Elementary is one of my favorite shows. I love the characters (and never had much of an issue with Mycroft but I was on a forum that did have issues with him) and fine with procedurals.
I liked TBBT but for some reason, I got away from watching it and since it's not available on any of the streaming platforms, I never caught up with it again though I do plan to.
I was one who wanted a second season of BLL because I felt there was too much unresolved and I haven't seen the second season yet since there's just way too much tv on now.
Honestly I just wasn’t that into the casting for Mycroft, maybe I would have been more invested in him and in his relationship with Sherlock if not for that. I’ll be shallow and admit that he just wasn’t who I had pictured for Sherlock’s brother, and I wouldn’t really have been a fan of the show pairing him with Joan even with different casting I don’t think
And I was excited to get another season of BLL at first as well, but I did end up disappointed because it didn’t live up to the first season imo. Taken on its own merits though, it wasn’t a bad season of tv, and it was nice to get a few of the plot lines resolved. It just didn’t really line up well enough with the first season for me, a few of the plot lines felt quite inconsistent even with what I had previously understood of the characters and their relationships, and just overall season 1’s ending would have been a much stronger note to leave the show on
I also couldn't get into Fleabag. I didn't really get 'smug' from it, but I just found everyone on the show horrible, and not in an entertaining way. It also for some reason hit my embarrassment squick hard.
Maybe smug isn’t the right word exactly, but it was just how often she was mugging to the camera that was putting me off, it makes it really hard to get into the story when it’s that self-aware and making asides to the audience every ten seconds. And yep, I definitely didn’t connect much to the main character
Wow, I haven't seen a single show you started in 2019! I guess our tastes in tv-shows have grown apart a lot ^^"
I wish STUMPTOWN was better. I love Michael Ealy, but this is one of the worst shows he's ever done. Funny enough it's the one that got a full-season-order *lol* :D
Aww, that’s a bummer! I’ve mostly been catching up with streaming shows these days as it’s just easier for me, so the shows that air on US networks and don’t get added to Netflix or Prime are the ones that I’m less likely to check out now
I’ve been hoping that Stumptown gets added somewhere as it sounds like an interesting show, I do like those kind of detective stories, but I have noticed quite a few people seem to be souring on it lately :(
You probably will like it, it seems to have become super popular lately, even Obama has been rec’ing it! I’m definitely the exception it seems in not enjoying it that much, and in all fairness it does make for a good comedy show as it was very funny in what I saw of it, it just wasn’t my kind of show when it came to emotionally investing in the characters and that world I suppose
Yeah, Hannibal fandom is special. (I haven't seen the show yet, but am lurking a lot and reading fic.) I remember that post and it made me cringe too. It also seems to be pretty centered on tumblr, I haven't found much on dw and lj. And as always the women don't get enough love.
Hannibal is a genuinely welcoming and creative fandom when it comes to fic and arc, but if I’m honest, I do wish that it was easier to come across more meta and discussions, rather than pics of Will in bondage gear....Maybe I’m being unfair here though and just not looking in the right places, idk. It probably doesn’t help that twitter especially isn’t really designed for long essays, it is more about posting pics and quick comments
( ... )
There's definitely a lot of great fic and art in the fandom. I do have the impression that there's generally less meta around than there used to be. Or maybe it's just gotten harder to find?
I haven't come across anyone calling celebrities Mom and Dad but agreed that's really weird.
I don’t really get it either, but it’s something that I come across occasionally with David and Gillian especially for some reason. Apparently it’s meant to show how much you like and admire the celebrity, but it all seems very strange to me lol
And I suppose that meta is less popular because fandom is no longer based around blogging on LJ/DW where there’s more space to write your thoughts down, plus everything moves so fast on social media these days as well that there isn’t really the time any more for fandom to consider and discuss a well written essay, it all seems to be geared more around sharing pics and quick pithy commends
