S2E6Loving this discussion about Laika over what seems to be a Ramones song I can’t hear loud enough to identify

My reaction roughly similar to Leee’s, perhaps I will have more to say later

What to watch next after this, The Patriot?

Also I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but still am at all the completely convincing non-Americans in the cast.

Kinnaman’s father was from the US and he spent some high school time here so even though he grew up mostly in Sweden he naturally speaks with American accent, but Jodi Balfour is from South Africa, Michael Dorman is from New Zealand and Sonya Walger (not in the video) is basically British, born in London to an Argentine father, although she is now a US citizen.

Wrenn Schmidt is from South Carolina so she comes by her accent pretty naturally, although I’d guess she amps it up for the character.

Patriot is a black comedy, very different show, but Michael Dorman is also great in that. Halt and Catch Fire has some parallels to FAM (computer pioneers rather than space pioneers, takes place over different time periods, with heavy focus on their personal lives) but no alternate history, basically. I know Man in the High Castle IS another alternate history show but I haven't seen it
― Vinnie, Tuesday, 20 July 2021 22:58 (two years ago) link
I don’t want to admit how far into this show I was and the sense of loss I felt when I got to the end of S2. Except maybe others like VG and JM already said something similar, I think.

Even though I nearly stopped watching when Margo was getting ready to go to work to the tune of "Rockit"

Man In High Castle is great (but also can be maddening & make you want to throw your tv out the window at times). The Imposter is another good alternative reality show (on prime)

alternate *history
Do you have a link to that imposter show, vg? Please! The stuff I’m googling doesn’t sound right.

Counterpart is so low key, definitely worth your attention but it absolutely doesn’t loudly telegraph the important parts — which are really the little characters moments and JK Simmons doing subtlety
― mh, Wednesday, 21 July 2021 01:55 (two years ago) link
Aha, cool, thank you!
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Wednesday, 21 July 2021 05:35 (two years ago) link
Counterpart is amazing! I think I raved about it on a different thread. I never would have made a connection between the two shows, but I can see it now that vg has mentioned it
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 21 July 2021 11:10 (two years ago) link
In that video I posted Kinnaman is talking over some of the other cast members, which is kind of obnoxious, I think.

Apparently that whole Gary Cooper thing was just acting. Who knew?
― Two Severins Clash (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 22 July 2021 00:32 (two years ago) link
Okay, since I pretty much trust y’all on these things I will take a look-see at this Counterpart.

It seems to affect a lot of recent shows with otherwise high production values but this show in particular seems to be not even trying to age up the actors with makeup when 10-15 years are supposed to have passed, with the exception of colonel droopy's fat thor arc -- and he ends up looking younger than in season 1 by the end!

Re: Counterparts S1E6 enjoyed the big reveal at the end, even though of course they had already made it pretty clear before

Ha, sorry, no ‘s’ at the end, it’s not the story in Dubliners.

Just wait till the next episode, I think it was my favorite of the whole series

Have to say the use of pop music in Counterpart show is a little more sparing and subtle and less Forrest Gump-like than in the titular show. Particularly liked discovering this song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ55A__qO3oAlso there was a John Cale song I didn’t know too well that was cool.

“Big White Cloud” from Vintage Violence, which I haven’t listened to too much.
