  • Paradise Season 2 | Official Trailer | Hulu

    Jump

  • I liked the first season of this show... until I didn't. As a concept I want it to work, but I'll probably wait for the reviews of season two before I dig in. The trailer looked cool, but it could be nothing of substance and all flash.

  • Wonder Man review – a Marvel TV show with almost no superhero action … and it’s all the better for it

    Jump

  • I mean as a general rule you should probably watch something before reviewing it. I understand where your skepticism is coming from but you can't just call something slop without seeing it.

    (Unless you want to shit on Secret Invasion, no one is going to defend that.)

  • Wonder Man review – a Marvel TV show with almost no superhero action … and it’s all the better for it

    Jump

  • Just finished watching and it's an excellent series.

    If you haven't seen anything since Endgame that's fine, the show is largely standalone and anything you need to know will be clearly explained to you. (Honestly as long as you've seen Iron Man 3 you're covered, you don't even need to remember that film well, it'll fill you in.)

    As this article says the joy of the show comes from the relationship between our lead actors, Ben Kingsley and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, with plenty of other great actors and characters who pop in along the way.

    The first episode does a good job of setting up the overall story but I think by the second is where is really starts to shine.

    There is an episode this season that is also extra unique and a standalone even within the series. It reminded me of some of the Atlanta series one offs.

  • DTF St. Louis | Official Trailer | HBO Max

    Jump

  • That's a great cast and I enjoy a proper one off miniseries. A bit of a whodunnit, I'm in.

  • Stephen Colbert says the Late Show's series finale will air on May 21, the conclusion of a franchise that launched in 1993 with David Letterman

    Jump

  • I almost never watched him until COVID hit. Colbert, as well as Trevor Noah at the time and Seth Meyers really improved their shows during and after COVID.

    They all got much more relaxed and made the shows feel much more authentic. I think Colbert has actually swung the most back towards "professional", but he still general brings a more relaxed vibe.

  • Stephen Colbert Sets Final Episode Date for The Late Show

    Jump

  • Corrections is a gem and Closer Look is excellent. He also has some fun reoccurring sketches like "Leave Him Alone" guy starring Lutz and "Jokes Seth Can't Say". He's also a fun interviewer, much more loose and relaxed.

    Long way of saying after Colbert he's my #1 in late night.

  • Stephen Colbert Sets Final Episode Date for The Late Show

    Jump

  • In recent interviews he's said he knows what he wants to do next, but doesn't want to say. I expect he'll take a little while off and shift more into acting, possibly stage acting, but that's just a guess.

    I think he'll avoid politics for a little while, at least until Trump is gone.

  • Stephen Colbert Sets Final Episode Date for The Late Show

    Jump

  • the series finale of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air Thursday, May 21.

    Such a shame, but I look forward to whatever Colbert does next.

  • If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?

    Jump

  • To quote Jeopardy host Ken Jennings,

    The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

    Since we're stuck with the two parties at the moment it'll need to be a Democrat.

    Mark Kelly has mentioned interest and seems to be willing to fight back, so I'm leaning towards him at the moment.

    But it's early so I'm open to candidates who meet the first requirement.

  • Next month ALL users in the UK on ALL platforms will have to do age verification!

    Jump

  • *UK only? Unless something has changed.

  • ‘Wednesday’ season two beats ‘Stranger Things’ in Netflix viewing numbers

    Jump

  • I'm genuinely surprised. I know it's not fair to compare the fifth and final season of one of Netflix's best shows to the second and ongoing season of a surprise breakout, but of the two Stranger Things is absolutely the show i enjoyed more and talk about more.

    Wednesday season 1 was great, but it was nothing compared to Stranger Things season 1. Wednesday season 2 was fine, but I figured it probably had one more season left in it.

  • ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Sequel ‘The Testaments’ Sets Hulu Release Date

    Jump

  • So this definitely falls into the category of sequels no one asked for, but I think it could work.

    First The Handmaid's Tale, while uneven at times, started strong, ended solid and had lots of highlights along the way. The showrunner of The Handmaid's Tale actually left running to focus on the follow up, which is a good choice. The new series is based on the book by the original author. It stars Ann Dowd's Aunt Lydia, who I've always found to be the most interesting character in the series. The main character is played by Chase Infiniti, who just had a standout performance in "One Battle After Another".

    And we're getting a three episode premiere, so something to really sink into.

  • Annotations for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x03: “Vitus Reflux”

    Jump

  • See exactly! That's what I think is happening here. Earl Grey is a solid tea, but someone being a bit snooty would absolutely look down on Picard and his choice of tea.

  • What shows last year did you get into but did not expect to get into? Streaming or Non Streaming or whatever

    Jump

  • I also caught the ER bug after watching The Pitt. I had watched episodes here and there throughout the 90s but never really watched it.

    I wasn't sure I could commit to watching 15 seasons, full 20+ episode seasons, but the show pulled me in and I couldn't quit.

    The show also has everyone in it at some point. Anyone who would later land a big role on a sitcom appears at some point in the hospital, so it's crazy seeing everyone as their younger self. (Except Ming-Na Weng, who isn't her younger self because she is unaged and always her younger self.)

  • Is knight of the seven kingdoms worth a watch?

    Jump

  • Lol. They do. It happens almost immediately and it's meant the set the tone of the show. I thought it was a fantastic choice but I knew it was going to be divisive. But it's a quick scene and it's a PG-13 poop joke.

    You'll be fine.

  • Is knight of the seven kingdoms worth a watch?

    Jump

  • We're one episode of six into the season. Each episode is about 30 minutes, the first being a little longer.

    I think it's worth watching the first episode and getting a good feel for what the show is, I think it's worth it. You're definitely in the world of Westeros, but it's different from the previous shows.

    I mentioned the short length because I think for some this will be a show best binged, like a long film. So I'd say give the first episode a shot, if you love it, great, if it sorta works, binge it, if it isn't for you, then that's ok too.

  • Annotations for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x03: “Vitus Reflux”

    Jump

  • Kelrec's tea fetish is setting us up for some kind of Picard/Earl Grey joke... But I don't know how yet. The most straightforward joke being that he finds it too basic/unappealing, but admired Picard and is trying to emulate him.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x03 "Vitus Reflux"

    Jump

  • This episode started rough with the gym lens flare being so strong I couldn't even look at the TV. The War College gave up a little easy, but I expect them to be back harder and stronger, I hope they get a big win just to help even things out.

    Also something I appreciate is all the security this episode and the previous episodes have had. So many Star Trek plots would have been fooled with even the most basic of security, so seeing someone need proper authorization or cloning an eyeball is surprisingly new for Trek.

  • Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord | Official Trailer | April 6 on Disney+

    Jump

  • Taking bets, who will be the first existing character Maul sees/talks to?

    I'm guessing it's Jabba who just tells him to piss off. I think Maul will try to get/steal some help from different crime families and I think Jabba is one.
