Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Rewatches are also great - I want to go back and watch things like Legion, as that’s definitely a show that I feel would give a huge amount of benefit the second-time around. I’m also on my third run of Shorsey which I watch when doing cardio, and that’s only after running through Letterkenny a secondtime.
I saw you mention Justified the other day and hadn’t heard of it, but I’m going to start that soon. Looks like a really cool show, and I love the idea of a neo-western, too.
I just did a Legion rewatch a couple of months ago. That show was art. I honestly pity those who watched it on a low-quality screen or with low-quality non-surround audio, especially the audio. Those people didn’t get the entire audio-visual experience. It’s like when people downloaded rips of Avatar and hated it when it came out rather than going to watch it in 3D at a cinema. I will only watch Legion using my Sony WH1000XM3s for that surround and rich sound, because I don’t have a full surround sound system on my PC or TV. Hearing every maddening whisper, music cue, tone. So good.
God, wasn’t it! For me it’s one of the few shows where you can examine a LOT of it on so many different levels. The art and direction, the choice of style which in of itself is intentionally timeless. The acting was on point. The sheer chaos of some moments… I actually used it for some of my masters’ thesis on exploring the use of the unreliable narrator in speculative fiction.
