Why did no one tell me how great Resident Alien is? It's safe to say Alan Tudyk is a national treasure.
My friend told me that Resident Alien was getting popular on Netflix a few weeks ago I think. Happy to hear it even though I haven't watched it even though I like Alan Tudyk. He is one of the reasons I am trying/tried to give Grimsburg a shot. I should add that to my growing list of shoes. It's been a while since I tried a SyFy show

Yay, really like this show! This season hasn't been quite as good as the first in my opinion but still one of my top new network shows.
‘Tulsa King’: Frank Grillo Joins Season 2 Of Paramount+ Series From MTVE Studios

Elsbeth returned yesterday after its month long break following its premiere. I enjoyed it more this time because I felt like I was taking it too seriously before. Viewing it as something meant to be silly and where there is a ton of happenstance to solve the crime, it became a more entertaining show.
Good signing. Looking forward to the next season, was a fun show. Though I do hope the world seems more full in the new season. I assume it was COVID, but it was like that world had like a dozen people living in it, total.‘Tulsa King’: Frank Grillo Joins Season 2 Of Paramount+ Series From MTVE Studios

Darn, was curious where they were going to go after that finale. Oh well, I'm almost out of shows on peacock thankfully.
Addison also became a leaper so the THREE of them never came home. 🤣
Trailer increased my interest in checking the show out.

I won't clip the whole thing but this should be enough to get the gist.
Thanks!
Oof, even with as few episodes as Girls5Eva has, people just didn't stick around or like it enough to watch it all the way through.
The Regime starring Kate Winslet ended its 6 episode season 1 run last night on HBO, anyone watch it all? Good, bad, indifferent? Reviewers are pretty low on the show and I have never heard a single person talk about it so seems like one of those shows that will just vanish.
Curb also finished season 12, and the next big HBO show is gonna be The Sympathizer, the one with Robert Downey Jr set in the 1960s about a viet cong double agent. That one looked really good and might get me to reup my HBO sub before house of the dragons.
Amazon also seems likely to almost immediately announce season 2 of fallout when it airs in a few days, based on applying and receiving tax credits to relocate filming to CA for season 2

It was okay. It's only 6 episodes as you said. I dunno, whatever it was specifically being satirical kind of flew over my head, show felt all over the place, and wasn't particularly funny anyhow. Kate Winslet and Matthias Schoenaerts do both give great performances though, and the last 2 episodes were probably the highlight. But all things said, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.
Not anything stellar, but the two leads are great so worth it for their performances imo
Streaming Profit Report: A Year Spent Chasing Netflix
A streaming promised land has not been reached by Hollywood powerhouses, Wall Street agrees. But it's instructive to look beyond quarterly earnings updates for a fuller picture.

An article about the profitability of various streaming services.
I didn't realize that WBD's streaming division also includes HB9, which makes me think Max itself isn't profitable and that division is proped up by HBO.
They're definitely not giving you the full picture. Max on its own is most likely not profitable but close enough compared to its competitors outside of Netflix. Once they rollout the international expansion, Max itself will probably be profitable by the end of this year or beginning of next year.Streaming Profit Report: A Year Spent Chasing Netflix

I watched the first two episodes and they were just okay. I could never quite figure out the tone they were going for. Did mean to come back to it but I honestly forgot it existed until I saw an article about the finale and figured that's a sign that I should definitely just drop it.
I think Feinberg or someone called The Regime a boring version of The Great, for what it's worth. It's why I put it on my backlog anyway, particularly since I haven't seen The Great yet. lol

Man, Disney+ despite the issues has really locked itself down quick as the #2. Peacock is the interesting one for sure since they got a boost on the last year.Streaming Profit Report: A Year Spent Chasing Netflix

Like I said in the other thread; watching this show felt like being a citizen of this imaginary country, it was shit.
Oh that's good to hear, I was wondering what the hell was going on after it premiered and then there were no more episodes coming.
Yeah, I want to at some point. Just too much content now... everyone on YouTube is putting out 4 hour video essays for some reason. lol
Incidentally, the 38 hour Beverly Hillbillies video essay is something else. lol
I think it was just March Madness that threw it off and forced it to take a 5 week break. Strange situation.
I'd just skip both. The Great had a stunningly excellent S1 and a terrible S2 followed by an okay S3. Hard to recommend the complete package.
Lol that's a good way to describe it actually, but yea you should definitely give The Great a try at some point, loved it myself, it's hilarious
Did they make some kind of big change in S2? I know it was cancelled but it seems to end at a decent place based on what I've read.
Mostly it is just fresh in S1 and the story is better. It becomes shallow and derivative in S2. S3 was certainly better and I did like how it ended. For me, the comedy's shine wore off after S1.
I guess it could seem like someone telling the same joke over and over again... lol
