Resident Alien season 2 starts tomorrow. I really enjoyed the first season. First 5 minutes of S02E01...

After rewatching the episode the ambulance scene with Keife chest bumping to *crickets* made me spit out my rum and coke.

Martin Freeman gone full crackin' Scouse. Opt for closed captions.
Fairly run-of-the-mill narrative with a modern update, worth it for performances and dialogue. EDIT - after binging, it's . . . different from run-of-the-mill, at least different from what you expect at the outset. Kind of hard to encapsulate without spoiling . . . Curious what the take of others will be. Last edited by Baby Lee; 01-26-2022 at 04:58 AM.. |

So, I stumbled upon this on Netflix, and immediately burned through the whole first season. It's not perfect, but it's one of the better trippy thrillers I've seen on Netflix in a while. The suspense is pretty intense in many parts. It's complex. There's a thousand different ways they could take the next season and most of them would be pretty cool.

that Resident Alien apparently has quite a little following.

If you liked Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building, up your alley.
It's basically Agatha Christie Rashomon, format as old as televised murder mystery, but lots of good improv talent and a fairly entertaining pace. |

Thoroughly enjoy watching Will Arnett, but it seems as though he can't catch on with anything substantive since...Arrested Development? Not sure if I'm overlooking something besides his voice-overs for Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. I know he has done a lot of animated kid's movies-- but I don't watch those. Undoubtedly someone will come along and lambaste me, pointing out the 50 projects he's produced or starred in over the past five years. But to me, he's either Gob Bluth or Stranz Van Waldenberg. |

You might watch the whole thing without thinking of Arnett once, even though he's the lead voice, but it's truly a seminal work. Don't be off-put by the idea of animation, it's philosophical and wistful and even mind-numbingly sad at points, and also gut-bustingly hilarious most of the time. Also, if it seems trifling at first, stick with it. It has an endgame, . . . boy, does it have an endgame. There's an existing conversation in this thread, starting here https://chiefsplanet.com/bb/showpost...&postcount=985 EDIT - remove the trailer since it's in the link to the prior convo above.^^ Last edited by Baby Lee; 01-28-2022 at 09:30 AM.. |

Two of my favorite genres are historical dramas and comedies.
I'm really enjoying The Great on Hulu. Fun series, hilariously vulgar. |
