To be honest, i think netflix has led to me being fairly harsh because they come out with so much crap. There is so much media available, i generally prefer to move on pretty quickly and not look back

Space Babies is the weakest episode - probably lucky that I caught up on the first three in one go rather than week-to-week.

But then I disagree that there's so much media available - 95% of what's on the streaming platforms is such utter pish, and they take SO long to release new seasons of good shows (2-3 years between seasons seems to have become a norm...) that I feel like I've seen everything worth watching, and always on the lookout for even watchable new content .

I mean god... I watched all 20 episodes of "Another Life" ... and it revealed itself as garbage within 3 episodes .

i really liked Another Life

If you guys are okay with watching subtitles, and you haven't already seen these Shows, I would recommend these six Shows if you're looking for high quality.

Kingdom (Korean Horror series Kingdom to clarify, on Netflix.)
Mouse
The Guest
Beyond Evil
Dark
Alice In Borderland

I did too BOTS but objectively it was garbage . Derivative of any other Sci-Fi show or film you can think of, pretty much a paint-by-numbers I don't know if there was anything novel or unique in it whatsoever... just a mish-mash of things other shows have done . BUT it was entertaining enough and sometimes that's enough.

this ''bridgerton'' inspired ep was fun


i always love that era of the 1800's tbh



were some scenes filmed in same location as Renegade Nell season 1 was filmed? some scenes felt similar, outside the palace scenes i mean

It amused me how "diverse" the UNIT squad was - there was a mixed race transwoman, a black lesbian, a midget, an elderly woman ...

To be clear, I notice these things and find them funny, but I don't get "angry" like certain youtubers

great cliffhanger for next week tbh


i don't blame the doctor

Spoiler:

for thinking of the Tardis anagram first, but yeah Sutekh - Sue Tech, feels kinda hidden in plain sight LOL

but

Spoiler:

Who is Ruby's mom???? must be someone from the doctor's past i guess, if she was pointing at him

I haven't seen Another Life (although I do like Katee Sackhoff as an actress) but being unoriginal doesn't automatically make it a bad Show imo, because that would mean every Show that's out currently is bad.

I mean when was the last time a TV Show was actually original?

I like watching Melonie Mac for the "anti-Woke" content because it's shocking and fascinating to see someone that doesn't look like the stereotype, say some of the most "wtf did I just hear you say!" Stuff in the Anti-Woke space.

And Ryan Kinel & Synthetic Man for both fitting every negative stereotype of Anti-Woke people going, especially Synthetic Man.

I agree there's no such thing as 100% original and I actually like it when shows take inspiration from other shows, but preferably they have SOMETHING unique about them as well. Another Life I felt was for the mostpart, lots of ideas from lots of different places, sort of torn up and stitched back together as something new.

It also contains the single most painfully clunky and forced line of dialogue in TV history, as there is a non-binary character which was actually done really well for 99% of the show run and then almost at the end, when referring to something this character has said, another character unironically comes out with the line "Yeah, that's what ze said".

I mean...

...even if you are on the neo-pronouns bandwagon...

......it's SO forced. You'd need to see it. I viscerally cringed .

I see your point.

Ouch! That sounds really cringy.
