General TV Discussion and Thread for Shows Without A Thread Thread

Xmen 97 just wrapped up the GOAT animated superhero season.

I guess I'm going to give this a shot, but man, I really disliked the book. And it is right in my wheelhouse, I should have loved it.

Everyone was raving about it and, after reading it, I remember telling my wife that the book reads like the author wanted to make a movie so he wrote a Dark Matter screenplay. He didn't have success getting the movie made so converted the screenplay into a novel.

It was a weird experience reading Dark Matter. It really felt like it didn't want to be a book and it was necessary step to getting a movie (or tv show) produced.

I'm obviously not saying this happened, it's just the impression the novel left me with.

Outer Range season 1 was elite...looking forward to season 2

Dark Matter is decent so far...I was kind of annoyed that Joel 1 wasn't asking more questions about the box and telling the scientists how he weas kidnapped and drugged.

Watched the Traitors marathon over the weekend. Very impressive, reminded me of Survivor back when it was good.

Too bad the first-run episodes are on that stupid Peacock network.

Redid Outer Ranger S1 to be able to do S2. Man that would have been tough to watch without redoing.

S1 was so freaking good.

surprised to see this re: Outer Range, but the posts below are more like it. Loved S1 and excited to watch S2.

i really liked s1 outer range didnt realise s2 was out already gonna start it tonight

S2 of Outer Range is blowing my mind. Better than S1...

I thought this was going to be sufficient too. Glad the wife talked me into the full rewatch.

Outer Range is a vibe. You almost need that vibe going right into S2 or it loses so much of what it is meant to be.

I started watching the Outer Range after having avoided it thinking it was like Yellowstone.

Kinda crazy how entertaining it is for a show where nothing happens. A lot of really unpleasant people too.

Somehow still good.

Like I said, it's a vibe. That show is all mood, and they nail it.

Yeah every scene is just tense.

Yeah in S2 there are some scenes where I think a good editor doesn't let them make the final cut. In some spots they get a lil funky.

I find edibles help this show a lot. Fun living in a country where we just walk into a store and buy them like milk or bread, ahaha.

me and the wife quite enjoyed outer range and really hope it gets another season.

sorry if it's been mentioned and I missed it but has anyone watched the Lazarus project?
I'm not generally big on regular network shows like TNT but I am a sucker for time travel plots.

it was cancelled after it's 2nd season but the big bang theory and 2.5men got a million seasons so I don't give that very much credence.

Season 2 of Outer Range was good. Not better than the first IMO. Gonna have to watch some youtube theory videos.

if you find any interesting theories please post a link.

I saw an interesting comment about all the names having a deeper meaning.

awesome very interesting ty

now netflix seems to have only tentatively renewed it for "additional episodes", which might mean just 4-8 more eps to wrap up the series. their announcement was extremely vague, i don't think they even really know yet. which means they could just end up canceling it altogether. but it seems unlikely now that it will get 4 full seasons like they originally hoped.

Hmm, A book an episode? Now that should be action packed (lol)!

Sigh. smh

I guess it's still better than outright cancelling it. On 2nd thought, it doesn't matter to me, I'm in the reservation queue for the books at my local library.

Maybe the episodes are unpredictably changing relative to each other.

Seems extremely unlikely they are cancelling it after the announcement of going to see the conclusion of the books. Doing another 3 seasons would have meant >$500mil in financial commitment which seemed unlikely anyway with the viewing numbers.

:shocked:
