TBH, I didnt really expect much. I never really watched the original series (saw one I think) and havent seen any of the films, and it struck me as just being another PC remake (aka let's redo this, but of course have a black woman replace the white man).

However, I did quite enjoy it, and will continue watching the series to see how it goes. A nice change to have my poor expectations improved on.

I never saw the series but I loved the Denzel Washington movie (first one). I am going to be very narrow minded here but my impression of the character is that a degree of physicality is involved and casting PC Queen Latifah in the role doesn't deliver on that and this is the kind of thing which kills my realism factor. I don't care how good the stories are and the production quality, if you can't believe the actor is the character who they say they are then it ruins the premise of the series.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021

I watched, and the action scenes are believable - may I suggest you try it before you judge?

Not sure why you put "PC" in front of Queen Latifah?

Was it "PC" when Denzel Washington was cast in the film?

Why can’t women be action heroes - have you seen Gina Carano fight, or Charlie Theron in Atomic Blonde or Old Guard?

for some US networks everything is about PC choices in casting and pushing certain agendas in story lines and for some series that is the only thing they are about.

absolutely, and they were suited for the role because they were physically fit and capable of doing what was required and thus the performance and characters are realistic and believable. Anyway, what about Aeon Flux

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021

From that one trailer though she didn't look bad. I'd have to give it a watch though cause trailers are misleading.

Unfortunately, many also are, and in some cases they actually boast about it (Batwoman for example). Even the UK is now doing it (Dr Who).

This was (IMO) another case, but as I said above, I think it went quite well (so far) so I'll keep watching for now, to see how it pans out.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021

Oh yeah there is a lot of examples of it done badly like. Dr Who came to my mind earlier as well. Arrowverse does seem quite bad for it too.

It is how they edit the trailer and/or scene which makes it look good though. If they want it to look good they just need to get someone who can do what is required and film the whole thing in one shot rather than getting body doubles and shooting it from different angles, quickly cutting between them trying to make it look like it is the same person. Putting Denzel Washington aside from the movie, I think Keanu Reeves and John Wick are the perfect example of how things like this should be done. He deserves an A*.

it's terrible for it, especially Supergirl. This is what I was talking about earlier but didn't want to pick on particular series. Grey's Anatomy is starting to get really bad for it as well.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021

for those of you who like your anime






You should also checkout a new series I added called Debris. I added a description and and a link to a teaser in the main post.

Tbh I mostly rely on tv calendar to alert me to new tv series. I come across some by accident when reading articles about different things but the majority of them I rely on tv calendar for, that way I get a concise synopsis and a premiere date. I hear about loads of stuff on sites like imdb and tvseriesfinale but there is such a thing as hearing about something too soon. I am not interested in a new series when it has been green lit/assigned script writer/casting is underway etc because it is still yonks away and any number of things can happen between those very early stages of pre-production and the series actually being broadcast.
