Hilarious first ep! Tears down yer cheek funny. Catch the extra bar scene after the end too.
I’m a huge fan of seriously complicated science fiction storylines, but I’m not even sure of who I should be rooting for in this show anymore.
LOL—it’s getting a lot like Billions in Axelrod’s days—or Succession. Everybody’s a bad guy.
Might be a good flick for the art film fans—gorgeous, darkly atmospheric visuals and plot but way too slow and abstract (or symbolic?) for the average Joe to enjoy.
If you do watch it, keep an eye out for the kid from ‘The End of the F*ing World’—all grown up and geeky.
Actually, it was a pretty remarkable story. 12 children and their coach survived 18 days trapped in a cave. None of them died, although 2 divers did. In an age where we are constantly bombarded by doom and gloom and bad news, it’s rare to have a story that has such a favorable outcome. The sheer scope of the logistics involved and the manpower needed were remarkable.
The rescue effort involved more than 10,000 people, including more than 100 divers, scores of rescue workers, representatives from about 100 governmental agencies, 900 police officers, and 2,000 soldiers. Ten police helicopters, seven ambulances, more than 700 diving cylinders, and the pumping of more than a billion litres of water from the caves were required.
If not for covid, we would have seen these offerings in a much more timely manner. I would venture to guess that 13 lives is the best of the bunch.
‘survived 18 days trapped in a cave’
What no one’s telling us is that they started out with 14 kids. Muahahahaha!
that’s the problem with watching stuff online; producers don’t get an accurate number of people watching so a lot of good shows end way too early.
They can easily get the tallies of ‘legit’ online watchers from the sites they license to.
They care less about the watchers who aren’t putting $$ in their pockets. Thinking about those guys just raises their BP and inflames their hemorrhoids.
Just saw a few scenes of this, has a nice creepy feel to it. Think I’ll save this one for a late nite watch.
This just hit the net. Not to be confused with the awful movie of the same name.
IMDB for this— https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11897688/
very boring, and only a third of the screen actually shows the movie. A third on either side is black.
There’s an extra bit to watch for after the ending. Anyone guess what it’s about?
They’re stretching these out way too long. This one would have been fine at half that length.
i cant believe what passes for comedy. terrible writing, so not funny and i wanted to like it so much as i’m a fan of Taika Waititi in our flag means death, but i couldn’t even get through ep1 of this junk. don’t get mad i know its wildly popular and lots think its funny this is just my opinion, take it with a grain of salt and move on don’t be hateful.
I didn’t like it at first either. But then I started catching on to the flow of the gags and the subtle (and some not so subtle) little idiocies.
Fun first episode. Great jokes, decent effects. I love Nadja’s new attitude. But “the thing that crawled out of the chest cavity of Colin Robinson” is creepy.
Colin’s cool. He’s the scariest one there. I’m hoping he’ll try out his own familiar for a few eps this season.
Good to see this is back for another season after they seemed to have stepped up their game last season. I’m guessing they got a budget boost—it looked it.
As much as I liked the original, I’ll be seriously surprised if this does NOT get ruined by CW and turned into another bitchy-whiny teen romantic drama. As usual, they’ll fill it full of pretty faces that can’t act and writers who can’t write except to gear it to please their teenie drama queen wannabee crowd. And they couldn’t care less about quality, just that it seems hip, pretty and trendy.
Hell, even the poster looks like an illustration for a CW version of a ‘Lifetime TV for kids’.
Supernatural only survived getting cw-slimed itself because they already had a well established, large and loyal cult following loong before CW ever existed—and the studio bosses were too terrified to touch such a proven money maker.
Come on, CW—prove me wrong. Just once.
In no way does this represent actual policing in the US. I know people are going to believe what they want to believe, but I’ve had enough interactions with cops to see this for what it is, propaganda.
Simple fix for that. Just get film crews to follow all the cops around. Or maybe make all cops wear body cams with fake ‘off’ switches on ‘em.
This is out now (Jul 7)—may be fun. It stars that weird guy in some of the Ricky Grevais shows like After Life, Derek, etc.
Very good story, great acting, great everything but way, way too slow. Well worth watching but do it while you’re sorting sox or some such.
Damn. That Seymour is a regular ol’ Energizer Bunny, huh?
Nice little space movie, more of a psychodrama than an action flick. With three frustrating people making dumb decisions, somehow ending up with a good story.
The acting is excellent. That is not what I meant. I am not happy watching favorite actors being tortured!
That was amazing—it felt like the big series finale. And there’s still another ep!
Cool. Jessica Parker Kennedy popped up here. I hope she has more than a cameo on this—like maybe turn out to be his daughter. I’ve been a big fan of hers ever since Black Flags.
Uh, nope. She’s not gonna be his daughter, I guess. But who the daughter turned out to be is a nice twist!

This just hit the net early (6.24). Might be good with Woody Harrelson in it. Also has Kevin Hart. Hopefully Kevin’s doing something different from his same ol’, tired old shtick that he does in his action/comedies. It was funny once or twice but over and over and over?
That’s exactly what this was. This is absolutely 100% authentic to the original franchise. All the people who keep complaining they are “puking a little in my mouth” like a bunch of performative tween drama queens, while they keep hatewatching this show, moaning about canon and wokeness in the comments, have apparently purged from their minds the several painful OST and TNG episodes where Kirk or Picard went to a planet and were forced to re-perform the American revolution, got stuck in a Holodeck reality, etc. That writing was every bit as bad as this. These kind of episodes are one big long eewww for me. I sit through them, to make sure I don’t miss anything important to the season arc.
I was thinking about that too, while I was watching this ep, about how it had such a strong old ST feel to it, right down to the plot and to Pike over-hamming his parts, just like Kirk used to do. And yes, I too resisted fast forwarding thru it, afraid I’d miss something, waiting for it to get that silly part over with.
The coolness it had on its first run way back then is now mostly been replaced by feelings of familiarity and nostalgia.
Foofie? I dunno about that—I don’t see yer so-called ‘foofie’—that ep was just dumb writing. And even worse purposely directed bad acting. About as entertaining as having to sit thru those early WandaVision eps.
That’s enough of that stuff, please. What’s next? A Star Trek song and dance ep?
Wow—Seth Rogan has really lost some weight—good for him! At very first glance I thought that face was Thomas Jane before I realized it was Rogan.
Every movie or show with a religious theme gets downvoted on every rating website by anti-religion zealots
I was thinking the pro-religion nuts attacked this one. If I was one, the title would piss me off—without bothering to watch.
Finally finished this, all 10 eps were great—bumped my rating here to 5/5 and my IMDB to 9/10. Well worth seeing. Now I’m wanting to go watch The Godfather again.
And check for extra stuff at the ends of the eps.
Uh oh…put the kids to bed. Them Vulcans are making their nasty sexytalk again.
Goofy, entertaining (so far) and well written (on ep2). I wasn’t so sure about this—early IMDB had a 3.3 rating but it seems to have come from irate Jesus trolls rating it a bunch of ones, judging the title and not from watching any of it first. Better than most sitcoms out lately, though that ain’t saying much. Good enough to wanna watch more of it and hope my early impressions pan out.
LOL! ‘We’re keeping it 43 degrees in here’ Maybe instead of raising that giant garage door to walk in you should start using that smaller doorway?
I’m on ep2 and this looking to be some pretty good stuff. Well written,worth checking out. Tribal cops with some FBI guys complicating it, some native medicine spookiness tossed in. 7/10 so far.
I mean, it’s the future. WHo knows what kind of polymer based “hair stabilizers” we’ll have access to? Although I suspect Conan O’Brien has already been using it for over 20 years. lol
Hey, maybe we can get Conan to test his out. A clip of him getting whacked in the head with a pole hard enough to knock him out? Now THAT would be a Conan vid that I’d like to watch!
They did the same thing to Luke in the final trilogy. All that jedi training, you think they’d be zen masters and made of stronger stuff. Instead they’re bereft with guilt and crippled by PTSD. Humanizing super heroes sells comic books but these characters have been so hobbled by the writers it’s hard to watch.
I agree. McGregor has never played super macho characters and that’s great. I’ve liked the way he’s played roles ever since Trainspotting. But this director has got him actually whining in a few scenes. Obi-Whine Kenobi? Sheesh!
That’s some amazing mousse Pike’s got. He’s tackling bad guys, having romps in the hay and getting smacked over the head and knocked out—and his crazy sifi hairdo stays up thru alla that.
Out now. From the creator of ‘My Name is Earl’ and ‘Raising Hope’.
This is pretty decent. If you liked Raising Hope, this has some of the same gang in it. Kind of a pandemic meets white trash comedy.
