The Sandman is the opposite of "woke".
Because he puts people to sleep, you see. |

I think they had a 'woke' checklist and they ticked each item off every episode. It was adorable. Story and strong, consistent characterisation were thrown out of the window in favour of 'the message.'
I did enjoy the episode with Death, though. |
I think it’s adorable that you liked the “Death” episode considering how woke it was.
|
Vaq, there is literally nothing worse than people complaining about shows being woke. It screams of middle-aged virginity.
|
Yo! The last episode is quite bonkers…

Further proof that the guy called Gay Man is a penis |
Every quote Neil Gaiman comes out with makes me want to punch him in the face. Not understanding why PC culture was a bad thing and then doubling down on it is exactly why the West looks so fucking ridiculous to the rest of the world.
If he wants to treat people with respect he should stop churning out his childish dross and write something a big boy might enjoy. |
I stan Gay man.
Also, Seanny, catch up on Justified Primeval so we can complain about it (and celebrate some of it) together. |
Olyphant and Holbrook :eek: <3
|
It's a lot of handsomeness for one show. Almost too much.
|
Yeah I’ve been meaning to watch it but I ended up starting “Newsradio” from the 90’s and I can’t stop watching it. It’s fucking hilarious, even Joe Rogan is good in it.
|
I might start it tonight but I have two days off coming up so I can binge it if necessary
|
Phil Hartman was one funny dude… NewsRadio was carried on his and Stephen Root’s shoulders. Feels weird watching it knowing he’s a season or two away from dying…
|
Which streaming service is NewsRadio on? Will prob check that out when finished with Seinfeld.
|
It’s a pirate site that collects new stuff from pretty much all streaming services and old stuff from fuck knows.
|
Been watching what we do in the Shadows. Just got to season 4 after starting it a week ago.
|
I still haven’t seen season 5, season 4 was a real drop in quality.
|
Onto season 4 of “NewsRadio”, Phil Hartman’s last before he was murdered by his wife. He’s pretty much the only reason I’m still watching it, the episode quality is inconsistent but he and Stephen Root are always fantastic.
Hartman plays buttoned up crazy better than anybody, he looks completely normal so when his face changes into his intense, glazed, far-away expression but his voice stays strangely comforting… it cracks me up every time. I’ve only rewound his and Stephen Root’s best gags through three full seasons, and I haven’t done it many times. Still, he carries the show with his quality. I’m pissed off he died so young. He’d only be 70-ish now. |
Finally watched the first episode of Ahsoka. Man...it's truly going to be a grim day when Clancy Brown leaves us
|
Clancy deserves a starring role in a Fincher or Scorsese movie.
|
Does he trust his wife?
|
Seanny casually neglecting the brilliance of Khandi Alexander, who is also exceptional in Treme.
|
She’s alright, all tits and teeth though.
|
There’s a bit where Phil Hartman acts out the fantasy of having Diane Sawyer eat birdseed out of his hand and he pulls a completely insane face that fucking killed me. Just staring off into the distance leering like a nut. Fantastic stuff. I want to find a clip of it but it’s actually difficult to even find a reference to it online.

one of my fav's

Finished Star Trek: TNG Season 3, on to season 4.
Feel like halfway through Season 3 it "picked up" to "I can actually stomach to watch more than one episode a day" |
Living with Chucky on *Screambox* available elsewhere.
Shitty shitty editing. Don approved because it skimmed 1 and 2 so fast. |
the last half obvi has more energy

I've finished all three seasons of Lost in Space. It has a penchant for being corny, but beyond that it is a good adventure show that will appeal to those with kids. The first season is alright, but the second is far superior, and the final season is somewhere in between.
Over the last few days I've watched the seven episodes of Ahsoka that have been released and I'm just waiting for the final one. It is an improvement on the third season of The Mandalorian, but it is not as strong as Andor. I am, however, enjoying the gratuitous shots of Hera's and Sabine's derrieres. I've watched the first episode of season 2 The Wheel of Time. I'm waiting until the final episode of The Continental is out before I start that show, which should be at the end of this incoming week. |
Too many shows to keep up with, have paused my Western phase to get back up to date.
Been meaning to try out some themed reviews soon too, hopefully I can sort that out so I have extra incentive to get writing again. |
In continuing my recent trend of watching all the big name shows I never watched for whatever reason (things like The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, etc), I decided to go ahead and watch a more recent one I had been skipping: Yellowstone.
And again I feel like such a dumbass for not watching this the whole time save for the fact that I can watch straight through without having to wait years. Also I would like Bethany Dutton to do really bad things to me. |
If you haven't done already, you need to watch the prequel series to Yellowstone: 1883.
That series is top drawer. |
Started season 5 of WWDITS last night… it’s back to being brilliant. Nadja sucks now but they saved the show as a whole.
|
Quote:
1883 is perfect. I wanted more of it, but at the same time, didn't because it just is so well done. |
Season five of “What We Do In The Shadows” isn’t just a return to form, it’s one of the best seasons. Nadja spends four or five episodes sucking the fun out of her scenes but after that she’s golden again. Her tits seem bigger too, she must have had a kid.
I’m happy they got back on track, all they had to do was go back to basics. More from next door Sean too, he’s always a treat. |
Been watching Gen V. Loving it so far
Also Tek Knight |
I've completed the (presumably) first season of Ahsoka. Whilst it was watchable, I found it oddly flat, and it suffered from occasional lazy writing.
I've also finished the second season of The Wheel of Time. I always like a fantasy series, and this one is no exception. As I've never read the books, I don't know if and how they may have deviated from the source material, but it is enjoyable enough. |
