General TV Discussion and Thread for Shows Without A Thread Thread

He is the perfect main character for this show. Can't imagine someone else replacing his screen time.

Cause he just blends seemlessly from one scene into the next. Army Dr doesn't have that kind of presence swagger and neither does the new replacement head lady.

A perfect s3 start point would be Dr Robbie's first day back from a long time off.

I did think the stethoscope part was convincing though. That's a perfect potential foreshadowing moment.

Born to Bowl - A24 miniseries documentary airing on HBO max about PBA bowling. Only one episode so far but well done. Has the same narrator as Hard Knocks. Just a bunch of guys trying to chase their dream with little financial reward. I used to bowl and know a few guys that have been shown in the background, so I’m biased. But the reviews are good.

Liev Schreiber?

The animation from the Cowboy Bebop movie might be the best animation ever put to screen. So crisp and fluid

Would be great as Firefly but you are probably right that they will cut corners to save money in the current animation climate

how does Disney animation from 70 years ago look so good?

like how does something like that devolve?

A dollar buying less labor today than it did 70 years ago

and

Using CG to cheaply fill in gaps or outright replace animation all together

When the time and care is put into the animation its as good or better than ever

Star Trek was the same cast for almost 30 years between TOS and movies. People want to see the actors they know and love in those roles. I'll pass on an animated version.

The original series ended in 1969 and the first Star Trek movie with the original cast was 1979.

star trek 6 was in 1991

there was also last picture show in 1971 and its sequal texasville in 1990

they also just tried to do a Buffy the vampire slayer sequal. iirc that ended in 2003. but execs saw the pilot and cancelled it :(

A series of movies 3 years apart does not look at like another iteration a generation later.

I'm trying to rewatch breaking bad, and it does not hold up well.

the parts with white and Pinkman are fantastic, but the parts with the white family are horrible, unwatchable, have to skip over them. so like half of the show is so bad you have to skip over it.

also hank's partner, I think his name is Gomez? he's maybe the worst actor i've ever seen

Yeah, I remember when the show first came out everyone loved Skylar and Billy

Hand drawn cells by true artists and 24 frames per second.

Devolves through lesser framerate, sloppy drawing and in the last 20 years, computer animation and the perceived need to cut costs and get it out fast.

One of the most funny shows of the last few years is back with season 2 today: Jury Duty.

First season was fantastic, seems like the second is getting great reviews.

Im also getting through Peaky Blinders for the first time. Its good, but i expected more based on the hype its gotten. Cillian Murphy is amazing though. On to Season 4 now.

Peaky was too much of the same thing. It’s fine, (elite by Netflix standards) but thats about it. I will watch the movie though.

Where do we think DTF is headed?

I think it was:

But have heard some theories that it could be:

I’m good with any and all possibilities. It’s such a weird but great show. I was already in before finding out that it’s from the creator of Patriot, which is one of my favorite short lived shows.

My money is on the kid did it

Yes. Still can’t believe that’s him and I still forget

I was hooked from the premier. Weird and great is the best description

I just finished it and loved it . The writing was phenomenal and I thought Kurt Russell was really good sad that it was only 6 episodes

Agreed on the hot woman but I'm sure the ladies feel the same way about men

So far off from what he has produced in the past

It has an absurdity element like a Tim Robinson bit, but with so damn much heart that you don’t realize it. It’s so good at these singular moments that stick with you, for various reasons.

And yeah, after that milk incident…. I’m changing my prediction lol

I very much want to go smash some milk right now.
