Noo, Max didn't have to die
I was so sure that other couple was sent there to kill them
Fuck this episode for making me rewind to check her hand and then not showing both her hands.
Who else skipped back to check the hands ?
Big Sun sends killers after Bruce who then goes against his father himself but not to kill him, merely to put an end to the fighting that would leave Charles and Eileen alone. Alexis gets a big win for her case. Charles and Eileen plan to go back to Taiwan to repair the damage done on the triads. Bruce is left back in Los Angeles to continue his studies and stay out of trouble. A solid season finale that wraps up most storylines leaving some open for a potential second season which I hope comes some day. Michelle Yeoh finally gets her own fight scene too which was fun to see after her Oscar winning performance in "Everything Everywhere All at Once." Overall a great first season with great acting, writing, action scenes and set designs, "The Brothers Sun" is a show not to miss for the start of the 2024.
The penultimate episode sees multiple storylines converging towards what promises to be a big finale. As the ghosts prepare to meet in Los Angeles, everyone seems to be plotting their own outcomes for the big meeting but hell breaks loose when the Boxers and the feds all show up at the same time. Not surprising at this point to see who's crossing whom and keeping secrets from others. June finally gets her revenge by killing Grace. The Sun family escapes but now Charles is given an impossible task: to kill his brother because Eileen betrayed Big Sun.
The identity of the Rolodex has been revealed. As Mrs. Sun attempts to follow a lead, she's taken hostage and eventually saved by Bruce and the aunties? Yep, you read that right! Bruce unintentionally gets violent in the funniest way. Sadly Charles sleeps with someone who ends up double-crossing him. Kind of saw that coming but still upset that it happened. RIP Blood Boots. :(
Not blood boots!!! I was so saddened by his death, he was the first to support Bruce's improv
A fun pilot episode with the right pacing to establish the setting and characters for what promises to be a good story of worlds colliding. Some good action and fight scenes and smart dialogue to balance comedy and drama together. It's clear the attention to detail with small moments like not wearing shoes in the house as seen by the two brothers.
Amazing first season. Allegorical presentation of modern corporate life, where a total separation of personal and professional life is required. A Utopia where corporate figures emerge as religious figures, and the rewarding of those who show blind faith in all their decisions. A good dose of retro meets sci-fi. Brilliant acting. What is not to like? Looking forward to season 2
Beautiful television. I rarely enjoy tv series, especially with the onslaught of Netflix and Amazon crap. I enjoyed Stranger Things and Black Mirror… But this, a thing of beauty. Brilliant story, great acting, beautiful cinematography, well crafted. It’s similar in a fashion to Westworld, only far less convoluted and way more intriguing. Hats off to Ben Stiller!
Patricia Arquette does not fking miss.
Between this and Escape at Dannemora and The Act, Patricia is blessing us with a Patricia Arquette TV Renaissance we just don't know it
Marvelous series. It reminded me a lot of Devs, but with more of a bite of human depersonalisation, and the cult as corporate. The human being is a collective of many, and individuality is a construct of the moment seems to be the message. Taut and rather sophisticated, and despite its leap of faith, rewarding to watch. May make you reassess your work-life balance, and even the notion of that 8hrs labour, 8 hours rest, 8 hours recreation. Or all three of those personality domains. 9/10
A superbly written TV series, actors capable of impeccably interpreting the personalities of the "insides" and "outsiders". The show, thanks to the dystopian reality it narrates, manages to highlight in a profound, intense and at the same time disturbing way the duality between work and private life. I don't say anything else, enjoy the show.
Mind f* and retro-modern techno wierd. Exactly how I like it
Social experimentation... Humans like rats in a maze... Evil corporation bent on world domination (maybe)... Mmm, pizza! Me likey!
This show needs a warning. I keep eating while watching it and I almost choke to death every time.
This time was Nadja saying "Why don't you write him a suicide letter? (in the most caring and loving way)"
An episode where John Slattery played himself with references to both Mad Men and The Good Fight is an episode after my own heart, and that's just the secondary storyline. The main one with the moving-forward arc plot where they get Guillermo high, and he and Nadja protecting each other? This season has been so good.
The Energy Vampire High Council is hilarious.
Probably the best episode since Season 3's "The Escape" (the one with The Sire and gossipy gargoyles). Loved all storylines, and the way they dovetail in the end stretch. That Freaky Friday plot with Nadja/Lil Nadja though... It starts out already great and just keeps escalating non-stop, especially once Colin factors in ("You put acid in my beer again!"), capped off by such joyfully crazy (Cronenberg-esque?) end credit scene. Poor Guillermo (though his previous scene's smile with the pride sign was infectious).
'Oh shit, I fucked up. I now have to hypnotise the entire fucking world.'
I am most pleased by the season. Special respect and warm congrats to Taika and Jemaine for their creative genius. Also most high admirations to all the actors that made my summer smiley and happy.
Was another fine hilarious season we should be grateful we got. Laughs in every scene, every episode, a solid plot arc, conflict. These comments however are absolutely insufferable. Bunch of energy vampires up in here! You make Colin Ferguson proud.
Brilliantly written and acted season. Lots of layers developed through the first 7 episodes that provided an amazing final 3 episodes. Some of the best science fiction writing on TV right now.
What an amazing season!
After season 1, I was on board with some doubt, but still hopeful. After season 2, I'm so hyped for what's coming next. The last few episodes were top notch!Season 3: Hari vs. Dermezel? Let's go!
Finally, a show that has a coherent beginning and ending aligned with its initial message. It's a relief not to have to wait for three years (and hope for one or two strikes) to witness a story that starts and concludes sensibly, with character evolution consistent with the storyline. Loki (despite a few minor flaws) is a small masterpiece in the vast arid desert that the last two phases of the MCU have been.
Loki is just carrying the MCU on its back with this second season. This is what you get when you let a show runner have a clear vision and leave them the space to execute that vision, and with the entire creative team and actors bringing it their all. This season looks great, has an intriguing story that makes you want to keep coming back, and provides one of the single best episodes of comic book television history in its finale. Loki is so clearly now one of the most well-developed characters in the entirety of the MCU and this was such a PERFECT ending to his arc. So in love with where they took things by the end, I was blown away.
Loved it...
Beginning...
Middle..
End..
Complete... Including Norse Law..
Will be rewatching this again...
The best Marvel series without a doubt, dares with science fiction concepts and crowns Loki as king of time.
