guys i just finally finished the 4th and final season of Man in the High Castle and tbh...i'm torn. It was a really interesting show that grasped me firmly for 3.9 seasons but that last episode was such an unsatisfying dud i just...i just don't know that i can recommend it. like seriously 39 episodes of v interesting story, and then the 40th episode and you're just like...uh, okay.

So, I suppose if you can enjoy a really well told story with lots of interesting plot twists along the way, but a satisfying conclusion is not important to you...then MITHC is the show for you.

I had been looking forward to The Outsider and the first two episodes have grabbed me by the balls. Moving a little faster than I anticipated.

I'm going to stay with it, but it's like every single damn HBO drama not named succession or game of thrones. I feel like HBO dramas are one continual show called  The True Leftovers Outside of the Watchman's Dark Materials.

Queue someone explaining how one show about unexplained futuristic paranormal mysteries greatly differs from other shows about unexplained futuristic paranormal mysteries.

Sharp objects was different unless you consider a person drinking two bottles of vodka every day and never showing a single sign of even being slightly buzzed a paranormal event

I'm going to stay with it, but it's like every single damn HBO drama not named succession or game of thrones. I feel like HBO dramas are one continual show called  The True Leftovers Outside of the Watchman's Dark Materials.

I have several questions.

Which of those shows is futuristic? Watchmen is set predominantly in 2019, with some flashbacks to 2008 and the 80s. His Dark Materials has parallel universes, one of which appears to be present day based on their use of iphones but nothing about it seems especially futuristic?
The leftovers I guess i don't remember anything about the show that would indicate that it was anything other than present day. Its been a while since i watched the show but they didn't seem to have any technologies that are any different than we have now.

Your other descriptors...unexplained paranormal mysteries...well unexplained and mysteries are redundant, and then for something to be paranormal that also means unexplained but just like, more specifically it is a mystery that science cannot explain.

So...i guess my question here is are you suggesting these shows are all the same because they all contain the element of some kind of mystery that defies scientific explanation?

Sorry just trying to better understand the nature of your position.  i'll listen off air thanks go cats.

Yeah, all revolve around an antagonist or plot line that isn't rooted in any kind of reality. I'm not saying I don't like them, I'll continue to watch the outsider, I loved true detective and the leftovers, but drama not rooted in reality, seem to be an HBO thing. They reliably have some weird drama always running. Whereas Showtime has no dramas like this, at all; billions, ray donovan, homeland, the chi, city on a hill, etc.

fair enough i suppose. hadn't really noticed how prevalent the sci-fi/fantasy aspect was in HBO shows as compared to other premium channels

UPCOMING SHOWS

I don't know if I really like the direction that WestWorld is going.  I wasn't 100% thrilled with last season.  But I am going to stick around at this point.

I am excited for Bosch Season 6 coming this spring.

I'm in complete agreement about WestWorld. I'm also looking forward to Avenue 5 which debuts this weekend.

did you see the trailer for season 3?  I think there is a good possibility it is going to suck.

They showed something short for it before The Outsider, but it wasn't a trailer. I haven't seen a trailer. I know the setting and characters for season 3 and both concern me.

The Wire. Not close imo.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

There are ~10 scenes in this I could pull up at any time and they would kill me.

Treme better than both of them. David Simon is a genius.
