The Official, Long Awaited, TV Shows Thread

The Haunting of Hill House. So, so good! The episodes are interesting from beginning to end. Nothing feels like a filler. The photography is very detailed and exquisite, as well.

I don't know why but I feel very connected to the characters. Maybe it's just because it's so well done, IMO.

If you like horror stuff, it's a must. Even if you don't, but you would like to watch a cohesive show with a good story and good actors, it's a good choice.

Well, I guess I have to wait until I finish watching it, but something tells me my opinion won't change.

Yes it is, fantastic from start to finish. Sometimes filling the history of a family during the show can be tiresome but each journey back into their past was enlightening, succinct and progressed the story.

alternate history; what if the ussr beat the usa to land people on the moon?

I just started and I'm two episodes in. I've not read the comic, nor seen the previous TV show, but I have seen the movie. I have no idea what is going on. Literally none. But it's great. So good. But WTF. All the time, WTF. But so good. :runaway:

So you have watched the movie but the TV show is still interesting and engrossing ? Maybe I should watch it.
 
I'll watch it, but only after all episodes air, so I can binge through it.

A degree of it is my desire to find out what the hell is going. It's teasingly evasive in many areas, pulling you along with a wild ride.

Just finished good omens liked it a lot but the ending was crap
while not a comedy it was very light hearted I was hoping for something much darker.

Being a huge fan of the book, which I've read many times, I was disappointed by the TV adaptation of Good Omens. This is the trick with books, you have an idea - a general tone - in your head then a director portrays it differently. The ending in the book feels significantly more dramatic and it's kind of ironic that the anti-Christ has an anti-climatic ending in the TV series. So much for infallibility!

I'm also watch the Mandalorian, with overall I am really liking. But the main character..

It was a brave choice to have a spin-off with a character who always wears a helmet, where you can't see his face, his voice is muted because of the helmet, and his body movements are controlled so overall you can infer very little emotion from him - you just have to watch and infer emotion and motives from actions. It's not bad, but definitely a brave choice.

His 'cohort' though. So good. Best non-speaking cohort ever, he (or is it she?) steals every scene they are in. So good. :yes:

Apparently its a rip-off of Shogun Assassin

I've no idea of any parallels with the Mandalorian - only really into the original trilogy, not the expanded universe or prequel/sequel trilogies - but I really want to see Shogun Assassin now. There's a certain sort of aesthetic to 70's and 80's films that I love. And obviously, anything Samurai related is immediately of interest.

It''s thematically similar off the bat; bad-arse protagonist roaming and getting into scrapes while using his combat prowess to do good. Then there is the kid thing. I mean several shots of him pushing a kid in a pram.

That's really what hit home for me. I mean come on, it's exactly like...

The Chronicles of Baby Yoda: the Mandalorian saga
 
So for Crisis on Infinite Earths if I only watch Flash right now I have to start with Supergirl, then Batwoman, then the new Flash tonight and whatever follows? And is watching Silent Bob yelling about it worth that show?
 
I watched the first episode of Watchmen. It didn't grab me, just yet. I'll eventually watch it all, but it didn't draw me in.

I watched the first episode of His Dark Materials, then followed it with the next 3 episodes. It drew me in.
