Television

Did you enjoy Big Little Lies? Gotta suggest Little Fires Everywhere. The first three eps are on Hulu. And although the book has been on my radar since it came out, I never read it. Anyway, it's on a similar level in terms of some themes (and characters) that Big Little Lies had. Although it being on Hulu definitely shows they don't have quite the same budget as BLL. That aside, I recommend it.

I started it last night and am enjoying it so far. Reese plays the privileged overbearing white lady so damn well!

People, I need some advice here.
We're in sort of quarantine so all I do is watching series on Netflix.
A couple of years ago I watched Iron Fist, that was incredibly bad that not even the hot main actor could save it. I never watched another Marvel series (except Inhumans, because Iwan Rheon, but shit, that was even worse than Iron Fist).
So a couple of days ago I read that David Tennant was on Jessica Jones, and I have a crush on Tennant so I watched it and THAT SHOW WAS AMAZING. Loved that the bad guy had some super power, that she has super powers but she's also complex and fucked up, and the secondary characters actually add something to the story.
But then I knew that I wanted to watch the rest of Jessica Jones I had to watch Dardevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders and The Punisher.
So, I'm in quarantine and I said why not, let's watch this shit.

Daredevil was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOORINNNNNNNGGGGGGG.
Ffs, I can't believe I watched two seasons of that crap. I actually didn't watch it. I could press play, watch five minutes, go to the store and buy some groceries, then come back and nothing had happened. He is an idiot, and the bad guys are so stupid and boring. I want to watch people with special powers, not a blind guy who knows karate and a bad guy who has anger issues.

Sorry for the rant.
My question is:
Has anybody watched the whole universe of series? Is it worthy to watch the rest, or the bad guys are ninja drug dealers in the rest of the shows (mainly Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and The Defenders -there's no way in hell IM gonna watch Iron Fist again, not even if he's naked the whole season)

Have you watched "You" yet? If not I highly recommend it.
 
Anyone watch Altered Carbon? I'm a bit behind. I had started a long while ago but never finished it due to time constraints and other things. Picked it back up a week back or so and glad I did. Season 1 was phenomenal. Can't wait to dig into season 2.

Man, I tried so hard. I just didn't like it. I also am one of the few that didn't.

I am coming to the realization that I'm really picky about Sci-Fi.

The beginning took a little to get past. But I love the design of the show and the story ramped up like 2-3 eps in.
it reminds me of a cross between like... blade runner & into the badlands

Watched the first two tonight and man, that second episode just kept having these reveals of insanity. Anxious to watch the rest.

One of the few docu-series that I wanted to restart as soon as I finished it.

I watched the trailer and it seemed a bit too crazy. I kind of want some escapism from *gestures to everything outside my window*. But perhaps this is just crazy enough to make me laugh? Should I start it?

Yes.

I was skeptical too honestly. It didn't look like something I'd be interested in, but then I remembered I saw Joe Exotic on an old Louis Theroux documentary. I remember him making a weird impression on me, so I decided to give it a shot. It's definitely an escape from everything else going on right now, but it still has some heavy stuff in it. Most of it is just completely ridiculous, and sometimes really funny, but there are layers of darker stories within it too.

I went in only knowing what little I knew about Joe Exotic, so it's been a lot of fun to see how it keeps escalating and spiraling out.

Alright, you all have convinced me. I'm almost done with the most recent season of Better Call Sau on Netflix, so this will be next.

And then Ozark on Friday!
