RedEyedGhost Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Finished the last two episodes of season 3 of Killing Eve tonight. Not sure what the point of this season was... After that watched the first episode of Quiz. That was quite enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Had another pleasant experience watching Harley Quinn this weekend. Still surprised by this show. Also saw the season finale of Rick & Morty. Pretty disappointing in my view. Didn't like the place where it all ended. A bit of a letdown after the mostly excellent run of the past couple of weeks. Also finally had time to ponder The Great a little bit more. I have recommended it to a few people in the meantime so that is always a good sign. While I'm still not enamored by the season finale and find certain characters quite weak, I do love how defiantly this period show is about the present. To a certain extent all period drama's are about the present (e.g. the popularity of nostalgia drugs like Downton Abbey in the Brexit era), but The Great manages to turn that "vice" (for lack of a better word) into a virtue by just being so blatant about it.

Fez Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I watched the first couple episodes of Fortitude and I was not be impressed. It feels like a high-budget knock-off of a bunch of other, better shows. It does have a crazy good cast though. Has anyone watched it? Is it worth sticking with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luzifer's right hand Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Well I reached season 11 of the Simpsons. It is worse than I ever imagined. Season 3-8 was the peak I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why it's part of the show. Ok I figured it out. She's a Scranton Strangler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Starting watching 'the Dragon Prince' with my kid since we finished 'Avatar' (the real one, not the Cameron garbage). So far, it's pretty good for a kids show which makes sense given that the creator was the head writer on Avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I cherish my younger years, where they'd play two random episodes each day and they ended just before my parents got home. I wasn't allowed to watch the show. Muhahahahahaha!

Fez Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I gave Doom Patrol a shot, since I'm keeping that DC Universe subscription going until the season of Harley Quinn is done. I couldn't get into it though. Alan Tudyk was a lot of fun, and all the actors were doing a good job, but it just didn't click for me at all. Also watched the movie Tank Girl for the first time in 25 years. What a dumb, fun thing that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mention that. The AV Club recently kicked off a series of articles going through Pixar's filmography with this article which 100% agrees with you.

RumHam Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Just finished The Plot Against America. I should go dig up the thread but I thought it was great. Not really surprising coming from David Simon. Very timely too, I probably would have enjoyed it a little more if the future of american democracy wasn't up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the one seasonal episode I will watch. Outside of a few random episodes, I'm not sure I've watched much in at least 15 years, and that's probably being generous.

Nictarion Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Watched a South Korean horror movie from 2016 called The Wailing. Thought the title sounded familiar, but turned out I hadn’t seen it. Tad long, but really good. The ending was pretty crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithanos Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The Wailing is indeed really good. It remained with me for several days after the initial viewing. I think I posted about it a couple years back. And now, thanks to your post, I've forgotten what I originally came here to post about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
