"That alien artifact that landed on earth six months ago"

This is like not even trying. That dialogue was next level bad

6/n Sweet home, always avoided this because the cover looks stupid

Why are all of these shows both really dumb and about aliens?

This and #4 were top picks for me. That's almost unfathomable. These people who have similar Netflix profiles to me must really be idiots.

Well this was really fantastic compared to the last couple of shows but alas not very good. Another show that doesn't manage normal feeling dialogue.

Ew come on

This run so far makes me year for something like Requiem, a show with a sense of dignity and grace

10/n Osmosis

*yearn

So this show seems to me about virtual reality sex/love vs. algorithmic pairing. it also seems to be much more competently made than #1-9.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1757 on:** November 11, 2021, 04:52:21 pm »

Well regardless of how far I'll end up going with this, at least I've found a show that seems to actually be good. There's something depressing about everything being terrible.

Some studedt complained about me to a colleague. This is kind of a bummer. Although this wasn't explicit, I think implicitly I was hoping to go through the year without anyone ever saying I did a bad job.

The class was too loud so I gave two people extra exercises, and supposedly they complained that it was too much. But it was weird because my colleague said they thought they had to do three tasks, when the exercise was actually "here are three tasks, choose one of them". So it may have just been a misunderstanding. Also the third exercise was a logic puzzle that I didn't think they would be able to solve anyway (so if they really thought they had to do all three, certainly complaining would be justified). The task was meant to be something like "here is an easy fun exercise you can do in 5 minutes, if you don't want to do this, here's a totally boring exercise you can do in 15 minutes; also if you're smart you can instead solve this logic puzzle".

Also I think one of the two complained that they hadn't done anything wrong, they were just saying something about the material to someone else. Which is totally true, it's just like, when everyone is too loud, you have to pick out one to punish to make the others realize that you mean business, and that choice is going to be arbitrary. The crime wasn't saying anything wrong, the crime was talking too loudly

Also the class is actually really nice except for being a bit loud, they did become quiet after I gave out the two extra exercises, and generally everything was fairly harmonious

silverspawn · « **Reply #1760 on:** November 12, 2021, 04:05:10 pm »

(Also I sent them a mail with the exercises, and it very clearly stated that they only had to do one, so if they thought they had to do all three, I have no idea why they would have thought that.)

Finished Osmosis. The writing got very out there near the end and no this isn't how AI works, but at least it wasn't predictable or boring. Pretty decent show.

They can't all be the best written show ever

Tomorrow shall be the official end of my slacking off days, and I'll go back to being highly productive

But until then, let's see if I have time for

Netflix Run #5

1/n Katla

silverspawn · « **Reply #1765 on:** November 13, 2021, 11:26:26 pm »

Well almost. Promising start, interesting setting, good music, but the people don't really seem interesting and the writing doesn't really seem all that good.

2/n Frequency

silverspawn · « **Reply #1766 on:** November 13, 2021, 11:30:32 pm »

Not even slightly real feeling

3/n The Barrier

silverspawn · « **Reply #1767 on:** November 13, 2021, 11:35:29 pm »

I think that was a new champion of worst job doing exposition

These people who when confronted with conclusive proof of the supernatural only care about whatever the symptom is instead of the total overhaul of their worldview

Is this like a series of 10 minute self-contained pointless horror flicks?

At least it's competently made enough to feel weird.

7/n Ad Vitam

A show in a world that has conquered aging could certainly be interesting, but if this is the best you can do with the opening scene then RIP

8/n Good Morning Veronica

silverspawn · « **Reply #1772 on:** November 14, 2021, 12:14:45 am »

Not very interested in a crime show right now, but certainly this was much better than #2-#7 and probably also #1.

9/n She

I was like "this talking feels like the worst dub ever" and lo and behold, it was a dub. God that was bad. I shudder to think that people actually watch stuff dubbed.

No idea why it didn't play the original language by default, but let's try this again.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1774 on:** November 14, 2021, 12:30:38 am »

So this is about a detective disguising as a prostitute to convict someone. Probably not going to finish this but not sure
