That Succession finale... WOW. I mean, incredible. People had their issues with this season, that it didn’t seem like it was building to anything or leading anywhere. But the last episode is proof that they were quietly building to something.
All the layerings of the Sporus story and the parallels in Greg and Tom's last interaction hit me one by one over the course of about an hour after the finale. Completely blew me away. Some of the best TV I've seen.
Farscape is an interesting show. Campy, shot on video in a time where film was still vastly superior, and I'm pretty sure the CGI was bad even for 1999 (Deep Space Nine did better before that).
I really like that they use lots of puppets and prosthetics on this show. I appreciate organic effects. They're high quality, made by Jim Henson Productions.
We got a spaceship, but not a traditional crew. Leadership and hierarchy are very fluid so far, and the ship seems way too big for them to manage it properly. It is super fun!
I watched this one over my brother's shoulder a few years ago. The practical effects were great, and frankly the CGI didn't feel bad for a show from '99. DS9 has the advantage of being built from TNG.
The CGI is really not a big deal. It's a good show.
