Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Watched the first few episodes of La Revolution on netflix. Its actually pretty entertaining. The production values are top notch for a foreign show, and the alt history storyline is definitely interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 I watched Grand Army, since I read a great review. It’s basically a dollar store Euphoria, and its big mystery is soooo fucking lame and predictable. Some good/great parts, but it’s uneven, ruining some of its social messages.

-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Ratched is boring. Visually striking...but not good. And I’m usually quite forgiving with Ryan Murphy’s stuff. Oh well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 For Lovecraft fans, go into the finale with low expectations. It’s not terrible. It’s just a satisfactory bookend. There was potential for so many epic things, but it settled for safe and simple. I’d give it a 7/10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the actor who plays Tic is pretty bad as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 If anybody hasn't truly sat down and watched BBC's Top Gear when the show was at its peak, just watch one of their best specials, if not their best. Somebody uploading the whole thing on their youtube channel and it hasn't been deleted yet. Its just damn good television. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The North Pole episode is one of my favorites. Been watching these guys for over a decade. Apparently, Amazon has been sitting on a new Madagascar special for Grand Tour for some time and won't released it yet for whatever reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Bly just isn't for everyone I think. It's a slow burner show much like The Outsider was. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy slow burner shows. This just isn't hitting me like Hill House did. I'll forgive the fact that it's not horror despite the fact that it has the word "Haunting" in its title. I just don't care about any character and I'm half way through the season already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 2 eps into Bly and loving it so far. Horror is best as a slow burn imo. Nearly every horror medium loses it's tension the second everything is revealed so loving the slow build up on this season. Production values and writing still top notch.
