General Television Thread 2023

[Benji]

I really wish more people watched The Americans. I genuinely think it's the most criminally ignored TV show from TVs golden age. Arguably one of the best finales too. If anyone is looking for a drama to invest six seasons in and hasn't seen it, do so.

Elvira in the Goldbergs, this woman is 71 and hasn't aged a day.

The Devils Hour is phenomenal. Well worth the six hours. Can't wait for more.

[Gabriel]

Has anyone watched the Interview with the Vampire series yet?

I'm intrigued, but I am also a massive fan of the novels and the original film, and am worried that the changes made may not be for me.

Yeah, I quite liked it. The performances are really really great.

Yeah this was ine if the better mini-series I've watched recently, didn't realise it was renewed, so that's great news.

As someone who never played any of the games (tried 1 but for some reason I couldn't get into it) I really enjoyed it

[Bobfoc]

Having played the game and having heard that it's a very faithful adaptation, I'm not sure I can really be bothered to watch it. I doubt it's going to surprise me at all.

That said, it's probably better suited to television. With the game, there was the age-old issue of ludonarrative dissonance, in that there had to be plenty of combat to make it fun, but it meant that a gruff, middle-aged dad and a young teenager could mow down dozens of professionally trained soldiers. With a non-interactive medium, that's not something they have to put in.

[Your Mom]

The acts of violence that need to take place for them to survive do carry a lot more weight now in my opinion. I may be a slave to the moment right now but I was blown away by how well they handled one of my favorite games of all time. It's proving that in the right hands anything is possible

That 90's show isn't good, feels like a zombie show. The older actors are fine if not great, the kid actors are quite weak aside the neighbour kid who is best friends with Donna and Eric's daughter.

Damn, it's bittersweet. It kinda felt like it was reaching it's conclusion, not much else to do except bring back Hilary Swank. But love this show so much, wish it could keep going. 

Cobra Kai never dies.

I already thought season 6 was the last so I'm fine with it. I don't usually bother rewatching shows but I can already see myself watching the whole all Iver again when it's done.

[GoGo Yubari]

With the way they ended season 5 anything but "season 6 is the last one" would have felt like the show going completely off the rails tbh. You can't really escalate too far beyond what they did in that one.

[Benji]

Yeah I thought it was official already to be honest. Better to go out on top than go on too long.

[Ruki]

Legends of Vox Machina season 2 has been fantastic so far.

I thought it was OK.  The chemistry between the kids got better as the season went on I thought, which makes sense.

But yea, the older actors were great.  Especially the actress who played Sherri.  She stole every scene she was in

Surprised they are going to continue the show without the voice of the titular characters.
