Space Force

Nah....boring plus few war stereotipes.
5/10 max.

PS. Stop displaying Serbs as animals, for God sake. Nicest people in Europe.

@nemanjamrd I agree hard with you on the portrayal of Serbs on TV. Even Community did it, and it's just sad.

Counterpart: 1x07 The Sincerest Form of Flattery

Was it swine flu that decimated one world but not the other? I don't get it.

@ptran38 That's what's implied, yes. They talk about not eating pork on the Other Side because of what happened.

Silo: 1x10 Outside

What was the point of using a hologram to project a fake luscious green if in reality, it was exactly the same as what they're displaying in the silo?

@yossarian1993 Yeah, it's cool but it doesn't work IMO.

Imagine you're going out to clean. All others before you have cleaned the sensor. You get out and see (according to what the visor shows you) that it's beautiful and green outside. You want others in the silo to know. Do you do exactly what all the others have done before?

I would dance with joy, then beckon others to come join me outside through the sensor. Or maybe I'd give them the finger before I run away.

But I sure wouldn't do exactly what everyone else who went outside did, knowing that it did NOT make me see outside was beautiful, AND knowing it's exactly what "They" want me to do.

@muchietv Yep, it's an 8-episode miniseries with a clear ending.

The Good Fight

I was a big fan of The Good Wife and I loved the first two seasons of The Good Fight, but holy hell did it go to shit in the third season.

Let me preface by saying I'm a progressive and a staunch feminist. That being said, I still found season 3 unbearable. It's pandering, plain and simple: while The Good Wife regularly plundered the headlines and wore its politics on its sleeve, it still tried to tell a compelling story and presented its ideas in a nuanced manner. The character of Kurt, for instance, was created specifically to represent a more conservative point of view and present a foil for Diane's progressive views. In so doing, it gave us fantastic character drama.

Well, all that is gone in season 3. Now we get flashes of Eric and Don Junior as Diane throws axes to relieve her utter hatred of the Trump Administration. We get Diane arguing with a Trump-shaped bruise on her husband's shoulder, lamenting "Where did the men go wrong." We get Schoolhouse Rock-like interjections featuring shitty music that wink so hard at the audience that the writers must have sprained their eyelids writing them.

Again, my problem isn't with the show's political views. It's with the inane manner in which they've abandoned all objectivity and nuance to give us a bizarre, one-sided revenge fantasy where Diane rages on and on about Trump's existence. It's entertainment for the liberal echo chamber, not a clever discourse on modern politics.

And meanwhile, the characters have devolved into caricatures. If you liked how The Good Wife featured quasi-realistic courtroom drama, tough luck, the courtroom action no longer makes any damn sense.

And so I'm out. Although the first two seasons made it feel like The Good Wife could go on forever, I guess this is the moment I have to say goodbye. You folks had a good run, but somewhere along the way you bought your own cleverness and forgot to tell a gripping drama.

@ultrajante Yeah. Looking back, I think you're totally right. I think the first two seasons still feel part of TGW's universe, but you're right that they're not at the same level at all.

Humans: 3x08 Episode 8

It totally built up to a nice finale, but the only thing is they just had to introduce some mixing of blood magic crap into it, completely killing the sci-fi

loading replies

@daddy7860 Agreed. Ditto with that stupid "Your child is the future of both our species" crap.
