Looks decent. Fairly sure i glance everything touching scifi, fantasy, history and organized crime that comes out these days. I think i substituted background music with background tv at some point.

saaaaame also weird is that after years and years of streaming shit to my tv i now just watch everything on my laptop.

not sure what to make of that, not sure thats positive change.

bump because this shit just went live on netflix and im finna get absolutely titted on edibles and peep this tomorrow.

I'd rate it somewhere close to Snowpiercer. Decent start for show. Six episode euro thing. I don't really like anyone in the show. No one and nothing really stands out. There really should be a show based on Fallout or Mad Max.

this... is not what i was hoping for. its got a heavy YA vibe for one thing and for another its literally hitting me with matrix rave scene vibes and everyone hates matrix rave scene vibes.

also just lots of really meh fight choreography...

snowpiercer is an exceedingly strong read. really didnt like that fucking movie.

a bit into ep 3 and i keep waiting for it to somehow get less formulaic and im so far disappointed.

More like Snowpiercer the tv-show. Movie was whatever. The series is say 7/10. Watchable but nothing special. Scifi in TV hasn't been great. For the last 15 years there was Battlestar Galactiga and Expanse. Everything between that was iffy. If you don't mind YA thingies, there was the 100.

Last few years there's been some decent titles like first two seasons of Westworld and Raised by Wolves. Probably something i'm forgetting. Star Trek, Star Wars and Doctor Who exists. I don't care too much about them, but they have legit fandom.

I was under the impression you had watched the entire series. From my perspective it takes most of it's influences from 2 video games. Fallout and Wasteland. If there are other popular dystopias that seem more likely it's my bad. They kinda popularized the world's gone to shit and we're back to tribalism trope.

The first season of Tribes of Europa sets the stage for that. Whatever original spin they are going to do with it is saved for season 2. Why i mentioned Fallout in my first post about this was because that world was fun and it it had it's 50s flair going for it. There was a tv nostalgia kick to it. Mad Max is scrappier. I can understand these worlds. I can see why heroes are doing whatever they are doing. Factions have clear motivations. That type of shit.

ok 'cum before me and ill slit your throat' is not very YA.

just wrapped ep 4 and its actually growing on me, but im also fast forwarding through literally any scene with dancing and that helps a lot.

ok, season 1 in the bag.

thoughts in no order...

- watching mr sex slave teenager get psychologically tortured was actually kinda great. that said it was very, very, very obvious who he was going to fight but whatever.

- i want to speak to whoever decided it was super cool to use the final scene of the fucking season as the splash screen for the episode.

- people need to stop casting 19 year olds to play 14 year olds in general.

- i dont care about the femen at all.

- im revising my opinion to a thumbs up and im not sure if its because or despite of the budget being like $75 and a pack of parliaments.

Yea it kinda set the stage for something interesting to happen. There was the weird decision of random nudity in ep4 or something. Like they started with YAish vibe and then there was GoT type of casual nudity in the middle of the season. And all-around darker themes like foreshadowing that milf in the cum and i'll kill you scene might be the dudes actual mother, first of his tribe and whatever. I don't really remember if in the crimson tribe the old guy that gets killed is the actual father of the guy running the coup, but it's somewhat odd transition to Greek tragedy tropes.

I think the show would have gained from 10-12ep season. 6 ep's is a cheapish commitment to see if anything sticks, but it's really only enough to introduce the world and few characters. To me te world feels generic and i'm not invested in any of the character. Every character feels like a knockoff.

Still it's solid 7/10. I don't mind a second season.

They are hinting that Sophia is his real mom and that's a really dark angle. It's possible the season was cut because of budget strains. I just hoped they would get to flesh out characters more.

As is the Atlantic searching duo arc felt like it was ripped of from Star Wars.

been looking into that... apparently his moms name was chloe and crows never lie so we can assume sophia is in fact her real name. also kiano was 13 when chloe vanished, is it possible that she went from slave to crow lord in like 5'ish years? thats a tough sell.

also she seems to have one pair of shoes total and although thats not exactly relevant to this topic i want it on the record.

people cant shut the fuck up about 'the dune influence' because the femen is named alia and honestly its infuriating.
