Noeller Posted July 12, 2023 Report Posted July 12, 2023 Love that Segel got a nom for Shrinking and Lyonne for Poker Face. Two wildly underrated shows. Wideleft, GCJenks and Tracker 1 2
GCJenks Posted July 13, 2023 Report Posted July 13, 2023 Shrinking is so good on so many different levels, watched the season a second time on my last trip. Noeller 1

I'd like to add The Big Door Prize to the list of great under-rated shows. Only saw the premiere of Dark Winds with Zahn Mclarnan, but it's also a gooder. Season 2 starts in August and AMC is rebroadcasting season 1 just prior (6 episodes). Noeller 1

Never heard of this show before but it is now going to be must watch TV for me.

It really showed just how funny and how much indigenous people enjoy a good laugh. You won't find more laughter in a room than sitting around having a few beers with buddies on the res.

As someone who grew up on the reserve I could literally put a name of someone I knew to every character on that show. Edited July 13, 2023 by GCn20

Rez Dogs is absolutely my favorite show. There is a bright future for Harjo and those young leads - at least they deserve a bright future in acting, because they're all brilliant. JCon 1

Not much of a departure for them at all. That's what made the show so good I think. Just find a few funny young indigenous people and tell them to be themselves and relive some of the funny moments they remember. The actors had a lot of input into the crafting of their jokes, and you could see that indigenous humor shine. It's that acknowledgement that makes the show special I think. It talks about deep issues but does so just like I would with a group of my buddies, with jokes and laughter and an effort to make the best out of a bad situation. Edited July 13, 2023 by GCn20

Acting well is much harder than it looks, even though so many characters come across as naturals (Alexis Paul, specifically). What I love about the show is that trauma hangs over everyone, but there is so much humour and kindness in the scripting and acting. I find it way more uplifting and clever than Ted Lasso. JCon 1

What I love about the show is that trauma hangs over everyone, but there is so much humour and kindness in the scripting and acting. I find it way more uplifting and clever than Ted Lasso. Most of the sayings, jokes, and cultural references on the show are very typical of everyday reserve culture. They incorporated it very well and while I certainly can appreciate the difficulty in doing that, I can tell you that it came very natural to these actors. Trauma hangs over every reserve resident every day. It's the only thing they know well. You can not write a true reservation story without talking about suicide, despair, etc etc. and you cannot write a reserve story without acknowledging just how much humor they still enjoy in spite of that.

You see ridiculous comments like that and shake your head. I hate when people minimize the work that people do and the skills they have. Wideleft 1

My goodness is Anthony Carrigan an absolute delight.... and Stephen Root doing Stephen Root things, just dominating virtually every scene he's in. Hader proving yet again that he's a genius who is so much more than what he showed on SNL. He's a real cinephile and is currently working on a horror movie, which (and I'm not into horror movies) I have no doubt is going to be incredible. When Guillermo Del Toro is singing your praises and willing to pop in for a cameo, you know you're doing things right... I started watching the Perry Mason reboot. I knew about Matthew Rhys but didn't know Root, John Lithgow, Shea Whigham, and Tatiana Maslany were in it as well. Noeller 1
