TV Academy Sweethearts

( www.reddit.com )

TV Academy Sweethearts I’m certain it isn’t just me that’s noticed this tradition where specific shows get favored during the Award season. By this I mean shows that keep getting multi nominated/win awards yearly which almost feels rigged despite them being great shows. I’m talking shows like Veep, Schitts Creek and the latest I just noticed, The Bear. How does a show…

Is HBO’s Rome worth sticking with if I’m bored after the first six episodes?

( www.reddit.com )

Is HBO’s Rome worth sticking with if I’m bored after the first six episodes? I started watching this show because I know it’s very highly acclaimed, but I’m six episodes in and I’m painfully bored. It just seems like a soap opera with togas. Season 1 is supposed to be about the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, but I feel like the show has spent far more time on the “oh no, what if my husband finds out that the baby …

I think Vikings: Valhalla is a good show with terrible writing

( www.reddit.com )

I think Vikings: Valhalla is a good show with terrible writing I’m not great with terms and naming what I’m seeing and thinking, so bear with me. It’s just weak. Like the shit they get into and the solutions don’t make sense or it seem like more effort could’ve gone into the writing. For instance Leif spends all those years learning, then used that knowledge to help and blow up the walls of the defending c…

Three Body Problem and 3 Body Problem feel like they were adapted from two completely different books

( www.reddit.com )

Three Body Problem and 3 Body Problem feel like they were adapted from two completely different books I initially watched the Netflix adaptation of Three Body Problem, which they renamed 3 Body Problem, and I’ll be honest…I was intrigued by the premise, of the futuristic VR game in particular (real Ready Player One vibes)…but all the characters, apart from Benedict Wong’s cop, were just insufferable. Like it seemed in quite a cynical move, t…

Is the original Suits worth watching before the new L.A. spin-off?

( www.reddit.com )

Is the original Suits worth watching before the new L.A. spin-off? I never got into the original Suits. Just wasn’t on my radar until much later. So I never bothered. However, I am a big fan of Stephen Amell and he’s supposed to be part of the new “spin-off/sequel series” or whatever it is. Which has me curious about watching it. My general policy has been to watch the original series if I plan on checking out …

“Dale the Whale” from “Monk”

( www.reddit.com )

“Dale the Whale” from “Monk” One of the very few non-lead characters I remember from “Monk” is “Dale the Whale”, a morbidly obese financier and overall bad guy. I was surprised to learn upon rewatching that all three appearances of “Dale the Whale” were by different actors! Adam Arkin in Season 1, Tim Curry in Season 2, and Ray Porter in Season 6. Any other examples in your…

Im on season 2 episode 9 of The O.C and so far it’s an AMAZING start

( www.reddit.com )

Im on season 2 episode 9 of The O.C and so far it’s an AMAZING start Although the season so far hasn’t managed to reach the heights of season 1, I don’t know, there’s a certain freshness to this season. For example, unlike season 1, I feel that the episodes end less with cliffhangers. Like, there’s a lot going on during the episode, but at the end, it’s peaceful and calm (Oh, and this season is so funny. Where se…

How faithful to the novel is the “The Name of the Rose” miniseries from 2019?

( www.reddit.com )

How faithful to the novel is the “The Name of the Rose” miniseries from 2019? It’s been years since I’ve watched the movie adaption with Sean Connery. I understand that it more or less removed everything but the criminal/mystery plot from the novel. Now I have watched the miniseries, and am wondering if all of the content that is in the series but not in the movie – the whole Anna, daughter of Dolcino arc for example – is…

Do you think the monster of the week format could come back

( www.reddit.com )

Do you think the monster of the week format could come back I don’t know… I kind of miss it. When it done right and combined with long story arc, it can be really incredible. Some of the greatest shows used this format like Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Veronica Mars… I’m actually working on a project with this kind of format. What do you think ? submitted by /u/Cailly_Brard7 …

Alone is one of the most intense “Reality Competition” Shows I’ve ever watched

( www.reddit.com )

Alone is one of the most intense “Reality Competition” Shows I’ve ever watched I spent some time relaxing over the weekend and decided to finally sit through this show “Alone”. When I heard about the concept, it reminded me immediately of “Survivor” and this show I use to watch called “Solitary” where 9 people are placed in individual pods and are put in endurance contests in hopes to win $50,000. This show is pretty much…

13 episodes is the perfect amount for a fully serialized show.

( www.reddit.com )

13 episodes is the perfect amount for a fully serialized show. 13 for fully serialized, 22 for semi serialized and episodic, 6-8 for miniseries. That is the perfect amount of episodes for each type of show. Most of these shows that get 6-8 episodes are either forced to stretch a movie into multiple episodes or forced to cram 20 episodes into 6-8 episodes. There’s never enough time to have a breather episod…

Agatha All Along Trailer After watching this trailer, I am the only one who wants 5 seasons of Kathryn Hahn in a procedural crime drama? Don’t get me wrong, I’ll watch Agatha All Along and I’ll probably enjoy it, but they really hooked me with those first 30 seconds, that’s the show I want to binge. submitted by /u/Ravenrose3

Can you tell me the name of a series that you feel reflects your life? Can you tell me the name of a series that you feel reflects your life? This could be a movie that mirrors your experiences, challenges, or roles in life, whether it relates to personal struggles, financial issues, or even the transition from hero to villain or any supporting role. submitted by /u/RegretQueasy
