As much as I hope a new Dexter is going to be worth watching I really wonder where they are going to take it. They lost the plot well before the end of the last series and after this length of time the logical path would seem to be that one of the kids has taken over the family business. But I hope that's not all there is to the new series.

RIP to my hero.

 

[Slammed]

Her comments were definitely a highlight of that show.

New Dexter? Sure. No idea where they're gonna go with it but it can't be worse than s08.

EDIT: The showrunner is Clyde Philips, who helmed the actually-good first four seasons. Promising.

Started watching Mr. Robot today, on the second episode and enjoying it thus far.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

been binging Trailer Park Boys again. One of the greatest shows of all time imo. Love it.

New Dexter sounds like it could be awesome or horrible
Not even sure if there could be any middle ground for this

I like time-travel movies
I like time-travel episodes of a series
But the whole time-travel-series thing just seems a little bit too complicated for me to try to follow

the Mandalorian makes me happy. episode 3 was so good!

 

[CiG]

Has anybody seen The Stand miniseries? Wondering if it's worth checking out.

With Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald?
Yeah I've got it on both VHS and DVD. I liked it, it still kind of stayed true to the book even though it swayed a few of the story lines a little bit.
Not really sure how desperate I am to see the new remake given how badly many remakes get done these days.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I thought it was pretty bad.

It may be nostalgia speaking because it was always on tv here when I was a kid but I’ve always like it. Because it was on tv some of the violence was kind of muted

fear the evil fucking mullet though.


(Also probably won’t try to watch the new version, the people in it and the channel airing it looks like a recipe for shit.

 

[Slammed]

I was a little interested in the new one when I heard Owen King was producing, a bit of hope it might stay true to the book with his son on the watch. But I got quickly less interested when I heard Whoopie was going to be Mother Abigail.

Queens gambit was pretty fucking uninteresting. Save your time on that one

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

watching season 4 of the Expanse again
So ready for season 5

Hopefully it's not as autistic as his recent shorts.

I think my brain is still recovering from Twin Peaks s3.

lynch is writing and directing a new series!

According to the original rumor back in February, which got the working title and the Netflix involvement correct, it will have 25 hour-long episodes and an $85 million budget.

Have you still not seen The Return btw?
