[Kiyoshi-Dono]

This shyt was good..
Don’t know what you nikkas on
But I understand some of the sentiments
Emma Stone is an excellent actress brehs..
And I might be bias just because she is my favorite Causcasian actress..

Spoiler: Action

Brie better watch out..Emma outchea pulling off Tomb Raider action scenes
Marvel might recast

My dude Jonah Hill did his thing too..
I thought breh was pretty solid
Justin Theroux irritates the shyt out of me
Dr.Azumi
I like weird looking chicks..
Don’t judge me and I liked her character
Sally Field
Overall 9/10..
Just that one episode that kinda started off slow but other then that

Dr. Fujita was lowkey beautiful

Dr. Fujita was lowkey beautiful

She was pretty funny. I loved it when she and Dr Mantleray both went to sleep in the machine and said goodnight - Waltons style.
She rolled up in that mug steady smoking!

Sonoya mizuno got next. At least I hope she does. She's becoming a bit of a "that girl" though. I've literally seen tons of things she's been in the past few years but didn't recognize her.


Very excited to see her in devs. Alex Garland's new Sci fi show

This shyt was doomed from the start, knowing that Fukunaga's creative autarchy was sacrificed (once again), with Netflix's algorithm for viewership seemingly being the straw that broke the camel's back - let's hope he hasn't lost his powers forever and ever. Amen. Needless to say, unless he gets to do something that's idiosyncratically all his, I'll be hesitant to check for anything with his name attached to it in the future.

This show, theoretically, was the cutting room floor of the first drafts of Jonze's Her and Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy, and when Stone was doing her very best to keep its head above water to give it an opportunity to half-bake them - Hill drowned it.

On a side note, i dunno why people like how shows like this are filmed and portrayed. Like save all the corny unique crap and just execute it in a normal way. No one cares that people at starbucks are giving ur shows 10 star reviews and think its a masterpiece because its "different"....thats exactly what this show appeals to

What's a "normal" way? The lens that you've been conditioned to look through from? You shouldn't be waving your stick of critique over how a story is told - - each and every one has their own unique creative lining(s) and perspective - it should come down to how well they tell a story.

Story was trash

am at episode 8, lost as fukk. is there a reddit thread explaining this shyt

 

[sjankis630]

Try this timeline Breh. I would send you to the recap I started - got through episode 8 but quit - but I don't think you would want to spend the time.
This takes the episodes in the order that everything happens vs how the episodes are but it could help.
A Timeline Of "Maniac" That Won't Nearly Be As Confusing As "Maniac" Itself

 

[Sccit]

I DONT SEE HOW ITS CONFUSING? SHIIT WAS PRETTY SIMPLE TO ME .. I LIKE THE OVERALL MESSAGE, EVEN THO THE EXECUTION WAS ALL
OVER THE PLACE. MY GIRL HATED IT, BUT I DIDNT THINK IT WAS BAD.

ALSO, LOL @ FLIP FROM WHITEBOYZ BEIN IN THIS

 

[SunZoo]

Took me a minute to really click with the show, now that it's over I kind of want to watch it again.

 

[Rozay Oro]

I enjoyed it but some things could've been done better. 7/10

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

Rewatching this. So good.

This show was crazy slept on. I blame Netflix things get buried on that platform too easily.
