General TV Discussion and Thread for Shows Without A Thread Thread
OOTV doesnt like family comedies much huh? Raising Hope and The Middle are two of the best(possibly the best outside of NBC)comedies on tv yet no threads.
Just an observation.
Finished Squid Game 2
It went where one would assume it would go. They’ve got these beautiful sets built and they used them.
Every time they did a “vote” was excruciatingly long. We didn’t need to see every single vote.
The last episode nearly jumped the shark but they at least bought back some credulity with the end of season reveal.
All in all, it’s a good tease for Squid Game 3. Can’t wait
Last 2 episodes of Landman were very fun
Finished Day of the Jackal and while it was predictable, it was well done. The final episode also got me.
I liked the show too, but I thought the ending
Spoiler
was good and mildly surprising. I thought for sure the Bianca was gonna catch him/kill him. I was happily surprised when the Jackal unceremoniously got her. I like it when the "bad" guys get away some times.
American Primeval on Netflix. 7 episode Western directed by Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) and written/created by the guy who wrote the Revenant. Stars Taylor Kitsch (Riggins from Friday Night Lights) and Betty Gilpin from GLOW. It’s a journey tale through mid 19th century Utah - where it’s Mormons vs US Army vs Native tribes. A bunch of recognizable faces; good action and plot. I like Westerns and liked this. Not as good as Godless but still good.
Not great but I thought it was pretty good and a quick watch
New season of SAS:Rogue Heroes is out.

well, that couldn't happen bc

i read somewhere it's already approved for a second season, which is hard to do with a dead main character ;-)
Heard that Roadkill was canceled. I are sad. Always enjoyed the foolishness.
SAS looks over the top silly from that preview, are they at least self aware that they're taking the comic book approach or is it trying to be serious like this is how the army actually operates and stuff and hand waving away all the nonsense "they are just that good"?
ie is it more ant man or more bee keeper?
Im enjoying S2 of Squid Game, but it does feel tacked on after a great S1. Hopefully it ends with S3 this summer, but ofcourse it wont because money

S1 was a bit cheeky in a sort of a Guy Ritchie tone maybe. It does settle into a fairly standard historical drama but still has some flashes of silliness. I remember liking it quite a bit though tbf I dn't really recall all the specifics
Just rewatched S01. Does start off a bit like that, then gets more gritty/darker. Very fun show.
It's made by the guy who created Peaky Blinders and I can definitely see similarities in the style despite the very different setting.
great seasons final on silo. surprised how strong it ended.
Guess a lot of people are gonna pick up the books now
Yeah good ending and excited how it moves forward, but Common is still terrible.
And also Severance is so god damn back, immediately episode one absolutely killer

Interesting. I thought it was exactly the other way round.

Did you expect some sick twist, where Bianca would execute him and turn into the new Jackal, chasing down the backers and MI:6 people who crossed her? Otherwise they couldn't kill him off, same way they couldn't kill off Tony Soprano or Walter White before the final season.
I don't mind that they went with the obvious route but they could have set up the last episode in a way that didn't make it obvious before the Jackal/Bianca showdown that season 2 is going to be about the people in New York. That made Bianca expendable. I'm also not sure if I like that they went out of their way to make sure the audience understands that the Jackal chose family over job and lives while Bianca chose job over family and dies.

Spoiler
I didn't know there was another season scheduled. I try to know as little as possible about a show before watching it, even trying to not look at the episode list, so I don't even know when I'm on the last episode until it ends. Anything to maximize the drama/surprise/novelty. I thought the ending was going to be basically another "lone LEO solves case, ignores superiors, sacrifices home life for the job, kills the bad guy on their own and saves the day" type thing.
its very average but beautiful
kinda like a yellowstone without the ******ed soap opera

I hate lazy writing. Can never understand going through the ordeal to shoot stuff like this and not polish your script more.
Anyways, it's not terrible but SQ is right. A poor man's Yellowstone with a little John wick (being generous).
It's worth a watch. Not great but good. I'd watch a documentary about this era and the dynamics going on around SLC though for sure
