Smashing through season 4 of Fargo. Has every chance to top season 2 in my book, which I didn’t think was possible….
baby got stack….

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Season 2 of Fargo is some of my all time favourite TV. Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers
-
@DeeDee85 heck yeah!

@ÆRϺΔΚ - loving Pluribus

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot bringing me back w the Fargo Season 2 shout out! Kirsten Dunst and Mike Milligan is some all time entertainment. Season 4 didn’t do it for me first time through and making me think may need to rewatch… I’d be curious on your thoughts when you get around to season 5 🥸

@flannel-slut I was about halfway through when I wrote that, and it kinda sputtered out from there. Personally, I wouldn’t bother watching it a second time through (which is usually a sign of how I feel).
Season 2 remains the high water mark by a long shot….

Pluribus is great. Had no idea what to expect. In fact, if you don't know the premise, don't read up on it. Just watch it.
Welcome to Derry is also spectacular, if you like that sort of nightmare Stephen King IT vibe.

@Nick I’m going to “hate watch” Pluribus but I feel like they are missing so many opportunities for Carol. Im screaming at my tv for her to ask all the questions the viewer is wanting to know.
The grocery store scene was drug out and a waste of time. Yes, she has the joystick to the entire population but the viewer already gets that. They didn’t need to go through it so slowly.
Im definitely not some Tv show savant but this one has me disappointed this far.

Also, have you watched “All Her Fault” on Apple TV?
It’s shot well and the twists and turns are crazy and numerous, but the dialogue is written really poorly. They have way too many conversations that would never happen in real life, just to provide plot and backstory to the viewer. It’s maddening for all the excellent actors to be lowered by bad writing.

@jordanscollected I hear you, it's not bothered me in the same way and I think the final ep I watched, it sort of clicks for her. We'll see where it goes. They reckon they have 3 seasons planned - so hence the slow brooding start maybe.
Re: All Her Fault - have heard it's awful.
There's another discussion in amongst it all. TV shows on streaming platforms, their narrative structure, dialogue, framing and so on - it's all designed to make sure you can watch it + your phone screen at the same time, swapping between the two rather than competing for your attention completely. I'm sure not all tv shows are designed for our impossibly bleak attention spans but also, there's a fair amount that blatantly it. Hence lack of quality perhaps in some.
Having said that, there's still a lot of great things to focus on totally (if you can put your phone down long enough lol).
