When are the final 3 episodes of Dopesick on Disney?

They’ve been coming out one a week on Wednesdays

[RedSince86]

Newest episode of Invasion was amazing.

This show has been getting better with every episode the last 4-5 episodes, finale next week.

Been reading the brand new Invasion reddit and some theory floating on there by quite a few posters.

https://www.reddit.com/r/InvasionAppleTV/

Spoiler

They are actually 2 races of aliens at war with each other, one is Poisoning the atmosphere and terraforming the planet, the other one is the one that came to protect us, they accidently hit the Japanese ship and are the ones communicating with earth and their ship got nuked and the one looking like it's about to crash land, also a theory the spike aliens are the good ones and are killing humans and uploading their consciousness to a cloud.

I've thought for a while that there's some way that Sam Neill will appear in the final episode. And then there was the part where the authorities didn't believe the voice was their Astronaut as she wasn't breathing while talking.

I thought the people chasing the family and trying to retrieve the "magic shrapnel" would turn out to either be aliens, or under mind-control. One of the soldiers had switched sides.

I'm seeing parallels with the recent War of the Worlds series, with story threads in different countries, killer robots/spike monsters, and now attacks from what seem like humans.

Yeah was odd Sam Neill was only in the 1 episode, also been leaked this week that the 2nd season will be called Infiltration so that is a big hint for where the story is going. Also apparently in episode 8 where the soldier was checking out the Kid's book in the Pub, it shows an image of the Aliens who are here trying to protect Earth.

Some interesting stuff on that Reddit with other theories.

I'll need to rewatch the season again and catch stuff i've missed.

[Garrus]

Arcane was spectacular. Was never really familiar with the game and this stands on its own comfortably. Tremendous animation style. Can't wait for a second series.

Someone was saying the 2nd series may not be released until 2024 I bet they will trying to get that speeded up a bit

[Kashinoda]

Arcane was fucking boss.

The intro song needs binning though.

"The Morning Show" is the worst pile of shit I have ever seen in my life.

Season 1 was good. Addressed some issues which were previously not discussed in TV - relationships between co-workers when the balance of power is tilted one way.

Season 2 is a steaming pile of shit and I gave up on it. Goes from a hard-hitting show to a fluff piece about the inner workings of a TV show I couldn't give a fuck about.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Thought the first episode of Impeachment: American Crime Story was decent. Clive Owen almost unrecognisable as Bill Clinton.

I haven’t been able to watch this at a fast enough rate and S3E3 has dropped off the iPlayer with E4 disappearing on Thursday… currently in a race to find E3! Any ideas? Have IPTV but it’s not on there and tried Daily Motion but not there either.

May just have to find a recap episode and skip it but if anyone has any bright ideas please shout!

It certainly was Kash.

but...

NO NO NO.  The theme tune is ace.

Good start to ‘Landscapers’ on Sky. Olivia Colman is fantastic as always. Only 4 episodes in total which are roughly 50 mins long.

The rest of the music in the show is solid though. Especially these two:

I'm four episodes in and enjoying it. Agree with Garrus that you don't need to know anything about the game - the extent of my knowledge is that it's a bit like Dota 2, a game that I player for half an hour and uninstalled.

For me, it's hard to describe the art style - somehow it feels slightly video game-ish, while avoiding coming across as anything like an extended cut scene.

I wouldn't mind the theme song, if not for the fact that I can't stand the lead singer's voice.

Definitely didn't know anything about the game.

I skipped the intro music and have never heard it

Stacey Solomon Sorts Your Life Out is A Life of Grime for millennials who need a heartwarming narrative.

Yeah, the long dialogue scenes had a point and were absolutely crucial to developing the overarching themes. I can see how they would bore people or put them off going further as they are pretty heavy and frequent early on. It felt very old fashioned in that regard, and its something you see less of in modern film making these days, maybe with the exception of Tarantino or the Coen Brothers. The scene you're talking about was very well done, and as you say, impactful. I've not felt that way to an ending of an episode since Game of Thrones was at its peak. The way the sound was kept going after the credits started made it more unsettling.

I finished Midnight Mass last night, and absolutely loved it from start to finish. It's funny to reflect on how heretical the story is when it is so respectful and seemingly credulous towards the Catholic church and its mythology throughout. I liked that the devout are treated as intelligent and empathetic instead of stupid and sanctimonious, that the "heroes" don't cast aside their faith when things start to turn sinister. Also quite clever the way everything ties in with the communion theme. It's really smart horror, one of the best things Netflix has produced.

2: For opening up a whole new world (streaming site) with shows I never even heard of.

Was enjoying the slow burn of Invasion but that finale is taking the piss,  feel like I've totally wasted my time with it.

We just finished watching that, i knew the finale would be a downer, they went the GoT formula of making Episode 9 the best one and the finale a filler episode.

The absolute final shot though looked amazing and did get me looking forward to season 2 which was announced last week that Apple is renewing for another season.

I've come to the conclusion Invasion is The Leftovers of Alien invasion tv shows, any chance that Damon Lindelof was part of this.

Yeah Ymovies has been around for years, it's based in Israel apparently, and they are quite a few versions of Ymovies online i'm guessing to get ahead of the authorities who try to take down streaming sites.

I remember watching the final season of Breaking Bad on Ymovies when i came back from USA and no tv channel was showing it here.

It's good for tv shows that are not on UK tv, like Mr Inbetween which is a show you deffo need to watch, i binged it in early summer on that site, i have to say its the RAWK cult show of 2021.

Huzzah!

Just finished Castlevania. It was fantastic until the last 2 minutes.

Re Midnight Mass … again suffers from the same problem that was the last 2 minutes of Castlevania. Samantha Sloyan was amazing. Rahul Kohli was also amazing. He gets these little roles and then steals the show each time. Plus a massive Red.
