Pretty good show so far but it's doing that thing where the kids are the extremely unrealistic kind of smart kids. Like the kind of 10 year olds that would get every reference in The French Dispatch and simply do not have real-life counterparts lol.

Edit - wow there's like 10 people on reddit who really hate David Cross for some reason lol. And they all have that really good justification 'Ugh I hate that guy'.

I didn't know they renewed it. Cool.

I don't disagree with the person below who got a lot of votes criticizing the leads but I'll still f'n watch it lol. Outside of TLOU there ain't much else going on these last 2 months :)

Credit to Amazon I guess for sticking with their properties. Can you guys buy Dark Crystal from Netflix like you bought Expanse from SyFy now?

Might actually be that. Someone more jovial could have really improved that movie. Nothing about Mel Gibson says 'Santa' other than not exactly being enshrined in Jewish-American hearts and minds. And his beard is more white than not-white at this point.

Russel Crowe could have done that movie. I'm not sure there's a better example of a jolly actor with a twinkle in his eye more than him at this point.

Same shit as >!13 Ghosts, where there's some vague runic magic going on that creates barriers!<

It's a plot device you see from time to time but it's not at all anything we haven't seen before.

The big, common example is >!the powder circle in witchcraft circles that provides protection and should never be broken!<

If you're into Horror, you can probably name an example of that being done in a TV show within this last week. Spoiler: >!First episode of Cabinet of Curiosities!<

Simpsons. Might have been like 2002 and I did the Army thing and we just grew apart. Have seen very sparing amounts of it since.

But I was watching that show in my jammies when it was still skits on the Tracey Ullman show so that's still like 15 years of undivided attention.

I'm still on the South Park and Family Guy wagons but I have tapped out on Simpsons.

I got to the end of the Saviors and tapped out with the Alpha stuff. That seemed like as much juice as that formula was going to really squeeze out.

Fear basically turned into the same show after a short bit and when they got rid of Dillane I just slowly started to bleed interest.

Honestly I think Kirkman is just fresh out of ideas and has been for a while in regards to this, and I'm not sure any spinoff or new coat of paint is going to bring it back.

If we ever get another zombie craze like that it's going to have to be a new creative mind behind it.
