Excellent!
It seems weird. Another show I will never watch because I cannot afford 3.000 different streaming services.
It does look good, but same about streamers… if it’s on a service I don’t have, I wait for the DVDs to come out…
I just found this on a streamer I can access. I’m late to the party, but it looks good after one episode.
Where is comedy central’s stuff streaming? Disney? Amazon?
Crave, Bell Canada’s streamer. They actually have a decent range of stuff from HBO, Showtime, and Starz. They have The Righteous Gemstones, which I enjoyed.
Anyone watching this? Definitely raises the average ppm (penises per minute) count for non-porn entertainment.
I started watching it when it came out but my children were younger then and they got bored/left so I didn’t finish. They’re older now and it is unfortunately still very relevant…
Given the complaints that the director Mohammad Diob had about how Cairo is regularly portrayed as a backwater (most recently, apparently in WW 1984) how did it look? Like the major, megapolis it is today?
Unless I missed something, we did not see Cairo in the first episode.
It was mostly in London, with some action scenes in a village in the mountains in a German speaking country. (Everyone was speaking English, but it looked like a village in the Alps, and a shop had a sign that read Apotheke.)
It was only the first ep; it mainly took place in London.
Ah! Gotcha…
I rather like Oscar Isaac so I’m in. Might give it a few weeks and then binge it all over a weekend.
Tom Cruise as Iron Man
I’d rather see the Charlie Cox Daredevil than Ben Affleck’s. But Charlie just did a turn as Matt Murdoch in the new Spiderman flick, so he’s definitely in the main universe now.
Maybe we’ll get to see him Jessica Jones & Luke Cage on the big screen?
As long as they don’t recast the roles…
Recast them? Sacrilege!
If I were a teacher for teenagers, I would use this cartoon to “explain” some of the mess that our world is in my hypothetical geography or history classes. Of course it’s a cartoon, nothing deep or elaborate, but it serves as a starting point for many things. And as it has a family, with problems but functional, facing the consequences of religion/politics/war/ I believe it would allow my hypothetical students to identify with the characters.
