Why is it so good?
It's good, but not so good. I like the direction it's taking at the end of season 2 though, so it has potential.
But seriously they almost stopped me from watching it with that teenager bullshit in the first season, holy fuck those kids are offputting
read the imdb summary.
>only 2% of the world population
lol
fuck you hbo, stop giving all your money to got
if they had made it %80, i'd give it a chance
Season one >>>> Season two
>>71556135
140 million people vanished into thin air around the globe. That's not enough for worldwide panic?
Anyway, the show isn't about the departed. It's about the leftovers.
>>71556135
If they did 80% it would be too much like your standard post apocalypse shit.
>>71556135
2% of 5billion is fucking huge you faggot.
>s1 = kino masterpiece tier
And then in season 2 the show was BLACKED in every sense of the word. They tried to pull some kino at the end but it couldn't make up for the unforgivable agenda pushing leading up to that point.
>>71556135
80% would totally change the tone of the series in a post apocalyptic way
>>71556220
I don't get this, most of the black characters are bad/incredibly flawed people. I wouldn't say its pushing an agenda at all
>>71556178
there are still a lot of people, it wouldn't even matter in the long run of life.
>>71556181
yeah, that's exactly why i'd watch it.
>>71556211
arent there 7.5 billion people in the world
>>71556222
yeah.
>>71556220
You must've missed the entirety of the first season then.
>>71556220
>>71556248
There was literally no agenda pushing at all. The Murphy's were extremely well written characters who happened to be black.
I was so ready to hate the season for adding in a black family just to get that diversity going on, but that's not what it turned out to be at all. Jon and Erika were fucking amazing compliments to Kevin and Nora. S2 is literal GOAT in every sense of the word.
>>71556170
True but season 2 was still kino
>>71556170
Was holy Wayne legit?
>>71556248
Shoving black people down my throat is inherently agenda pushing. It's an effort to normalize multi-racial societies and even interracial sex.
>Literally my wife's black son
You can not defend this crap.
>>71556339
Reminder that the fact the writing is good doesn't stop the show from being agenda pushing propaganda.
If the writing in female ghostbusters was 10/10 and it was actually amazingly hilarious it would still be no less of a political attack.
>>71556277
Are you fucking retarded? It wouldn't matter in the long run? It's not about losing enough of the population that the world can no longer function. It's about how the impact of such a traumatic unexplainable event can destroy people's lives.
The show is about characters dealing with immense grief in which there really is no way of coping. They will never get closure and that scares the fuck out of them. It's about watching how different character choose to deal with their loss.
But you've already made up your mind, so whatever.
so what made Jarden so special? I don't get it
>>71556411
Jarden = Garden
Garden of Eden
>>71556400
So the cast must be entirely white and the second that it strays from that it suddenly becomes agenda pushing? The Murphy's skin colour had no impact on their story at all... So I guess Holy Wayne being black was pushing some agenda too? Oh and that qt asian who had a black baby! Fucking race mixing!
Like i swear you're fucking retarded man.
>>71556360
>>71556400
Are you okay?
>>71556075
>that International Assasin episode.
Its great. I hope it gets nominated for something, they're killing it.
Also, Carrie Fucking Coon.
>>71556181
>>71556178
>>71556135
Plus, the 144 number has religious implications, which lends a lot of credence to the religious nuts
>>71556411
>missing the entire point of the season
>>71556220
I do prefer S1, and I don't understand the criticism people had with it, saying it was too depressive. S2 is really good as well, but the first episodes weren't as good as the later ones, specially Nora's and Jamison's episode.
The Jamison's episode from season one is the best from the whole show, International Assassin is the second and Jamison's episode from S2 is the third. Nora's episodes come close.
>>71556411
Only part of the country (world?) where nobody disapeared at October 14th.
>>71556411
It's probably not. Statistically it was unlikely, but no one from the town departed, which many considered a miracle.
>>71556493
Carrie Coon is easily the best actress on tv nowadays.
>>71556220
the little niglet kid is ugly as fuck, but I don't know about the rest. I liked s2.
>>71556473
The entire Holy Wayne character and his BLACKING of the asians who worshipped him was pure cuckoldry. That plotline was like some kind of fetish porn scenario for cucks.
And then the white people are left to look after the baby. lmao.
>So the cast must be entirely white and the second that it strays from that it suddenly becomes agenda pushing?
There are more races than black and white. Funny how the media doesn't reflect that. In practice the diversity meme is giving as much representation as possible to that race that justs so happens to be the race that has been weaponized by the powers that be to breed the white race out of existence.
You'd never have seen a japanese or even latino family in such a prominent role. It's always blacks because blacks are the gun that the manipulators are holding against the head of the white man.
>>71556576
agreed
I still can't believe this is the same Justin Theroux from Six Feet Under
>>71556220
holy shit
this is what /tv/ does to people
>kino
>BLACKED
>agenda
nice autism
>>71556636
Race color is pigmentation if the first of our race were black, how the fuck there are whites? Because the white race usually lives in places that have less radiation, making them white. My dad is originally white, but due to living in a country which is very close to Ecuador tropic, the intense radiation made his skin become darker his arms have a darker color than his body (which is white). White will never cease to exist. And Holy Wayne being black didn't influence the show nor are the Murphy's.
Stop going to /pol/ bro,
>>71556898
>this is what /tv/ does to people
Opens their eyes.
Season one was the best desu.
>>71556652
he looks CGI there
>>71556941
No it wasn't, fuck off with that meme shit
>waaaah!! there's black people in the show :(
>>71556652
Amazing what a beard and better hair style can do to your aesthetics
>>71556582
Apparently in 2017.
They're shooting in Australia right now.
>>71556914
Was taking the bait part of your plan ?
>>71556411
Nothing.
That's the point.
>>71556971
Yes it is.
>>71557556
The teens were the worst segment of the show by far. You have shit taste
>>71556075
>Why is it so good?
>writing is superb
>it is about characters,their coping with grief and growth not /got/ and /bb/ style of epic deaths and cool reddit memes
>actors are great, Coon, Dr. Who, bestTheroux, Tyler, Patti and both black parents are great but I think brainwashed mom and Chad son are not that good imo
>>71557556
>>71556941
muh diok

too bad hulk makes it really weird
How come no one arrested the Guilty Remnant for breaking into people's homes in the 1st season when they stole all those pictures?
>>71556652
Also same Justin Theroux who wrote Iron Man 2, Zoolander 2, Tropic Thunder, and Rock of Ages. Based Theroux is based.
>>71556941
I can't believe she's actually 27.
>>71556135
I don't know, if 2% of the world's population just suddenly disappeared out of thin air, people would freak out and start re-thinking their lives, especially those who have "lost" friends and family members.
Plus it sounds right, in Catholicism there is a doctrine called "the fewness of the saved" which basically means that only a small minority of people will ever go to heaven and the rest will all go to hell.
>>71556075
>Why is it so good?
>production is great, sets looks nice
>directors do great job
>great soundtrack
and mostly there is nothing like this on tv, if you get it and like it you cant get it somewhere else, its like going to church
>>71556075
>Only two mentions of International Assassin in the whole thread
People need to know it's one of the best episodes of any series ever.
Symbolism and Verdi and great acting.
>>71557641
Chad is a great actor, basically everyone in the show is fucking great except for Jill.
>>71556348
No. You've gotta believe in him.
It's an allegory for religion.
It's a terrible melodrama that capitalizes on an intellectually and spiritually bankrupt audience with empty symbolism and religious allusions. The fact that it is uniformly praised on this shithole of a board is all the evidence you need.
God damn I love this show. I've said this before and I'll say this again, but this is one of the few shows where character interactions and dialog feel real. It doesnt feel like im watching a show. They are just people dealing with shit and its executed perfectly.
>>71558096
I will not fall into your bait mate.
>>71558096
>my tastes are superior because I choose to bash the medium on which I am currently using
>>71557972
1st season Jill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2nd season Jill
>>71557641
Chad boy went from ok to God tier in that final scene in the episode when they steal Wayne's schtick
it doesnt try to solve the mystery
>>71556400
>>71556360
I bet you really thought you were saying something clever huh
>>71556509
>Guest no the best episode of the series.
'no'
>sad scene
>piano music starts
Hope they stop that like mad men did.
>>71558503
they stopped it in S2
>>71558517
It was literally in the last scene of season 2.
>>71558544
okay?
>>71558380
This one i mean
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw3H3OFg-2g
>>71556531
I know that, I'm just asking why...
>>71558620>>71557972
great scene,
Chad boy got a lot better in s2, I have to agree with you
