DVR'd, I haven't watched yet.
Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
ah well, then we can discuss later, perhaps?
I watched it. They need to get a blank check to Alan Ball, stat.
I've never read the books, but TVLine gave the pilot a 'D'. So, I decided to skip it. My DVR is already full as it is.
The plot moved faster than the first book - a lot of things that weren't revealed until fairly late came out quickly (think of Mr. Snuggly). And Manfred is totally not like he's described ... honestly, they could have done something to at least try to make him look right.
I kinda liked the pilot of Midnight, TX. It might help that I haven't read the books. I thought they did a good job of introducing a largish cast and showing what they can do. On the other hand, while the cast isn't entirely white (which is good), I would have expected a larger Latinx population. Maybe it'll be a plot point later? Or maybe it's just standard network tv racism.
Finally got around to watching Midnight, TX last night. I enjoyed it, definitely will be back for more eps. I didn't read the books for this series, but I did get introduced to Manfred & his grandmother in the Grave series. He didn't look like I pictured, but I did like the actor, so I'm getting past him not looking right. I was pleased to see some of the actors I recognized that I hadn't realized were going to be in it. And I agree with most or all of Calli's points above.
I got about halfway through Midnight Texas. I lost interest after some girl coldcocked Ghost Boy Protagonist for reasons. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.
No, her motivation was not as clear as it could have been.
