pretty nifty and somewhat unheralded scifi time travel-y show

I had to stop watching after two episodes because Crazy Jane was annoying me. And they went in a goat's asshole like that was fucking supposed to make me laugh. People keep telling me to try harder but I'm fucking done with watching a show that sucks, in general. I'm taking a stand.
On that note I thought Stranger Things season 3 is pretty good so far

Umbrella Academy 8/10. Like a mix of Doom Patrol and Watchmen. The music video fight scenes are questionable, though. With too much “ you didn’t expect this song” choices like the They Might Be Giants cover song that also appeared in that episode of Tiny Toon Adventures.

Did you see the Lars von Trier show it's based on? Is it anywhere near that good?

hahaha yeah I'm midway through and it recovered from ep1 for sure - seems solidly between S1 & S2 but I'm sure they'll find a way to piss me off again
i hate that netflix used the cronenberg monster as the main thumbnail for the show

I thought it was fantastic, but I also watched it in the 90s and haven't seen it since, so, you know. What I remember more than anything is how it could go from hilarious to terrifying in a matter of seconds and somehow made that work.

didnt know anything good about this going in but karl urban, didnt know it was garth ennis until i watched the credits closer trying to figure out why it was good. loved it. homelander is fucking terrifying. lotta great lesser known or unfamiliar faces to me too, especially homelander. there's somewhat exhausting edginess at times that gets a little old and tonally works better on a comic page but on the whole its really great. it a wholesale shame that preacher didnt start out on amazon in retrospect..
