Totally. I feel like getting locked makes some folks more creative. Some of things they did were pretty damn clever.

On the next-to-last episode of The Society and it's actually pretty good, though there's definitely some dodgy writing. Very bingeable stuff, and it seems to have more on its mind than the usual dystopian YA SF does, even if it's not entirely successful with its more ambitious themes.
also, while I'm glad that there's gay representation,
also, while I'm glad that there's gay representation,
I don't like that the gay romance is introduced abruptly more than halfway through the series, in episode 7. Those two characters had, what, one meaningful interaction in the entire first six episodes?
I'll be curious to see what your thoughts are after you've finished the season up.
Finished the first season of The Society, I have to stop watching these shows until they get a second season I need more of this and Black Summer. Spoiler question for final episode.
During the final scene was that the same dog that went missing earlier in the season? If I'm not mistaken he went missing before since I remember one of the guard saying they missed the dog. If it's the same dog then there is a way back and they aren't intact dead
Was just reading up on The Society as I was considering watching it, it seems like a mixture of an updated version The Tribe combined with
inter-dimensional Pied Piper of Hamelin
Just about finished binging Jailbirds in a couple of nights. I would love to know if this is what prison is really like. It's a great watch.
Yes so much so that I wish it was a CW show so I would know it would be on for at least 3 seasons.

Jesus Christ I need to spill some words about Easy somewhere. I just need to go off spoiler wise but ya'll need to watch this. Please. Short and so very very sweet.
I can't believe it's the last episodes.....I get way into shows but this is just tough. Fuck I love this show. I love fucking Zazzie Beatz who is like my fucking dream girl and Dave Franco together. Love that whole plotline with him and his brother. I just love characters criss crossing through other peoples episodes. The acting between Kyle and Andi Jesus Christ. That twenty minute segment of dialogue between them was perfectly acted so FUCKING REAL. Like fuck it's real shit and it's just being addressed and acted in such an amazing way. Fucking sophie leaving at the end literally I'm in fucking tears. Maybe because I am a white guy who loves black women and shes amazing as well? Maybe because I've been in those life situations where your in an amazing relationship but something is being chosen over you? The whole dedication to Chicago as a backdrop and it's own character is fucking amazing. I'm just in love with this show Joe Swanberg is a God. This is fucking peak TV. It's just sooooo good. No wasted movement everything is critical to the plot. Even fuck, just introducing new characters like Hugh is so great. Just those little snippets and vingettes is just so incredible. Fuck I'll be dammned this is one of the best shows in the past 10 years no questions asked. Just amazing TV. Literally every story. Some of it about romance some not.
Finally got round to Santa Clarita Diet and fuck I'm sad it got canned, fantastic show, up there with Always Sunny and The Good Place as some of the most enjoyable TV comedy shows of recent time for me, just binged the lot of it in a few days and enjoyed every episode.
I can't say I find all of the episodes interesting but yeah its overall really good. Usually when someone says that dialogue is improvised I'm like "sure jan" but it shines through here and in the movies of his that I've watched. I find it amusing that he also makes horror movies. :D
Absolutely obsessed with this show, tragic that it's over and that it didn't receive the recognition it deserved.
My only regret is that there was never a follow up to Controllada which was one of my favorites from S1.
See you yesterday.... was not complete trash... but definitely among the weakest of netflix sci fi originals. I like time travel stuff... but wouldn't mind going back in time to warn myself to not watch the movie.
Yeah that one hit pretty hard honestly. I understand wanting a follow up. At the same time I think it's fascinating to leave it alone and just have those characters cameo in other episodes and wonder about the true outcome
Anybody watch What/If?
It's honestly a good show... when it doesn't devolve to soap opera craziness and filming techniques (the first episode was the worst about this) and Renée Zellweger is absolutely awful, was she ever actually a good actress? I read a review that suggested Demi Moore would've been perfect for the role, and the whole time I watched it I imagined Demi in the role and thought, "wow, she would've been perfect."
It does get better as it goes as long as she isn't on screen (Blake Jenner isn't great either but the rest of the cast is good) and when it focuses on the rest of the cast. I've been a Jane Levy fan since her role in Shameless and she was the best part here. Oh and some of the dialogue is crazy cheesy.

We watched the first episode and are intrigued, very solid in every area and it has a cool mode/atmosphere especially when highlighting the natures of San Francisco. The theme is kind of underexplored and yeah Demi More would've been awesome!
My girlfriend has never seen Decent Proposal so it could be interesting to see what we think.
I'm so far behind on multiple shows...
new girl
supernatural
flash
arrow
legends of tomorrow
... just to name a few

im basically the same on all the cw shows. its hard to get back into them with how many episodes there are. at least new girl is manageable with its shorter episodes and shortened final season. :\
this is often why i find keeping up with the cable/streaming service shows much easier. going back and catching up on old broadcast shows with 20+ episode seasons is so daunting...
People are giving this movie way too much credit. They're trying way too hard to be clever by half. It's dumb and rolls out all the action tropes in a "wink, wink" way like everyone's in on the joke.
It's just not very good.
Whose giving it too much credit? Most people are saying it sucks on era and the reviews I've read have been mostly 2/5 or lower. Lol
Rim of the world is average at best for sure. It's not terrible though... better than see you yesterday but has similar issues. Sorta seems like it's aimed at maybe teenagers who have never seen the genre before if those exist.

Maybe 😂
The pilot episode is much stronger than the rest. The writing is bad at times, like the dialogue was run through a thesaurus app or something, it feels like 2nd tier Dawson Creek writing. And the production values too, no more cool outdoor scenes around San Francisco

Babylon Berlin was so good.

Cool, thanks for the rec! I'll add it to my list.
I thought the trailer looked really intriguing, but the first ep had me kind of on the fence. I'm on episode 4 now and think I may throw in the towel. Feels like the characters have the same arguments over and over. How much longer until it ramps up??
Is anyone watching Tales of the City? I wasn't familiar with the source material or seen any of the previous series but not sure if that matters though? I thought the first episode was entertaining enough. Is this getting good reception from the lgbt community?
