Episodes of The City And The City are stockpiling up here but I haven't peeked. Anyone here watching?
The best thing I can say about The Looming Tower is that Tahar Rahim is an incredible actor.

Three Fox shows cancelled. Would have liked one more season of LMOE, Brooklyn 99 is still funny, and stopped watching The Mick, though I liked it OK.

The Expanse also cancelled and, if rumours are true, not looking good for Lethal Weapon.
LMOE can't have been helped by its bizarre scheduling but it seemed noticeable that the best episodes of recent seasons have been ones where the regular cast members are absent.
― groovypanda, Friday, 11 May 2018 08:00 (six years ago) link
I’m mad about the Mick and LMOE for sure. Word is that a final season of LMOE will be shopped to Hulu at some point.
― Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Friday, 11 May 2018 16:16 (six years ago) link
One other problem with LMOE was that Forte's character was frequently very annoying, which was his deal, but made the show hard to watch at times.
― nickn, Friday, 11 May 2018 17:26 (six years ago) link
show got really stale and the characters are all very inconsistent.

for some reason I kept assuming that show lasted maybe two seasons and am confused when confronted with anything that contradicts that
I like the actors and everything, I just didn't get why it'd be an ongoing thing

things got pretty heated on set at Lethal Weapon apparently so I’m not surprised they cancelled. bummer tho, i liked Crawford & Wayans together & enjoy the show;_; the Expanse tho ;_;
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 12 May 2018 04:03 (six years ago) link
I am confused by what happened on the LW set but I hope Crawford gets good/better work more in line w/ Rectify
― Simon H., Saturday, 12 May 2018 04:30 (six years ago) link
readimg btw the lines of the Deadline story it sounded like Crawford in one incident had a Christian Bale-flip-out-over-the-tiniest-thing reaction to noise nearby; and then got Wayans in the firing line of shrapnel while directing bcz he wasn’t paying enough attention? The crux tho is that the show is hampered by not having a laser-focused executive producer who can mediate the situation & run a tight ship to avoid dumb things like that. Stupid shit has been allowed to escalate & it’s hard to run a show that way. A shame, imoSorry for sounding like an Access Hollywood subreddit there, yeesh

Seems like Crawford was a complete ass then. Shame, as he's a great actor

maybe he didn't get that he was supposed to be like the mel gibson on the set of the original lethal weapon, not like the mel gibson getting pulled over by a cop in real life
both involve cops, maybe easy to confuse

Although I remember being devastated as a kid when I found out Ponch & Jon from Chips hated each other in real life
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 17:13 (six years ago) link
I remember hearing that Jon thought he was going to be the star/heartthrob with a Latino sidekick, but the more charismatic (and better looking) Ponch got most of the attention. My sisters got teen mags back then and Ponch had much more coverage.

Talk about self-delusion; Jon looked like a thumb in a blond wig.

I just finished Atlanta S2, goddamn so goodi’m way behind on Expanse but loving it.dragging it out now that its cancelled 😫i’m still behind on Westworld. But less motivated to catch up. the blurry timeline thing is driving me fucking nuts. its so disorienting it makes me kinda angry
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 21 May 2018 03:46 (six years ago) link
have we talked about Barry already? I was sort of on the fence bc storylines about acting have never been that interesting to me. then in ep3 Winkler had the line 'gum is at the REGISTER, Barry' and now I properly love it.

Can anyone remember the name of a french series that lasted two seasons where a bunch of kids die in a bus accident then come back to life and the dam they went off breaks?

Rosanne has been cancelled, as a result of Barr's latest racist tweet.

(As noted on the Roseanne thread, of course.)

Reverie was kinda cool, saw the pilot.
It’s an AI matrix game kinda show with super cool fox and occult imagery. It’s not original but it looks great and is some comfort pablum

i dunno but a few forgiveably unrealistic moments aside (has no one in this show ever heard of "backup"?) it's pretty irresistible, which I'm mainly putting down to the two lead actresses who are reliably fantastic

anybody watched patrick melrose? mainly wondering how it stacks up to the books
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 June 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
I watched 3 episodes and hated every moment. Adult Patrick was such an asshole that I could not possibly care less about how he got that way, and Child Patrick was such a bland void that I didn't care at all about his off-camera suffering.
― grawlix (unperson), Wednesday, 13 June 2018 19:29 (five years ago) link
ah ok nm then
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 June 2018 19:30 (five years ago) link
lol i checked it out myself and i really like it. extremely faithful to the books but not without its own sense of play. takes advantage of the opportunity to be more visually funny than textually, though the inner monologue/hearing voices scenes don't translate well (sometimes i think the show is cherrypicking the least remarkable phrases from the novel but it's hard to tell). i also question putting the second book first but i guess drugs are more exciting and romantic than members of the english aristocracy insulting each other over dinner. looking forward to mother's milk in the hopes we spend less time with patrick bc he gets tiresome in the books too and his secondary role in that one is almost a relief. even then, cumberbatch is pretty good in this. hugo weaving was a perfect choice for david

Is there a KILLING EVE thread? It's fantastically enjoyable. Even better than Fleabag. It's not out in the UK yet but well worth bingeing.

i watched the first ep of Cobra Kai - total corny fan service but i kinda like it. I also like to think that they maybe cheaped out on production to pay for johnny’s 80’s douchebag soundtrack: Poison & Foreigner lol
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 15 June 2018 03:03 (five years ago) link
I binged all of Cobra Kai in like two days, it's better than I expected, the arcs and characters went differently than I had anticipated.
