    • 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

    Better than Friends, am I right or am I right

    • 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

    • You're welcome.Morning_star
    • 9.8 for the polar bear

    • 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

    • 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_

    Season 1 is close to perfect

      here's to hoping s4 is decent.

    • 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.

    • I also enjoyed Marcella and River, though I don't know if they're on any of the streaming services anymore.Continuity

    • The Night Of - HBO thing from a few years back with riz ahmed and john turturrowoowahesque

      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

    • 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
