Reply to why do series shows always have so many seemingly random people directing every episode? by OctoberRust13
TV directing is a little more just about the pure technical production than film directing, where the director has more or less all the control over the whole product.
In TV the showrunner is the person closest to the film director, and then a rotating staff of directors handle the nitty-gritty of on-set production.

Well yea. If you want to hear a version of "reality" that doesn't contradict the interpretation of conservative politics that Americans have in 2022, Fox News is pretty much the only place to go on TV.
If you're liberal or moderate, you don't need to go to CNN or MSNBC because you can find real information from a variety of other sources.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if more non-conservatives get more of their information by actually reading as opposed to staying glued to cable news 24/7.

The finale of Season 4 has an event that massively affects the show, and things seem to change from there. It's not an immediate plummet in quality, but it does definitely start to shift there.

The Get Shorty series on EPIX was so damn good, and it seemed like maybe 55 people total saw it. Probably the deadest subreddit I’ve ever seen for a TV series.
Anybody who likes Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul/Fargo/Barry would find it right up their alley.

Awesome show, but the first few seasons are really lightyears better than the rest. There's still good stuff throughout and the finale is great, but there's soooo many really dumb storylines.

Reply to comment by bathorthegenius in Which is the most ambiguous and confusing out of the following shows? by bathorthegenius
Neither Dark or Westworld are very ambiguous, as there's lots of explaining. You do almost need a flowchart or visual aid to get it all, but there's not much left open to interpretation.
Twin Peaks I'd say is the one where things happen and you kinda get some reasons, but part of the vibe of the show is that there's mysterious shit in the universe none of us can ever really understand. As far as literal ambiguity goes, it wins.
tinoynk t1_ixb2bcp wrote
Westworld is the most confusing in a bad way.
Dark is the most confusing in a good way.
Twin Peaks original run is weird but not really that confusing, season 3 is definitely more abstract, but it also doesn't really try to explain a lot of things, so it might fall more into the ambiguous/open to interpretation category.
1899 isn't confusing partially because they don't reveal the twist but tease things for the entire season, and I don't think the reveal is interesting enough to take a whole season to set up, though with the way it ends I could see a season 2 being a lot more interesting depending the direction it goes.
Game of Thrones isn't confusing or ambiguous at all, but you do have to keep track of a decent number of characters. The Wire would be even another level in terms of the pure number of characters and storylines you need to keep track of.
I only saw a few episodes of Lost and The Prisoner, I remember enjoying Lost and thought The Prison was boring as shit, partially because I had no idea what was going on.
I only saw an episode of Mindhunter but it seems pretty straightfoward.
Monty Python is probably confusing because its an absurdist comedy, but it's supposed to be funny so it is what it is.

Okay geez it takes a whole 2 episodes, but 1899 still takes basically the entire season before you're filled in on what's happening.
I totally understand people might like that, but to me it gets distracting when you're trying to piece things together, as opposed to seeing an organically developing storyline based on a single, easy-to-grasp central conceit.

Reply to 1899 Is A Phenomenal! A Worthy Spiritual Successor To Dark - It Succeeds Where Dark Failed by AnakinRagnarsson66
I really disagree with 1899 being fast paced/"grabbing" the view earlier. With Dark, right off the bat you know it's time travel and the fun/twists just come naturally from that.
With 1899, there's so much focus on what the "twist" is, and to me the explanation isn't really interesting enough to make it feel worth it.
That said, the final shot did intrigue me, and if the show evolves into something besides re-doing season 1 over and over, I could get more into it.

Repulsion might be a bit much for someone just starting to casually getting into movies but the rest are great choices.
I’d also throw in Touch of Evil.

The best wildlife we have is the birds of prey. It’s pretty amazing being in the asphalt jungle and then see a red tailed hawk just tear into a dirty ass pigeon.

I went to Jones Wood Foundry on the UES a few months ago and the place was absolutely packed with people watching some soccer game. It’s an English-style pub/restaurant so I’m guessing the soccer crowds only amass for English games or maybe a specific team, but seemed like a fun time if you’re a soccer fan.
