"people hate the casting so they hate on the actor's appearance, reminds me of how #notmyrodrick and how that actor's career suffered because of it"
"But it's the top slop right now at hbo. This is the same network that gave us the sopranos, the wire, boardwalk empire, etc so relax. Some of us are offended by this latest slop (not me)."
"The preacher turns out to be a pedophile cannibal who's gonna rape her even though the house is in flames and she's an skilled killer, all while saying 'the fighting is the part I like the most'? This show is the epitome of faux-prestige tv."
""The last of us TV show is so sick! Season 2 has been a little mid so far but it's still a great show. You gotta watch it""
"I was hoping for a slow burn that expanded the plot of the game with a rich world, but instead they're just sprinting through the plot of the game, recreating famous scenes and set pieces, and adding small 1-2 episode side plots to each location that have no long term impact on the larger story or c"
"But notice nowadays it's all exurbans in expensive Patagonia jackets, rancher flannels, PNE hiking athleisure and paramilitary tactical gear driving lifted trucks. Even in the more lib-coded ones like Station Eleven and LoU, everybody looks like their Bundies or in the Proud Boys."
"Imm sure if I put that on at my mother's place she would think was actually autistic."
"The bar for Tv Shows being considered great is so low right now. I watched some series of the last year which were acclaimed — The Last of Us, Severance and The White Lotus — and they all seemed bland to me."
"It's a borough of aging millennials that have stopped living and now spend their weekends catching up on the Last of Us (Bay Ridge not included)."
"I love Rutina, she was underused in the last of us."
"I watched ep. 1 and felt nothing as everything is literally copied from the cutscenes only made longer for some reason. It elicitcs the same type of response that Chernobyl and Dahmer did - just unnecessary retellings of recent stories. No flair at all, no style, like a wikipedia article coming to l"
"All of my friends and family are doing that thing where they argue about who's the good guy. But they're missing the whole point, which is that there are no good guys. It's one of those stories where everyone is a different degree of villain."
"Zoomers: Openly pro-selling out. Their perception of work, family, relationships, and society is incredibly pessimistic. 'Act your wage,' quiet quitting, Doomer memes, climate despair, heavily romanticizing/aestheticizing the past, situationships, rising singlehood, declining car culture, Black Mirr"
"the absolute form of brain sick algorithmic flattening has already been achieved in the 'HBO' show *The Last Of Us.*"
"I dont understand why that thing was made and why it's received well. The game had a nice collection of cutscenes, that when put together created a pretty compelling 2 hour long live action film. So the idea they had was to stretch it out into 9 episodes of TV?"
