I have a bad feeling BCS is going to get completely shut out next year. The Emmys have never seemed interested in rewarding them and with over a year between the finale and the show itself I don't see it picking up much.

Yessss! There's nothing like this on TV rn, I fucking love it. I'm worried about the five season plan but for now it's fun as fuck and totally gross. So good.

I can vouch for the same problems on a Roku device.

I hear you that sounds fricken annoying and just saying "buy an apple product" is not helpful and comes across as super dick ridey.
BTW I had issues with them too on a Roku device. Pachinko was borderline unwatchable because I don't fricken speak Korean and I had the same issues you had. It's an Apple problem, it's not your TV.

Idk, this show got absolutely no buzz when it aired. I watched both seasons concurrently and hardly anyone was ever talking about it. It's also not great. It's fine. Funny in places. Hard meh from me personally with the exception of a couple episodes.

I rewatched it recently and knowing how it ended I felt it could have been an episode shorter, but I kind of like the slow nature of it. The atmosphere of that show is so uncomfortable and they kind of make you stew in it. I can feel the humid air when I watch that show.

True, I just think the first two seasons spun their wheels a bit and in the third it kicked into a higher gear. BB never felt like that.

I disagree, I think BCS has pacing issues and they could have moved a little faster. I love how it ended up in the end, but you could tell the writers had nothing in mind for endgame in the first two seasons. Great show, but probably could have been five seasons.

They honestly just seemed like they needed more time to develop the 90s and the journey to Mars. And I guess the further from earth they get the more Sci fi it will become but it just didn't feel as grounded at all.

Yeah that longer I've sat in season 3 of FAM the less I've liked it in my mind. I'll be there for season 4 but honestly it needs to be really good if I'm going to keep watching. I don't think it's unsalvagable at all for the record and the last few of episodes of season 2 are pretty fucking incredible.

There's a flat out excellent episode in the last season. It ultimately didn't mean much with that episode that followed but still some really really great moments in s8e2

Most of the characters don't even like Janine that much. It's not quite at the "through friendship we will do anything and everything we want because it's wholesome" level that parks and rec eventually landed on.

I know about Lady Stoneheart. I understand the fantasy elements are important to the story, I just said they're my least favorite parts. I didn't ask for them to be removed or anything.

Succession is on track to be on the GOATs with season 4 being its last and Severance has one of the best pilot seasons of a show I've ever seen. Highly recommend both.

Ashamed to admit I'm one of the people that this was for. Everytime the show turned into dragon fest i was bored. The dragons are easily my least favorite part of HOTD too. I like the political drama, not so much the fantasy elements.

I think some of the episodes have been hit and miss a little bit but overall I'm loving this show. So happy to see it renewed and that Peacock is taking a chance on a more classic style of storytelling.

You're absolutely right about it not being as horror focused as the games were at times. I think the tones are slightly different, the show seems a tad more optimistic and tbh more soft than the game. Not a complaint, just an oberservation. Cant wait for the last three eosidoes.

I'm actually surprised by home much they are leaving to the imagination when it comes to the violence. Not that I mind but after seeing what Joel will do to NPC's and what they'll do to him it all feels pretty tame compared to the game.

Almost all of these apply to the first half of the first episode. They asked if it was violence and they gave them clear examples without directly spoiling a damn thing.

I love that people are calling Apple risk takers. Are they making high quality good shit? Yeah. They are a trillion dollar company, their TV brand is probably less than 1 percent of their earnings. They can afford to take huge swings.
