TV Shows - General Discussion

Does anyone remember the Starship Troopres animation called "Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles" it was the best thing ever when growing up. I watched it before school and Pokemon

Just started The Boys and apparently there's some controversy

While I think the vicious lampooning of Conservative culture has always been obvious, it's not like the show totally lets Libs off the hook.

Vought isn't just making fun of Fox News. It's also literally The Walt Disney Company, liberals' favorite multinational corporation. And this was my face when they revealed that their Alexandria Ocasio Cortez character wasn't a leftist. She's controlled opposition for the Corpo-Capitalist Elite:

I do think that The Boys is starting to overstay its welcome. But it sort of works as part of the parody. Because you know what else has absolutely overstayed its welcome: fucking Marvel.

I honestly enjoyed Gen V more than I liked the third season of The Boys. But we'll see how this newest season pans out.

Agree with all of this and while I was looking forward to this season I was a bit nervous about it being the same old stuff. I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes and I hope they can maintain it for this season and the next. It made me genuinely happy to hear the show runner or whoever confirm that the 5th season will be the last so there's hope they have a plan and it won't go stale.

I only watched the first one but yeah I was also nervous. But by the end I was like "yeah, there's still a little more juice left to squeeze out of this concept"

"Eye for an eye's in the Jew Part of the Bible, but it's still the Bible "

I'm glad to hear they're bringing it to a close. I'd like for it to leave on a high note. IMO, The Vought Cinematic Universe>Marvel

Folks.... Vought went woke

 

[Rodney]

Finished watching Billy The Kid and it was a decent series imo and now watching series 3 of Mayor Of Kingstown and it is the best series I seen in a while, reminds me of Oz.

 

[florduh]

Yo..... both Fallout and 3 Body Problem got Emmy nominations for Best Drama series!

Nerds rise up! No more of this Downtown Abbey bullshit!

Scavengers Reign is nominated for Best Animated Series.

And my man Walter Goggins got a best actor nomination for Fallout.

 

[Rodney]

I just watched a series called Quarry about a Vietnam vet who comes home and gets into all sorts of trouble. Is so so amazing.

 

[Shit Snacks]

Scavengers Reign is nominated for Best Animated Series.

Wow I wonder if there is still a chance they could revive it for another season then... Wonder how well it has been doing for Netflix instead of Max now

Oh yeah I've been meaning to watch this one for a while, shame it was canceled and only had one season though, as a result I procrastinated watching it even though I know I will enjoy it based on other similar style series lol good producers

Somebody will pick it up now for sure I'd assume. Show pairs perfectly with cannabis too

I haven't gotten to start it yet, however it's not that simple, unfortunately, still tough

I'm only about halfway through, but it's surprisingly good.

Also, it looks like I'm gonna need to do a Veep re-watch soon.

One of the most GOAT'd comedies ever.

 

[olysh pops]

Thank you for introducing me to the Scavengers Reign series, the story is captivating, what imagination in creating the places and beings ! the scenario is full of surprises and I like the clean style of the drawing

 

[florduh]

For no reason in particular, I keep thinking of the scene from Veep where Selina gets turned in for war crimes

The early seasons have a very 2010's vibe to them. But this show still holds up very well

 

[CANtalk]

Yes, HBO’s ‘The Penguin’ Is As Good As Reviews Say

The Penguin is far removed from anything resembling actual superheroism, a pure mob drama that deals with the aftermath of the events of Riddler flooding Gotham

If you haven't seen this movie, it's a certified banger

The best way I can describe it is, imagine if a Marvel movie was as clever as it thought it was. Genuinely funny and charming movie. I hope its newfound success means the series will continue.

Yeah it was a fun one, the new season of vox machina on prime is great of course too

 

[florduh]

It's coming back in January and using "Return to Office" as their tagline is hilarious.

 

[Rodney]

I just finished gangs of London and was decent then watched Jamestown and was ok at times but at other times not so good and not the best ending.

Now watching Slow Horses the new series and totally in love with this show.

 

[Rodney]

Finished slow Horses then watched Wolf Hall - both amazing series. Now watching The Tudors.

Slow Horses is great. Still need to watch Season 4 and then I’ll finally watch the Penguin.

Both great! Very well done, new classics

Haven't watched the Penguin yet but I do enjoy their pro-Costco content
