Lyriqz ✪ Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just watched the 4th episode. The trippy part + Perfume Genius defintely earned the show some extra points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantasmagore Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I tried watching this show a few days ago but couldn't get past the point where the protagonist was meeting his therapist. His rant came off as strange, especially with the accompanying visuals making it seem kind of preachy. His delivery was rather awkward. I guess I should give this another shot.

Just shitty performance there though in my opinion. If you look above, you see I had a bit of a negative opinion too, at first. Towards the protagonist, anyways. Now I really enjoy it. I'll leave this in spoiler tags in case you / some wanna find out yourself / themselves, but he has an antisocial disorder . That's one of the first things, Naka. Right at the start, in that Diner.

Yeah, the acclaim this show is getting made me reconsider it. I have actually noticed similar problems in other shows as well. I recently rewatched the first GoT episode and found the delivery of the dialogue awkward in certain parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I keep forgetting that. But yeah, I can see what you both have against Malek's delivery...it was ever so slightly off-putting in the pilot, I was thinking, "Why does he sound so rigid, like this is the first time he's acted?" After realising that, though, I then thought, "Oh, then he acted well as somebody with this type of condition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Nah, honestly, I like his style of acting the social problem out. The dialogue was just off-putting. This whole "Uhh, we are all sedated, *Censored* society" shit was too... ugh, just cringey. Exactly the type of shit someone who thinks they are insanely thoughtful and edgy would say, when they really just lame. Like, it's not that it's untrue what he says, it's just presented in an incredibly lame way. #Im14andthisisdeep Social disorders don't necessarily make you like that and I think the content could have been presented much better. But, luckily, it has scaled back to a point where I find it believable as well as non-cringey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Yo, I didn't think it fit the scene at all, but hearing fka in this show... damn, I'm one happy camper. show gets better and better over time for me. and their music choice is *censored*ing awesome.

Royal Nakamura Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 It's only going to get better, Lyriqz. There is some beautiful music in the last few episodes, one of the songs being from one of your faves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyriqz ✪ Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Both EXACTLY what I meant. Couldn't stop re-playing the Pixies cover. Haha, yeah, that was beautiful. It's funny they chose that song to end an episode that probably caused some people to try and trash it by yelling "FIGHT CLUB RIP OFF HURRDURR!"

Generations Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 So ready for this shit. I bet that the scene that required the finale to be pulled last week isn't even close to being similar to the reporter shooting, but whatever...it was the right thing to do, I guess.

Lyriqz ✪ Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 The finale was kind of... I guess kind of different than what I was expecting, just on a feel level. But I really, really liked it. The shooting scene wasn't really comparable IMO, but I understand why they postponed it regardless. What I REALLY liked above all else: 1. Angela's character development. I'm digging her a lot more than I initially realized, but she's constantly growing throughout the series. I think she could become quite the character in the future. 2. The ending. White Rose being basically the biggest hacker there is + part of that pseudo-illuminati society is pretty sick.

Generations Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah, the ending didn't really blow me away, but it left a lot of questions unanswered, which is exactly what they want. That last bit with the door was like "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!". One of the most irritating cliff hangers I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you mean by the second bit, in relation to the ending? Also, the song that played during the ending was beautiful. I'm assuming it's Sound and Color by Alabama Shakes from the refrain.

ThreeG Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Haven't watched the whole season yet but I'm close to finishing. I'm kinda late to it cus I don't believe it was on in the UK so had to wait for Amazon Prime to update. But holy shit this show is one of the best shows since Breaking Bad and Dexter, no? Or am I the only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't think he ever answered The scene after the credits of the E Corp party. The conversation between the chairman guy and the person who was definitely White Rose. Same actor just not posing as a woman. And the watch beeps were a dead giveaway. He's not only the leader of the Dark Army he also is apparently in the higher ranks of E Corp, or at least affiliated with high up members.
