There is a tonal shift around eps 3 and 4. It’s still entertaining, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was just a bit jarring, at first, but it’s coming full circle (that’s a great thing). Remy mentioned the shift, as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck Yes! 3 hours ago, -GD-X said: @madmaltese The Diplomat makes a great first impression. Some reviews didn’t sell it well (nothing negative, but they made it seem lighter in tone). I’m glad you mentioned it and gave it a thumb up. And damn, Keri is still so gorgeous (age 47). It only gets better and better with each episode too. I was ready to tell you to stick it out if you thought the start was a little slow or light but if you're enjoying it already you're gonna love it by the end. Keri Russell is legit ageless.

But I thought Black Mirror was supposed to be sci fi and have a lot to do with our relationship with technology? And if it wasn’t sci fi it was at least plausible situations… EPS 4 and 5 went full on fantasy, and I do like them, but it just threw me off. Okay I completely take away what I previously said. Watched ep4. WTF was that. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if I want that though, there's plenty of horror shows around and even more horror anthology kind of shows but nothing like what BM usually is. What made Black Mirror so good was that touch of realism and dystopian future element where the horror came out in the fact that all this stuff isn't really that much of a far cry from a future reality. The turn in ep4 was a massive let down in direction. I'd say it's easily the worst BM episode ever. Still have eps 3 and 5 to watch (had to skip 3 due to length). I enjoyed ep2 for what it was but even that wasn't really Black Mirror material imo but at least it had a touch on the True Crime doco genre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 All caught up on Silo. The last 2 eps were very good. But the first 3 are still my favorites. And the middle eps (4,5,6) were ok, but the weakest overall. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So if the series gets renewed (fingers crossed) they'll have a lot of material to pull from for subsequent seasons. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,746 Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 Watched Asteroid City. That was one weird, yet charming, flick. I’m not a fan of Wes Anderson, but this one worked for me. Its aesthetic immersed me in its surreal world. I definitely dug the nod to classic cinema with its 2D backdrops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,746 Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 God damn, that last revelation in the From finale gave me chills. It reminded me of the Spoiler Flash forward in Lost’s season 3 finale. This is definitely the spiritual successor to Lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
