I thought MotA was uneven, but still fairly good. Better than The Pacific but not as good as Band of Brothers. Definitely felt like it needed a 10th episode so the story had more room to breathe.

The Pacific was just brutal meat for the gristle.

I could understand why it took some of those guys a long while to get back to some semblance of normalcy. 

I don't envy the conditions they had to endure.

Masters of the Air, while not as brutal, still made you realize that these guys still went through a different kind of hell (especially before the P-51's could escort them the whole sortie).

Conan O'Brien Must Go.

Half way through Disney's Percy Jackson series, and I'm pleasantly entertained.

Season 2 approved.

My kiddos read the books, and they weren’t complaining while watching it.

Now the movie version?  They were complaining within the first five minutes.😅

One of the reasons I've always enjoyed anime – is when they take established stuff and go 180 degrees wild with it.

That Grimm Variations looks worth a watch.

So, the first Movie was a sucess?

 

[TangledThorns]

Finished the second season finale of TOKYO VICE on Max. Really good and tied up the series well. Doubt there will be a third season though.

[Thom]

About three episodes in on Renegade Nell and I am really liking it. A bit of quirky fun, nice action and effects and some real good acting, IMO. I like the gimmick of her powers.

Not saying it wasn’t a bit funny, but it’s more funny that the cast members can’t keep from laughing at their own jokes

oh, cmeon.

I have good ideas, but they throw money in trash like these!

It’s one of those examples of a show that got too many viewers through hate watching causing the studio to do an additional season’s based on numbers. 

I personally haven’t watched it, but I know several that did and hated every episode either hoping for it to get better or to have something to talk about.

I did do something similar with that Rings of Power show hoping every episode that the next would be better and even though the show was disliked by a good majority that watched, they decided on a second season of that as well for the same numbers reason

They hate it so much, they must secretly love it!🤪

I kinda doubt it’s a secret love thing. It’s probably a love for the franchise and wishing for it to be treated better.

I remember watching that horrible Obi show and I should have just quit, but it gives that feeling that if you don’t watch, then you’re gonna regret missing something epic. But shows like Obi and Rings of Power just ended up epic letdowns

That's what made it so hilarious, watching Heidi Gardner absolutely lose it was comedy gold.

I'm convinced that during the dress rehearsal Mikey Day didn't look like that.

A skit like that is made for the cast to break and it feels good to laugh right along with them.

I'm amazed that Keenan Thompson didn't break, especially all the background actors.

As one YouTuber commented, "Those are some STONE-FACED background actors." 

[Mog]

It’s not like they’re talking about someone’s friend, “Biggus Dickus.”

[Thom]

...or Shweddy Balls...

That's because Keenan is a professional! LOL. Seriously, though. Keenan is the only reason I check out SNL via Youtube on Sunday mornings.

Usually the sketches with him, he’s the only one that breaks. It’s very rare to see him keep a straight face

[Mog]

If you ever see the skit with the Muppets and Keegan-Michael Key, yeah, you’ll see Keenan break a few times.

I still watch the show when a new episode hits Hulu, but it’s been lagging the last few seasons. They should bring back Herbert. They haven’t had that old man in a long time and I also really miss Death even after he was recast

Knuckles sneak peek

One episode in and this so far has my attention to watch more. 

 

[Big s]

Anybody watching the Sympathizer on max?

 Had a question while watching the second episode. Nothing to do with the main character and his Aquaman moment, but are all the older white guys played by Robert Downey Junior or is he just disguising himself. I was a bit confused on that.

It’s Zack Snyder, so it has a god chance at being terrible. He should probably go back to doing zombie stuff, his other things are pretty bad. Hopefully this doesn’t rely on slomo, although the animators would probably appreciate it if it did
