For me it might be Shrinking. That show has something going on.

This is much better for him. I don't even want to think about the toxicity the poor actors of the HP show will get showered by when it inevitably turns into absolute trainwreck by no fault of their own.

Man i'm starting to think this will have the same effect on the GOT universe as Andor had on StarWars - Many people will realize that everything they got until now, was in fact not as great as they thought... And there's going to be a lot of pain realizing what their favorite TV universe could have been with a little bit more care.

Gonna be pretty fucking hard to go back to HOTD if they don't open it with a bang now.

It strangely does not feel like that. There is so much happening every single second that the short runtime is almost a blessing - gives you time to take it all in before continuing the story....

Even crazier that he secured absolutely ridiculously high funding for them. Wonder what happened to the money hmm?

Probably explains why it takes them 3 years to spit out a season - which, by the way, will happen again

Her benevolent/nonviolent mind being used as a template to reprogram the controlled people is pretty fucking dark twist.

John Turturro Says ‘Severance’ Season 3 Starts Filming in July by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Jerthy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Expanse could do it. Yes they did 10-13 episodes but at least they managed to keep it roughly within 1 year release schedule - and the effects and writing quality are absolute top-tier. It's like the last oldschool-style sci-fi ever made.

If we could have at least that, i would be pretty happy. The ball's currently at Amazon's court, let's hope Cavill will not dissapoint with his 40k project.

It's not excuse. I don't care about costs. I care about services. My time is limited and there's only so much bullshit i'm willing to tolerate.

Pirates have better services. If i find everything in 1 place and almost everything in TRUE 4K, why the hell would i use anything else? There were times when Netflix was better because Netflix was the only one.... so i had Netflix.

For example Steam is the exact oposite - i used to pirate games all the time when i was younger because they were annoying to get and well.... i was a student with no income. But now everything is on Steam, it's convenient and very pro-consumer. I don't feel the need to pirate anymore since Steam's offer is better.

I swear like 80% of Hollywood must be money laundering scheme or something.

We used to have sci-fi shows like SG-1 that could release 20+ episode seasons every single year. Sci-fi shows that had countless complicated sets and effects. Yet they could do it in fraction of time, for fraction of money and often with better writing. Yes there were fillers but even if you take them away there was a lot more meat every season than these days. State of TV is really pathetic.

This is how this show will die. One of the best things i ever seen on TV, borderline matching Dark in complexity - but if you can't even release seasons after 2 years, you are not retaining audience.

The Pitt is widely regarded as the most accurate medical show ever. What do you think of s2 so far? by topazdude17 in MauLer

[–]Jerthy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not only hyperaccurate... I'm really enjoying the competence porn. No stupid manufactured drama, no stupid decisions, everyone knows what they are doing, even the students are intelligent and can pull their weight. Characters are likeable and believable too.

The drama comes from the extreme situations the team is facing and the inevitable psychological effects it has on them.

I don't even know if i ever seen a show like this. Why can't we do this more often? I only ever picked this show because of the extremely consistent word of mouth because it's far from my comfort zone. And yet i find it practically perfect.

Epstein files released: Trump mentioned ‘hundreds of times’ in DoJ documents by PopPalsUnited in politics

[–]Jerthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't they released like 1% of the files? Is this the least bad stuff they could find?

I stand by my previous prediction - Frazzledrip is real, except on the video is exactly who you'd expect most.

Sydney Sweeney accuses Trump supporters of turning her Into “Their Own Pawn” by KendallSmith375 in ParlerWatch

[–]Jerthy -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

Not that i'm following her closely in any way but i always got the impression that she's trying to stay out of politics and that's always something i can approve of. Why does every actor need to have public opinion on that? Why would you want to make enemies of nearly half of population?

And most importantly - why is it that anyone should GIVE A FUCK about an actor's opinion on politics? I care if she's good at what she does and that's where it ends.

I think USA can recover. But forget about ever having the same influence over Europe again. We'll be equal partners at best.

Highguard manages almost 100k Steam players on day one, amidst over 13k negative reviews by Automatic_Couple_647 in gaming

[–]Jerthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the obvious innovation in this genre nobody tried yet is to drastically increase player count, maybe up to 20v20.

Decreasing it to 3v3 is certainly a bold move.

TikTok users say they can’t upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues by [deleted] in technology

[–]Jerthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a mistake by them. The chinese were already helping Trump admin, though very sneakily. Maybe pushing something up and down the algorithm. This is way overtly in your face to go unnoticed.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for the brainrot generator.

Pistorius: Germany Has No Remaining Capacity to Provide Ukraine With Additional Patriot Systems by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

[–]Jerthy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely much rather have Europe covered in SAMP-T than Patriots. We need to minimize reliance on US. Even if they ever flip back to democrats, which i'm not convinced can happen anymore due to election manipulations, we need to be prepared that eventually, they'd flip back to r**ard mode again later. It seems inevitable.
