I'm watching swarm on Amazon it's pretty ****in weird but I like it. I think it's heavily Donald glover influenced so if you like Atlanta you'll prob like it.

The main character is a black chick tho so idk might not be for everyone.

Or hell,not making anything at alland just rent licensed content that doesn't suck like Netflix used to do because nobody ever fückingaskedthe goddamn delivery company to try to make Lord of the Rings if it was written by a committee of insufferable, unfückable femcels?

I never even bothered starting Reacher despite hearing praise because I knew bloody well that they wouldn't be able to contain themselves after seeing how they've mishandled everything else.

The only legitimatelygoodscripted show thatI'veseen on Amazon is The Expanse, and even that happened to go downhill just as when Amazon bought them, so I can't even give them credit for coming up with such a compelling show all on their own. Even in the latter slump it was still better than the rest of their garbage and it never derailed into forced, "woke" mental illness, either. In fact, right from the start it was already diverse in a perfectly organic manner thatcomplementedthe world and world building. Seriously, the casting was outstanding; even towards the end when it was kind of meh (spoilers):
Spoiler!
I was still flat out impressed by how damn good of a job they did casting Naomi and Marco's son, Filip, because he lookedexactlylike how you would imagine their son would look between them. Yeah, casting people who actually look the part. Imagine-fücking-that.

Naomi:


Marco:


Filip:


Really, that is just such impeccable casting.


So of course they cancelled on a cliffhanger.

I dare Amazon, no, Idouble dareAmazon to finally separate their video service from Amazon prime; watch that schit's subscriber numbers incur an extinction level event overnight.Nobody wants this bullschit, you daft monkeys, but Bezos was convinced that his wish.com Zuckerberg lite (still not quite lizard robot enough) ass understands humans well enough towrite an iconic TV show with 12 rules:

Spoiler!



With rules like that, no wonder their shows were destined to suck.


Oh boy...

Just a head's up, from what I understand, it drops off a cliff after Season 4, and stay the hell away from Vikings: Valhalla if you value your sanity.
wow no surprise there. A sociopathic billionaire has reduced art to a code.

Funny enough, I forgot about that show because Amazonsucksat making their own content known unless it's some brand new crap nobody asked for like their second most expensive show Citadel that I only ever heard about because it was such ancitadelover-budgeted, colossal failure[/url].

Retarded schit like that with zero oversight on quality or where their money is even going is why they're shoving ads into Prime*, so I guess I'll just have to add The Man In The High Castle to my torrent list.[img]//assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

*At this point I don't understand what the difference between Prime Streaming and "Freevee" is even supposed to be if they're both going to have ads, anyways. They have already been shifting so much content from Prime to the ad-only service that I had stopped using the service outside of the rare thing that I couldn't even justify pirating.
[QUOTE=rectifryer post_id=1696131473]wow no surprise there. A sociopathic billionaire has reduced art to a code.[/QUOTE]True, and even better, his code is so stupid and reductive that it speaks volumes about how out of touch they are with the audience they want to cultivate. They never should have got themselves into the creative side and stuck strictly to letting actual production companies handle the hard part while licensing their content.

All the big companies outside of Netflix are squirming because they're finding out the hard way that trying to do what Netflix did while also bankrolling expensive TV shows and movies is an extremely difficult feat. They all could have been happy each getting a slice with outfits like Netflix handling the streaming and content delivery side, but they each wanted the whole damn pie to themselves, so now all the services are turning sour.
I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed - But I'm not afraid to die

Sounds like the Second season of Amazon's Jack Reacher has a lot in common with mgfgt.

Except in mgfgt's case, the show would be called Jack Reacharound. lol

Is it just the show writing that's this bad, or were the books this bad too?

Most of the books are really good. I've rated most of them 4/5 and 5/5. It's definitely the screen writers messing up the story.

So far I'm not a huge fan of some of the newer ones in the series. Lee Child is passing the character off to his brother Andrew, from what I understand, and they cowrote some together. They aren't bringing anything new to the character and things are starting to feel recycled and maybe even mildly woke.

The first book, Killing Floor, is okay but the series really started to get amazing after that.

I was watching episode 7 and it hit me why this season sucks.

They've made these 2 females basically as capable as Reacher. Especially that mixed race one, she's a damn superhero nearly.

I mean what do we need Reacher for when we've got these 2.

And it's not his unit thing....because the men are all dead and the one that's left alive, they're constantly mocking him, even had flashbacks to how poor his aim was etc.

Amazon wokeness on full display and it's ruined the show.
There is but one path....we kill them all.

Yep, show was a lot better when Reacher was the one man-handling everyone. He's mostly a side character in S2.

This is of course ignoring some of the really stupid writing.

Fuark this thread has me worried. I was going to wait for the entire season to be out before downloading it.

Season 1 was bad ass.

Yep part of what made season 1 great was the stark contrast between Reacher and the normies he was protecting. In this season he just doesn't stand out as something special compared to the cast who is as good as, if not better than him.

Meh, it is ok. Not much they can do with the script outside of having Reacher beat the piss out of people.

It is kind of like the transformers movies. It is the exact same movie every time.

This thread inspired me to check out the series.


On season 1 now.

Jack Reacher is the hottest character on the show. Looking forward to the diversity and inclusivity in the next show, the current show is lacking in powerful female characters.

The Special Investigator Unit storyline is lame. I watched episode 7 last night and holy hell the flashback was cringe-inducing. At least the love interest is actually hot this time.

They're getting smarter. Amazon stayed away from in for most of season 1....to draw the viewer in.

Now that everyone is invested heavily, they're clear to drop it harddd in season 2.
