Television

Alright, I just finished Station Eleven and everyone on here was right; this was an amazing show. It all comes together beautifully. It feels like almost a spiritual sequel to The Leftover in both style and tone (I know one of the guys behind The Leftovers was also behind Station Eleven). The execution and cinematography and score were all brilliant. I was fairy skeptical going in but it’s probably the best thing I’ve seen on TV all of 2021.

The more time since I've watched it and the more I've appreciated it as I've thought through it. The actor who played Clark did such an amazing job. I'm thinking of writing an essay on it soon so I need to do a rewatch.
 
We watched The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window yesterday while I was grading papers. It's certainly a unique contribution to the mystery and the parody of mystery genre. It's not brilliant, but without much to compare it to it stands alone in some ways. It's one of those shows that I enjoyed watching, but mainly because it had enough weirdness and occasional funny stuff to pull me through it.

I watched that too..it’s a blatant piss take of the whole gone girl / girl on the train ... movie ...not sure how many would watch a series 2 after basically being mugged off at the end of series 1..
 
Just finished the final season of The Expanse. It really is one hell of a show!

Well, what I assume is the final season anyway, I think I saw somewhere that they aren't making any more and it seemed to all tie together? Although, I do wonder if they had Filip escape at the end to allow for a spin-off or something.

I've been watching this too - not done so no spoilers please. I think the humor in it is mostly because a lot of the people on the show plays their part so seriously but what's happening is just so ridiculous you can't help but to laugh.

Like that handyman who fixes her mailbox for like years on end. At first I was like - WTF is that guy doing? Why's he taking so long on that mailbox?? Does it really take days to do that? Then it gets revealed by Anna's ex-husband that he hired him years ago and that he's a rehabilitated exmurderer and he's been working on it for years! And she didn't find anything wrong with that until now!

That's good to hear, I thought E1 was just kind of ok. We didn't watch E2 last night but I'm sure we'll get to it with a big ol' snowstorm coming through the next couple days.

I just finished the first episode and I'm in love. I can't wait to watch the next one. I'm only really limited by how much of this my husband can handle at one time.

I have to get back to this post holidays now, tx for the reminder
 
Has anyone watched the new Reacher series on Prime?

Im a big fan of the Jack Reacher books, they are so easy to read, but I have always felt it would be hard to capture his character on screen.

It's really good to see depth and character in American acting here. It's becoming a lost art IMHO. Carrie Coon is a highlight indeed. Having Fellowes helps I'm sure.
 
Reacher.
I like it for what it is. But the anti-Venezuelan propaganda in Amazon shows is transparent. And it's unintentionally funny at times. A few terrible lines of dialog, but not as much in later episodes.
