I've been watching the final season of Wellington Paranormal. One episode to go. I can't believe they're stopping there before it gets too stale. Feels like they could get away with several more seasons before that happened. Oh well.
The whole show seems overtly scripted if that's how I can put it. Every thing always happens at the exact right time. Nothing seems natural.I tried watching a few episodes of Lost in Space over the weekend. I remember not even finishing the first episode when it was released, but I watched the first four this time.
I can't say it does much for me. Parker Posey feels out of place as the villain and so does the obvious injection of woke they forced into it. The 1998 film was better than this.
It's not a collection of stand-alone stories like Black Mirror, so that seems like an odd comparison. Maybe the overall tone is similar?
Hmm, kinda? It's long form and not an anthology, so in that sense it's nothing like it. But the subject matter certainly could be a Black Mirror episode. And the tone, like JDR suggested.
Yes, I think it was about the subject matter they referred it as.
Have you both seen it ? Is it good ?
ThanksI've watched all of the episodes that have come out so far (there's one more to come in season 1) and I have enjoyed it a lot, albeit with a nagging feeling that it may not amount to as much in the end as I would hope. I got major Lost vibes watching it. Maybe it's more mapped out than it seems, but there are a lot of random details that feel like they were made up on the spot and will never be visited again.
But again, I like it a lot. It's an intriguing premise that they explore from several angles. It's got a thick vein of dark humor that can sometimes veer into absurdity, and at other times it's very bleak (especially if you really think about the implications). I do recommend you give it an episode or two and see what you think.
I liked Lost in Space for what it was and watched all three seasons. Season 2 was the weakest, in my opinion.
There is a free option now? Where? Do tell!when I still paid for Netflix
My thoughts too.it was barely watchable
I never saw the original series but I certainly thought the new series was better than the movie. Though that's not a very high bar to clear.
I enjoyed the movie a lot more than I'm enjoying the reboot so far. Gary Oldman as Dr Smith was a thousand times better. The series lacks a real villain.
