What's considered the golden age now, is that the BB era?

yeah game of thrones finishing signified the end of that era

It started with The Sopranos debut.

This is a good article about it: pastemagazine.com/tv/the-golden-age-of-television/the-golden-age-of-television-is-officially-over

I would've liked to see that show HBO was gonna do about the Confederates winning the civil war. I don't really view that type of stuff as "white man's fantasy p***" as people on Twitter like to say. I don't necessarily want to see black people depicted in a demeaning way, but I do like the idea of exploring alternate realities. I enjoyed Amazon's 'The Man In The High Castle' for similar reasons.

Personally with Confederates alternate history, I think the biggest thing it would potentially have showcased is how similar it parallels to actual history.

feel like i havent watched a really good show since Mr Robot ended.

Every animated TV show is the exact same

(Some exceptions)

crude humor with the same animation style?

Exactly

I'd say the golden age was the era when premium networks (hbo, showtime, etc) were still somewhat of a "luxury" in the cable television market. Not every one had them, and if they did it was problem only one or two of them. Back when hotels would put "free HBO" on their roadsigns as selling point for why you should rent a room there over other places.

If you just look at HBO's lineup from the late-90s to mid-2000s alone it's pretty crazy how many incredible and acclaimed shows were happening on a single network at the same time, and these were mostly shows that ran for at least several years too: Sopranos, The Wire, Oz, Entourage, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Big Love, S***and the City... And HBO also had the absolutely classic America Undercover multi-doc series (Taxicab Confessions, Autopsy, and Real Sex) airing during that same period.

And Showtime wasn't slacking during that era either.

Over the past decade though, it seems like most major networks combined have barely managed to put out as many universally championed TV series overall (i'm not so sure they actually have tbh), let alone a single network being responsible for anywhere near that amount of iconic programs.

Finally watched There Will Be Blood.

That s*** was trash

Minoroty Report and the Matrix are in the top 10 of all time scifi movies anyway you slice it. I don't care what you say

same humor with crude animation style

i see what you’re saying but that was just the beginning of the era tbh

It was the era. Compare that hbo's lineup during that stretch, and their lineup after it/now. Or any lineup on amy network or streaming service since then.

There is literally no comparison. The quality to quantity ratios during and after that period is night and day. After that time, people just started deluding themselves into believing a handful of prominent, painfully mid tv shows were somehow on par with anything that came before them. (Likely because they started watching tv seriously as a teenager when the newer shows were gaining traction, they have no actual reference point to true quality programs.)

I think I remember peeping a few secs of Real S***on accident back in the day

All 3 of those america underground series were truly incredible tbh. Theres really nothing else like on tv now.

Even HBO Max doesnt have TCC or Real S***(or any of their softcore/TV-MA content for that matter) because they've transitioned from "premium luxury" to extremely common.

They still have Autopsy available i believe tho

But do you like PTA's other films tho? i feel like he's an acquired taste and i would understand if you couldn't get into his films

I like it a lot but it's bottom tier Nolan for me

Inception TDK Dunkirk top 3

Haven’t seen his other movies, so you may be right

I think Boogie Nights and Punch Drunk Love are his most accessible. They're also my favorites which doesn't really mean anything but still, worth a shot if you're still interested in giving him a chance

Also helps that everything he puts out is god tier

I can barely make it past one season on most TV shows. I don't know how y'all stick with it. Consistent quality is rare.

Fast Five >>>>> Goodfellas

Dark is massively overrated.
Not because I think it's too complex for me, but because it's boring. At last season 3
