I enjoyed the first season of Severance but was very disappointed to discover it wasn't just one and done.
There's no way they don't completely Lost it from the point the first season ended

By Laboured Go To PostProduction of S2 doesn't sound like it's been going smoothly.Well there was quite a major strike
By Laboured Go To PostIt was to do with the show's two major runners / creators really quite heavily falling out.Wasn't that directly debunked publicly by Ben Stiller?

I'm sitting here thinking if I wanted good spy content I'd just rewatch winter soldier
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostFour episodes into severance and it is shit.
Gonna have to drop.
That was a very enjoyable post by Nigel and I was just waiting for someone to be banjaxed by it. Not as good as his NHS one though.
I'll let Severance slide because it is a difficult show to get into (eventhough I think it's great and is a classic hockey stick rampup of goodness towards the end)
but Winter Soldier as a spy movie? But not only that, a GOOD spy movie?
Jesus fuck kidjr, read a goddamn book or watch a le Carre adaptation ffs

There are probably better spy films I could have used I'll concede... Entrapment? Such a classic.
I just think this one of those tinker tailor soldier spy things where everyone pretends it's tense and intriguing but it's completely jank.
Winter Soldier is a deconstruction of America post 9/11, comic book movies, and spy movies.

By Kidjr Go To PostI don't get how you watch winter soldier and don't think it's spy/thriller adjacentHave you tried watching XxX? Really great spy thriller!
I should pick up reading again tho. Stopped reading adaptions because the books are always better and ended ruining a shit tonne of films for me - godfather, twilight, girl with the dragon tatoo.. was gunna say Lord of the rings but the film was actually better but you get the gist.

Relio pls, that's not even trying to be intriguing or mysterious. Don't think I've heard louder audible gasp than fury coming back in winter soldier, that's how you do shock and intrigue.
* its some dark sultry scene... probably some 1940s prison, shot with possibly the worst camera and lighting youve ever seen*
*Gary Oldman walks to someone theyre interrogating, stares for 6 hours, does his confused derranging mumbling, walks off.... *

OMG THE VISUAL CUES

Maybe the worst post I’ve ever read.

Embellishment sure but I honestly believe that

I also think TTSS is one of the best films of all time

If I dress a turtle in lingerie, I don’t want to fuck it, brother.

Watched it twice, its not the worst film ever but how it gets close that for you is beyond me but each to there own lol.

Looool this was good.
I don't know you all have such a rejection to the idea of winter soldier being spy adjacent. No Gary Oldman pls but list some good spy films and I'm.sure you'll see prarells.
What's that film with Robert Redford I think, they are basically at a table whole film, I think it might be spy game. Basically winter soldier with the supes imo or certainly gave me the same emotions.
Winter Soldier IS spy adjacent, in that there are spies in it. Doesn’t make it a spy movie.
A film with Robert Redford and a table does not make Winter Soldier a spy movie. I still remember the last 40 minutes of that being about the two lads jumping about as a giant thing explodes in the sky.

By domino Go To PostReacher folding dudes up after repeatedly telling them "you dont want these problems" never gets oldI was skeptical of the team dynamic, but this season has been just as good as the first. Reacher throwing a bomb in a house and then following it up with a shootout is sensational.
Reacher is good, much better than Jack Ryan. It has that old school network TV feel to it where you know the hero is never in danger but it's fine cause he's a living terminator.
I was thinking while watching the S2E1, if they ever decide to just start fresh with another Terminator film. Alan Ritchson would be a good pick.
I get it, Terminator 1 & 2 we’re basically perfect. T2 was the perfect sequel. They should’ve left it there. They didn’t though, and we’ve had shit ever since and probably more shit in the future.
But may as well cast an actor that would suit the terminator’s role in appearance and mannerism.

Dark Fate was probably the best one since T2 (low bar) and it flopped. I think they are done with that franchise for a while, thankfully.
I have watched Reacher S2E3 and I appreciate the attention to detail after the previously mentioned spoiler: they just had a shootout in a recently pipebombed house. There is now a footchase involving Reacher where he's Kool-aid manning fences. He's a big dude and he's running hard. That's not easy, so he gets a bit winded and has to find a different way to slow down the car. He does and that's good shit.
Why do you guys like Severance so much?
It feels really slow and the characters are not really interesting. Hints at a conspiracy, but everything feels awkward.
Is the payoff worth sticking with it? Or if I don’t like it after episode 4 i will never like it?

It's a very well received show, so i don't think there's much point in explaining why people like it. I'm sure there's plenty of articles that will really break it down. In a nutshell though, it's very well acted, directed, it has an intriguing premise, a great cast, great music, great production design and a great finale
