I tried to watch Debris as it was an original concept sci-fi show but was just lame as hell. The networks are too afraid to try anything different and just cranks out the same forumulaic shit over and over.
The audience is people who watch network TV. They donāt have high standards or expectations, so why bother?
Had no intention of watching the new Kids in the Hall because I thought it would be terrible. But I had a small edible last night (a rarity for me) and decided to watch the first episode. It was much funnier then expected, reccomended. Afraid to watch the rest sober now lol.

I have two sets of watching lists. Stuff while sober (serious drams mostly) and stuff I go to while high. Iām pretty sure I know which pile Kids in the Hall is going in.

Well, thereās a way to deal with that.
Just finished my first rewatch of Raised By Wolves. Even more amazing on 2nd viewing.
All of Ridley Scottās ideas that werenāt able to be fully fleshed out in films are here growing up.
Especially love the mix of religion and science in the form of hidden codes that add to the lore. Following the reddit is priming me for a 3rd viewing with all the encipherment baked into the the script and various details of the show.
The sheer amount of sci-fi pulp fiction loaded into this series is stunning. To pull from so many influences, so obviously, and still make something that feels this original is impressive.

Yeah Raised by Wolves is one of the best sci-fi things Iāve seen in quite some time.

I also started watching the new kids in the hall last night with low expectations and I ended up loving it.

+1 to this. Nice to see Jackie Chiles did well for himself after the latte situation.
Also Boschās daughter runs super-weird.
Guess assuming there would be a season 3 was a mistake. Thought otherwise until reading that David Simon had to beg for seasons 4 and 5 of the Wire.
Still think itās likely. Would be considerably more disappointing than Dirk Gently.

āWaitā¦ you just robbed a midget stripper?ā
Iām still saying give Jon Bernthal a movie whereās heās a police sergeant corrupting his unit but more dark violent and fucked up than this. The Hangover meets Training day
Upgrading my Bosch experience from ālikeā to āreally likeā. The cases kind of have a Scooby Doo feel to them but Iām still digging it. And I have to assume that the daughterās inability to run like a human being is a running gag in the production because they keep having her do it.

Major downgrade in Bosch quality with regards to opening credits music. Otherwise legacy seems good so far.
I only watched the first Bosch Jr. ep and got bored. Are they still fucking swearing all the fucking time for no fucking reason?
I havenāt noticed that at all.
