TV Series On The Television
Re: TV Series On The Television
I read "Seaquest" and thought "Sealab".
Re: TV Series On The Television
The CG is surprisingly not bad, since it's all underwater? All they had to model was the Seaquest, the little drones that buzz around it, their shuttle submersible, and a regular-ass submarine. Against the dark and shit-filled deep-sea water, it looks decent.

It is very not good, but in season 1, there are sometimes moments where the great lead (Roy Schnider) and the socio-political setting where they're mining the ocean floor come together nicely. Mostly happens in the pilot and the one where they find the library of alexandria.
So much schlock otherwise, though...
Oh my god, I don't think I've had a single thought about that TV show in, like, 25 years.
And yet I can immediately picture it.
God, remember that teen heartthrob that was in it

I'm generally pretty bearish on video game adaptations these days. There is some good stuff coming out, like Cyberpunk or Castlevania that I enjoyed, but there's also stuff like Sonic and Last of Us which are... fine. But in general the pendulum has swung towards being TOO faithful with the intent of making sure the target audience is doing the Leo point every 10 minutes or whatever
Which makes Fallout being good quite a surprise. On the surface it looks like it's too faithful of an adaptation, but somehow it manages to work and tell a fun story. There's a strong cast of characters with conflicting and well-defined motivations (and also Maximus), and in particular Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins are bringing way more than they needed to. Goggins looks downright gleeful at times getting to shoot guns at dudes in power armor
Anyway, it's out right now on the Pirate Bay, worth watching

At the recommendation of a random dude on a Discord server I frequent, I started watching The Tourist, which is about a guy who wakes up in the Australian outback with no memory, with a few people trying to kill him. Pretty Bourne Identity-ey.
I think overall I really enjoy the cast, but the writing can get a bit obvious. The main love interest is engaged to a guy who is cartoonishly dumb and inconsiderate, and it is absolutely torturous having to sit through scenes where the entire point is to yet again say "she should not be with this guy".
On the other hand, every actor is a lot of fun and the main adventure is quite entertaining. I'm starting S2 now and I think it's better than the first.
