One thing I’ll say about 2000-2020 is that it’s given me an understanding of why people who had lived through 1930-1945 would like their entertainment simple, bland, and uplifting.

I loved Godless, didn’t make the connection to QG.
There’s absolutely no chance that the killer is not
Kidman’s blond mom friend who it wound up that Grant slept with
right?

That’s been my hunch too, since
he mentioned there had been one other affair, and didn’t want to name her
Ah i guess yea that could be, didn’t she make some comments about Elena at the party like she was jealous of her and maybe make some comments about the husband prior to the murder as well?I feel like they might just drop a bunch of red herrrings “The Killing” style tho
It’s obviously
Donald Sutherland’s housekeeper

I haven’t watched Episode 4 yet so I haven’t read all your spoilers, but I just wanted to join in the conversation.

Yeah Godless wasn’t QG level, but still pretty solid. Its disappointing there wasn’t another season. Feels like there should be at least one good actual western series running. I’ve resorted to trying to slog through Frontier.

We had an excellent watch party for that if you want to time warp back to our discussion in the watch party thread

I read that the undoing is only six episodes???wtffffffff
Good. And for the love of christ keep it as a contained mini-series. I am jumping ship if they announce s2.

Ya I didn’t open the article but when I Googled there was a headline about no season 2 confirmed at least as of yet, they kept the night of to 1 season tho, shoulda kept big little lies to 1 as well
I am in total agreement about Big Little Lies. Having said that! Season 2 is fantastic and I’m making an exception just this once.
Yea I enjoyed season 2 as well, but easily coulda been kept to 1

The US needs to embrace the one off stand alone series instead of being money grubbing capitalist pigs trying to drain every last cent out of something.

Yeah, I find my self much more enjoying shows that have a contained one season story.
The UK is much better at doing it. They’re also better at doing shorter seasons of regular shows so the quality doesn’t dip.
I think British television set the mold with I, Claudius. Give us a one-season drama with a definitive ending. In America, the shows drag on for years and years until we discover the lead actor is a sex pest or there’s a pandemic and production has to shut down and we get a completely unsatisfying ending.

The New Mutants is inconceivably awful. I mean on every level it is one bad decision after another.
There is one funny part where they added a CGI television in the background playing an episode of Buffy to convince us this wasn’t originally shot as though taking place in the 80s.
I will have to check, but while the episode of Buffy playing was s4e10 “Hush,” I’m pretty sure none of the footage on the TV is actually from that episode. Did they CGI fan fiction footage??
