Stephen Shankland

@timbray @jwz Disappointed to report that I agree with JWZ's gripes about Silo storytelling. Love the set, enjoyed the books, but the murder investigation machinations are muddled. If I'd not read the books, I suspect I'd be much more at sea.

@stshank @timbray @jwz I disagree. I loved the books' world but found their characters and dialogue risible. Show is much better, keeps the good things from books, is dramatised by pro writers. Mrs L hadn't read books, found the show gripping and unconfusing.

@brucelawson @stshank @jwz I'm with Bruce, imperfect but enjoyed it. Especially the we-gotta-fix-the-generator episode, captured the feel of an engineering crisis.

@stshank @timbray I wasn't *confused* by any of it, I was just constantly oscillating between "that's impossible, that can't possibly work, that's not how any of this works" and "how am I expected to believe that any of these incurious motherfuckers survived a day down there".

I assume the answer's going to be "mind control drugs", I mean why not, we're already expected to believe that their NTSC network of square CRTs can produce perfect holograms.

Very useful, especially since discovering anything on streaming services without knowing it is there is basically impossible.

@timbray @jwz That was a fun read. The Sanctuary summary was hilarious.

@timbray @jwz I want to read his take on “Suits.” Netflix pushed it at me and, well, I have thoughts.

@alexr @timbray I have a moderately strict rule about never watching shows about lawyers, doctors or cops.

@jwz @timbray Pretty sure the pitch was “Mad Men with lawyers.” In S02, they switched entirely to threatening each other, backstabbing, and every other toxic workplace thing you can think of.

@timbray @jwz I found Extrapolations extremely hit and miss and wish it had been better, but yes, the whale episode is heartbreaking and great
