Similar to what happened with arrested development

No what happened to AD was first season ran fine, critical acclaim, season two fox started punting it around the schedule showing eps at different times that affected ratings, still critically acclaimed, season three came with a much smaller episode order from Fox first off, then through filming Fox cut the episode order again which gave S3 this kinda weird feeling in the second half of it, they literally had to skip full plotlines. S3 was aired on fox again, all over the place, which made it hard for anyone to commit to it. But it was all still highly critically acclaimed. It's all in the commentaries with Mitch Hurwitz on the dvds. Whilst Cera and Bateman had their stock rise as a result of AD, Cera didn't get his big movie until Superbad in 2007. AD S1-3 ran from '02-'05. Then the cancellation happened. Then the years of nothing and the horrific Netflix series'. We don't talk of them.

As in by the time it got to Netflix many of the cast were too popular and therefore they couldn't get them all together so had to write the story around their availability.

Finished Mr & Mrs Smith on Prime, thought it was mostly decent and a few particular high points but that last episode was a stinker.

Ending was a cop-out.

Trying some Shogun. Asano is so rugged and those feathered pauldrons fly as fuck.

Been rinsing Constellation last night and today. Its both very enjoyable and utter trash, like all these things it doesn't really know what it is but it's filled with enough the fuck is that to make it fly by.

It's also yet another example that child actors need binning off. Just CGI the cunts.

Finished strike (or up to current season) liked it alot

Now on to Shetland

We started watching Death and Other Details on Disney. It’s a bit Agatha Christie and a bit Wes Anderson and a bit White Lotus and a bit Only Murders in the Building. It’s not as good as any of those things, but it’s breezing by pleasantly enough.

We’ve been watching Constellation too. Felt like the main issue is that the big mystery (assuming it’s meant to be one) is fairly obvious from the start.

I also found weird posh kid annoying but gradually warmed to her as she got more to do. But found Noomi pretty one note throughout. (Best episode so far is the on she’s barely in).

Despite all that I’m enjoying it quite a bit somehow…

Dark Soldier

Yeah I'm enjoying it too. There's literally a reveal of what the 'mystery' is within the first 10 minutes or so of the first episode

Spoiler:

So unless they chuck something mad our way, it is fairly obvious. Agreed on Noomi but I don't think she's ever been good in anything really. Still hate the kid, can't see that changing, but it does enough to keep it cracking along.

After watching Johnathan Banks play Mike in BB and BCS, I find it hard to see him in other things. I ditched Constellation after the first episode, may go back now.

Contrarily, Bob Odenkirk is a good actor, rewatched season one of Fargo, and he’s just so far away from Saul in that cop role and plays it terrifically.

Dark Soldier

Yeah I keep expecting him to pull out a pistol in this and just execute anyone who challenges him.

Just googled the kid, and there's a good reason why they cast her...

She's not one kid, she's two - identical twins.
