Dodger Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Since we all need new shit to watch. Just started In The Dark on Netflix and liking it so far. Kind of like a soft Shameless. Only 3 episodes in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Right now, Quarry and Cosmos: A SpaceTime Voyage, both with the wife. Both are excellent so far. Logan Marshall-Green is a fantastic actor in Quarry, and deserves more recognition than he gets after this, Upgrade, and When They See Us. I know he looks like Tom Hardy, but he's a great actor in his own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently rewatching the first few seasons of New Girl in the background sort of but besides that, I haven't had the patience to really sit down and watch anything somehow. Have to get back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Started a Community rewatch. I’m always shocked to see how comedy changes in even 10 years. Looking at some of the jokes in a show like this or The Office, they would be viewed as rather regressive if made in 2020. Particularly on issues of race and sexuality. I also forgot just how awful Jeff was in the beginning. Completely unlikeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear for others, Wizards is not a movie, but the third TV series in Guillermo Del Toro's Tales of Arcadia series. First was Trollhunters (52 episodes), then 3Below (26 episodes), and now Wizards (10 episodes). After Wizards will come a final film to cap it all off, Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans. And while Del Toro is an executive producer on the series, beyond co-writing 4 episodes and co-directing 4 episodes across three different shows (two in Trollhunters, one in 3Below, and two in Wizards) he isn't that involved - it's much more the Hageman duo and Marc Guggenheim who showran and wrote episodes for the series (and their writing team as well as the directing team at the animation studio). He's not even involved in the movie at all beyond an executive producer credit. Just to be clear about Del Toro's level of involvement.

I stand (very much) corrected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's confusing because separately Del Toro co-wrote a film for director Robert Zemeckis, which is a film, titled The Witches which comes out later this year or next. So you have Wizards: Tales of Arcadia coming out (10 episode, one season animated TV show sequel) and also The Witches, a full-length live-action feature film, unrelated and separate.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Finally getting around to finishing Hunter X Hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Finished In the Dark and mostly enjoyed it. It actually has the same basic structure to it as Dead to Me, which was also enjoyable enough but then gets all crazy in the second season since everything is mostly resolved in the first season and they need to find a reason to keep the show going. I powered through it pretty quickly because I found it compulsively watchable. Currently I think I have the last 2 episodes of The Last Dance to finish. ALso watched the first episode of Ozark, will probably watch more of that this weekend and try to make that my next binge watch show.

As a big fan of the original manga, are you watching the original adaptation from 1999-2001 (62 episodes) and it's OVA sequels or the reboot adaptation from 2011-2014 (148 episodes) and it's sidequel films? The full 92 episodes (including OVA's) of the first show adapt the same 75 episodes of the second show, though I think the first show is better directed (by renowned Kazuhiro Furuhashi) than the second show is (by Hiroshi Kojina). The second show adapts much more of the show since its much newer (the manga is still unfinished) but I think people should watch the first show anyway before the second. This isn't like Fullmetal Alchemist - the first show faithfully adapted as much material as there was in its 92 episodes, then it just stops after wrapping up its final arc since more manga was still incoming but that was the end of the first show.

Guest Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Finished up my BSG rewatch. I don’t find the second half of season 4 nearly as bothersome as most, but it does lose a lot of steam and Kara’s final bend of plot arc is pretty weak. Overall still a great show and I’m kinda excited about the prospect of this next BSG series as a TV golden age prestige show instead of a surprisingly competent SyFy show.

I'm not excited by the prospect of the reboot or whatever it is, but I also rewatched BSG recently to show the wife the whole show (yes, everything, the proper way haha) and she loved it (and I enjoyed it on what must have been my third time watching the show all the way through) and I still like season 4 a lot. Kara is really the only one who gets really short shrift, and I understand disliking a certain aspect of the ending on a more fundamental level, but if one gets past that aspect, it all ends as one would expect such a show to end in terms of all the characters' fates. The bluray box collection makes the show look great too, and the director's cuts of any episode that has one improves the show as well.

Dodger Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Trying to get into Ozark, it's merely okay so far for me. Think I just finished episode 7 of the first season. I don't love it but I don't hate it either. Doesn't make me want to binge watch, I watch an episode here and there. Hasn't really hooked me yet.
