Reply to Question about Mad Men by Ftimis
The overt sexual harassment is probably at its most prominent in the first season or two. As the years progress, the men in the show start to mellow out in regards to objectifying the women in the office, and the women also begin taking an active role in their own careers and show more agency. Sexism certainly does remain a part of the show but (at least in my memory) it's more like a thing that pops up once in a while and becomes a thing that characters within the series are showing disgust with, rather than a day-to-day thing that no one pays any mind to.
I love the advertisement/business side of things, so I don't really know if I can say it gets BETTER for you in that regard (season 5 is my favorite, with 4 and 6 right behind it, so I do think it peaks much later). As the 60s begin to really take form, the counterculture slowly gets integrated and people are less buttoned-up than they are in 1960. Also starting sometime in season 3 I feel like the writers have a lot more fun with it and integrate more humor and weird situations.

It’s probably not for you. I got through season one and decided I didn’t care about any of the characters, so I stopped there.

He definitely helped with the event-based element of Marvel (House of M, Civil War, World War Hulk) but his decision with Brand New Day is pretty maddening.

Tbh A Ghost Story and The Green Knight both wrecked me.

My biggest gripe is pacing. The episodic weekly release structure is the wrong format now for what they're doing. I feel like I'm watching highly disjointed chunks of a movie rather than a show with episodes.
Some things feel too slow and others way too fast. They've lost the elements of good storytelling that could cover up some of the other issues.
I'm also in the camp that Grogu doesn't need to be in this season and his return in BoBF was way too early. Everything he's done could have either been someone/something else or just cut with very little quality loss. I loved seeing his rescue but it wasn't necessary to that plot and could have waited.
I think it would have been better to have Grogu return after they reclaim Mandalore - whatever that means be it the planet or the culture.

Reply to The Ark is embarrassing! by opiate_lifer
Every character on the show is an absolute caricature, but Lt. Garnet is by far the most laughable. A genetically enhanced clone who is obviously superior in every way except for the fact that she is emotionally vulnerable and just wants to be loved.

I was more hoping for a Jessica Jones revival, but with the rumors surrounding the way Disney is handling the Daredevil reboot I'm thinking Echoes has a much higher chance of being good than Disneyfied Jessica Jones. So yay Echoes.

I'm purposely avoiding Andor, so I'll give you a up vote.

Haha, I’m actually working through all the Star Wars content in chronological order, so I’m getting close to Andor!

That actually does surprise me. I thought Clone Wars got really good eventually, but the first 3 or 4 seasons felt more hit or miss to me than the show it would eventually become.

It’s good. I’m enjoying it, but I’m not finding it really as much of a comedy.
To me it feels a little more downbeat.

Jessica Jones season 3’s writing was so painfully bad. I couldn’t get thru the first episode. I tried watching the second and gave up after five minutes.
