Just started watching this series called Breaking Bad...anyone heard of it?
- Walter White is kind of a dick for most of it. Good show tho'BuddhaHat
- It’s terrible.. don’t waste your time.Ramanisky2
- they brought the white undie back in fashionpango
- it's tight, tight, tight_niko
- Good show, BCS is better.garbage
- a flying pizza is the climax of that series, only goes down from there.sted
- Never seen itdmay
- JESSE TOUCH MEmilfhunter
- i only know it from dis meme template
https://www.youtube.…milfhunter - Only watched the first episode, maybe one day...Wordsworth
- I just watched BCS not BB at all and I'm satisfied.Beeswax
- I never really like the show, I could not get into it.utopian
- @utopian reversed notes :Dsted
- It doesn't sound very good.Nairn
- A guy told me it was "peak television" and I was like yea rite, I seriously doubt it. Then I watched two episodes and was hooked.cherub
- YupYakuZoku
- It's funny, it's stupid, it's incredibly entertaining mostly all the way through.jagara

I used to be super active on qbn in the 2000s! Then I saw this thread, and I launched a show this week. So I thought it was appropriate.
Hope ya'll are well.
- Congrats man! Good luck with it.Hayzilla
- Congrats, please elaborate...Are you the producer, creator or are you in the show?utopian
- Holy shit that’s great!nb
- Congrats! Looks like he's the guy in the show w/ his wife - all the best...whatthefunk
- Sick. Should have gone with "Road Trip Money Pit".garbage
- Nice!GuyFawkes
- I just got a a budget for my docu series pilot. I'd love to know more about this project and your journey.shellie
- I just watched an episode. Very fascinating but then noticed the pathetic number of people making comments on YouTube about ghosts and haunting.CyBrainX
- Gardener10
I re-watched recently, it still stands up
- I watched this last year. I couldn't have been more impressed.CyBrainX
- yep this is decentfaxion
- Loved the direction and storytelling but the only sore spot for me was Sonoya Mizuno’s acting. She’s was by far the weakest of the cast. Still enjoyed this one.Ramanisky2
- Watching this really slow; really nice, dark sci-fi feel to it. Nothing quite like it AND Offerman is wicked.ideaist
- hulu,milfhunter
- I enjoyed the concept and the story, but struggled with just how poor the lead actress was. Has anyone rewatched and would they say that's as bad as I remember?Wolfboy
- Wolfboy... I felt exactly the same ..
^ check out my note.Ramanisky2 - ^ Me too. Sonoya Mizuno was a bit wooden. Better cast as a beautiful robot in Ex Machina, perhaps.MrT
- https://www.vgtnyc.c…vgtnyc
- loved it. kinda hated the dialogue tho, just constant swearing for some reason, trying hard to inject immediacyinteliboy
- I couldn't get past the first episode. It was all woo woo so mysterious, aren't we just so strange and secretive.skinny_puppy
- I think about this show from time to time, thoroughly enjoyed.Vandal7
- nb7
- Right you areMrT
- Cheers is better than Friends. Frasier is better than Cheers.DRIFTMONKEY
- +helloeatbreathedrive
- And Seinfeld?Chimp
- Niles trying to press his trousers was hands-down the best physical comedy in the modern TV era.Continuity
- Zero laughs given.calculator
- Getting Leukemia is funnier than Friends.face_melter
- Oh baby I hear the blues a calling tossed salads and scrambled eggs, oh my, oh of I seem a bit confused well baby I got you peggednb
- But I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggsnb
- I always thought it was overrated as it won every Emmy in the 90s. King of Queens was a better show in my opinion...and not appreciated enoughdkoblesky
- of course.fadein11
- I watched it back in the day after work when I got my first design gig. My Wife and I started watching again since covid hit. Funny show.aliastime
- always remembered this line; "Audrey, you borrowed the dress, you tore it. As an old Greek haberdasher once said: "Euripedes, Eumenides."_niko
- Frasier's a bit like Third Rock... - it's great until the suspension of belief lifts for a second and you realise how hackneyed and paint by numbers it all isNairn
- (both are series I really enjoy/ed - I just had to take a decade or two off them before I forgot what I'd noticed. Watched both again fairly recently)Nairn
- Seinfeld > Frasier > All other shows ever > TIE between Big Band Theory / Friends as worst show in history of man/woman/person IMO.ideaist
- Fuck, I hated TBBT. I made me cringe, see red, then want to commit genocide.
And leading with The fucking Barenaked Ladies after the cold open ...Continuity - ... didn't help one bit, either.Continuity
- Yeah +1 ideaistDRIFTMONKEY
- Cheer was better than Frasier. So was Seinfeld. Big Bang Theory was usually very good. Friends is probably the most overrated show of all time.CyBrainX
- I'm convinced people have been taken in by three supermodels enough to overlook how painfully dorked those three male characters are. The show has no laughs.CyBrainX
- sted8
it is on.
- Yep.Wordsworth
- That escape sequence was almost frame by frame from the game. Promising so far.thumb_screws
- Excellent Pilot Ep. The first 20-30 min were so intense. Just great all around.Ramanisky2
- Yes yes yes!!! Just watched it, very exited about this one!!jagara
- Ellie is so well cast. A scary 12 year old girl.jagara
- ooft, well - best get some wet wipes and a new pair of shorts, jagara.Nairn
- awe yeah!YakuZoku
- good acting and writing, looking forward to the rest. wasn't so keen on those weird alien tentacle mouth things though - Hollywood just cant help themselvesinteliboy
- Loved the first episode, looking forward to the rest of this!Akagiyama
- Quite enjoyed first episode. Never played the game so don't know what to expectPhanLo
- Might as well play the game.robthelad
- Yes, playing the game will be a much better experience.crazyprick
- @Nairn because you know the game and all her murders? So do I ;)jagara
- it's funny the video game creators idea of a girl vs a real life girl._niko
- Of all the things ever based on video games, this is probably the only good example.CyBrainX
- BuddhaHat5
Seems to have been bagged by a bunch of reviewers but I just finished the last episode (#6) and I thought it was a pretty satisfying story all up. Jodie Foster was good, and the supporting cast had some great performances. Saying anything more risks spoilers so I'll leave it at that.
- Apart from the polar bear it was awful. A narrative shambles, so full of holes and unnecessary exposition. Really, really disappointing. The actors seems to...Morning_star
- ...constantly struggle with shallow and incomprehensible characters. It's worse than season 2. Utter fucking toilet water.Morning_star
- ^ that's the kind of review I was referring toBuddhaHat
- +1 MorningstarWordsworth
- You're welcome.Morning_star
- 9.8 for the polar bear
7.3 for the storymilfhunter - I watched it, I liked itprophetone
- Enjoyed it. Not the best but certainly not as bad as Season 2.
Season 1 is still the gold standard.Ramanisky2 - Watchable, its ok-good. But not much.HAL9001
- It's time to stop. They tried three times and they failed miserably. Nothing can touch season 1.crazyprick
- Was fun; good NOT great. I love Jodie / she can do no wrong.ideaist
- Couldn't stand it... +1 Morning_starJrdntnnr
- So much wrong with it. But I had to watch it. +1 for the cleaning crew seal team six.wagshaft
- lolprophetone
- am I the only person that liked season 2?DaveO
- I didn't mind season 2. There were too many narrative threads, could of been tightened up.thumb_screws
- The ending this season felt rushed.thumb_screws
- This shit was so bad. Shoehorning culture shit. “Should she get an eskimo chin tattoo?” Every woman is like an old dyke that also screws worthless dudes. Yawn.cannonball1978
- Season 4 was so beautifully shot, it was worth it for that.mort_

- we barely knew ye_niko
- BooGuyFawkes
- Such bullshit. Love the anime AND the live TV show. Eat a bag of dicks, Netflix. :(Akagiyama
- not enough people watched it.inteliboy
- brutal though. no room to build a fanbase.inteliboy
- I've bee only watching one episode at a time to not waste it.. and now this!SlashPeckham
- Remember it's a business, not a fan service.Wordsworth
- I don't know this show but Netflix cancels everything. They want you to keep looking for a new show to watch to replace the ones they canceled.CyBrainX
- HeavyBrabo_Brabo
- what?! I wanted to start to watch it yesterday...it looks so good. damn it!oey_oey
- another reason to use torrent streamersBeeswax
- It’s kind of a niche thing imo. Not as universal as say, mandalorianscarabin
- its boring brodoesnotexist
- Let’s be honest. It wasn’t very good past the excitement of the first 2 eps. They miffed up some big charactersnoRGB

Season 1 is close to perfect
- rewatched them about 6 months ago and S1 is truly incredible.thumb_screws
- I would've been fine with it if they had only done the first season, it's impossible to top it.BuddhaHat
- liked it!milfhunter
- It's all one ghetto, man. Giant gutter in outer space.neverscared
- just rewatched this a couple of weeks ago. it's easy to forget how really great s1 was.
here's to hoping s4 is decent.MrAbominable - I thought season 3 was very good too.CyBrainX
- All seasons were good; 1 was great AND really sucked me in probably more than any drama ever.ideaist
- S1 is a hilarious buddy cop venture. It gets a little weird when you know that Rust is essentially Nic writing himself as a hero.garbage
- But still, 9/10 for S1.garbage

Yo - trying to decide on a new one to watch once a week with my wife. Something darker, espionage, thriller, murder investigation, etc.
Debating between:
- The Americans
- Broadchurch
- what else?- Also considering Friday Night Lights but might watch that on my own.mg33
- Friday Night Lights so so good. If you havent seen The Night Of ... that will check most of your boxes. 10 eps.ridg0026
- The Undoing on HBORamanisky2
- check out The Undoing on HBO, yeah. Very solid. At first you think it's gonna be this then it shift to that and it's very good.Bennn
- AMERICANStank02
- Fargo?robotinc
- Luther was probably my favourite thriller from the last few years. I mean, come on: Idris Elba.
That said, Broadchurch was also very good.Continuity - I also enjoyed Marcella and River, though I don't know if they're on any of the streaming services anymore.Continuity
- Spiral, the French series from a few years ago.face_melter
- +1 for Luther.greyandred
- The Night Of - HBO thing from a few years back with riz ahmed and john turturrowoowahesque
- DARK on netflix... murder investigation, grim, amazing acting AND weirdness....
it's got it all, baby :)exador1 - Happy Valley. Made me cry at the end.https://www.yout...Longcopylover

- By alberto mielgo and pinkmanTV.
No motion capture, keyframe animation.
Same team that did the episode "The Witness" in season one.ApeRobot - He did the Windshield wiper short.
And he did Watch Dogs cinematic trailer.ApeRobot - Did alot for spiderman multiverse lookdev.ApeRobot
- He got an amazing team with him.ApeRobot
- Apebot... that dancing and the physics of the jewelry...no way that wasn’t motion capture, how can you possibly keyframe all that motion and action?_niko
- The movement was properly magical.PhanLo
- Here's some BTS from the choreographer https://www.instagra… she had another vid but it seems to have disappearedPhanLo
- Ty!grafician
- That was. Craaazy. One of the most interesting and visually stunning films I’ve seen in a while. The render power needed for such an episode I can’t imagine.NBQ00
- My fav of this series was the mini zombies. Fantastic!Hayzilla
- The sound and camera work on this one were fantastic.CyBrainX
- The one before it with the mechanical spiders that killed everyone was so painfully stupid. One stupid mistake after another. Yes, it looked good but, seriouslyCyBrainX
- Morning_star8
- and Michael Keaton is so good in this.Ramanisky2
- He certainly is. Also Will Poulter, Katlyn Dever, Peter Sarsgaard and Michael Stuhlbarg really great performances. Direction is cool too.Morning_star

- @mono, in the UK yes. Not sure about you cats in the States.Morning_star
- On Disney+ in Canada. It's a 'Stars' series. I had to create a different profile with mature content, as I only ever used Disney+ for kids stuff prior to this.monNom

- Super series. And story told in 7 episodes is fantastic.stoplying
- love it tooGardener
- interesting that it was written in '83 by Tevis who also wrote the hustler and the color of money._niko
- I also think it was one of the best series in a long time, loved it BUT SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
One thing bugged me after the fact. When she goes back to the school_niko - and goes into the basement and sees her shrine etc and says she still owed the janitor $10. How was it that she wrote to him, asked him for the $5 entry fee_niko
- went on to win and not think to pay him back or at least write him back? after every success and every tournament win, not so much as a hi? thought about him_niko
- constantly during her games but never once thought to go and see him, or at least keep writing? Everything she had she owed to him really._niko
- @niko I thought that was quite consistent with the behaviour of an addict.mort_
- @niko I hear you. Thought it too. But she is an addict, alone in the world, with a fair helping of Autism. Keeping up with pen pals probably goes by the waysideHayzilla

- Highly recommend it. Great series so far.confluence
- wooden actorCygnusZero4
- Best show out imofyoucher1
- I can't get over Mark Gatiss. He makes the whole show like a League of Gentleman comedy for me. Still amazing though.Ianbolton
- Great darma, Well worth a watch, Tom is great in it.wheelBoy
- a little slow off the bat but getting really interestingRamanisky2
- Whats with Toms grunts? I hated Mad Max and his grunts made it even worse for me. It seems its his new acting thing. Hurrrrrrrrnnn.ArmandoEstrada
- HAL90015
- just watched some videos of her, her voice greatly degraded in the last year or so, thats crazy. It's unbearable in Poker Face.HAL9001
- Thought it was pretty decent, also just finished Russian Doll, but think I preferred Poker FacePhanLo
- Poker Face was nice but Russian Doll was fantastic. She was good in Orange Is the New Black but that show jumped the shark.CyBrainX
- Keep in mind that this show is a bit of a tribute to Columbo, and she's playing Peter Falk's character.noneck
- Have binge-watched Russian Doll twice. Poker Face is good too. Dig her voice.skinny_puppy
- Fun series, she is adorable.Wordsworth
- You cant dig her voice. Her voice diggs youHAL9001
- Columbo Incarnatemisterhow
- Russian Doll s1 was great, not so much s2. I like her voice but she tends to play the same character (herself) in everything.i_monk
- I can't stand that actor. Will not watch.HAYZ1LLLA

Start this last night. Anyone else getting into it?
- Yep. Good stuff. I hope we find out what his endgame was.lemmy_k
- Only 2 episodes in...Ianbolton
- LOVE this showdopepope
- The static tv quantum Jesus lookback thingy was a bit shit. Didn’t get past that.mort_
- 1 Ep to go. Hope they can put together a solid ending. But really good so far.Ramanisky2
- my main gripe is that the female leads acting chops are a bit weak when compared to the rest of the cast.Ramanisky2
- Literally binge watched all episodes yesterday, waiting season finale next week, good stuffdrgs
- It's slow...cool premise though although like Ram said some of the acting sucks. The lead gal is meh... but Alison Pill is great (love her in whatever she's in)PonyBoy
