TV/Movies Megathread

HBO's Watchmen had its finale tonight and hell, I'll say it, this series was pretty damn good.

There were some great one liners in the finale.  Loved how they brought it all together.  Great ending.  Hoping season 2 will be as good.

Watched scams on Netflix. Japanese drama about a guy getting wrapped up in running money transfer scams. Starts very well and entertainingly. Last episode sucks. Loses all sense

[Grey Fox]

Anyone watched season 4 of The Man in the High Castle? Just look it up & it came out in November already.

The Mandalorian as a spaghetti western:

He was certainly great at playing Gregory Peck. 

I like him a lot, but agree that he is one of those actors where all of his characters feel like different shades of the same guy. 

[The Minsky Moment]

I like him a lot, but agree that he is one of those actors where all of his characters feel like different shades of the same guy. 

He played Atticus Finch and Joseph Mengele, among others.  Seemed different to me.

It was ok. That whole series felt like it should have been better than it was. I think it was a bit miscast with the younger cast members.

Watching new season of The Expanse. Martian police is using the same IKEA desk chairs that we bought. 

I watched the whole Season over the weekend 

God I love that show.

That's a treat I'm reserving for a lazy day over the holidays. 

So I'll ask one question, without spoilers: does season 4 live up to the other three?

Found online:

That 70's Show debuted in 1998, and was set in 1976.
If a show came out today in 2019 with the same premise, it would be set in 1997.

Spoke to someone at work and they casually mentioned that Cameron is the first Prime Minister they remember

Maybe Gordon Brown just wasn't that memorable.

The timing is perfect for a retro 90s show.

I mean you had Happy days (set in the 50s) come out in the 70s.
Wonder Years (set in the 60s) come out in the 80s.
That 70s show come out in the late 90s.
We have lots of shows set in the 80s: Stranger Things, The Goldbergs, Young Sheldon, The Americans.

Nothing really in the 90s.  Googling suggests Fresh Off the Boat and Derry Girls.  I've heard of both, but both suggest more being set in a very specific situation, moreso than just the 90s.

Celedhring: you should get writing a script.
