LOL Ok. Didn’t ask if it was good. Asked if I should watch it based on my preferences. Completely different question

These questions are so stupid. "Hey guys this show is widely regarded as one of the best tv shows of all time. Is it good?"

Reply to comment by yawgmoft in So a spin-off series of ‘Rick and Morty’ — ‘Vindicators 2’ — came out last year — uploaded to Adult Swim’s YouTube channel (and surprisingly melancholic in tone). by RealJohnGillman
Jesus, you really don't like it when someone has a different opinion to you. It's fucking sad mate.

I was wondering why they killed him off so fast.

Reply to Serious question, does anyone think AI could replace voice actors that have either passed away or otherwise left a series? by [deleted]
are they licensed to do so? the technology isn't really relevant.

I don’t watch that show, but I recall seeing promos for an episode about a tornado. Did the producers just copy a random tornado warning alert and use it on the show? If so, that’s kind of hilarious until/unless the EAS went off.

Mr Robot is one of the few mystery shows that answers every single mystery and satisfyingly so. Watch it.

Yeah 500k is only the cost of a halfway decent house these days.

Yes, we have that technology right now. AI models available today are not as innovative as a human voice actor, but they do a good job of duplicating a basic range of emotions in the actor's cadence.
The question isn't whether we can, but whether the actor's family can sue for using their voice. Right now, performers' rights legislation only protects content made by the actor themselves and does not protect against AI voice duplication. In the coming years, there will undoubtedly be a few legal cases on this subject, but ultimately it may have to be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Counterpoint: It is one of the best shows ever.

Don't ask or read more about it. It fits with your favorites but knowing less is better for the full ride.

It’s a great show.
It’s not one of my best shows ever but it is definitely one of the best looking shows.

Like what I’m hearing. I feel like it’s a similar vibe to The Leftovers. Accurate?

Great writing with a lot of different plot twists, they're actually correct with their tech, and it's just a good show overall.
I was hooked from the first scene and spent a week binge watching the entire series during the first lockdown.

Yes. They go into the other characters who was on the plane that crashed.

As John Rogers says, "A fine is a price."
You might even expand it to "A fine is a price that you only occasionally have to pay."

That was only made public after O'Hare passed away. So it was more than a decade after B5 wrapped up that the full story was made public. And so, a lot of people don't know unless they read online news about B5 years after it ended.

It's remarkable and totally underrated. The ending is good, too.
