Ike★ 2,906 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 My only critique of Devs is the performances. They’re definitely a mixed bag, and I think a stronger cast could’ve brought up a really well written script. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Am really interested in this. I was thinking that Showtime was probably on their way out because they were cancelling shows like Ray Donovan, and Shameless is ending. But, they brought back Penny Dreadful (but I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't extend it after this season). They had a second season of Black Monday (but its future prospects are also dim). But this show coming in August looks really cool. Old Ethan Hawke is suddenly becoming more in-your-face and crazy. I think its fucking awesome to see him doing more over-the-top acting roles, like as if he's starting to realize that he can ham it up and have more-commanding performances. Ho-ho-hoooly shit. I like this Ethan Hawke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also how good was the rooftop scene where the characters do their swap and completely fool the police? That was one of my favorite moments in the series. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The whole “plan” was amazing! And yup, the pacing is incredible! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I finished Devs last night. It definitely was really well written sci-fi with some beautiful shots. I definitely think it’s very similar in themes and philosophy to Westworld season 3 and does it more successfully. It’s definitely a slow burn show, but you’ll probably just want to finish it one go since most episodes average around 45 minutes over 8 episodes. If you’re a fan of Alex Garland, you should watch it. He wrote and directed the entire 8 episode run. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaz 2,439 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 sounds like mass effect on crack. my fav track from 2019. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Fantastic Rick and Morty tonight. Just a nice self-contained episode that was hilarious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Started watching Fauda on Netflix, Its like an israeli version of Homeland. Its actually pretty well made and a mostly unbiased depiction of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in that part of the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Couldn’t decide on what to watch so just settled on watching all of The Twilight Zone. I’ve seen most of the good ones but just going to watch it through. It’s insane that this is 50 years old. Such amazing television for the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I dare you guys to watch episodes of The Andy Griffith show. I am watching them on sundance television (usually late at night). That show can actually be funny. Not only that, but Andy is always fucking with everybody in town. Not just Barney. They had this episode where there was this guy was a door to door salesman, and he's terrible because he actually tries to dissuade people from buying his stuff. So Andy allows him to stop walking door to door, and just setup his wares on a bench on the sidewalk. And the local store owner, Mr. Weaver, is a cranky old bastard. And he starts barking to Andy that he can't sell his stuff on the sidewalk, as per law. So, Andy gets an idea and starts smiling. And they help the salesman with a table off in a few behind the sidewalk in between buildings. Cranky ol' Mr. Weaver starts complaining that he is not a real store because the law requires that it have a roof. So Andy and Barney get him an umbrella. And Cranky Ol' Mr. Weaver says that ain't a real roof, it has to be part of a building structure. So Andy and Barney build him a basic wooden structure. And the old bastard just keeps on getting madder and madder. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
