I am watching it dubbed in English with the english subtitles on (I guess subtitles would be the right since it's controlled fromthe netflix subtitle menu). It definitely does not match. The english dub is much smoother.

xpost Yerac i thought the same thing abt the Bali guy! “If you’re not using REAL chcolate you should quit being a pastry chef.” Ugh.Pretty sure the reason he’s holed up in Bali is because everyone hates him. He came off as a total choad.

It's Sanrio!
sanrio actually bought aggretsuko after it was a few years old iirc

so it is but it also isn't is i guess my point
I finally watched Chefs Table France. Loved that Couillon guy with the fish restaurant, esp at the beginning when he tells the supplier the scallops are “SHEET” <3

He's holed up in Bali because he would otherwise fall off the wagon (good for him for knowing his limits, I guess) and get fired from another job. He concoctions were cringey, art school project I am now googling Will Goldfarb so I can hate on him more. I do like that WaPo pointed out that there are more women in pastry yet Chef's Table focused on men.

BTW, I don't know if he had alcohol /drug issues, I was just guessing by those terrible pics and his demeanor.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:46 (six years ago) link
too many shots of Jeff Daniels saggy old arse pumping away
The one scene in the first ep was enough to get me to tap out on The Looming Tower. Ew ew ew

Liking AggRetsuko a lot. Sanrio type animals doing death metal karaoke to escape corporate life? Yes, please.

We have been watching the new Lost in Space. I am a little bleh about it but I love Parker Posey and the spouse is into the nostalgia.
― Yerac, Thursday, 26 April 2018 21:48 (six years ago) link
I'm a big Toby Stephens fan.. is it worth checking out? (Lost in Space)
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Thursday, 26 April 2018 22:27 (six years ago) link
Haven't finished Lost in Space yet but I'm not sure I want to continue. It's so dreary and unimaginative - they're on an alien planet (which looks like Canada) and all they can think about is their own family drama. Parker Posey's character is the only interesting person in the whole ensemble.
― Roz, Thursday, 26 April 2018 23:03 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I am not sure either. I am barely watching it at this point but again if you're into the nostalgia or like to watch anything spacey...
― Yerac, Thursday, 26 April 2018 23:19 (six years ago) link
Helen watched Lost in Space and really enjoyed it, but it seemed wack to me.
― ian, Thursday, 26 April 2018 23:31 (six years ago) link
Yerac, stop watched dubbed television.
― ian, Thursday, 26 April 2018 23:34 (six years ago) link
For some weird reason Ru Paul Drag Race season 8 (only season 8!) is dubbed in Spanish and doesn't have any english subtitles.
― Yerac, Friday, 27 April 2018 00:22 (six years ago) link
We have now watched 4 seasons of Archer in 5 days.
new life goal is to determine if I’m a helen or an ian

I wonder if Ian (& Hellen) would like Terrace House...
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 27 April 2018 02:42 (six years ago) link
They should, it's very soothing. And impossible to watch dubbed, so Ian should be thrilled. THRILLED!

someone tell me if that scandihoovian apocalypse show is any good cuz i'm kind of apocalypsed out. The Rain.

It's quite good, but the ending is unsatisfying.

The new something of Monkey is basically an Asian-Australian version of Hercules TLJ but with Sun Wukong instead of Hercules and Tripitaka instead of Iolaus. It’s very dumb but that makes it good Sunday afternoon TV imo.
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 02:24 (five years ago) link
i want to watch it but i know it’s just gonna make me want to watch the original series so idk
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 03:11 (five years ago) link
I watched so much monkey magic as a kid
― Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 08:05 (five years ago) link
Monkey seemed quite magical to me back in the 70's, even on an old b/w tv.

We didn’t have it here! Lol wtf that explains the “new adventures” bit I guess

Can't wait to watch Ricky Gervais honour his imaginary dead wife's memory by being racist pic.twitter.com/Pk02nYzJ0o— RopesToInfinity (@RopesToInfinity) May 8, 2018

I watched two episodes of the new David Letterman. Holy crap has be fallen out of touch. I just doublechecked to see when he retired, thinking it was 8-10 years ago. It was mid 2015.

Just out of curiosity, what led to the recent boom in Gervais hate?
― Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
Ricky Gervais

pretty much every time someone commented on his tendency to lean on offending people and punching down, he doubled down. presumably his skin is paper thin
― mh, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:44 (five years ago) link
FYI, Marcella kinda devalues the stock ominous industrial noise drones employed by the 'damaged British detector of serial killers' genre due to their omnipresence over scenes of people like checking their email and making toast.
― Love Theme From Oh God! You Devil (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:46 (five years ago) link
anyway, I don't know if I'd called it a recent boom exactly. It's been building throughout his increasingly tired and hateful post-Office TV work and woeful cinematic efforts (not to mention the awards show appearances). There's been a little spike lately because he released an awful, offensive Netflix special
― Number None, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:46 (five years ago) link
I think anti-Gervais sentiment mostly stems from putting everything he had to offer into his first big project and coasting on fumes forever afterwards.

there should be a bbc comedy about a support group for damaged u.k. detectives. who can i pitch that to?

Marcella REALLY strains credulity even by Luther standards.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:52 (five years ago) link
I made a joke that the killer was in fact her two kids stacked two high and dressed like an adult, but everyone on the show is so damaged that I'm not ruling it out just yet.
― Love Theme From Oh God! You Devil (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:58 (five years ago) link
(My gf just finished The Fall and detoured directly into Marcella. I mostly do other things while they're on because evidence suggests that these shows about the bucolic mass murder capital of the world are Not My Thing.)
