Insane, illegal, criminally good. This movie is playing with my mind more than Schrödinger’s cat.

It is so good man… I just watched the second episode last night. The first episode was very engaging though that kinda felt like you were watching a ‘disaster movie’ such as War of the Worlds, 2012 or Dante’s Peak etc. It’s the same storyline as the PS game but there’s a lot of backstory to it and expands more on narrative details that were shortened down or dismissed in the game version.

As usual in most TV shows and movies these days, there’s still all that diversity shit involved since the game originally was predominantly a Caucasian cast. The main characters Joel and Tommy (two brothers) are not Hispanic and Joel’s daughter weren’t Multiracial either since the adaptation says they should be White American. I’m not saying it’s major deal but if it’s an adaptation it should be as accurate as possible. Imagine if Star Wars fans watched the new Kenobi series and some Indian or Chinese guy was casted to be Obi-Wan Kenobi instead of Ewan McGregor, i think a lot of people would be pissed off. Nothing wrong with having a White cast if it’s accurate… it’s not racist :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

The backstory really does emphasise the situation of the fungus pandemic in a disturbing way especially, which they didn’t really narrate in the game as that was more focused on the survival, investment of characters and apocalyptic aftermath aspects. It also mentions how deadly/devastating plagues like viruses and prions as such can be successfully conquered/cured eventually with the current science, research and technology they have. Although a life threatening aggressive fungus strain cant since there’s no medicine or cure to a fungus outbreak. The only solution would be to drop a large bomb on the target population infected area whether a city, region or country… depending on how far it’s spread.

I’m hoping in the future they’ll do a Walking Dead adaptation spin off based on Lee and Clementines story from the Telltale game series. It’s a lot better experience than the Last of Us and it even achieved game of year award back in 2012 for great storytelling.

Never heard of it til now but I will start it tonight! It looks good.

“A tiny startup, run by two teenage boys and a newly arrived, supremely psychically gifted girl, a renegade trio destined to unravel a mystery that will change the course of history.”

Btw- the term “start-up” reminded me of the show Start-Up that is also a must watch from Netflix.

Anything with those actors count.


“What did I just watch?” movie (or scifi adventure anime) from 90s Japan.

6.4/10 (that’s the actual rating, which is kinda accurate).

I’d watch any old anime movie though.

Der Schwarm - Basierend auf dem Bestseller von Frank Schätzing - ZDFmediathek

There is this series released based on the novel by Frank Schätzing - Der Schwarm - The Swarm.
Its here in the zdf mediathek; if you set up a VPN with server location in germany you can watch it too. Plus it can be watched in English and with subtitles if needed.

I read the book a very long time ago, it had a thousand pages and was quite fascinating.

Ghosts, originally on BBC but watching on HBO max

The first season is extra zany and a little slow moving but the second season really hits its stride and balances the adorable comedy with really deep themes which illustrate the human condition across centuries.

Starting the third season now …
