Yeah the uber and bill gates guy ones seemed like they were going to be multiple episode arcs.

Still some old school ones like the chilli

i imagine the smaller ones become harder the more known the show becomes

[andrewvb]

i cant wait for the blues fire detector

the "golden age of tv" is whenever Nathan for You is back on

in my not sleeping netflix reviews:

I only made it in to a couple more episodes of LD but man does it depend on the writer of the episode how good it is. Some episodes fantastic, others middle of the road, all with different energies. Still 3 good laughs every episode.

I cant make it through Daredevil its the most half assed show I've ever seen. Makes Agents of Shield look like the Avengers.

What is LD

[rango420]

Lady Dynamite

[irvred]

Lady Dynamite.

I'd agree about Daredevil S2, but most of S1 was pretty great.

Nothing has me more excited than the return of the Bill Gates impersonator. Cannot wait

Marvel Netflix shows are really hit or miss. Jessica Jones is the only one that almost put together a complete season.

Thanks friends.

All of them could've been cut to 6-8 episodes.

Just finished The Defenders. Has some pacing and writing issues like the other Marvel series, but I feel it more or less delivered on most expectations. Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones is the highlight as she made me laugh a ton and Luke Cage really got to shine more than in his own series, I think. Had plenty of stuff to please comic nerds. Not sure where I would rank it. It probably played it a bit too safe, so somewhere in the middle maybe.

[irvred]

I'm on episode 5 and it is kind of a boring slog punctuated by cool fight scenes. I agree JJ is the best part. Iron Fist is still the worst. The main villains are fairly stupid and generic; I think they definitely played it too safe.

[irvred]

Ok I finished it, it was very bad. The 'twists' make little sense and the end cliffhanger is pointless. The final big fight is shot in the darkest space any Marvel fight has ever been in and the editing makes it even less comprehensible. The Hand are all just a bunch of ninjas; even the main 'Fingers' don't have particularly unique skill sets. I feel like they should've had more interesting abilities, because it leads to even the better fights being repetitive.

Friends from College got picked up for a second season and I feel like I'm the only one who is excited about that.

[llamaoftime]

ive watched like the first 3 episodes of Defenders so far and its not doing a lot for me yet, and I've enjoyed most of these shows a lot. I think S1 of Daredevil is very solid, I really really liked the first 2/3 of season 2 of Daredevil though I thought the last 1/3 was really bad, Jessica Jones is good, and Luke Cage is decent (did not bother with Iron Fist because fuck scott buck).

I'm definitely going to finish though. only 8 episodes. some of these other shows should have been that long but eh.

It's on our list to watch - just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe now that we're finished with GLOW (which was decent).

trailer for AHS Cult makes me think it might be better than the premise suggested.

might be.

[claypoolfan]

Variety released their annual television salary report. Always an interesting read.

[rango420]

Shout out to the burn notice guy for getting paid 200k an episode to be on a show that doesn't exist.

[andrewvb]

i had no idea judge judy makes that much. it makes me very happy to see she makes almost twice as much as matt lauer.

[Deleted]

i mean, when you bring puppies back to their owners, you deserve every last penny

[Deleted]

also 3 episodes into Defenders so far and it's fine.

i mean literally everything Iron Fist says and does is groanworthy, but the other 3 are normal (JJ still being the best)


Rosario Dawson and Carrie Anne Moss should've just gotten their own shows at this point.


can't wait to see how punisher just steals the entire season again.

[regionrat6337]

Wish they would have given us a date but yesssss I'm excited

Just saw this. I think her salary for this past year was a big exception because they sold off all the back episodes to someone that paid a ton of money for it. She doesn't normally make that much each year.

EDIT: Nevermind, whatever she got from that deal is apparently on top of the salary they quoted. She actually does make that much. Crazy. I guess when you average 10 million viewers a day it's worth it though.

[Xamnam]

Oh mannnnnn. I really dig that style of teaser.

[Deleted]

yaaaaaaaaas

The Stranger Things pop-up over at Emporium looks kind of fun. I may try to stop over there tomorrow.

[Deleted]

[Deleted]

Yeah, I'm actually staying in Logan, too. Going to the Sox game tomorrow night, but I'll be around Logan afterward.
