I'm the only one not feeling this season of the handmaid tale?

pryme:
One of the few (if not the only) good movies that portrayed a Nigerian in good light, a Hollywood movie for that matter.

Unlike District 9 where Nigerians were seen as people that eat the Aliens and their organs and are black market sellers of the alien tech.

Gringo 8.5/10 for me.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw David oyelowo speaking Yoruba so perfectly

Why wasn't gringo promoted massively in Nigeria

It would have been a big hit in Nigerian cinema

I know it an Hollywood movie..but still we could have claim it as our own

Just started zendaya euphoria..

And the first episode is full of so much graphic sex scene.. You might as well be watching porn.

LLobiorah:
Please someone should recommend any seasonal movie wey make sense. Area of interest could be anything other than love.

Thanks.

Ozark

CrystalTiger:
Why is DEEP STATE not getting the recognition it deserves?..Show is really very good honestly..

Plot holes bro.. Lot of it

Olamyyde:
As great as giancarlo esposito's acting was, it was overshadowed by the ridiculous acting performance of Bryan Cranston and aaron paul. He didn't win any emmy award. I still regard Bryan Cranston's acting in breaking bad as the greatest TV acting performance of all time.

Gustavo fring was a f'ckin psychopath to me. Especially when he lost his partner. Just watch him in better call saul. He doesn't give a Bleep about anyone. The best he can give someone is respect and once that is lost, the person's days are numbered.

Gustavo has a certain image he would like to project to the world.. He want to be seen as a legit business man.. Philanthropist, law abiding citizen..while being a ruthless drug lord.. Looking back now I won't regard Gustavo as a psychopath..Gustavo just has a certain code of ethic which he abide by and also a drive for revenge on his drug certel..

A real psychopath can be found in killing Eve.. Jodie Comer.. She kill for no damn reason.. She fit the perfect description of a psychopath.. Gustavo doesn't even like blood.. I think he actually killed just once by himself while wearing an apron and hand glove to prevent stain.. And he did it just to send a message. In my own opinion I think Gustavo is just a scheming, calculative, brilliant bastard! Not a psychopath

KoiceReloaded:
I don't think he was a psychopath. He's a far more complex individual. If you call him a devil incarnate, you wouldn't be far off the mark. I know for a fact he's not motivated by pleasure, or greed. He's a perfectionist that is utterly ruthless in violence, rage, and spiteful revenge that it's a fascination to behold.

Yeah true.. That another way to look at it

KoiceReloaded:
My top television anti-heroes and villains in no particular order

- Walter White (Breaking Bad): He poisoned a kid, murdered dozens of people to protect his empire, allowed his best friend's girlfriend to die in front of him to protect his investment, teamed up with neo-nazis to expand his drug empire, he bullied and manipulated his only friends to get them to do what he wants, etc.

- Arthur Mitchell (Dexter): Possibly the most prolific and successful serial killer in fictional Television by kill counts (267 victims). Between the discovery of his killings, and the discovery of his identity, he was dubbed The Trinity Killer , due to the theory that his kill-cycle involved three murder rituals.

- Marlo Stanfield (The Wire): He is driven by the desire for totalitarian power. He orderes murders for very trivial reasons. He killed people for any perceived slight or provocation. He caused the homicide count in Baltimore to go to the hundreds.

- Dexter Morgan (Dexter): The most prolific and successful serial killer in fictional Television by survival (was never caught). Dexter is a psychopath and even though he limit his kills to other "bad guys", his motivation is completely selfish. He doesn't kill to punish the wicked but to satisfy his desires. When he screws up, and kill a wrong person, it doesn't upset him that he killed someone that didn't deserve to die, rather, that he made a mistake. It's his vanity and pride that are hurt. Basically, Dexter is not interested in being moral, he is interested in getting away with murder.

- Herr Starr (Preacher): The most feared man in The Grail (A secret organization dedicated to keeping the bloodline of Jesus Christ intact), Starr is the Sacred Executioner, the sword of the Allfather. With his grating voice and his scarred face, he is the threat of the Grail's power in human form. Whenever the Grail needs to put pressure on a state or on a leader, Starr is the one who pay them a visit, and when someone needs to be silenced, Starr silence them.

Others:

- Wilson Fisk (Daredevil)
- Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal)
- Pablo Escobar (Narcos)
- Jax Teller (Sons of Anarchy)
- Boyd Crowder (Justified)
- Elizabeth Jennings (The Americans)
- Vic Mackey (The Shield)
- Gilead (The Handmaid's Tale)
- Killgrave (Jessica Jones)
- Mr Nobody (Doom Patrol)
- Nucky Thompson (Broadwalk Empire)
- Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)
- Lucas Hood (Banshee)
- Gustavo Fring (Breaking Bad).
- Cersei Lannister (Game of Thrones)
- Etc

I hope Gustavo firing (Giancarlo Esposito) received an Oscar or Emmy for his performance in breaking bad.. Man was a psychopath

Child looking basic af

Next time op don't just put graphics photos

Instead "really really graphic photos"

May her soul rest in peace

Good luck to Nigeria

Luvinghubby:
It's a shame, Nigerians are no more respected in Africa, a whole giant of Africa.
I pray there is no major war because in Nigeria because from what am seeing neighbouring African countries will not accept us as refugees.

Don't deceive your self we were never at any time giants of Africa

Years and years

KoiceReloaded:
Live audience or not, a laugh track is a laugh track.

Okay whatever rocks your boat

KoiceReloaded:
Actually there are a lot of people that aren't too keen on TBBT. Not everyone likes sitcoms that not only have laugh tracks, but have utterly outlived their welcome. Inevitably, the humor adopted a formulaic approach to stay relevant. Also, the random laugh tracks bug the hell out of me, like it's trying to tell me when to laugh and whatnot... I prefer my comedy more subtle, thank you very much.

Huh... Laugh track.. That a live audience bro..LIVE AUDIENCE!

That one of the greatest comedy shows of this generation a show that has 12 seasons.. Common man.. You are the only one who seem not to like THE BIG BANG THEORY.. There is nothing like it on TV. absolutely nothing

KoiceReloaded:
List out your top 10 shows... let's start from there.

In no particular order

Peaky blinders

Narcos

Game of thrones

Breaking bad ( watching it the second time did the trick for me)

Orphan black

When they see us

Ozark

The handmaid tale

Ramy

Prison break

The big bang theory

Chernobyl



That 12 shows people will have no problem with

vampire2020:
I wasted my precious Data downloading umbrella academy ,I could get past 20min in to the first episode, I pressed Ctrl A and D next.

I manage to watch 2 episode because of the hype and promotions Netflix had given it.. I wanted it to be good, I had high hope for it.. They should have given all the promotion to sex education instead which is obviously better

KoiceReloaded:
The Umbrella Academy didn't flop. On it's debut, it was widely lauded by fans and critics across the cyberspace. It only flopped in this thread, which is apparently the only place you visit on cyberspace.

8.1/10 · IMDb
77% · Rotten Tomatoes

It's getting a season 2 btw.



Doom Patrol
8.3/10 · IMDb
95% · Rotten Tomatoes

Christ where do you get your rating from.. It a sh!t show.. You are obviously into sh! t show.. Because all you hype are shite show

KoiceReloaded:
Bro, taste differs. There are people that hate Breaking Bad, Chernobyl and The Sopranos, and yet, they are some of the best tv shows on the planet for me. There are people that abhor slow burners, and yet, I love them very much. There are people that love comedies with laugh tracks, and yet I can't stand them. There are people that would unironically call The Originals the greatest show ever, and yet I couldn't even last 5 minutes on the show. There are people that love telenovelas, and yet, I haven't watched a single telenovela as an adult.

Bottom line, stick to what turns your engine. What may be the sweetest food for you is someone else's allergy. You can't fit a square block in a round hole.


stick to your Flash and Supergirl and leave Umbrella Academy and company for people that likes em. Taste differs

Flash and supergirl.. Are you mental?

All this unrest happening in the north should have ended with buhari being in power

No one really knows what boko haram / herd men's want..

So far their only aim and purpose is to cause disruption in the northern part of Nigeria only

Or can anyone enlighten me better

KoiceReloaded:
Not number 1, but better in some ways than The Umbrella Academy.

Anyhoo, if you like Umbrella Academy, you'll probably like Doom Patrol as well. They're both cut from the same cloth.

Umbrella academy is one of the worst thing from Netflix this year.. So much promotions and hype For something that eventually flop badly..

If you like umbrella academy, doom patrol.. You will probably be into los espookys.. One look at the trailer and I know it not for me

troubleseller:
Anybody seen Master of None?

Yeah pretty good

Odkboy23:
Grand Hotel anyone... It has devious maids kinda vibe.

Watch the trailer before you download

Don't do something you will regret.. It basically Telemundo set in America with people speaking English

We also have BRT buses here with wifi.. So they can't flex on us

And that's why he can't be the GOAT, in my eyes, when he still has Barca as his safety net...he needs to go to another club and perform the same miracles he's doing at Barca for me to agree that he's better than CR7...until that happens...CR7 the GOAT! #Road to Ballon d'Or 6..

So swamp thing isn't canceled as widely reported episode 3 is out

femotechno:
That show is so quack.. The acting self is quack. Someone recommended it as his one if his all time..i wondered if I was watching a different show

I couldn't get passed the first episode. I think the target audience was for teenagers between the age of 10 to 15..DC really need to be stopped!

I downloaded it because someone was rating it high here only to be disappointed

DC need to be stopped from making anything. what the hell was that Doom patrol? so so bad.. Jesus!

Probably a drug dealer

KoiceReloaded:
If you loved Banshee, you're gonna gobble Warrior up.

I just saw cobra Kai trailer.. I have made it a rule to stay away from anything YouTube original..

So I won't be seeing it
