Answers so far have all been historical, though I'd suggest the future has some good ones too (the expanse). But I'm struggling to find examples of fully pitched contemporary wars. I can think of some really cool military style opps scenes but no full fledged army on army, multi battle, out and out "wars"

I guess the new sas rogue heros qualifies

I liked it to.

At the start yeah but the writing ends up all over the place as it progresses.

> Look at how lambasted the witcher was because no one could bother to pay attention and instead blamed the showrunners

There’s absolutely no good reason not to tell me when the timeline switches, though. It doesn’t have to be huge, I don’t need text on the screen or anything, but at least a woosh like on Lost or something. It’s frustrating to have to be like “oh okay which set of people are we following now?” after every cut.

Sure HBO Executive sir, I agree (i honestly could not give a fuck)

Well yeah, have you not watched much South Park?

For example, Cartman is a complete asshole racist bigot douchebag and he says a lot of fucked up stuff.

You know what the difference is? The other characters call him out for it, and Cartman looks like a complete monster most of the time.

That's the difference.

How is that show? It's been on my list for a while.

This role and Alfie on Peaky Blinders are my top favorite roles for him.

Oh for sure, he just actually hates them.

Yeah it's the kind of show I can't binge because Phil gets on my nerves on high doses, but it's perfect to watch an episode here or there because it's just a goofy guy having a blast eating food in different places.

It's one of those "comfort watch" kind of shows

Yes. She was also in Insecure. PEN15 is the shit though. Very few shows have episodes that all hit.

I really loved Michael Shannon's Van Alden character on Boardwalk Empire, he was just a real nut but I was so interested every time he was on screen

Yeah Paul is such a sociopath and user. Has this toxic control of females he encounters. Especially with his daughter and the underage girl.

I mean, yeah, not saying you can make it with a couple bucks but still like probably 1/10th of the budget for a show like Sense8, which guess what, people didn’t watch and couldn’t justify its budget.

This show disturbs me on so many levels but I can’t stop watching. The acting is top notch and compelling. Sometimes I take a shower afterwards to get all the negative energy off of me.

so you're not in 8th grade and you're saying I should move in lockstep with critics and audiences, otherwise not express my opinion?

I've found a lot of anime adaptations for games end up feeling more fast-paced and like a promo anime instead of a proper series. Going off The World Ends With You & Scarlet Nexus anime adaptations.

Weak answer, but Vikings Valhalla is way better than it deserves to be.

Meanwhile they complain about dumb people and others who can't grasp nuanced concepts

Maya inherited all her mother's racial features, you won't even believe she's mixed at all.

There are a lot of questions people have that the show doesn't really explain. Overall the show was kind of a let down because of this. I would recommend you don't read into anything too much.

I was misremembering, Sam himself says it not his mother

Thank you, I guess I did misremember. But that’s a great explanation and insight. A demonstration of yet another way Sam objectifies people, and also a reason for Dr Strauss to be targeted at all. And I appreciate that reference to being a “pet,” that line in the show was haunting

> Phil even hints multiple times that his brother has connections and that’s the only reason the show took off in the first place.

Phil was the executive producer/writer for Everybody Loves Raymond. He has his plenty of his own connections.
