Speaking of Farscape, anyone else notice that Aughra bears a striking similarity to Noranti?
Totally.
Although it occurred to me last night that it's the other way around: Noranti looks like Aughra, since the original DC pre-dates FS by 20 years.
I'm 3 eps into Carnival Row and I've decided I like it enough to continue. It's like a big bowl of fantasy trope soup.
Netflix just made the worst TV show of all time
It's like if you were forced to watch The Prisoner underwater—you're vaguely aware of a sci-fi conceit, but everything is blurry and you can't understand what anyone is saying because you're underwater.
It's like if you had to watch The Blue Lagoon—which already has a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes—completely out of order, while someone whispers non-sequiturs in your ear.
It's like if the cast of Love Island were told on day one of filming that they had 24 hours to make a TV show using only the props they had on them.
It's like if you ran the script of Robinson Crusoe through Google Translate into every language on Earth, converted it back to English, and then asked a high-school drama club to perform whatever was left without a single rehearsal.
Yeah, when I heard of the premise, I thought, "I've seen this - it's Lost, only worse." Now that I read some of the details, it's even way worse than I imagined it could be.
That reminds me, I still haven't watched S2 of The OA.
How does Neil LaBute even have a job in Hollywood after The Wicker Man?
I've finally gotten around to watching Fleabag, which has managed to redeem Andrew Scott for me. (I mean, it's not his fault how horribly Moriarty is written in Sherlock, but really, he's just awful.) I was actually delighted to find he can be charming and sweet. t edit And HOT. Daaaaang.
Not done with S2 yet, but I'm close.
