Dropped Midnight studio (left) and decided to read recaps instead. I actually soldiered on with Now, it's Showtime and I want my time back, even if I fast forwarded and skipped a lot of scenes 😅 Too many filler scenes, uneven story telling which didn't manage the comedy and angst well. And worse of all, boring 😅. With Midnight Studio I got bored by the 4th ep because I just knew where the story was going, and judging by the recaps I was right.
Ever since 'Scavengers Reign' moved to #Netflix I keep seeing everywhere posts raving about how mind-bendingly awesome it is, and I couldn't be happier. I really hope Netflix takes note and treats this fantastic #scifi show better than HBO did.
These are the #Kdramas and #Cdramas that I plan to catch up with this year. I have a feeling I may end up dropping The Legends, because I have very little patience for xianxia, but since it stars Xu Kai maybe I'll give it more of a chance :P
@liztai It is fascinating to me how dramas that become ‘special’ to me emerge. Such alchemy!
Example: I’m watching a ‘typical’ time-slip murder-mystery kdrama called My Perfect Stranger on Viki. Low budget. 16 episodes. No hype. Good acting chemistry but not spectacular. But somehow the script is very strong (same writer behind Tale of Nokdu). And I still can’t predict whodunnit and am nearly finished! Addictive!
All six seasons of "Lost" are arriving on Netflix in the U.S. on July 1 — that's 121 episodes, from the pilot to the divisive finale. Total Film's Emily Garbutt says that some fans are lobbying for a re-evaulation of the final twist. She quotes one: "My firm stance remains that 'Lost' is good and the finale is great and haters will be welcomed with open arms on the right side of history after they reevaluate." Time for the big question: 14 years after it aired, what are your thoughts on the finale of "Lost?"
27% of respondents to this poll are steadfast in their hatred of the "Lost" finale, though a higher percentage — 38% — didn't watch it at all. 11% loved it, though — @RVLara23 says it was "the most brilliant ending to the most brilliant show of all time." Lots and lots of love for other Damon Lindelof shows in the comments too, including "The Leftovers," "Watchmen" and "Fringe." Next up for Lindelof is a TV show called "The Human Conditions," co-produced with Matt Reeves and described as a magical-realist medical drama.
I mean, if ever I needed more persuading that my #Netflix sub can go away, this is it. (We still have two pre-4K Apple TVs. One is used on my tiny office TV. It works perfectly well with every other service, and so Netflix can go do one.)
Edit: to clarify, HD onwards will work with Netflix. Pre-HD (and pre-tvOS) will not. It’ll be interesting to see how rapidly everyone else does the same. (IIRC, Prime still worked on those old boxes.)
@craiggrannell So this meant those older units only. Which makes sense, it would be weird for Netflix to stop support devices that were still sold barely 2 years ago I think (Apple TV HD?)
In a contemporary twist, some younger Koreans are keeping traditional #superstition alive to ensure good luck and ward off evil spirits
... There is also a special practice done before driving a new car for the first time to wish for safety in the future when driving the car: ... Lastly, they wrap the dried #pollack with silk thread and put it in the car.🙃 #kdrama https://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240604050577
"Halt and Catch Fire" premiered 10 years ago and went on for four seasons and 40 episodes. @polygon's Devan Suber describes how the beloved AMC show understood the draw of video games better than any show that's come before it. "In the words of Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace), the computer was always 'the thing that gets us to the thing,' a vector for connection, expression, or some other deeper human need."
@Jyoti Hopefully it doesn't sound too weird to say that we thought of you when we saw this as one of our very early fediverse conversations was with you, about this show!
Stephen Colbert has sat in the "Late Show" spinny chair for a decade now. He spoke with Entertainment Weekly about his office decor — his kids' old art projects hang beside a copy of Donald Trump's impeachment resolution — how he fell in love with the monologue, and the fine art of blending stupid and smart.
Normally, I skip shows on Netflix that have been canceled after their 1st or 2nd season because I just don't want to get into them and end up frustrated. Or, to put it another way, I rarely watch a new Netflix series. I wait for the 3rd season, and then I catch up.
But, I was really intrigued by what I saw about #Sense8 in the previews and ended up binge-watching it.
Damn Netflix for canceling it! I think it's one of their best.
This is my biggest annoyance with #Netflix. They cancel great shows in the middle.
