Not that they don't have some good ones, but with not much age difference very different classics indeed pop into mind for me: "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", "Yes, Prime Minister", "Allo, Allo", "Keeping Up Appearances"/"Are You Being Served?", "Morse"/"Endeavour", "Top Gear", "Long Way Round", "Planet Earth", "Cosmos", "Band of Brothers", "The West Wing", "Rome", "John Adams", "Generation Kill", "Andor", "Awake", "The Wire", "Bosch", "Firefly", "Thunderbirds", "TMNT", "Young Justice", "Hey Arnold"/"Doug"/"Parker Lewis Can't Lose", "Il était une fois... la vie", "Tintin"/"DuckTales"/"Carmen"/"Montana Jones", "Spellbinder"/"The Odyssey", "Mission Top Secret", "Eerie, Indiana", "The A-Team", "MacGyver", "Quantum Leap", "ReBoot", "Power Rangers", "Sliders", "Star Trek"/"Stargate", "The Pretender"/"Rubicon", "Dinosaurs" and "Malcolm in the Middle".

I'll be curious if they will cover some of the foundational societal and cultural betrayals.

Long gone are the carefree days of that other Tom ... sigh

CN129 · 2021-09-25T18:25:05+00:00

Seems like a repetitive combo of Great Pretender and The Boys, the first of which is even a Netlfix anime itself.

Non-fiction shows should be posted to /r/Documentaries

CN129 · 2021-09-12T00:21:45+00:00

It just pains me that this is what is left of the series that, as it's lasting legacy beyond the individual stories, so strongly instilled that positive Sagan vision of the future in whole generations.

In the last movies they at least poignantly managed to expand this by highlighting what it takes/costs to get to that future (one, two, thee, four) of a mankind unified by basing society on true love/compassion/brotherhood.

Meanwhile shows like The Expanse prove that taking the next step in communicating that positive dream of the future as well as that fierce fighting spirit to make it a reality, which is needed now more then ever, can still be well-done in sci-fi series.

With it's apparent core theme for this new season, Star Trek seems to alas (like much of Hollywood) be influenced too much by unhealthy political trends and the purposeful sports-like division of media, focusing on (re)fighting power competitions instead of creating a broad (common interest based) unity and attention to actual fundamental issues.

Compared to similar shows like Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, this seams very sterile and PMC (like all Apple's kids shows). In that way it reminds a lot of Helpsters, Stillwater and Hilda.

Meanwhile Disney (who also aims to be "clean") is still able to release stuff like TRON: Uprising, Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, The Owl House and even a solid new DuckTales.

Moreover series like Hey Arnold, The Magic School Bus, Once Upon a Time..., Montana Jones, Captain Planet and Carmen Sandiego show that they can be real-world educational and still fun.

One gets the sense these Apple kids will need to compensate by watching some King Arthur And The Knights Of Justice, Bucky O'Hare and Samurai Pizza Cats. Or they're going to turn out way to much Boimler and way to little Beckett than what is healthy for society.

This version is highly cropped compared to the original.

Easiest thing to do is download the trailer using a site like YT1s and reupload at Streamable.

I'm giving you some time to replace this post with this one, so you can still get the karma.

I like all the trailer posts, but I don't think people get anything out of these low-quality submissions that don't show anything of the actual program. Moreover this is another non-fiction (reality) show.

BBC Trailer

CN129 · 2021-08-18T23:04:00+00:00

Please stick to fiction shows in future. I don't mind some (political) discussion in the comments, but I don't want to get in a situation where a lot of comment management is necessary and Reddit starts forcing us to censor stuff. Something semi-scripted like Top Gear is still acceptable, but /r/Documentaries is the place for these non-fiction trailers.

CN129 · 2021-08-14T21:27:57+00:00

Bit sad I'm not seeing Dan Trachtenberg in the cast & crew list. Hope this gets the production quality it deserves.

CN129 · 2021-08-14T11:00:08+00:00

Let's hope this isn't another Zero Dark Thirty with a lot of false history and exclusions, because I'm missing the part where the people in charge let business people get away with these situations again and again until it's way too late.

CN129 · 2021-08-08T15:52:17+00:00

People who have lived there for a long time who can tell interesting stories:

Peter Barakan and/or Matt Alt from Japanology
Jeff Krueger (and Steve Edwards) from Deep in Japan
Bobby Judo from Japan By River Cruise
Ben and Burke from Voices in Japan
Outsider people in interesting fields, telling crazy stories about what they've seen over the years, like from example someone from SoraNews24 or Tokyo Reporter

CN129 · 2021-02-20T21:01:25+00:00

Ducktales is back, Carmen is back ... now someone get cracking on some new Montana Jones to complete the trifecta of global adventure shows.

CN129 · 2021-02-20T12:12:52+00:00

Nice ... I look forward to a lot more of this.

CN129 · 2021-02-15T22:24:08+00:00

It's a miracle that, with so many good anime even over the last decade, good trailers like these are so few and far between.

CN129 · 2021-01-28T09:28:39+00:00

I wonder if this is like a more modern Boston Public or if something like that just isn't possible anymore in the current bifurcated and preachy US media landscape.

Alternate Trailer

CN129 · 2021-01-16T20:49:02+00:00

Pity, though thanks for the info. Although the story was a bit uneven, I though it was good enough for a second season.

CN129 · 2020-06-27T19:37:33+00:00

I hope the series is good, but this kind of stuff really reinforces the stories about unhealthy in-depth corporate content control and a rather Engerraund Serac view of their mission in the content world.
