A season full of meltdowns. Lovely.
The show's topic might not interest everyone but damn... 3k viewers that completed season 1 and then a mere 12 that started this season ?_?
So apparently this episode is rated #1 on IMDB now... While it's not deserving of that I gotta admit that it was a treat not only as far as payoff goes rip Armin but also from a technical standpoint. I felt like the recent cours were kinda dull so hopefully this is a sign of good things to come...
Fantastic episode! I'm usually not too engaged in the show as certain characters are more annoying than anything else but given it's detached setting this time around it worked really well. The way this duo operates and Gretchen as a character is it really offers itself for some cruel crushing of expectations and hopes for when they're older.
;_; FUCK! Wasn't sure if this would turn out to be exposition heavy filler but that was actually quite stellar.
;_; FUCK! Wasn't quite sure if this would turn out full exposition or filler but that was actually stellar (only nitpick is the bullet armor the others had after the 'fall').
Maybe it's because I haven't been keeping up to date with the show but I really dug the extended Uotani side-thread.
I only glanced over the first OVA but will have to revisit it certainly. Really digging the tone of this so far. The 'flight' was a bit lackluster in terms of visuals however. First I figured they were going for a do-not-show but they didn't really keep at it.
Miss you Baby Bones <3.
I never got around to start the manga but damn, the OPM hype is certainly to thank for what looks to be a promising adaptation by BONES. With Death Parade's director this time adapating a work and Yoshimichi Kameda bringing the artstyle to live I would enjoy this for the visuals soley. Bring it on!
A masterful execution of immature boobie humor.
Better than anticipated even if it's predictable. The weepy insert song in both episodes was quite the turn-off though... butchering the German language to it's best efforts which is too bad because it would have fit otherwise.
It's nice that they take the time to highlight some older animation techniques but I highly doubt that all the staff people are actually that eccentric... who would even want to hire them anyways.
That was great!
The visuals and aesthetics were great in this as well as the kinetic animation style but the story massively leaves you hanging the twist is already hinted at from the get go anyways.
Going to be the contrarian here but I was bored out of my mind. This is not why I am watching Black Mirror and with the way it was unfolding it didn't really connect with me at all. Mackenzie Davis was also a misscast for me as it's a bit too on the nose considering her role on "Halt and Catch Fire".
I would actually like to get what's going on instead of having to looking at the effects of budget limitations.
I doubt I'm going to bother with additional episodes... wasn't very engaging for it's extended runtime and it got quite laughable towards the end (couldn't it be more staged?).
A call about domestic disturbance because a wine glas fell down... This then gets spun to imply a believe-all-women narrative (despite her acting like a loony) and after they're just out of the door he already admits to her being right. Obviously he does not see her grabbing the meat hammer or how she is holding it in her hand - or that she is taking a full swing at him :rolling_eyes:.
"Take some protection, just in case you're wrong... or right." What does this even mean with a narrative where she suspects everyone to be a killer... :exploding_head:
Kinda pointless OVAs with an uninteresting story and heaps of redundant info making this somehow a two parter.
Are they out of ideas maybe or is the season order just setup this way? These episodes have all been pseudo psychology ones with a tendency to become more goofy. Not a good sign.
I had enough at about the midway point. Looking at the press for this the target audience is teens so I guess that is alright. Just not very interested in a "we are getting it" teen show set to trap beats where the lead comes out of rehab determined to do drugs again and everyone being cool with that and not even "entry" level drugs (wouldn't opioids, lean or xanax be more zeitgeistey btw.?) or the struggle of a trans hooking up on grinder considering that "she" is passing I don't get the whole point of the hookup with the "dominant" daddy if he is only go fuck her in the ass - might as well keep up the family values and hook up with girls as that is probably the most removed he could be from being gay...
Really disappointing start... Sacha Baron Cohen's TV offerings have always been fun but it's only getting harder to buy this stuff for real (the credits even mention that everything is fictional). The Bernie interview did not seem authentic for example and all the "Kindergarden soldier" stuff was read from a teleprompter without even giving those folks a chance to reflect on what they just read... neither funny nor insightful.
I'm sorry: WHAAAAT? This was awful. Not that Supernatural ever was very coherent but this was a rushed, sloppy and frankly a very anticlimatic conclusion to their ordeal... they even had to pull a "and-here-is-how-we-dun-it" to "explain" this mess.
Sam & Dean can apparently take a massive beating from fists powered by such godly energy that when absorbed is enough to transfer the powers over to Jack (who needs build up when you can just give him more OP powers...). Most "powerlevels" were also disregarded for this like Chuck's omniscience and featuring Amara, Death/Lucifer etc.. . And no time for Cas? I know there is another one coming but this had a freaking montage at the end...
Not for me definitely. The breakneck pacing has little regard for characters or a proper plot (so things must be convenient) and in this format more akin to something on SyFy or CBS rather than the ""HBO prime time slot""...
Underlying the FX sample pack with a Gil Scott-Heron song is just tone deaf and quite try hard imho (it didn't fit the scene nor the theme). George served his part as a plot device too apparently so let's commemorate it with killing him off...
What a pointless filler episode. Concerned citizen.
I like how they seem to choose their setups in a way where it's destined to end up as absolute dogshit. By this point even the music choices are forced which was their only redeeming factor.
This showed some promise but is unevenly paced and has lore that doesn't make sense unfortunately.
While this episode was luckily a lot less preachy than the pilot, it did little to reinforce my trust in the remake. Instead of giving the girls the time to explore their newfound powers and sisterhood it gets crammed with episodic fantasy stuff that CW shows apparently require. Them behaving very random and frankly stupid also didn't help it (was close to turning it off). I'll gladly welcome a Charmed reboot in my TV schedule but if this is all we can settle for then I'm going to drop this sooner than later.
Still 5 episodes left... damn -.-!
The writing for Good Girls has always been convenient but damn are they doubling down on stupid. They might be sloppy and reckless but the bird and the phone... cmn.
