Also War of the Worlds .. also from Canal+
On sbs on demand in Australia.. not sure where else
- Started INFINITI yesterday, one ep in. Great execution, good story too so far. But I hope the plot doesn't let me down.Longcopylover
- it won't.. it does get a bit esoteric but nothing that will disappoint.autoflavour
- I finished it yesterday and yes, it gets a bit esoteric, but not in a bad way. Good story and even better cinematography. I really liked it.Longcopylover

Started to watch 1899 today without reading any info about it, after 10 minutes I was like:
"Does this have something to do with Dark?!"
Same authors, which is okay, but does the music that's used in specific moments exactly like in Dark have to sound also almost the same?
After 20 minutes I can't recommend it, but I'll continue to watch as to be honest I like the setting, the style and the mystery.
We'll see.
- Good so far, 5 in. Let's see how its going to end.Wordsworth
- hope it ends better than Darkoey_oey
- It doesn't :)Wordsworth
- Did anyone watch the making of? The system they used to film it was super good. Wasn't super sure about the storyPhanLo
- Watched the first episode, like the setting and all, 10 minutes into the second. No. Am done with this drip, drip reveal type TV that never delivers at the end.webazoot

Normally not into teenshitshow but this one hit different.
- It's Ace. I watched it with a child of mine and was in awe of some of the technical achievements in lighting, camera work and soundtrack. There's a few short...Morning_star

96% on Rotten Tomatoes
Dinosaurs touched upon multiple topical issues, which include environmentalism, endangered species, women's rights, sexual harassment, LGBT rights, objectification of women, censorship, civil rights, body image, steroid use, allusions to masturbation (in the form of Robbie doing the solo mating dance), drug abuse, racism (in the form of a dispute between the two-legged dinosaurs and the four-legged dinosaurs), peer pressure, rights of indigenous peoples (in the form of the dinosaurs interacting with cavepeople), corporate crime, government interference in parenting, and pacifism.
In the episode "I Never Ate for My Father," in lieu of carnivorism, Robbie chooses to eat vegetables, and the other characters liken this to homosexuality, communism, drug abuse and counter culture.
In the final season, "The Greatest Story Ever Sold" (a take-off of The Greatest Story Ever Told) references religion when the Sinclair family becomes eager to learn the meaning of their existence. The Elders dictate a new system of beliefs, and the entire cast (with the exception of Robbie) abandons science to blindly follow the newly popular "Potato-ism".
Another religious-themed episode was "The Last Temptation of Ethyl," in which Ethyl willingly allows a televangelist to exploit her near-death experience to extort money from followers. She backs out after having a second such experience, where instead of heaven, she experiences a "place not so nice": an existence surrounded by nothing but multiple Earl Sneed Sinclairs.
The series finale of Dinosaurs, titled "Changing Nature", depicts the irresponsible actions of the dinosaurs toward their environment, and the ensuing Ice Age which leads to their demise. In the episode, a swarm of bunch beetles do not show up as expected to devour a form of creeper vine. Charlene discovers that a wax fruit factory called FruitCo has been constructed by Wesayso-controlled swampland that serves as the bunch beetles' breeding grounds, causing the extinction of the species (save for one male named Stan) who were killed off by the developers. Charlene and Stan make this information public on the news. After getting a phone call from his superiors at Wesayso who are fearing a public relations nightmare more than any environmental threat, B.P. Richfield quickly puts Earl in charge of an attempt to destroy the vines, which have grown out of control without the beetles to keep them in check. Earl proposes spraying the planet with defoliant which causes the destruction of the vines, but also kills off all plant life on the planet. B.P. Richfield assumes that the creation of clouds will bring rain, allowing the plants to grow back, and so decides to create clouds by dropping bombs in the planet's volcanoes to cause eruptions and cloud cover. The dark clouds instead cause global cooling, in the form of a gigantic cloud cover that scientists, the viewer learns, estimate would take "tens of thousands of years" to dissipate. When he gets a call from Earl, B.P. Richfield dismisses this as a "4th quarter problem" and states that Wesayso is currently making record-breaking profits from the cold weather selling blankets, heaters, and hot cocoa mix as the result of the "cold snap". Later, Earl apologizes to his family and Stan for his actions that led to the end of the world. Baby is reassured by Robbie and Charlene that whatever happens, nobody is going to leave and that they will all stay together. Earl tries to assure everyone that it will work out okay, saying that dinosaurs have been on this Earth for 150 million years and it is not like they are going to just disappear. There is a brief shot of the wax fruit factory as it starts to get buried in snow. At DNN, Howard Handupme states that the weather forecast is the same. He concludes his broadcast by saying, "This is Howard Handupme. Good night. Goodbye." The ending credits roll with scenes of snow falling around the Sinclair home, signaling the start of a volcanic/nuclear winter.
WOW!!!!
Must watch.

Sheeesh.Ramanisky2 - my buddy's 15 y/o daughter watched this and it scared the shit out of her as it should, so disturbing can't believe they allow this on Netflix where it's so..._niko

4/10 would not eat.palimpsest - Just finished it yesterday, packs a wallop, for sure. I like how in the last 4 or 5 episodes, they really focused on his impact on those around him and their...elahon
- stories. He kind of became an after-thought almost.elahon
- 1. His step mom is MOLLY FUCKING RINGWALD.
2. I struggled getting through it, the banality of his evil made me ill.BuddhaHat - ... and I say that as someone who read every word of the articles about him on crimelibrary.com back in the day.
PS. He deserved the death he got.BuddhaHat - I watched almost all the first episode, but switched it off as I just felt gross. Maybe I'll persevere, but I'm guessing it's not a happy ending? hahaIanbolton
- You could argue that no part of it save for his capture was happy. Guy was an absolute monster.BuddhaHat

- Too bad the canceled it after one short season and it they definitely didn't know it was ending when they made the last episode.CyBrainX
- Wasn't bad. Got about 4 episodes in when it got cancelled so we stopped.ArmandoEstrada
- I'd say it ended fairly well for a season finale. There was definitely a plot twist and few unanswered questions. I'd definitely finish watching.CyBrainX
