Have you watched any TV shows recently you want to discuss? Any shows you want to recommend or are hyped about? Feel free to discuss anything here.
Please just try to provide fair warning of spoilers if you can.
I am not at all a fan of the hospital fiction genre, but The Pitt is incredibly gripping and well grounded, lacking the soap opera feel typical of ER-style shows. The dialogue flows naturally and none of the staff are dei ex machina of pinpoint-relevant archaic medical trivia.
I'd recommend it, but only after it finishes on 10 April; the tension never drops and every episode is somewhat of a cliffhanger, so it's a little unsatisfying to watch week-to-week. The series will be 15 ~50m episodes covering a single 7am-9pm shift.
does the acting get better after the first episode?
quick edit: it does! If you don't like blood, absolutely do not watch this! hahaha
I'd say the main cast is pretty consistent and the patients are hit-or-miss throughout just due to their sheer quantity. Any in particular that negatively stood out to you?
this is pretty good. But yeah, the first twenty minutes and some of the actors are terrible and little bits are overwritten -- but overall, I'm enjoying it.
the wounds and stuff are insane! haha
My family and I binged all three seasons of Ted Lasso. It was great, I'm glad I saw so many people talk about it over the last few years and I finally gave it a shot. It's refreshing and wholesome, even if it still has a few flaws.
Such a fun show. Season 1 airing during covid lockdowns (Aug 2020) made for such a pleasant change of pace from everything. Just a little ray of sunshine each Friday for everyone.
Finished S2 of Arcane, which I enjoyed. The art / music / design is once again, bar-none the best thing I've ever seen. Story was pretty good, but I think S1 had the edge. S2 had too many characters and too many subplots, which caused it to lose a bit of focus, I think. Still a fun watch though!
