everyone in the show from grandma to the 9-year old dropping the f bomb.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a prude and this show had plenty of gore. I’m just, like I said, tired of the above mentioned tropes that seem to be plaguing every new show and/or movie on platforms like HBO. Every time a child starts talking like a 45-year sailor, I just roll my eyes. It’s not even funny anymore.
