It’s pretty indicative of the quality of Reiner’s recent output, which doesn’t bode well for this project. 

Me complaining about shows I don’t like is all I have left at this point.

Not really, no.

The only thing that remotely interests me about Loki S2 is Ke Huy Quan.  But, so far, that hasn’t been enough to take the plunge into what will certainly be another utterly dull/pointless season.

Much appreciated!

Eh. MEW is certainly attractive, but I always found her acting so mediocre that it was a big turnoff. And she was never worse than in “Ahsoka.” Just atrocious!

Loki stinks. This guy is a major lightweight. Oh, well. I couldn’t care less about the MCU at this point anyway.

Sigh. Are you Dave Filoni? If not, why are you stressing? I never once insulted ANYONE for liking a show. I did, however, insult the actual show.

Their most impressive achievement was probably suing McDonald’s over appropriating HR Pufnstuff for the McDonaldland world and characters and winning.

Whoa, do you know where I can get a copy? Love those writers and them doing a take on the Kroffts sounds awesome.

My memory is apparently very, very poor since I completely forgot Season 3 was the one with Carrie Coon.  So, yeah, it was a good season. 

Totally agree. They should have cast a funny person in the role, but Paulson’s performance is completely in line with the tone of the series, which is to suck any degree of anarchy, spontaneity and humor out of a show about comedy.

Jack of All Trades or GTFO. 

Fuck that other performer reading for the pilot, eh Matt?

While Paulson isn’t exactly known for her comic chops, don’t blame her. The show was a gigantic misfire on just about every level. Insisting that Harriet was some sort of next-level Lucille Ball-level comic genius was just about the only thing funny about the character, since we never, ever saw a glimpse of it.

Glad to hear it. The Ewan McGregor season was just okay and I completely bailed on the last season after 3 or four episodes.

I think a good 75% of my streaming viewing comes from Hulu these days, with the rest HBO Max and Apple with a smattering of Peacock and Paramount plus.  Netflix has fallen to 5th (or sixth?) place. 

The only one of these shows I’ve heard of is Shadow and Bone. But I rarely watch anything on Netflix anymore. If I cancelled the subscription, it’d take weeks, if not months, for me to notice.

The other problem is that, like all of capitalism these days, companies are obsessed with “growth.” They don’t care about pleasing their existing audience, they only want to attract hypothetical new subscribers with new shows. So they throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and cancel stuff once it’s more than twenty…

Exactly. The binge model obliterates a show from the cultural conversation (most of the time.) People watch at their own pace, no one is talking about a show at the proverbial water cooler since no one is on the same page.
