The Punisher season 2 is utter garbage. Not sad for the cancellation

Sex education is woke and fun. Season 2 has been green lit

You is absolutely brilliant, amazing first season.

Among with The Haunting of Hill House, i would say they are the only 10/10 tv series i've watched recently.

Gomorroa Season 4. Thoughts? A bit diffuse this one. And it lacks the urgency of earlier seasons.

A dud. Hard to keep up the show with same formula*, would need to add another layer. Not enough Secondigliano + Mokadelic scenery. Low hopes for next season even tho they might go to ok'ish nostalgia route before sinking completely. Hopefully Ciro movie will be as good as Bulgaria episodes.

* - killing off a lot of characters.

Yeah, loved the Wu-tang doc. Was afraid it will be shit but they didn't emphasize the drama and didn't have annoying slow-mo shots and thanks to that it came across real like the clan. Odb VH1 show was a good rewatch afterwards as well.

Been hearing a lot about this one. How can a documentary about such a topic be so good? Need to check it out.

It's not a documentary. It's drama. Like The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Manhunt (unabomber) et al. It can be good through good research and by professional planning. Russians are carving their eyes out for a foreign production to solve the topic so good. But then again the Russians (And UKR/BEL) might be too hurt to work it out properly.

What you mean by such topic? This is the biggest man made catastrophe. Absolute epic stuff. Perfect stage for a good drama.

Drama I can understand that such a topic gets so much attention. Didn't know the genre, just heard about some show about Chernobyl and assumed it was a docu. Will watch it during this weekend.

Yes, killing off a lot of characters, and the ones remaining don't have enough charisma to carry the show.

I need to watch this

It's actually insanely good. I'd heard it was good, waiting til it was finished to watch in one go. My god it was better than I ever imagined.

No wonder GoT s8 was pretty poor, they put all their good writing staff at HBO to Chernobyl. Probably the best show I've watched in years.

Chernobyl...
Wow...
It's been a long time since I've seen something that completely justified all the hype. It even surpassed all my expectations.
Absolutely fucking brilliant.

 
The scene where the guy goes up on the roof to look down on the exposed core... The look of sheer terror on his face as he turns around... The realization that he's already dead just from that one single look...
Incredible

wtf they look nothing like RZA or GZA or even U-God.

Why do they have white actors portraying black people?:rolleyes:

This is why I prefer documentaries :o

so, should watch When They See Us, eh? Versace, Manhunt and OJ make me positive about it but still a bit iffy for some reason. (maybe cause of Fruitvale Station was overdramatized)

Yeah, same here.
I've seen The Central Park Five documentary. I liked it. Not really interested in a TV series of it.
Chernobyl is an exception because I had never bothered to watch any of the documentaries. Would've probably not watched the TV series either if it wasn't shoved at my face everywhere. But I liked it as well, although it was disappointing(but expected) that it wasn't in Russian. The uppity British accents in particular took me away from the settings. I read that the director initially wanted Slavic accents, but changed his mind after a few scenes.

Coogler made Fruitvale Station to make Oscar Grant seem like a better person than what the facts showed.
