The Gnat Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Watched Love, Death, + Robots over the weekend. I thought it was an interesting idea because of the animation of the anthology and the different styles of animation. There were some strong episodes, a lot of okay episodes, and a few poor episodes. Because they are basically short films, there are times where it was a bit heavy handed with the moral of the story and that just turns me off because it feels like they are telling the viewer that they are dumb and can't figure out anything more subtle. But the animation throughout the anthology was always on point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I haven't rewatched is because 20+ episode seasons are such a thing of that past. Committing that much time per season means a lot of filler unfortunately. It was definitely my gateway into television as a serious medium for story telling and I suspect it was for a lot of others as well. I have a lot of fond memories of getting together in college with a big group to watch it back in college. I agree with this. Lost was a strong show throughout. I wished some things were done differently, but isn't that always the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found Travelers to be worthwhile throughout... and YES.. The Last Kingdom was and hopefully continues to be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Finally got around to watching Deadwood on Amazon Prime. Finished all 3 seasons in maybe a week? Was enjoyable and at times lmao worthy. It was frustrating too.. so much strong posturing and not enough conviction to retaliate, imho. Don't understand how so many could withstand such treatments without settling the matter instantly or soon after. Annoying and troubling that it didn't continue beyond 3 seasons; felt so very incomplete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm watching Love, Death and Robots on Netflix or whatever the order of those words is. I'm enjoying it. Some of them I'd really like to see feature length movies on. Didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would also demolish character development if most go right off into a shooting war every time someone spits in their direction. It can be hard to stomach though... imagining the shame of carrying on in close proximity.. doing nothing.. to someone who punked you or someone close to you.. so thoroughly. It's one thing if you're weak and can't match up in a physical fight.. but guns were so readily available, I'd think in most cases.. just shoot em dead and move along to some other camp. Or die trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That usually tends to be the case but we'll see Probably my favorite TV series ever. It runs into a rough patch in season 3 (which was during the writers strike), but 4-6 are still damn good. They aren't season 1, but Season 1 is one of the best seasons of TV ever to me. That was the last show that I made time to see it live. The last season is polarizing, people either seem to love it or hate it, but I loved it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 So I tried to watch Parks and Rec for the first time last night. I got through the first 6 episodes, I had it on while I was working on a report. I didn't laugh once and I don't like a single character on the show. Why is this show popular?

Similar to the office it picks up steam as it goes. Season 1 was meh, but there' a few seasons in the middle that are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first season was not very good honestly. It doesn't really even hit it's stride for me until season 3ish. Mark Brendanawicz actually really holds back the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally Leslie, but yeah it's kind of rough at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a few episodes into season 2 and thus far, I like it better than 1. This isn't a slight to 1 and there's still a long ways to go. I really, really liked season 1 also. Looking forward to pushing through but damn basketball is going to make it more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
