Imagine SEVERANCE being produced for $20mn a pop.

That's roughly the same budget as HOTD. What's so visually striking about a show set in an office? This is just brazen wastage if you ask me. No wonder they're scaling back on productions.
Apple TV+ penchant for also spending $200mn on theatrical movies that no one watches is another puzzle.

Baby Reindeer.......9.5/10

Definitely one of the best TV shows I've watched to come out this year.
It's a dark comedy drama of some sort about a down on his luck aspiring comedian and his unrelenting st@lker. Superb character work on the two main cast.

It tells a tale of obse£ssion, self-hate, narcissism, lüst, abuse, inferiority, manipulation and along the line develops into a journey of self discovery, hope, strength and resilience. A masterpiece.

The actors was so darn good at portraying the characters that you can't help to just hate some for their personality or the other for his utter naivety and stupídity. Which goes to highlight the perfect job done by its actors.
It was painfully annoying at times and plays with your emotions all through, flexing its narrative superiority and how it wants you to feel. It's a top tier show.

Now I see the hype and the rave about this show. Richard Gadd truly deserves his Emmy nominations for this masterpiece and he's the biggest favourite to bag that award. No surprises here.

MSGAMBLE9:
Well Kunle Afolayan has already explored the intricacies of Old Oyo empire politics in Anikulapo Series...Atleast scratching the surface and that is a good start.

OhBritannia:
Those about to die episode 1 and 2 are a solid 9.5/10 for me.

If you are not watching this new series titled "those about to die" then you are missing.
Just finished episode two and it's been premium entertaining so far.

A worthy series in the category of Spartacus, Rome etc.
The cinematographer, picture, deep plots, politics in only two episodes i have watched have blown my mind away.

Let me continue the series.

Seeing it nominated for Emmys made me finally put it on the expedited list. Whole season downloaded months ago but my procrastination no lemme watch am.

abduleez1:


Those w@nkers just tryna be weird and so auteur. Whereas they're pretentious. I Saw The TV Glow isn't even my problem. How TF did Love Lies Bleeding get into that list. Recently I've stopped taking listings like this from IndieWire seriously. They usually push some weird agendas against some films and TV shows. Their listings are mostly relevant for years past.

With their pretentious support for indie films, how come they don't have Late Night With The Devil there??

phr0nesis:

The Last Omen and Furiousa are the only movies I've watched there.

DeeScan:
is that interview with the vampire really worth the hype you lots are giving it here..


Now, I'm getting ideas of trying it out...

abduleez1:
Looks to be an interesting watch.... Omo, shey person go fit keep up like dis. 😢😢

The Bear

Episode 1: Just scenic shoots, and beautiful food, reminds me of Scavenger Reign

Episode 2: Shouting, shouting, shouting, and argument, argument, argument.

That's not true for GOT. Game of Thrones is a peculiar case. First off - production design was totally alike in 6 seasons so they didn't need to recreate sets. VFX was made by just one company unlike most other shows. It was so popular that HBO didn't need to greenlit the show before they started production - most of the production team was in house. Also GOT started in 2011 - things were very different then- it was not made as a streaming show - you'll realise the show production value increased over time

I've you seen moonshot?

I felt the same way too but then when I figured out how difficult it is to make movies - i was surprised by how they could even make a movie in less than 2 years. Sitcoms are easy to make just because it has to do just do with writing and filming - production costs are not so much. Shows like Friends, Seinfeld and also comedy movies without many locations can be pulled off in 5 months or less. But streaming shows and movies with genres like fantasy, action and sci-fi have really large production cost, vfx cost, scouting cost, etc. I'll break it down:
1. Writing - Shows like this with a canon like Stranger Things, Westworld, Game of Thrones, Severance all take up at least 4 months to write and even up to a year for re-writes. Sometimes, they have to wait until the streaming company approve another season before they can start writing again
2. Determine Pre-production Budget and Wrap Crew Costs
3. Break Down the Script and List the Expenses
4. Scout for Locations - that could take three months minimum
5. Build Sets - in House of the Dragon - they built a full city, they also built Harrenhall - you can imagine the months it takes to build that, hire architect that has to draw up everything first, try to make adjustment that the director goes through and make some changes before they build, they built the sewer - the blood and cheese scene.
5. Filming - that could take 6 months minimum
6. Editing
7. VFX
8. Post production
Sometimes reshoots!
you can imagine!

You're totally right but my top 10 are shows that I've rewatched over and over again including the Boys and GOT. My most rewatched series is actually Stranger Things, Bridgerton and Friends - I can't count how many times I've rewatched them - EVERY SEASON OF FRIENDS.
While shows like Succession and Better Call Saul just jumped to my list this year and I'm sure if I have the chance, I'ld rewatch them.

But your best shows don't actually constitute as your most rewatchable shows.

There are movies that are on my top 10 but I may never rewatch- not because it's bad but because of how it makes me feel - imagine rewatching Schindler's List over and over again when you're not a sadist 💀. That includes shows too. Shows like Chernobyl and the Bear are on my best best lists but they're not the most rewatchable shows. I have shows I can rewatch just because it makes me laugh like HIMYM or The Beef but they're not even my top 20

abduleez1:


Bruv, HBO no be anybody mate for Fantasy genre. No be today.

That episode was hard AF and expected. So so top tier. Omo, that Baela burn was really wild. 😂😂

So far, the Blacks has been pretty dumb and lethargic with most of their moves.

That guy na pure TUKPE!!!

You're saying the king na "My mama tell me say i be Targaryen". Make Kingsguard no catch you abeg 😂😂

joseph1832:
Aemond wanted to kill Aegon. This much is very clear he's been waiting for the opportunity to present itself. It's such a pity Rhaenys wanted to die... though I can't seem to understand why.

joseph1832:
it's been obvious Aegon is weak and a bumbling fool, I guess this is why Alicunt and her dad conspired to put his weakling ass on the throne, for the sole purpose of believing they can control him.

The real threat as I've notice is Aemond a d Daemond, they're both crazy and love LovePeddler pussy_ LOL.
