Reply to comment by neku in I'm watching For All Mankind season 4 (spoilers) by flabberghaster
It's actually not, it's very good! The premise is what if the soviets beat the US to the moon. Each season takes place in a different era in the space race, in an alternate history where things are a bit better.
The current season however takes place under president Al Gore and everything is being privatized (which is portrayed negatively) so there's kind of a lot of shitty stuff going on. The show itself is good.

It ties things up, so it's worth watching. But it's not as good. Still good though.
Good, not as good, and ends the show well.

Reply to I thought Succession was solidly fine by flabberghaster
i feel like this could've been a one-off serial with S1-S3 contained in six episodes and then S4 left as it is
i also didn't sympathize with any of the characters. i thought it would've been unrealistic to randomly kill off three billionaires in the finale even if it would've been satisfying. so i think they should've waited three weeks for the finale

Oh yeah it is really good, doesn't take itself as seriously. I could never tell if succession was meant to be a comedy, lots of people seemed to think so, but if it was it was very dry.

Reply to Wheel of Time TV Show (spoilers!) by flabberghaster
I don't think you can adapt Wheel of Time without the gender essentialism. You'd need to rewrite a lot of the core ideas. I'm watching the first episode at the moment and they don't seem to be shying away from it with the taint still being there and the Red Ajah misandry, so it's odd that they are throwing in that the Dragon could be a woman, when part of the tension around the prophecy is that male channellers are inherently a massive danger but he is also meant to be a messiah.

Up until this comic, I thought "squid game" was just some Splatoon 3 spinoff that I was uninformed about

Well yeah thinking back it was the only way for it to end, pretty unique little show. I didn't feel like they had the writing and pacing as well in hand as in earlier seasons but all in all I wasn't disappointed
