Da Vinci’s Demons really feels like it takes place in a TTRPG or MU.

I don’t care about The Last Of Us. The games or the show. It’s not my thing.
However, a reaction channel I really like is doing the series, and I just got to the Nick Offerman episode. I wept. Ugly-cried. May have actually made myself sick from crying, but that’s probably a coincidence. And I would do it all over again because despite being wrung out like a kitchen sponge, I am in awe of the craft on display. As someone who only knows Nick Offerman’s comedy chops, I am awed by three tiny but profound pieces of acting that I had no idea were in him: the “huh?”, the giggle, and the face he makes on the couch. This man should have Golden Globes. Oscars. Probably a Nobel of some kind.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go drink something fortified with electrolytes.

@GF If you want some more Offerman dramatic roles, check out Devs.

That human is a treasure.

the giggle
That is my favorite part of his “acting”, or him as a human. I cannot express with words the joy that giggle brings me.

An author I follow on Fbook said it was one of the best episodes of television they’d ever seen, and I usually take that kind of talk with a big grain of salt even from people I admire but like…wow.
Even if you’re not a fan of zombie/survival genre stuff, the third episode is absolutely wonderful. A really powerful and very unexpected romance that yeah, will leave you ugly-crying by the end.

@junipersky lol I’m just finally watching this show from beginning to end (I missed the last couple of seasons)!
-
My last post is just going to be a series of “wait WHAT”
And it continues as two characters I cried over are back but it is all WRONG still!!!
-
Boardwalk Empire never finished it I have now! So good!
-
Money Heist
I watch it in Spanish with subtitles on because I enjoy hearing them swear with such spicy musicality. However, I am also now obsessed with this English language version of the main song its plot features.
-
@Kestrel I thought the first season was fantastic.
-
The spouse and I have gotten hooked on Attack on Titan. I’m having a really hard time not spoilering myself on the mysteries of the show. Husbando and I can sometimes spot the plot twists as they come up but we honestly didn’t catch what happened to the lead’s dad until about ten minutes before the reveal. Even though we should have cause they planted the seeds of it about ten episodes back.

I have earned the “Binged” achievement for this already.

The third season of The Mandalorian is seriously good.
I love what they did with the show right when I’d expect it to dip in quality or rehash the same themes - but no. It’s stepped up the world-building big time, and constructed a really engaging outlook on what the galaxy ruled by a fledgling New Federation - as well as its parts which are not - are like, and what they feel like.
It’s also done a great job balancing the politics and long-view of where things are going with the shorter adventures those shellheads get to have while they’re at it. Really good stuff.
Also, the guest stars!
-
The Swarm on Amazon Prime. Was just amazing, so perfect. Favorite show in a long time.
-
Most recent Mandalorian was…woof, pretty rough. I am shocked by this show’s politics.
You’ve got the little droid-building aliens who MUST all know this one alien dude on a completely different planet, and who only respond if you speak to them in a certain slow simple way, and all get offended by the same thing.
Your droids are just simple cute beings who adore their masters and will gratefully perform menial tasks and labor because they’re just so grateful, and any deviance or rebellion from what is objectively a slave’s existence is because a rogue programmer forced them into it.
Then in the end they pull some Elder Wand fuckery on us to slip out of arguably one of the only interesting conflicts in the show.
Blech. This one left a bad taste in my mouth.
