Celan Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 @The Good Doctor It wasn't the usual for Durance, but what can I say. My friends were in love with Eder. Fat load of good that did them. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

I just re-watch the same five shows, just like I do with video games. It's a sad existence. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

Durance is probably the one who gets the most, so it fits. Humor aside, he might actually be my favorite character in the game. Extremely well written and enjoyable in his lunacy. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celan Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I've been re-watching Mindhunter and mourning that show's demise. The creator "wanted to go on to other projects." He made fucking Umbrella Academy for Netflix, WTF. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

Plus, you don’t sell views. A million people watching your show doesn’t mean anything if they were already subscribed. They spend a lot of money on these productions, but they don’t bring in enough new subscribers to make the costs worthwhile. It’s not a very profitable format. Maybe back when there were only one or two options, but now basically everyone is losing money. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere is great and the characters are really well written. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 And everyone has shit on Netflix (rightfully so), but after a couple of months of there downturn (for the first time in the company's history) they managed to go back to constant growth and stabilize themselves (apparently the highest in a year).

BigBossBalrog Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Watch it blind; its quite a bit more horror focused the Hill House and is very imaginative in it's tropes (don't want to spoil much) 6 minutes ago, The Good Doctor said: Netflix.

Kinda like Google did with search engines (ignoring that the gubmint helped make that happen). * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude even went out of his way to fight in Poland because the break from WW1 to WW2 was just taking too damn long. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
