Okay, I know that much now, but I feel like if I started watching Cheers first, I would have probably just written off Frasier and figured they were similar. I'm about 3/4 episodes into Cheers right now and still... eh.

Imho, Cheers doesn't get going until about halfway into season two. Then it really gets good once Diane is gone. That's season six, I believe.

Anyone else watching Love, Death, and Robots? My wife and I went through about half the episodes last night. I enjoyed most, outside of one (episode 3, The Witness... made me and my wife uncomfortable in a bad way). And some of them are just amazing (Suits, Sucker of Souls, When The Yogurt Took Over, Three Robots, and Good Hunting were my favorites).

[Benji]

No, but I have always loved The Animatrix and am hoping this is a modern version of that mixed with Black Mirror.

[Josh]

Shrill is a really good show. Episode 2 was tremendous.

Have you seen the conspiracy theory going around online that says that you get a different episode order depending on your sexuality?

Yeah, I mean, it has to be bogus. It seems like people are just getting different episode orders.

The list order here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9561862/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1

 

Is the one that we've gotten (We got up to Helping Hand).

Netflix responded to that tweet saying that they are testing 4 different episode orders.

Huh, well that is interesting

[Benji]

I like that idea, an anthology series doesn't need to be watched in order, so presenting it differently allows people to talk about different episodes instead of maybe getting a slow start and people missing out on a great episode at the tail end because not enough people saw it to talk about it.

Sureeeee ya don't have that info Netflix, sure ya don't.

I read an interview in which the makers of Love, Death and Robots said it was inspired by Heavy Metal, the cult 1981 film. Are they similar in any way other than the anthology structure? If it is, it won't interest me because I thought Heavy Metal was trashy nonsense whose soundtrack was its only appeal. If not, I might give it a look.

What even is Love, Death and Robots?

It's a Netflix anthology series of animated shorts that cover sci fi, fantasy, horror, etc. that's produced by David Fincher and Tim Miller (Deadpool).

[Ruki]

And short to boot! Of the ones that we've watched, none has been longer than 20 minutes. One of them was only like 5 minutes and it was great.

[livid]

It's actually ending!?!?

[Adam]

First Brexit, now this.

Everything is changing.

But now is as good a time as any to rewatch the entire thing from the start, I suppose. "Saving people, hunting things...the family business!"
