March 21, 20241 yr you create a network sitcom that runs for a decade.I first learned about him on some documentary a long time ago. Basically, it was centered around him traveling to and living in Russia to develop the Russian version of his American sitcom. It was fascinating.

Not for kids. Overall, really enjoying this, but If I were coming into this cold, I know I would enjoy it a lot more. A big piece is lost when you know the answer to the central mystery of the show. It's very well-acted so far and looks great. As a book nerd, I have thoughts on the first two episodes. SPOILERS inside. Spoiler I am not enjoying that they have most of the major characters concentrated in the same friend group. Feels way too contrived and concentrated. I'm not sure why they have Cheng Xin filling the Wang Miao "Copernicus" role when they have Auggie who is the obvious recreation of that character. I think they are doing a GREAT job telling Ye Wenjie's story. Not a fan of everyone being able to see the stars blinking. Seems to stretch the capabilities of the sophons as described in the book. These are minor complaints, though. Have mostly enjoyed the first two eps and looking forward to binging the rest this weekend. Edited March 22, 20241 yr by Guadaloopy
March 23, 20241 yr Can’t get into Fool Me Once. I can’t buy the soap opera smokeshow as an ex-military badass. And why is she so affluent? Is it just family money? Scene on the sidelines with the kids soccer coach about did it for me.

Story had good twists and turns but definitely finished thinking I should have read the book instead.

But I’m still watching because smokeshow and now I’m morbidly curious if they can land the plane.
March 23, 20241 yr I came in blind. Holy shit this show is wild and amazingly done so far I just finished the trilogy and I can tell it's going to stick with me for a while and I'm already thinking about rereading it. I thought the first episode was really good and did a great job of visualizing some of the ideas from the book. My wife hasn't read the books and loved the first episode. I'm looking forward to watching her reactions to some of the plot points I already know about

If you fall into a free preview of mgm+, Domina (wife of Augustus) is very good fwiw. 2 seasons of that and the special series A Spy Among Friends about Kim Philby were all I could find on that network during my short spree. It's not narrated though - solid drama. Edited March 24, 20241 yr by Chopper
March 24, 20241 yr Episode 7 of 3 Body Problem is powerful. Allergies kicked in. About to watch the finale and I bet it rules.

Now through episode 5 and my initial concerns have been completely overcome. They have done an amazing job adapting the first book, which episode 5 completes. All of the changes so far have purpose in simplifying the narrative and adding depth to the motivations of the antagonists. I’m very impressed. Edited March 24, 20241 yr by Guadaloopy
March 24, 20241 yr I just finished the last episode of Shameless. I hated every one of the characters (except for the salt-and-pepper couple) but I got sucked in and watched the entire thing. The tits and ass helped me stick with it. (not the man ass, of course)

The Octopus Murders is a little like Oak Island. It teases, repeats and restates, and generally jerks your chain. The presentation didn’t lend credence to the Octopus Murders being a grand conspiracy. More like crazy geniuses with access leading a bunch of desperate coke head journalists around by their noses.

March 25, 20241 yr Fool Me Once is terrible. You should all watch it. The lead is gorgeous but the close-ups don’t do her any favors. She’s all Botox and fillers and makeup. Still hot.
March 25, 20241 yr All relevant comments. I was able to look past that stuff and just generally enjoy it as a good whodunnit. And yes she it hot afMichelle Keegan is a goddess, Jesus.I really liked the show

Every character is predictable and paper thin. It's not so much of a story as it is a series of pivotal "moments". Everything in-between just leads up to those moments. It's not terrible. It's just lazy and forgettable. And if MBB can act, this movie doesn't showcase it. I liked it. Millie was actin her ass off the end seemed like I was watching the season finale of season 6 GOT..
March 30, 20241 yr Another vote for 3 body problem. Spoiler I just finished episode 6. Holy shit on the ship scene. I’ve got an 18 month old that wears converse shoes and seeing the toddlers leg in the rubble with the red converse fucking killed me.
March 30, 20241 yr This is my monthly request to please not put spoilers in a thread that is supposed to be for recommendations.
March 31, 20241 yr I'm digging The Wonderful Anthology of Roald Dahl by Wes Anderson. Four episodes starring Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel (who I thought was the guy who denied the Horns a hot breakfast in College Station in '99) and your other Anderson regulars
