mikemack8 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I haven't watched it yet, but I'm starved for content at this point and it seems the reviews are good so I think I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first 3 episodes of season 1 last night. It's more compelling than i expected, but the action scenes are really bad. I will keep going for now.

It's definitely better than I expected. The music is awesome. Maybe this will be answered later in the show but: Spoiler What is the purpose of having a talking chimp?

They don't need to have wow factor, just be interesting like in The Boys. But this forumla of bad stunts and choppy footage to the backdrop of tongue in cheek pop tunes is lame as F. On the birght side they sell the characters and the mystery well. Drama wise its solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemack8 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 OK that settles it - if dawkins4prez doesn't like, guaranteed it's gonna be really good. I'll start it tonight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Yeah Umbrella Academy is entertaining. Its comicy in the outrageousness of the characters. And I dont care for that stuff. But I was entertained by it. I havent started season 2 yet. Mrs HE and I are watching the latest season of Shameless right now. I intend to start UA season 2 as soon as we finish Shameless.

RPeeteRules Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 If you’re looking for a quick movie that seems like a fast paced movie, watch Circle. Basically a bunch of people wake up and are in a room where someone dies every minute (or two, I forget the exact timeframe). They pick who is killed amongst them (by a secret vote). They don’t know why they are there or what the objective is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther and 5 are hilarious in this season. 100% agree on the character development. i think there was more time this season because the storyline wasnt so much about how dysfunctional they were as a family. there was time to show us who these people are. but yeah, luther and 5 were very funny. heck even diego has some funny scenes. also, we learned quite a bit more about who dad was/is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 imo this shameless season without Fiona is pretty much the same as it always was. I still enjoy it and dont miss her at all. The first episode was weird in the sense that you have to just buy the sudden abrupt transition of Debby being the responsible one running the house. If you just go with it, the rest of the show is fine. And, its not horrible because Debbie is still no angel. They havent just tried to make her the new Fiona. Its somewhat buyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, Shameless was one of my favorite shows on TV. The first few seasons, even into seasons 5-6 were hilarious. Frank is the most despicable human being on that show in the history of television in my opinion. I thought the plots got so ridiculous towards seasons 6 and 7 I kind of lost interest. I don't think I've ever gotten that far into a show and not finished, but I thought the writing went really downhill. However, it's tough to keep interest in the same characters for that long. Overall, it's still a great show. Spoiler I made it all the way to the episode where Fiona buys some sheety laundromat, and I think the little brother was wearing cornrows and selling drugs. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
