April last time I checked

[discoplasm@piefed.zip]

off the top of my head: The Terror (S1), Interview with the Vampire, Extraordinary, Black Sails, Righteous Gemstones, Kingdom (the korean one not the lars von trier one), The Last Kingdom (unrelated to previous yet both involve swords ), Orphan Black, Taskmaster

like many here i am still enjoying Fallout as well. and looking forward to Paradise coming back this month too. i think i also want to try getting onto Spartacus (yes more swords) because i heard good things about House of Ashur

I got recommended it when I was looking for something similar to Fargo. It's so good but came out during a time when Amazon wasn't that far into streaming, so didn't get proper marketing to make people aware of such a gem.

[iturnedintoanewt@lemmy.world]

Yeah the plot becomes a bit more unhinged every season. I still watch it though, friggin Gary Oldman in one of his acidest roles.

[iturnedintoanewt@lemmy.world]

It was left unfinished if i recall correctly, right?

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

firefly tops my list. for movies its lotr and for tv its firefly.

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

I felt the same. Especially the very end of season 1.

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

I certainly would not call kripke the best but he sure knows how to keep a series going without it going completely to shit. I found supernatural entertaining right to the end even with its best days behind it. Hard to believeI started watching it with smallville. Its not the same thing but kinda reminds me of john doe. It wa entertaining enough to watch but once firefly was canceled not decent enough to be sitting down and catching the episodes. I think streaming saved supernatural and that it was a bit better than john doe. Still if I could not catch it whenever I wanted I think I would have missed a few episodes and then that would have been that.

Are you confusing Dark with 1899? After Dark performed so well, the creators started working on 1899 (which had similar vibe and was also a sci-fi mystery). However, it was cancelled after just one season. To my knowledge, Dark was not cancelled and did have a complete story (although admittedly I didn't finish the final season so I could be mistaken).

[mimicjar@lemmy.world]

I binged the series this past year, so while there were ups and downs during the five season run, I felt it was fairly consistent overall. I'm looking forward to the next season, especially catching it as it airs.

[mimicjar@lemmy.world]

I rewatched Pluribus with a friend this past weekend after watching it week to week originally. It was a totally different show, but also the same ultimate conclusion.

Week to week I was left with so many questions and not fully expecting what would come next. Watching it in a binge the season felt so fast paced. Whenever the current time would come up it was almost impossible to really understand how little time had actually passed.

Some episodes only a few hours would pass, but what an hour. Other episodes weeks would pass, but it felt like an hour.

By the last episode ~75 days have passed, but it feels like forever.

Have you watched Gen V? I really enjoyed it, but it had a weird off screen arc between season one and two since we had a season of The Boys, which shifted where the universe was.

[unclearthur@lemmy.world]

Nope, it definitely finished, and it also nailed the ending, despite me being so utterly lost by S3E5 that I couldn't see how they'd possibly wrap it up in a logical and satisfying manner. Season 3 was a complete mind-fuck and I nearly stopped watching; in hindsight it was incredible. It's the sort of show which is actually better on a second viewing, where you know the basic plot and can focus on the characters and foreshadowing.

Sadly, the follow-up 1899 was cancelled after one season, so we were left with a massive cliffhanger.

[tollana1234567@lemmy.today]

season 2 seems better than season 1. With season 1 people had problems with the actor that died in a vehicle accident. andre? he has been found to have following Pro-maga memes, and supporting trump, so he was on his way out anyways. season 2 is more coherent, as it connects 4 and 5 of boyz.

[tollana1234567@lemmy.today]

i started rewatching some SGU episodes(disjointed) onyoutube, old videos that havnt been copyright striked(yes whole episodes of sga and sgu, but not all seasons). they shouldve continued with that instead of "a new series reimiangined". sgu would be nice if they continued that series rather than a rehash of the og ones. We know the actors got pretty old, maybe that can explain it away by bringing a new team on board the destiny.

the most recent doctor, ncuti was a pretty weak series, even jodie was better.

supernatural 1-5 was kripke that why it was called golden age, and silver was season 6,8(not 7, it seemed pretty bland and too fanmade sexualizing the leads), and only 11 where "a sister god" was the archenemy of the season.

[tollana1234567@lemmy.today]

never liked nutrek enough to care about paramount+, especially with the skydance merger not likely to support it anyways. get rid of people like KURTZMAN. netflix had gamera rebirth and singular point godzilla, but thier ip is probably tied to japan so they cant really continue a series.

[mimicjar@lemmy.world]

I had no idea about Chance Perdomo. I really enjoyed his performance in season 1, and thought that season 2 had an abrupt start because his character was missing (understandable given that he had passed). Perhaps, in a world where he was cut, season 2 would have had a rough start regardless.

My main issue with season 2 is that it only worked as an in-between season of The Boys season 4 and 5. It was a great in-between, but Gen V setup a great story line for The Boys season 4, but that show just ignored Gen V.

Either Gen V needed lower stakes, or Gen V needed to play a major role in The Boys and The Boys needed to continue that story.

I'm excited for the finale of The Boys, but I'm also excited that once it's over Gen V will get the freedom to control the larger narrative of the universe.
