Neat, thanks. That led me to look at Helena Bonham Carter's IMDB and I had no idea that Marla from Fight Club was Mrs. Bucket from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Gaucho has been banging the drum on this one for a while now, but Detectorists is really good. Very much in the same vein as Ghosts, After Life, and to a lesser extent, Ted Lasso.

The BBC version of Ghosts is up next for us, but I'll add that to the queue, as well.

You're watching the US version now right? It'll be interesting to see if you had the same reaction to the BBC version as I did the US one.The BBC version of Ghosts is up next for us, but I'll add that to the queue, as well.

I bet we'll love them both. As for Detectorists, it's apparently included with Prime, so that's good. Now I just have to remember to check Prime.

I watched Detectorists years ago and it didn't work for me, but I can give it another run.

One thing about binging Scrubs is that you know when Elliott and JD sleep together you're in for 4-6 sub-par episodes.

For me all the Elliott JD stuff is fine when it ends with the split sometime in S 3-4. When they bring it back in I think S6, that's when I'm like ugggghhh

Just finished Cowboy Bebop (animated) for the first time. Very fun. The dub is great, and the intro song is an all-timer.

Awesome. Just finished rewatching it myself. Still love it. Watched ep1 of the live action and don't hate it. Jet's actor is incredible and the sets are sensational. I can tell they even tried for the right tone but it's tough to recreate in live action.Just finished Cowboy Bebop (animated) for the first time. Very fun.

Watching the new season of Dirty Jobs. They got rid of the old theme song, so it’s already starting off o the wrong foot.

Yeah, the action is so visually rich I can imagine it not translating the best to live. I also heard they made the change of...Awesome. Just finished rewatching it myself. Still love it.

I'll still probably check it out. Seems like the cancellation had more to do with budget and viewership than actual quality.

The hardcore fans raged about how bad it was and that spilled over to fans like me I think. And yeah mostly because of that stuff you mentioned. Now many are backpedaling and praising parts of it. But what I saw of Ed on a clip was rough. But if just for seeing that dude portray Jet and to get a sense of the phenomenal settings you should check the first episode.
The main thing I wanted portrayed was the tone. Jazzy fightscenes are cool but the lonely quiet suppressed atmosphere is much easier to get across in anime. Pausing on still scenes during a reaction closeup for example

Yeah, good point on that final observation.
I saw the Ed clip too. That character was always going to be a tough literal translation. If there ever were a time to deviate from a character a bit, that would've been it. Honestly the biggest affront in that scene is the camera angles. It reminded me of bad 90s music videos.

hah yeah i think it did. what was surprising was how well the actor mimicked Ed and that that was the problem. yeah they needed to just go with the spirit of the character and not attempt a 1 for 1. the scene sort of reminded me of a something from Little Monsters which I always hated

Not sure I’d be that hard on it and it was better than the original ending. But not great.Dexter finale.

Is the season done already? I can get it on BritBox through Amazon Prime for like $6/mo and with a 7-day free trial.@dodint: I have no idea if this is even available in the states, but see if you can find The Cleaner. I think it might be up your alley. My wife and I certainly enjoy it.

Yep, typical British series of just 6 episodes. You can easily knock it out in the free trial.Is the season done already?
