Looking for some slop I can binge watch.
Any suggestions? Currently on the final season of Schitt’s Creek. Just rewatched The Expanse, Better Off Ted and Letterkenny before I started Schitt’s Creek.
Nothing serious. I don’t want to learn anything. No true crime or docuseries whatevers. No an*me. Nothing political (I know I know everything’s political). I’m fine w it being something you have to pay attention to from ep to ep. I’m fine with something you don’t have to pay attention to. Doesn’t have to be modern, or new. Doesn’t have to be in English as long as there’s some subtitles.
Just need some slop. Please and thanks n stuff.
Severance
A coworker was recently talking about this one I think. It’s got Patricia Arquette and John Turturo in it correct?
Yes that’s the one. Great show, completely unique premise.
Not enjoying the second season as much so far, but I’m admittedly only a couple episodes in. Does it pick up or is the second season just not as good?
It takes a few to pick back up but it gets there
So, my understanding is the network made them stretch the show a bit. So season 2 is thinner than one. It does pick up iirc, but imo it never gets as good as season one.
Wondering the same thing
I am also kind of losing steam on season two, but only like two eps in. I think that in my case the issue is kind of the frustration of the time jumps and that it keeps going like two steps forward and like one or one and a half backwards. Though I guess they want to create the feeling, so I guess it is working. Same thing happens with other shows that do similar (or in other cases seem to try so hard to not reach a real point until like the last ep or two). I enjoy when they can land it, but I tend to kind of hate whole seasons until “the big reveal” or whatever is able to make it worthwhile.
When I watched the first season of Severance, I had just finished Pantheon and liked that it chose to end after two seasons. So after the first season of Severance, I was hoping that it would not try to run more than two or three. It is wild how much they can make these modern shows pack basically the slowness of older 25 ep seasons of older shows.
Kind of the same annoyance happens when I find what seems to be a long-form YouTube doc/deep-dive. But realize that it is all AI and keeps somehow constantly repeating the same information in a circular form instead of more information (gotten real good at picking up on that shit). Or like supper click-bait “articles” that have multiple “next page” bits at the end of each page. Just always circle with “but that is when the crucial and amazing blah blah” with like a few sentences that “advance” the topic (and of course the page is just loaded with ads).
