But objectively, no it did not get better. I’d say the best episode was the pilot. As a big time godzilla fan I just felt compelled to ride it out anyway. And I’ve got a monster in my pants that Anna Sawai can check out anytime she wants, if she thinks she could handle it.

Well yeah, that movie was filmed ten years ago. I thought The Gorge was very dumb but kinda fun. First 30 mins is slow. Felt like a paycheck movie that actors do so they can go do some smaller stuff.
February 21Feb 21 god damn do i feel sorry for anyone who, like me, let apple tv just rollover start "the gorge" after finishing an episode of severance without knowing what it was or watching a preview. that is the dumbest piece of shit i can remember in quite some time and i turned it off after about 30 seconds of them being in the gorge. prime target is such cliche'd, trashy shit. how creative, an attractive but reclusive math genius obsessed with primes who is incapable of expressing himself in any functional way and an NSA hacker chick that wears way too big of clothes and is broody about a painful past - while evilcorp turns on them. all with unix screens in which a few keystrokes allow you to take over a train's camera system or find a charter for a truck in 3.2 seconds. just stupid and awful and stupid again. i can't believe that sidse babett knudsen and stephen rea let themselves be associated with something so ridiculously bad. viserys targarian turning up acting a like a super tough twink barking orders around the nsa was the most entertaining part of this steaming pile of shit. bad efforts. less the gorge/prime target and more severance.

I made it a couple minutes beyond that and it somehow got even dumber. Probably one of the most extreme examples of a pretty good first 30 minutes or so of a movie to then turn into total garbage.

Agree on the Gorge (I think I posted upthread on it). I'm just hate-watching Prime Target now.

March 15Mar 15 First episode of Dope Thief was strong enough to keep going. I like the two main actors.

March 17Mar 17 Caught up on Mythic Quest Decent show. A little repetitive. Some always sunny character vibes. I wish they had continued to focus on the game itself, the first season had a cool Silicon Valley vibe. Mac from IASIP is great.

April 11Apr 11 i haven't watched the new one but i like it too. their ability to always get out of certain death situations each episode is a bit silly but that's action shows these days.
April 12Apr 12 Yeah the Jon Hamm show is good. Makes me want to watch Mad Men again. Too bad it's not on one of the 12 streaming services I pay for.

April 14Apr 14 I liked the pilot. That said… the Mercedes Benz pitchman narration took me out of it. Promising start.
April 16Apr 16 Just got into mythic quest and it's instantly canceled. Oof. Luckily apple is giving the writing crew a do- over on the season finale to ad closure. Pretty neat. I've never heard of such a thing.

And yes, Time to Penis is a real metric in the industry and has been around for 15+ years, since Spore.

I don’t know how far you’re in, but while I love the main cast, my favorite episodes are the ones focused on other people: A Dark Quiet Death / 1st season Backstory / 2nd season The Side Quest mini-series (released last month)

Those back ground episodes were fantastic. I feel like it def dropped off story wise last season. Wanted more game development and related chaos like season 1. They focused too much on the lez chick's and the new developers HR. And very glad they get a mulligan on the finale, bc Ian and Poppy kissing felt so...wrong..

I think they were too afraid of repeating earlier stories. I wish they had compressed or ditched a few side plots and instead spent the last half of the season with Jo running Playpen and interacting with Ubisoft management while Mythic Quest fades and maybe Ian tried to bring it back. Maybe bring in another old sci fi writer. The writing staff is amazing as you can tell by some of the standalone episodes. I give them credit for wrapping up some story arcs like Pooti aging, etc.

April 27Apr 27 Just discovered For All Mankind Lol wtf? A 4 season scifi by the Battlestar Galactica guy? How in the fuck does Apple manage to have stuff like this nobody ever has heard about.. This will be my latest binge.

This will be my latest binge. It was one of their earlier series when Apple+ was just getting off the ground. People who subscribed talked about it quite a bit at the time, but like any show that’s >2 years old, it gets overlooked in favor of newer stuff.

It was quite popular (and in fact there is a prequel planned covering the Russian side of things). I've gotten a lot of non-sci fi fans to watch it, and they loved it.

However, for reasons I honestly can't put an exact finger on something about it just lost my attention. The mom "issue" was I think where I started to lose interest.

I didn't dislike it, and didn't even intentionally stop watching it. Just realized at some point that I hadn't watched an episode in months, and never went back to it.
