Scrolled back a bit and didn't see it, but I'm halfway through Tokyo Vice on Max. It's pretty compelling. Great storyline, cinematography, set design, acting, etc. Highly recommend.

Agree; I'm actually swinging towards the second season is better than the first for its plot/sub-plot development. And I'm also starting to sympathize with Jake a bit.

My partner and I loved this. Maybe its due to growing up in Australia and craving some of that nostalgic feels that this provides but thought it was very creative, though far fetched at times.

Happy to report that 3 Body Problem is excellent, follows the book really well and they nailed the characters, Da Shi and Wade are just how I pictured them. Hoping they follow up with the Dark Forest and Death’s End

Have to admit, couldn't finish the first book ....... but like the show a lot! Seems like subsequent seasons are mandatory??
Definitely have to go back and start reading again.

The show can be quite flat, imho.
Something really interesting happens every once in a while but then they go back for yet another 10 mopey minutes with pancreatic cancer guy at the England's crappiest beach house. The show just can't keep up any momentum. Cool ideas but then it's just depressing people talking way too damn much.
Can anyone explain to me why the world's resistance is led by just one old cranky guy, free from any seeming chain of command? Is he the only person who isnt too depressed to fight back? Well thank god for the old fart because if the defense of the world was in the hands of these millennial crybabies, we'd be fucked. Where are the world's militaries? Seems like they'd want a piece of the action.
Why is the world's investigatory apparatus limited to just one chain smoking slob? Why was it necessary that we devote so much time to knowing he's a shitty parent?
How is it that these sophon super computers super snoopers can be on earth for months and not figure out humans are lying shitbags? They have to hear some needle dick reading the Three Little Pigs to figure this out? That's just awful writing, imho.
Still, I give it credit for being the first Chinese scifi I've ever seen that isn't knee slapper cornball shit with incredibly cheap CGI. Its definitely got its interesting moments and some cool ideas.Last edited by neckdeep; 03-27-2024 at 03:43 PM.

Damn neckdeep. Just watched the first episode based on some of the hype here. Thought the story had some potential, and seeing GOT actors I enjoyed tickled the nostalgia/familiarity nerve.
Will temper my expectations.

I’ve enjoyed the first episode and a half…

Halfway in to 3 Body Problem and it's the shit! 100% my type of sci-fi show.

I mean the Panama Canal scene alone is worth the watch, they spent some serious coin on this show. Really looking forward to the next season.

Had Seinfeld done anything decent since the show. Coffee talk is super interesting but Bee Movie was awful. Has he had any real hits in the last 25 yrs? I think Bobcat might have been right about him calling him Larry David’s lucky friend!
