Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The final season of Jack Ryan was good, but a bit anticlimatic. It wasn't quite as large scale or epic as I expected, it almost feels like the show was supposed to continue but then they decided to just make this the final season and just end it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a very cozy show despite every single person being a small wreck, but I guess that's what makes it feel real. I've never worked at a restaurant but do remember a cook I used to date telling me how toxic the kitchen is, but it's Iike how they deal with the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Significantly better character development and “the dinner” episode definitely warrants the hype. God damn that was cringy and masterful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, just watched it. It definitely hit hard. I get along with my gfs mother better than she does, and her JLC looks just like her mom with that hairstyle. So the scene with the mom outside of the restaurant really hit me. This season was fantastic. FX has been low key killing it the past few years.

Still, even with the chaos, I laughed quite a bit and found myself either cheering or worrying about each character. Really great stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 409 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I also love Richies arch. Honestly, everyone on the show gets some good moments and a bit of focus. Also What we do in the Shadows is back as well. Tonight is the Gemstones. I remember the old days when there was nothing to watching during the summer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love the fights they have but still with love. I'm the newest member of my gfs family events, so I get along with everyone but have had to be a human buffer with her and her sisters before. So the last two episodes were kind of cathartic. Then Carms worries about a relationship vs job thing also felt close to home. I'm glad I waited for all eps to drop. Although it's a show I can't binge more than two eps at a time. They pack alot into an episode. Even when I dont identify with a character, I like them all so want the best for them lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Finished the first season of Lost. I thought I had watched most of this first season when it came out but I guess I only caught bits and pieces of it, because most of it felt new to me. This show is still seriously impressive nowadays The scale and ambition of the story in terms of how they present all of the characters and their backstories is something that even most show nowadays can't do due to time and money constraints. In fact its kind of unbelievable that ABC of all networks not only produced this but also let the creators go ahead with ~25 episode seasons. Anyway onwards to season 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,908 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 The Pilot for Lost is still one of the most incredible show openers ever. (Also, still one of the most expensive episodes of television ever made.) Just know there’s a bit of a drop off in the first half of season 3. Please let us know @Twinbladewhen you watch the season 3 finale. It’s my personal favorite season finale for a tv program ever. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah even though I feel like I was one of the few who skipped most of it originally I remember people saying it got progressively worse with time. I actually think I remember people on this very forum shitting on the show when it was still airing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually think I remember people on this very forum shitting on the show when it was still airing It changes things up as it goes on and goes a little more science fiction than some people liked I think. But the twists and revelations are still some of the best around. This show still has the my favorite moment in any show I’ve ever seen. Also, season 4 gave us one of the best episodes of television ever at the time. They definitely could have trimmed it down nowadays but they were under order for 24 episodes so we get filler sometimes. Also, you sick of Kate yet? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooke 2,030 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I start watching Secret Invasion, it's alright. But the intro sequence is fucking horrible, it looks so off like it's generated by AI. Googled it and yes it's an AI animation https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a44304539/secret-invasion-ai-opening-credits-reaction/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,908 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 This looks phenomenal. Always love new IP for sci-fi. Also it was announced today that Hans Zimmer is doing the soundtrack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
