Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

With the whole Hollywood strike going on it got me thinking - there is SO much content that if something weird were to happen whereby no more movies or TV shows were to ever be made, I’d be fine with the sheer amount of content that has been generated up to this day. Like, if some weird, I don’t know, space temporal displacement happened whereby Hollywood (or hell, anyone - BBC, Australian TV, etc.) were able to make anything else then there is enough content available for a lifetime regardless.

Obviously in saying that it would mean an entire industry would be out of work permanently… so this hypothetical situation has massive economic pressures as well. But still… this strike could go on for years and I’d still be playing catch up.

The sad truth is there isnt much interesting coming out these days either. The current season of the Witcher is almost unwatchable. Secret Invasion is “Meh” at best. Silo was disappointing. I couldn’t tell you the last thing we loved, beyond probably Picard? But even that had a horrible first 2 seasons. Grand Tour Eurocrash was ok. I am excited about Thank God You’re Here though.

New Jack Ryan isn’t that bad. Strange Worlds is fine. Prime seems to be doing the best shows at the moment.

I didn’t even know the new Witcher season came out. Giving it a miss for reasons.

I didnt even know Jack Ryan had a season 3. Thats queued up on… things. For the Witcher do you want me to recap the season for you? I’m only 3 eps in but so far its a bunch of sour looks and characters shouting “Ciri!” “Geralt!” Yen!" and the occasional quip for Jask. There you go, now you’ve missed nothing!

S3 was my favourite one. Really good cat and mouse setup with betrayals all over the place.

S4 is more action than anything only six eps. Probably could have used 2 or 3 more to flesh out the story, cause the entire thing is massively rushed. Still worth a watch.
