Brit Marling is pure quality.

Would love to see her and Damon Lindelof do something together.

Agent Coulson

A couple of new teasers

Starts Novemeber 14th and will be on Hulu or I imagine it will eventually end up on Disney+ here.

Emma Corrin challenging her best Jodie Foster, looks interesting, would prefer a binge watch than weekly with Disney + if it gets it as Hulu

Loved all the Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglilij film collaborations, but couldn't take to the OA series (at least too boring to invest in after a few episodes). Really looking forward this though, with its themes:

"Marling and Batmanglij have so thoughtfully built an inquiry into the consequences of AI and surveillance capitalism within the framework of a whodunit, yielding a mystery both current and timeless".

Agent Coulson

Watched the first two episodes and really enjoyed them looking forward to watching the rest.

Love Brit Marling. First episode was class,

No more I love you. 😀

Watched first two episodes, one of my favourite shows of the year so far. I would 100 percent devour it all in a few days so maybe weekly release isn't a bad thing!

ep 2 why did she go to sleep?

seems to have a habit of that

Agent Coulson

Overall an average enough by the numbers series that was easy enough to work out the ending very qiuckly.

You didn't need to be a genius GenZ amateur detective to figure it out.

Last episode felt a bit er rushed. All a bit standard...I enjoyed it overall and at least it had a coherent ending. For something with some similar themes but imo much much better would recommend Devs.

Spoiler Warning

I Kinda thought it would end up man is bad...so AI bad route and it did. But Zoomed killing people was fun lol.

But....a laptop battery fire taking out an entire server farm protected by super AI (oh and a simple digit access code door)...no site B...no backups...nawwww

ugggh. Had found it too slow after 4 episodes, so was thinking of ditching it, so this tips the balance in favour of moving on. I get the empathy thing with Darby, but it's hardly Hercule Poirot incisiveness called for here. The backstory was interesting enough, but when I have no real interest in who may or may not die in the present, there's no real reason to stay, even for a reveal or some sort.

Had great potential, Darby and Bill’s characters investigating a deadly serial killer would have been interesting

Was very slow and long-distance-meaningful-looks, I like Harris Dickinson and maybe the backstory could have been way more interesting than the actual main story.

5/10

While I did enjoy, it was a tad bit disappointing. Hopefully Marling and Batmanglij don’t wait as long as they did between this and the OA before jumping into a new project.

I've watched the first 2 episodes and liking it so far. I thought the scene of with Darby and Bill driving through at night singing No More I Love You's was great in episode 1.

Late to this show but have really enjoyed it: no it's not necessarily the most mysterious of mysteries - 2 episodes left mind you, though the culprit seems obvious so who knows - yet it has been a really smart modernisation of a genre that has sometimes floated about stuck in the Agatha Christie mould; no this doesn't reinvent the wheel, or subvert it like Knives Out, but it has felt like the show at least wants to evolve the form a little, all while using the creeping anxieties about technology and our apocalyptic fatalism as the launchpad.

Plus I'm just a sucker for any show built on the idea of trapping people inside during a snowstorm or extreme weather event; it's such a great little way to generate drama and paranoia.

That said, I'd also be happy watching a show simply following Derby & Bill's serial killer obsession as well. There's a show in of itself right there.
