Film Club
https://static.next-episode.net/tv-shows-images/huge/film-club.jpg

Every Thursday. 9pm. Tom and Evie watch a film together in her garage. Evie lovingly decorates the space to match the film of the week - from a yellow brick road for The Wizard of Oz to a space craft for Alien. It's magical. They're there for the love of the movies. Or at least, that's what they tell themselves.

I like it, but not for what it's supposed to be....the whole "Film Club" theme is completely run into the ground.
I imagined them using the weekly film to immerse themselves into the story / fictional world and deal with the current issue in the way the story would've done. I even expected clips from the movies to state their famous quotes....something like that.
This is not it, apart from some preparation and cosplay the films are barely part of the story. Really disappointing.

On the other hand it does pretty good on the characters and their emotional issues and how they are dealt with. Especially Evie's story and acceptance + support of friends & family is done pretty well imho. Alone for that, I am going to keep watching.

Deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: Film Club

I quite enjoyed it.
It's not something you need to think about.

DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

Re: Film Club

Finished the season.

The premise got completely lost towards the end, but since that wasn't what kept me watching, that's ok...which is still sad since it had a lot of potential.

The focus was always put on the romance which took over the entire show towards the end...the conclusion though didn't feel very satisfying to watch.

As I mentioned before I really like the characters and their interactions. They are quick-witted, fun and well written. I think my favorite character was the Mother.

I don't think it will have another season though which I am OK with.
