Derry Girls absolutely rocks. A northern Irish sitcom set during the Troubles about four asshole school girls and their boy member they constantly torment. Uncle Colm brings such beauty to boredom.
I think, without doubt, the best show to fall asleep to is Frasier. It’s funny, the problems in each episode are trivial, the cast is brilliant, and it has a cosy Seattle vibe. Plus there’s like a million episodes, so you have the comfort of knowing there’s always more for tomorrow.
Looks like Jack Ryan season 4 just dropped today... perfect timing for the start of a nice 4-day weekend!
Nice! I thought it was tomorrow. Just first two episodes, though, for now. I think they're dropping two a week. ETA: beat me to it, lol
Agree - this series has been really well done. Maybe they'll do the Jack Jr stuff at some point? (fingers crossed)
Man. I really hope so. Now that they’ve finally introduced Spoiler Chavez it sucks that it’s the last season. It’d be great if they picked up Jack Jr and the whole Clark/Chavez team, but I wonder who they’d get to play Jr. Kasinski (sp?) is amazing in the role, and it’ll be too bad to see it come to an end.
Was it always planned for 4 seasons? It seems like it is getting better and better, so i assume it isn't because of ratings.
Just finished Jack Ryan tonight. What a great series. Can’t wait for the Chavez spinoff. Here’s hoping John Clark also gets a prime role in it.
Not officially but everyone is hinting strongly that it’s already in the works. https://deadline.com/2022/05/jack-r...ding-chavez-amazon-tom-clancy-1235014723/amp/
I don't know how you guys got through season 4 of Jack Ryan. I loved the first 3 seasons, but i cannot get into this one.
imo, episodes 4-6 are much better than 1-3, even with the obvious plot point with Cathy that you can see coming.
Man, Secret Invasion - in theory - had some great potential. Who wouldn't want to watch Nick Fury, resident non-mutant badass, fight a mostly solo war against a shape-changing enemy? Nope. Terrible. Everything was forgettable - it never felt like the stakes were as high as the show wanted them to be, and Fury's plan was just to Spoiler give two Skrulls every single power of every single mutant/god and count on one of them to outduel the other for the future of the planet The only good things to come out of the show are Sonya Falsworth, and bringing Emilia Clarke onto the screen (which is an endeavor I'll always support). As was Season 4 of The Witcher, which I would like to stop watching, but my brain convinced me to just give it one more season. But it was so forgettable that I literally don't remember what went on in big chunks of this season. I feel like so many of these big budget shows are producing television that there's just no incentive to care about.
What a waste of talent! I thought the first few episodes were meh, I thought Ep 4 was pretty good, and the last two were crap. Everything was disjointed with no real unifying theme that made sense. It felt like the hodge-podged all the ideas they had and tried to make it into a series. The Fury love story seemed tacked on, rather than it being some unifying theme, all of the President scenes and Spoiler Rhodey is bad parts were terrible. Terrible dialogue, nothing like how a President would act and make decisions, just bad. I thought Kingsley Ben-Adir was a decent villain, but they couldn't figure out how to Spoiler wrap up his demise and just got lazy. Much more excited to see the next season of Loki! I notice that Spoiler Jonathan Majors is in the trailer. It will be interesting to see how Disney handles that with his "domestic dispute" issues. I think there is a court date in August which will be before the October release.
The other thing I absolutely hated about the Secret Invasion series was how they bluntly just beat the audience over the head with everything. There was no subtlety in a single scene in that entire show. If Fury slid a pistol out of a hidden drawer in full view of the camera, they still would have cut to him in the next scene patting the weapon and saying, "good thing I had this gun stashed in that secret compartment!" Jesus, people, it's okay to show things and count on your audience to see and process them. You can just show people doing bad things to portray them as evil, without a detailed verbal accounting of every puppy they want to kick. I'm looking forward to the Loki season as well. Season 1 was weird and quirky enough to engage me, and the characters actually felt well characterized and cohesive.
Anyone watch the Netflix animated show Captain Fall? It's fucking WARPED. The episode in the sex club is nuts.
