OT - 3 Body Problem

[tman87]

Watched the first 3 episodes last night. I like it. Will likely finish the series this weekend. Interested to see where this goes in the final 5 episodes.

Yeah, they're a couple of episodes away from the season 2 finale. It's slow at the start but goddamn it heats up about mid-season 1 and doesn't lose steam the rest of the way once characters are kind of established. I highly recommend it.

Tokyo Vice is so good. Crazy that its based a real events/people. Definitely dramatized for the show

 

[HuskerDocCo]

this. another spin off for you game of thrones geeks??

 

[Kaladin]

Heard really good things about it. I've been hooked on Tokyo Vice (HBO), probably one of the better shows I've seen in years. Shogun will be next.

Watching first episode of Tokyo Vice. Meant to start watching it a long time ago but forgot about

Between this and Shogun I’m going to speak fluent Japanese before the end of the year

Tokyo Vice

I keep forgetting the name. Will maybe watch an episode tonight.

 

[cwessel76]

That’s next on my watch list. How is it?

Wrapping up Constellation on Apple TV+ tonight. LOVE IT. Quantum physics nerds will really appreciate it.

Total mindfuck and I would recommend reading a quick article on the basic principles of quantum physics before watching.

I'm afraid I'll feel the same way. Still want to watch Ozark and Peaky Blinders

Dude Peaky Blinders should be required watching around here. That show hits HARD.

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

Solid show, need another season though

 

[cwessel76]

In a semi-related note anybody who likes science fiction should watch Ex Machina. One of the more well made movies I’ve seen in a long time.

Ex Machina (2014) ⭐ 7.7 | Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller

1h 48m | R

The book was pretty good but the science of it is kind of dense. I still couldn’t explain the 3 Body Problem to someone. Want to try the show though.

Pretty good summary of the show too.

One of the GOAT tv shows

I am a few episodes into Silo and am really enjoying it.

That’s an amazing show. The last few episodes really notch up the tension.

I for one, am getting tired of shows that are set in a foriegn land and have everyone speaking their correct languages, meaning the show is nearly all in subtitles. Shogun is one running currently. Narcos was another one.

When you say this, some people treat you like some uncultured simpleton who instists everything be catered to him. But we know most of these shows are made my Americans for an American audience.

We also know that these shows these days are brilliantly shot and works of visual art that are meant to be seen! They are designed to let our eye wander the screen and take the artistry in. And I am not doing that if I am focused on the bottom of the screen reading dialouge. The shows would be much better enjoyed as they were intended if everyone spoke English, even if you have to sacrifice a smidge of realism.

JMO.

(Note I am not talking about foreign films. A movie made in France by French people should be in French, by all means.)

Just use dubbed instead of subtitles. Problem solved.

Dark is the one exception. The English dub of that show sucks.

I still want to watch those two, too.
I tried Ozark a few years ago and couldn't get into it.
Need a 2nd chance.

But I think Peaky is next for me, doh.

I just finished The Gentlemen.
It was OK.

Is that an option on Apple TV? I didn't see it. Maybe I'll have to explore more.

I liked it at first. Got lamer as it went on.
