TV/Movies Megathread

[The Larch]

I've been watching The Good Place. It's pretty funny and it actually has a decent narrative too.

It's a great show.

It's hard to imagine how it got produced, though - it is an awesomely weird premise. The afterlife and the philosophy of morality, and it's a comedy.

I broke down and bought season 4 on iTunes.

I did as well! Then binged it. 😄

I enjoyed the hell out of it. Let me know what you think of it.

You finished it already? What did you think at the end?

Killing Eve. I think this is the first time they do a character-centric episode?

[spoiler]
Having her rural Russian family all speak perfect English kinda threw me off. I guess BBC America didn't like an episode with 90% of Russian dialogue, or the actress wasn't confident on pulling convincing Russian for an entire episode. I guess they tried to explain it away with the family being oddly fixated on English stuff. Loved the harvest festival, though, and they payoff with her mom was good, even if the murder was expected.[/spoiler]

I think your negative statement was better. That's my sentiment.

I've been watching chernobyl.
Quite good.
Until episode 4.
Fuck this.

Is that the [spoiler]dog[/spoiler] stuff? Yeah definitely the weakest part of the series.

I'm trying to space it out, since I'm enjoying it so much.  I mean - I never binge watch shows.  I hardly ever watch TV.  But this show makes me happy.  I watched 3 eps tonight alone.

I think I'm on Ep 7.  I'll let you know in a few days.

Season 3 of Medici is on Netfilx.  It reminded me that I had meant to but did not see season 2 - one of the highlights of season 2 is they cast someone who looks very much like Venus for a Botticelli related subplot.

Looking forward to watching season 3

Interesting, didn't know about this series. Are they pronouncing it 'Medici or Me'dici?

[crazy canuck]

[Maladict]

de Me'dici

[crazy canuck]

You should scratch that

[The Brain]

Is Machiavelli in the show?

[crazy canuck]

Is Machiavelli in the show?

He might be in season 3.  Season 2 ended in 1478

[Eddie Teach]

He is. Michelangelo too.

[Malthus]

I'm enjoying the hell out of a mini documentary series The Toys That Made Us. It's a hoot. Highly recommended.
