"Emily in Paris season 3" has to be the most terrifying string of words I have heard all year

Then you've had a really good year and you're humble bragging lol
It's still better than season one 🤣
Renewed for season 4 :./'

"They didn't have a story to tell and hoped nostalgia would save it"
This has basically been Disney's business model since 2019.
2019?
Where have you been in the decades before that year?
What planet, I mean.
xD
@@Kijinn when I wrote the comment I was thinking about the MCU and how it's been shit since Endgame. Most of the MCU in the last 2 years has had some element of nostalgia to get people to watch. But you're right Disney has been doing this nostalgia bait for waaay longer with other franchises xD
More like since the success of Alice in Wonderland (2010)
@@normadgarmez7026 nah
@@yui_mikai the MCU is using legacy characters from the comics, which is not the same as Star Wars constantly bringing back old actors from the OT/prequels. No Way Home is probably the best example of utilising nostalgia and still having an actual story and proper characters.
And how do stuff like She-Hulk and Moon Knight try to nostalgia bait you anyway?
It's insane to me that they keep greenlighting video game adaptations to people who hate video games
At this point it seems that they are solely giving any IP with any sort of built in fanbase to only people who hate what they are adapting.
I assume the people who adapted The Witcher were mad they had to adapt the book and not the games... seeing as the games are a significantly better version of the world and characters than the book >__>
Quite rare when an adaptation of a book does a better job than the author themselves, though not unheard of.
@@planescaped I think the makers of the The Witcher TV series hated both the book and the game, and everybody who liked either.
@@planescapednah they just hated all the lore
Whats wild about Inventing Anna is how at the end, the show makes the argument that Anna wouldn't be prosecuted if she was a man because "men get away with so much worse" and that Anna was somehow a GIRL BOSS for scamming her close friends. The entire Inventing Anna subreddit just tears the show apart, it's great.
Exactly! After wasting time watching that whole mess, the show acts as if we should be rooting for this woman…like whaaaaaat?
she is a girl boss, feeling bad for rich ppl getting scammed such boot licker behavior. (the show is still bad doe)
@@misty9964 don't really care about the rich people, mostly the friend she scammed a good $60k from
She screwed over and lied to multiple women who trusted her and thought they were friends. This situation isn't about sexism. Scammers who intentionally hurt people are dirtbags.
yeah stats say otherwise
FYI for Pam and Tommy, it was made AGAINST Pamela’s explicit wishes, and falsely portrays Tommy, leaving out a lot of his abuse towards her. Her documentary coming out will be her story, told with her involvement.
between her, marilyn monroe, and britney spears, hollywood loves to glorify white femininity while simultaneously destroying them psychologically and reducing them to one dimensional sexual tropes. Hollywood is awful to all women, dont get me wrong. But women of color do not exist on the same "icon" pedestal.
That makes sense why Pamela was reluctant to have her dirty laundry aired in public like this, I genuinely feel bad for her.
I watched the show before learning that, but also...
That show was absolutely great, excellent commentary on double standards, victim blaming, and overall patriarchy of the system. I couldn't wait until the next episode.
I tried watching it but I absolutely didn't like it. After maybe 3 or 4 episodes the characters still felt like caricatures of themselves, and all the over the top nudity and sex scenes weren't necessary for the story but just there for us to ogle. Also everything about the guy who stole the tape bored me to tears.
Also the fact that Pamela Anderson herself wasn't involved and didn't give permission made me dislike it even more and the whole thing now feels gross and voyeuristic.
I stopped watching after I found out Pam was against it and Lily James was misled into thinking Pam was fine with it.
Props to Netflix for killing Blockbuster for the second time now
Love the joke
Can we also talk about how Anna's victims felt deeply disrespected by the show and its many inaccuracies that depicted Anna to be more sympathetic than she actually was?
They went after some of the victims! It was God awful. Weirdly sympathetic towards Anna as well
@@HGR555 Not to mention how victims were harassed by fans over the inaccuracies and incorrect timeline
I mean when I think her name was Rachel posted that article about what the show did to her or did those interviews. She actually seemed 100 percent like how she was painted on the show. So my guess is a lot of rich idiots didn’t like looking stupid.
@@michaelthoel6199 Literally wasn't like that at all

It's like Melissa McCarthy is picking movies rejected by Adam Sandler, after they've been rejected by Kevin James.
who is worse?
Hate to admit that some parts of Thunder Force, I enjoyed. It's stuff you can leave on while you do chores.
After they've been rejected by Rob Schneider
@@johannkuster79all of them
@@johannkuster79 definitely Melissa McCarthy because Adam Sandler at least had great acting from Uncut gems
People not caring about the source material they adapt seems to be a disease in Hollywood these days
They’re so desperate to remake and spin off shit so they don’t have to do anything original, but then they don’t even have the decency to honor the content their mooching off of.
Sorry - aspiring writer and screenwriter here. The lack of originality and respect in the media I consume these days just kills me.
It has always been like that. I've seen some trash from every decade. It's just nowadays there is internet and we have access to trash as well.
@@miss_conduct. I think these days, it's a goal and not a creative decision
that and race swapping is the most annoying shit there is.
It’s honestly insane how Disney released both Book of Boba Fett and Andor in the same year and yet both shows couldn’t be more different quality-wise💀💀💀
The philosophy behind the making of the two shows were polar opposite. One is pure commercial cynicism wrapped in nostalgia bait and smeared with the residue success of a previous better show. The other wanted to deliver a powerful political message in a unique setting that offered limitless opportunities.
Are you sure that happened? Because one minute it was the only thing people were talking about, and the next it was just *poof* and gone.
It's almost physically abusive 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will Disney learn their lesson?
@ No, because people still watch their films and series
The thing that bugs me about the Obi-Wan series is that they did have a good story to tell, but they tried to do too much. It should've been a smaller-scale, character-driven, deep dive into Obi-Wan's guilt and grief.
For me there was no real suspense there, because all the main characters had plot armor and all the side characters were somewhat uninteresting or even badly written, like that imperial defector, who is guilt tripping over capturing Jedi but has no problems shooting other soldiers she served with in the back. The whole show felt kind of pointless for me. Book of Boba Fett wasn't terrible, though. I mean, it wasn't really on the same levels as Mandalorian, but it also wasn't a bad show.
But they tried to go big and it kind of ended up breaking Canon.
The strangest thing about The Time Traveler's Wife is that it's Steven Moffat's passion project... how do you adapt your favourite novel and make it so lifeless?
"Bad shows that waste promising concepts" should receive a list of their own. I WANTED to like "Time Traveller's Wife", since I like Rose Leslie and Theo James, but knew that they didn't even WAIT to axe it.
That's still waiting on my watchlist. It'll probably stay there til one day when I'm not able to leave my bed (that happens sometimes. My legs just decide that I'm not gonna stand upright without falling over). I'm not looking forward to that but at least I'll have a show to rant about 😂
@@rahbeeuh Haha, same here. I just watch notoriously awful shows when I'm on bedrest, or can't leave the house, just out of morbid curiosity.
Another entry "next exit" movie
There's a movie based on the same book. I never watched it, so I have no idea if it's any good, but it should at least be better than the show.
@@runningcommentary2125 Movie is more romanticised. The show is closer to the book which is very cynical and much darker than the movie. Like I'm not sure you can call the book a romance. The movie is far sweeter and is definitely a tragic romance.
Euphoria is based on an Israeli TV show with the same name which aired in 2012. The original show only had 1 season. And that's how they wrote the show. The Israeli version closed all the storylines by the end of season 1. the Israeli creator wrote the show to be 1 season long only. which can explain why, from season 2 onwards it got worse. because the American writers had to come up with their own original storylines.
@@rloyBB so its like SKINS or Utopia ... genius UK concept butchered by 'Muricans.
@@rloyBBWell damn. All confidence I had in the series getting out of its season 2 slump just evaporated.
@@TheMedicatedArtist maybe they could fix it..
I thought it was based on the directors experience on being a drug addict
@@wandasupremacy4068 maybe he added that to the show. I haven't watched the American version. Only the Israeli one. But the characters, most of the storylines and the show's title is based on an Israeli show which aired in 2012. It was a big deal back then when HBO bought the rights to produce their own version. So it's a known fact here.

Thank you
since you hated blockbuster i actually think you would really like superstore. it’s a comedy show with a similar premise but with solid good writing lol. it’s not the best show ever but still pretty underrated for its comedy material. (also has the same writers as the office so what could go wrong)
I thought the same thing when he was talking about blockbuster!!! Superstore is so fun
Superstore did a good job with representation of unions and corporate fight with it. Big topic imho
It feels like the whole Halo show drama was twenty years ago
Euphoria s2 is a perfect example of setting up decent storylines but completely dropping the ball because the writer thinks they’re being deep
Westworld also had the same problem this year and was cancelled even though the first two seasons were soo good. I didn't even see any hype for the fourth season it just flew under the radar and ended up being underwhelming :(
It was so disappointing. The first season set up the PERFECT base for character development in the next season. But nope
@@beelzemobabbityyup. Euphorias second season was pretty underwhelming and they destroyed several characters
good thing it's ending cause both season 2 and the idol completely destroyed any credibility Levenson had
@@okrasamwich i absolutely love Westworld so much but yeah i agree they just made things way over complicated and kinda dropped the ball on several plot points
Thank you for mentioning First kill! I was so disappointed and mad when this show became just unwatchable 😭 Everybody was like wow what a fun guilty pleasure but I was genuinely MAD at it. I was so angry that they wasted such a fun and original concept I thought became a 2013 CZcams critic. Me and my friend were screaming, crying, throwing up from disappointment for weeks and I didn't see anyone saying how awful it was.
1000% this. What a brilliant premise that turned out to be absolutely nothing. 😭
Netflix didn't give that show any chance tbh. They set it up to fail from giving them a low budget to releasing it around the same time as Stranger Things. But the fans were dedicated and that's why it did such great numbers at the end.
@@pxxv5370 That's the thing - the budget didn't seem great, but plenty of shows have been made on low budgets and made up for it in other ways, and none of it was really up to par? The acting, the production design, the writing....
I started skipping ahead just for scenes of the two girls together, since that's what I was there for, but they were comparatively few and far between the main vampire vs hunter plotline and even the girls' chemistry was... not that great. And then the season ends with them breaking up and Cal threatening to kill her?! It was so dissatisfying.
Just sad all around.
@@pxxv5370 the writers could've at least tried. Their budget or lack of attention weren't the problem, it was that the plot stopped making sense halfway through
Agreed!! Such a great concept, and I was so excited to see a new vampire show, but it was just so bad. The acting, writing, everything was just awful.
Sam did a GoT: he based the US version of Euphoria off the Israeli version and when he ran out of source material, he just made up his own stuff without the benefit of a writers' room and went out of his way to antagonize the actors (Barbie).
Fate: The Winx Saga constantly made me wanna gouge my eyes out. From the cast/show runner disrespecting the source material, to the mediocre at best story, to the whitewashing and questionable story beats, it's possibly the best example of what not to do when adapting a cartoon and making it "realistic" (I don't know what's realistic about fairies and magic, but whatever).
The only positive I can point out is that it's funny in a sad kind of way seeing people petitioning to bring back the show really believe Netflix will listen.
Excuse me, they made what fucking show
@@FelisImpurrator a live action “adaptation” of Winx Club. Yes, _that_ Winx Club. That colorful, fashion oriented, Y2K goodness Winx Club. And they made it a drab dark academia wannabe series
@@thapelosishi [eternally screaming]
Every fucking time. I keep saying it. The reason adaptations suck is because they don't respect the source material on its own merits. Either they think they're improving something just by remaking it in a supposedly "superior" medium (hi, Disney), or they think the source material isn't good enough to be interesting by itself. Incredibly stupid stuff.
I cheered out loud when I heard it got cancelled
@@mgannmcfernie1853 I just giggled but then I felt bad because I wanna make a show one day and I’m superstitious so I’m afraid of karma💀
Sometimes I think Melissa McCarthy's husband is low-key trying to kill her career lol. It's actually sad that she's so willing to star in his shit. Did she just forget what a funny movie looks like after Bridesmaids and Spy?
I don't know what Friendly Space Ninja is talking about. God's Favorite Idiot was a great show.
@@jeremyusreevu237 well at least someone enjoyed it
I admire how much she clearly loves him. She HAS to know that his writing hasn't hit not once. At this point their films together just feel like passion projects.
@@Souperman99 If she does know I feel that would be worse. How could you let your man continue to make things to embarrass you both and destroy your careers 😵💫
@@NurseHarley299 some things just aren't worth the argument. 🤣
Poor Melissa McCarthy is shocking us so much. I didn't know Life of the Party was so bad, I gave the DVD to my mom for Christmas like last year and I thought we could have a nice mother-daughter time with Suki from Gilmore Girls of which we have fond memories. But the way Melissa was willing to humiliate herself so much for the jokes that weren't funny but just hurtful was beyond me. I thought it was going to be a movie about a Mom who had to learn how to let go off her college daughter, but I don't even remember how it ended now
Euphoria season 2 was such a disappointment. Usually high school shows don't feel relatable to me but when I watched the first season in my last year of highschool I was in love because of Rue. It's so rare to see good representation of addicts especially young one and I was really deep in addiction in high school. Her character was just sooo relatable and it made me feel seen ! The special episode of Rue made me cry ! Season 1 was not perfect but when season 2 came I was so sad at how it just murdered itself.
Leighton Meester deserves so much better than a mediocre HIMYM spin off! She was so good on GG, it’s baffling she hasn’t had a solid role since then.
My thoughts exactly, kinda the same with her husband Adam Brody, at least he has been in a couple of decent movies.
Leighton Meester and Pen Badgely need to come up with a rom com soon
@@alexanderamaya6977 i just watched ready or not and he was so good in it!!
The Book of Boba Fett left me with an impression that writers realized that they ended up writing the most basic crime drama, so they decided to just make The Mandalorian Season 2.5
this is what i came away with too. i legit think they were like "fuck, i don't wanna write this. bring back din"
If the Book of Boba Fett is a crime drama I am Queen Elizabeth
@@loiracitr Well, as one wise Jedi once said, all women are queens.
The Mandalorian and The book of Boba Fett should have just been one damn show. First, they hired an actor to play the Mandalorian who didn't like wearing a helmet even though that's the entire point of the character, fail number one. Then they decided to make a show about Mandalorians yet not have the most famous Mandalorian in it - why? Then they made a show about Boba Fett, but instead it was his backstory not at all being a bounty hunter, which is the point of his entire character in Star Wars. I think we can all agree: the best things to come out of both shows are Grogu, Ahsoka, and Fennec Shand - NONE whom are Mandalorians or the main characters of the shows lmao!!!
@@avtechnick5845 but they breathe so they are thots.
Everything you said about Halo was accurate. It constantly contradicts essential parts of the Halo story and lore, and it is precisely because the showrunners didn't play the games. Just like how Microsoft specifically hired people who disliked the original Halo trilogy to continue the franchise after Bungie sold it, the showrunners bragged about how they specifically didn't play the games. As a lifelong fan of Halo, it just hurts. Not even specifically the show, just in general.
My favorite part of the Halo show was when Master Cheeks threw his assault rifle on the ground and for some reason the visual effects team thought it would be a great idea to transition from a real prop to a CGI rifle as soon as it hit the ground, instead of just, y'know, throwing an actual prop on the ground. These are the kind of things the showrunners were concerned about. Instead of just writing a good story. It's quite telling.
Also you missed out on Master Cheeks losing his V-card! Even though in canon his meat cannot be beat due to all the bio-enhancements he's been subjected to over the years.
Jeez, I used to be really into all the halo lore and stuff and while I haven't heard much about the show everything just sounds so bad lmao. I think I need to see a review by a fan, because man that sounds wrong. Any depiction of the chief that tries to humanize him but doesn't depict him like the emotionally stunted cocktail of chemistry child soldier he is is not doing it right lol. And it really don't sound like this show does that
But also, why does there need to bee a sex scene in Halo? Like, because it's got a TV-MA, so they might as well and have nothing else of substance to offer? Because that's the only reason I can think of.
man can literally, literally (canonically) PUNCH TANKS, they can lift about 20 tons without armor and almost 120 with armor, so a punch from the guy its like an hydraulic press.
It piss me off how they gutted something like this, with literal dozens of books already written about it (some best sellers who are legit really good books)
just take one of the books and adapt it, the dialogue its even written, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Blockbuster was probably the biggest surprise for me. It was such a disappointment with the quality of actors on that cast. I tapped out after episode 6
i was so excited when i heard melissa fumero was in it but i legit couldn't even finish the first episode
Pretty sure it's been cancelled now anyway
In my opinion, it would have been more interesting had it actually taken place in the 80's, 90's and 00's, during the heyday of Blockbuster, and catered towards nostalgia.
Can't really grasp how that would be surprising, though.
The quality of the actors is completely meaningless when there's no competent director and film crew. And even a good director is helpless when studio executives intervene and change core elements of that person's vision.
After all, "vision" (in that context) means having a clear idea of what the filmed material will look like, when it's done (edited, etc.) and whether it can then be widely considered having a worthwhile quality.
That's an ability that a lot of directors lack nowadays. And it's probably the hardest part of creating something that takes a long time and involves so many different people.
I'd say the Show's biggest problem is that it feels "being a show about Blockbuster made by Netflix" is somehow qualifying as a story!
Inventing Anna getting a bunch of nominations is everything wrong with award shows.
Yep but I'm not surprised
@@angelaholmes8888 me neither, it's not the first time and won't be the last time a bad show/movie gets noms.
Why do people still care about award shows?
Is it worse than Emily in Paris' award nominations?
Omg what noms? The only one I'll accept is for Julia Garner. Everything else is straight up garbage about that show.
We need to save Melissa from herself (and her husband) 😭 She's such an amazing comedic and dramatic actress when she's given the right script, it's such a shame what projects she's been working on
Tbh it's really scary to think that younger generations treat real life crimes and mental health problems as a "funny" plot even normalizing them as if we didn't have those same problems in our generation
I agree
props to Dylan watching the worst shows of 2022 on our behalf so we don't have to accidentally do it ourselves😔
Unoriginal
Thank you for having Euphoria in this list! The amount of times I've seen people put that show in the Best TV shows list for 2022 is baffling, especially given how much it crapped on Season 1 and how it was so narratively clumsy.
Meh
Yes I agree! The bad writing that no one else seems to notice 😅
Thank you seaosn 1 in my opinion was so good I loved all the character arcs whereas season 2 was a mess
For real. The first season actually had some really great moments writing wise but this season just felt messy.
It was stupid and annoying but entertaining imo. I stayed watching because the show had moments of greatness then it’s shit a second later it also had strong Zendaya acting but overall overrated s2 mid at best.
Theory: Melissa Mccarthy movies, and now shows, are like that business that keeps open even though you see NO ONE going in. Maybe not for movie laundering, but for sure for tax right offs. Companies greenlight these projects because they know they will flop and can then put them as losses for the year. Or I mean, as laundering, wouldn't put it past some of those companies
It's sad seeing how many of these are by Netflix. They're greenlighting a lot, failing to advertise them, and not really giving them a chance to improve. I've only heard of Blockbuster from this video, but I think a sitcom would be the easiest to give a second chance to, because it doesn't need to follow a storyline and could get better next season.
With both good and bad shows getting immediately cancelled, it feels like every Netflix project is a long pilot constantly under fear of getting killed if it doesn't rake in big numbers and big money. Anything less than widespread success is a failure.
Anyone else noticed the clips he used for the intro of the “best shows of 2022” are clips of the worst shows and vice versa
His mind!
I was completely destroyed by Witcher blood origin. I now bow to Netflix for making something like Witcher bad. I never thought it was possible, but Netflix never disappoint
Hey look at what they did to Cowboy Beebop. When you have infinite money and is desperate for treasure, you will attract the worst kind of conman to sell you worthless trinkets.
it was SO bad and i have low low standards
@@LizardSpork Cowboy Bebop wasn't THAT bad. I liked John Cho. He was having a come back
@@suzygirl1843 It was boring and pointless
@@balabanasireti Not for the executes.
Fun fact: the reason the halo show was so bad was because the people making the show refused to look at the original source material was because they “didn’t want to be held back creatively”
It will forever make me laugh that people want to criticize things like the dialogue and scripts of the Kenobi show and then act like the prequels are completely fine on those same fronts. It’s honestly astonishing.
Prequels are bad movies (other than sw3). But i argue they had much going for them. The fights were amazing, the chi was actually good. And they had that early 2000 grand adventure campy vibes. And the bad guys were good.
Obi wan show was really, really, bad. Obi wan was a bi*ch, that girl inquestor was one of the worst bad guys in Star Wars, her plan was dumb, her reasoning on why she acted like that was dumb. 4 1st episodes, nothing happened, 5 was good, and a little bit of 6 was good. I really hated the writing in this show. They do some really dumb things without any reason.
"This show is the narrative equivalent of Murphy's Law" DAMN nobody can roast a show like Dylan I swear 😭
Agreed on Euphoria. Season one was pretty solid and season two is just BAD.
Precisely, maybe it's just the three year gap between seasons, but everything that was great about the first was just lost by the time of the second.
Bc the show was created for one season
Yeeeees. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered other shows (apart from Breaking Bad and Anne with an E) that stayed consistent in quality all throughout their runtime. Euphoria season 2 was one hell of a disappointment after the masterpiece that was season 1
A big part of the lapse probably came from the pandemic. Once COVID hit, Levinson made multiple, extensive rewrites. Doesn't help that he's the only writer in the room.
@@trinaq not everything. The commitment was still there. Kodak even stepped in to provide new rolls of a discontinued film format for the production.
I actually did make to the end of Inventing Anna... near the end they have everyone falling for Anna. Even some of the people that know the truth about her they're rooting for her. And it just felt like yet another show that tries to glorify a criminal.
One of the characters was put a in really bad situation that (legit) put her in danger and they frame it like she was at fault because she fell for the scam AND they even say that she benefited from it because she sold her story . Well, she had to sell her story since she almost lost her job (and that's what saved it) and since she was given a bad rap the story saved her reputation and yes, she made money. It's a human reaction to being stuck in a bad situation & financial issues... but the show framed it like SHE was the bad guy and ANNA was to be praised.
And Anna is an actual sociopath but no, Netflix thinks that's cool apparently. By the end I was really angry about it. Especially after reading about the truth. The show was praising Anna, like wtf
And yeah God's Favourite Idiot was really bad.
I think the funniest part about the failures of Resident Evil franchise is the fact that it would WAY cheaper to produce what the fans actually want. It's horror with heavy emphasis on atmosphere.
You could make a good horror movie/show with decent producers and 10% of the budged, but they keep pumping out action pieces that nobody wants.
If you enjoy the concept of The Time Travellers wife, Doctor Who's season 5 and 6 does a similar concept with a pair of characters who constantly meet in opposite directions in time (so the first time A meets B is the last time B will ever meet A) and it's done much more competently and heartfelt.
My exact thought!
It’s written by Moffat as well right?
@@paralell9934 yup. that man has not had a single original idea ever
Preach, it's obviously a better written and executed premise!
@@fruktsodaadorable I would give benefit of the doubt that it's just coincidence and he hadn't seen the book, but he previously wrote The Girl In The Fireplace as a homage to The Time Travellers Wife.
That said, I think he and the author are on good terms and see it more as mutual appreciation of each others work, not just stealing ideas. Given that Niffenger references Doctor Who in one of her later novels and of course now worked alongside Moffat in adapting her book.
How on earth did a show about a character from rouge one I never cared about end up being one of the best piece of star wars media I have seen in a very long time and have more personality, emotion and have me feel more connection to the characters THAN OBI WAN KENOBI
That’s literally my EXACT view on Andor lol.
I HATED Rogue One when I first saw it, then warmed up to it later and now view it as just kinda meh, and then Andor reignited my love for Star Wars.
and what’s worse is i’ve seen like,, no ads or ANYONE talking about it😭 when it’s the best sw media since mando season 1
okay but Rogue One is stellar
Because the people behind it cared and wanted to make a great show, rather than make a Star Wars show great.
if my credibility as a writer and storyteller were on the line, even if it wasn't something I liked I'd be doing my best to make a faithful adaptation, if only because I know what it's like to see a beloved franchise done to filth by careless corporates looking to make money off my nostalgia. I would also be pushing to get insight from people who've enjoyed the games to at least have a surface-level understanding of what something should look like before committing to an idea
I agree
THE TERMINAL LIST was a terrific series, and far better than I thought it would be. The rest of the shows were ones I never watched. Thanks for the rundown.
Yep. His choices are otherwise good, but The Terminal List was very out of place. I guess these days you can't have a slick action series that plays it totally straight? It knew what it was, I don't know why some people have an issue with that.
I'd MUCH rather have a series like this than another one with a wisecracking protagonist or a smartass sidekick or an uninteresting b-plot. Rather than being dated, I'd argue that it's basically timeless, not in a masterpiece/classic sort of way but that it doesn't bother trying to conform to what action movies/series feel like they have to do these days, and feels much better for it.
Solid performance from Crisp Rat too.
Yeah, I thought it was fine too. I'm worried about the second season, since it felt very definitive. But I'd certainly recommend season 1 to anyone who likes vengeance plots and competence porn.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this show was out of place on this list, everything is so satured with the same boring same-same action character's that you know exactly what you're getting just like all the other ones like it. This show was unique and honestly really interesting and felt like a breath of fresh air among all the same recycled plots and characters we've gotten in the past 10 years.
Totally ! This show was good on many levels, cinematography, good casting and good music. The action scenes were on point and the story felt, yeah basic and already seen, but it was still well executed
I think Melissa McCarthy is so so talented and it bums me out so bad that she hasn’t been hitting her potential. I love her in St. Vincent, really think she should do more dramadys like that
hearing you mention the witcher actually makes me want to hear more of your review on the disaster the netflix series is becoming, the book series is my favourite of all time and i was so hyped for this season two, just to see that half of the plot was completely made up by show writers who dislike the books, now that henry cavill is leaving the role of geralt as well just crushes my soul, the show had so much potential
Agreed. I love the Witcher books to pieces, and the show is just... No. I'd love to see Space Ninja do one of his patented dissections of everything wrong with it. Literally the only good thing about the Witcher Netflix show is the roasts and dissections that people have done of it, and the fact that it's gotten more people interested in the original books and the games.
@@absolfan1184 Also, the other good thing: Joey Batey gets to sing
@@Nixahma True. I can't deny that I enjoy his albums that he's produced outside of The Witcher. I think Inkpot Gods has to be my personal favorite of the bunch.
@@absolfan1184 i LOVE The Calling so much it's my favorite song of theirs
@@absolfan1184 god I LOVE inkpot gods and battle cries, my absolute favourite songs
That frustration you felt for the Resident Evil show is the same I felt toward every live action adaptation of the Witcher. I love the books, the third game is one of my favorite games period, and watching these people sneer at the “improvements” they’re writing has never ceased to annoy me. It’s just sad. At this point, you could tell me you’re adapting the books word for word and got Henry Cavill back but I won’t give them another chance.
I whole heartedly agree with every one of your choices. Still boggles the mind that PLL:OS and Gossip Girl got season 2. I still dread what Roberto has in store for True Blood. I haven't seen a Melissa McCarthy anything since Spy. I tried but the team up movies with her husband actually hurts my brain.
Anna Sorkin's real story is way more interesting than the story they told in Inventing Anna.
100%
I read that whole article when it first came out, so I knew I'd watch the show - if not for the actress I don't think it wouldve been a hit
Have I watched any of these shows? No
Have I heard of any of these shows? Also no
Will I watch a 30 min video of FSN ranting about them? Absolutely yes I will
I agree with you about the nosedive Euphoria took in season 2, but damn, most of it was hella entertaining 😂
I agree, only good things about Euphoria season 2 were the production value and the performances. I’ve never felt my struggle with addiction and mental illness be better represented in some of the performances the but the writing, especially the situations they end up in, truly baffle me.
What's kinda funny is that #3 and #4 on this list are both shows that I watched and went "This is just a generic show that they slapped a famous IP's name onto"
I am still 100% convinced that the halo show was not actually a halo show but a generic original sci-fi script that some executive saw and thought would do really well if they slapped a recognizable name like halo onto it. So many of the baffling choices it makes make so much more sense if you view it through that lens.
That makes even more sense for the Resident Evil show. At least Halo made it LOOK something like the games, I'm 100% sure if you made that exact zombie apocalypse show without the RE license, Capcom wouldn't even have grounds to sue you for copyright infringement. It's THAT generic.
@@ashb7 Take out the lickers and change Umbrella, Raccoon City, and Wesker's name and it'd be completely unrecognizable. You probably wouldnt even have to change Evelyn's surname cuz Marcus is generic enough.
The fact that most of these shows are franchise shows says a lot, people are really just relying on brand recognition to carry their shows while also refusing to adapt what people love about those franchises
You have to do Emily in Paris season 3. I actually heard you in my head commentating in real time. I got you saying "and I sh*t you not, the whole crowd of pool people start f*cking dancing ". You need to do season 3.
In no.4's case, don't worry. The creators have outright stated they never played the games, and have no respect for the source material. In short, they're the most attractive people for Hollywood to give adaptations to!
I mean the show isn't even really "adapting" the games but more so the books...that the games were kinda based on.
@@Linastdreamsong but the Halo books came out after the game and we’re based on the game. So the books couldn’t be the source either, could it?
@@aimeekessell5022 You’re correct, I replied to this comment thinking it was related to something else…sorry OP…I’ll leave my comment up for context.
Sci fi fans getting movies by people who don’t like or even understand the source material is a tale as old as time. Asamov fans have been getting shafted forever and even Star Trek wasn’t immune.
In the other hand Paul W S Anderson and Milla Jovovich said on multiple interviews that they are huge fans of Resident Evil and the movies suck.
Totally agree about Melissa McCarthy. I loved Spy and I thought, amazing! This is the kind of thing she's gonna do going forward! IT WAS NOT and I was baffled. Why was she doing crap projects when she had all the choice in the world? This thing about her husband, it explains so much.
It's sad that Melissa McCarthy keeps starring in the worst comedies ever when she is actually a pretty good dramatic actress (her work in Can You Ever Forgive Me? is truly stellar)
1) "The Time Traveler's Wife" (#8) was taken off HBO Max this month but it was released on DVD in October. You can tell the show's not coming back since it got a "Complete Series" DVD release. The show's few fans started a campaign to bring it back. Unsurprisingly, it hasn't gone anywhere! 😆
2) The awful Clone Wars movie that came out in 2002 or whatever actually came out in 2008, the same year the series came out! 🤓
3) If Resident Evil ever gets adapted into a TV show, they should definitely adapt one of the latest sequels or one of the latest remakes. Trying to make an original Resident Evil series like #3 has *not* been working! 😒
4) I had legitimately *never* heard of "God's Favorite Idiot" (#1) until now! That was probably for the best. 😅
I liked Obi-Wan Kenobi when I watched it, but completely forgot it came out until you just mentioned it! For me, I found the exploration of his guilt, along with the moral sacrifices he had to make in order to keep Leia safe, were very interesting, but they just didn’t explore them deeply enough.
Same.
Agreed. Focusing just on that would've been great, but trying to throw Vader into the mix just didn't work.
That's the problem though. The show went off the rails and become more about extraneous characters and created numerous plotholes and inconsistencies. It was by far some of the worst television I've seen in awhile, which is saying something after watching the awful Boba Fett nonsense.
I swear I'm waiting in anticipation for The Idol to see what kind of shit Sam Levinson is going to serve us following Euphoria season 2.
i’m rooting for it because i think the concept of having the weeknd as a cult leader is awesome, but idk what to expect at this point
@@whatthehellisthisResponding in 2024. Man were we wrong
@@lucidkangaroo8973 fr this comment aged like milk😭
What a list man ! Truly a weird year for series. Happy new year to you and yours homie 🙏🏾🥰
Melissa needs to say no to her husband because now it's a huge problem. She's too talented for this mess.
I felt your Resident Evil rant so much. As a massive fan of the game series, I was hoping that it would use the game setting, but it just being a generic zombie show crushed my heart.
Well,the entire Resident Evil series doesn’t really have a plot or story.
It’s just a generic zombie shooter game,the whole appeal of it is to finish the game as quickly as you can.I’m not sure why people are upset by this,I just see it as more proof as to why video game adaptation are always destined to flop same as Anime adaptation
@@UNKNOWN-qr7uo i bet you only played one or two games at most If you really dont understand why this show sucked
@@UNKNOWN-qr7uo I'm not a huge fan of the RE games and even I know you just spouted some grade-A bullshit right there lmao, your take belongs in the 90's
@@UNKNOWN-qr7uo are you serious? Or just terrible at trolling?
And the worst part is that Melissa McCarthy was pretty good in Nine Perfect Strangers last year!
She's meh in that show
It is so insane to me still that the show runners of Halo admitted that they never played the games and had no intention on doing so
You can’t just throw Requiem for a Dream out there. Every time I hear that title I involuntarily stop breathing for a few seconds under the weight it’s quirk. Such fun.
But still a damn good movie.
(9:23) I think Netflix purposely tanked _Blockbuster_ as a "suck it" move/ being petty for the way the company pretty much laughed in their faces all those years ago. It's extremely petty but I'd be amused to find it's true. Although, atm it's purely speculation 😂
Why would making an actually good show not be a bigger middle finger to Blockbuster? And the show is the bland type of bad, not the type to make one suspicious of foul play.
Not that that theory holds water anyway, no producer would be okay with sabotaging their own product to stick it to a dead company.
Its so sad that the time travellers wife was better executed. I love that book and the movie adaptation is pretty decent as well. It's a really good concept and would have loved to explore this story again through a different media
Never seen the show but I've seen the movie and imo the book is better.
Y'mean it wasn't better executed?
Preach, I liked the original book and film, but despite the talent of the writers and actors, it flopped notoriously.
"They messed with the lore only to make it MORE GENERIC"
I've seen that so.. so... so many times now, I really don't understand why that's the TREND now.
Honestly one thing I can appreciate about How I Met Your Father is that they focus more on future Sophie and not so much on her future son so that way they don’t run into the problem they had with HIMYM with having written the ending in season 2. It gives them more wiggle room.
The book of boba fett had so much potential imagine building a fight between boba fett and cad bane would fit with what cad said at some point that all clones are the same and after you figure out one the rest are easy, pretty satisfying to see him killed by a clone
Also you forgot about witcher the blood origin deserved a spot on this list
Likely hasnt watched it yet due to how much time it takes to make/edit
Merci pour ces deux vidéos coup sur coup, c'était vraiment top !
Très bonne idée d'en faire une tradition 👍🏻 Bonnes fêtes !
so happy you're releasing more videos ❤️❤️❤️ happy new year dylan!! 🥰
The funniest part of Thunder Force for me is that I genuinely can’t remember if I watched it or not. I remember seeing the page for it on Netflix and thinking “eh, I have an evening to burn” but I don’t remember if I finished it or not
Just finished your Top 10 Best Shows of 2022 when this popped up. you seriously never disappoint.❤❤❤
Agreed, perfect timing. I always find myself agreeing with all of Dylan's takes, he's so concise.
As a fan of First Kill, I totally get why it's on the list lol. Still so very sad that we won't get a season 2
First Kill had so much potential but Netflix didn’t invest in it and I think we all know why at this point. Such a shame. It could have been as iconically trashy as The Vampire Diaries
when does he mention it???
@@maialucero5048 Honourary mentions
I know you don’t do videos on anime but it’d be so interesting to see you review/talk about Attack on Titan! Anyways enjoyed this video Happy New Year! 🤗
Will you review His dark materials? I haven't seen anyone talking about it and it is awesome.
Euphoria s2 was a definitely controversial. But i will still stand saying that the episode focus on Rue is still the best in all the show.
Rue is the only thing doing for the show in s2, yet another mistake they made in the second season was making her less of a focus in the show.
Exactly, the Rue focused episode was the best aspect, and Zendaya arguably carried the season on her back.
That scene was so spot on, I had to schedule a therapy appointment (I was Rue’s sister basically).
I will say though, I liked the exploration of Cassie and Lexi’s childhood, I feel like they did a great job of showing what it feels like to have a parent like that, but also how that baggage can manifest itself in different ways. It seemed like MAYBE they are leading into a season all about Maddie and her finally *actually* putting herself first, and I would love that so 🤞
@@taylorgayhart9497 i agree, I totally get why Cassie did what she did in s2, but I wish they hadn’t turned the whole thing into pitting two girls against each other (the whole team Cassie or team Maddie thing)
@@taylorgayhart9497 i think is because Sam Levinson struggled with addiction.
Since he is the only writer for the show, i think it's the best plotline because it's one of the only issue takcled on the show he actually has significant experience with (since so much of them are, imo, pretty spécific to teen girls)
My goodness, I had completely forgotten some of these!! Thank you for your service, sir.
I cannot believe that you ignored Can You Ever Forgive Me, the role Melissa was literally nominated for a best actress award for at the Oscars
Did you make the music you play at the beginning and end of your videos? If so, do you have a Spotify? I really wanna hear more
I’d be interested to know your opinion on season 3 dead to me! I was very unsure how I felt at the end but was ultimately glad I watched it thanks to your recommendation
I really enjoyed the final season of dead to me
Final season was hella rushed and awkward at times. But I still cried at the end thanks to the performance
Next year is the Arcane and Invincible 2nd seasons year, so we’re solid for 2023
For me it’s the last of us, arcane, YOU, shadow and bone, doctor who..
Was Arcane officially announced for 2023? 😮✨
Hi, have you watched the new interview with a vampire series? It's different from the source material but It's really good and I'm curious about your opinion on this
I think that resident evil could have worked as a generic zombie series, I think the main sticking point is that they barely paid attention to any of the canon.
You always say you're not gonna watch the next season of Emily in Paris and it's never true.
I also noticed this but honestly, I think the reason is that this will bring many clicks to the channel - and I think with his level of quality, he deserves all the attention :)
it's the french in us. we'll say shit about our own country and people but if foreigners so much as attempt to showcase us and our place in fiction, we'll watch just to nitpick and dunk on them because it has to be an awful caricature, whether it's positive or negative 🤷♀
9:35
“How the fuck did they mess this up?”
The answer: Andy Samberg is irreplaceable.
@@lydsmartin23 I hate how Blockbuster tried so hard in its FIRST SEASON to set up the romance between Amy and Asian Jim Halpert without looking at how Brooklyn 99 did a very slow burn to make Jake and Amy’s relationship worked (It took 2 full seasons for Jake and Amy to have a first kiss, 3 seasons for them to start sleeping together and become a couple and 5 seasons for them to get married. Jake and Amy feel so real and so “symbiotic” together to the point that the audience feels so awkward when Melissa’s real hubby popped up in the show. Good thing takes time.)
Blockbuster rushed it so much. They want to erase Jake from our memories as soon as possible but Jake was established as a status quo at this point. It’s nearly impossible to replace him. And Andy Samberg is such a charismatic fella that he has a romantic chemistry with any actress who plays with him. Randall Park is a decent actor but he wasn’t made for romance.
How do you know someone hasn’t seen white lotus season 2
“Theo James is not a bad actor”
understatement of the decade
Even if it wasn't about such dark subjects, "it's just supposed to be fun" is not ever a defense for something being bad quality
8:30 I remember. All I kept thinking about was Sanditon, since Theo James couldn't return to it because he already signed up for this show and they killed off Sidney because of that.
11:04 No, I understand. For me, I had very simple wants: See Temura Morrison, Ming Na and Ewan McGregor be middle age butt kickers. Morrison and Ming Na were space gangsters and McGregor was Obiwon hanging out in the desert. Like, it's not that hard LucasFilms.
And I still hate CGI Luke.
19:40 They did a live action Halo show? Huh.
I enjoyed" Inventing Anna" only because some of the performances were good. But the dialogue had me dead. Like watching these people constantly vouch for Anna was the best part.
I refuse to believe that the Dua Lipa dance cover is real. I just cannot process it.
