Pachinko, Apple TV+’s Unsung Hero, Makes a Remarkable Return
portside.org
Pachinko’s beauty lies in its attention to detail. This is a TV show determined to utilize its visual space completely, so the camera purposefully lingers on facial expressions and landscapes, finding meaning in mundane chores like cooking, eating, and driving. It makes Apple TV+’s drama inherently immersive, a necessity because the show jumps across years, viewpoints, languages, and countries.

    Apple TV puts out some good stuff, foundation and severance were both excellent. I enjoy pirating their content

      foundation

      as someone who's read the books, I fucking love the show, and enjoy imagining Isaac Asimov rolling in his grave as his characters are rewritten to actually be multidimensional people and the story's fashione dinto something a bit more cohesive, with many of the main characters being non-white and/or non-men.

      Severance is getting a season 2 and apparently it's the most expensive TV show ever made.

        Budget for season 1 was insane considering the entire series took place in an office

      Severance was neat (though it's also an incomplete story so I have to reserve judgement in case S2 fucks it all up), but as someone who was a big fan of the books, I really disliked Foundation.

        It varies drastically from the books so if you're a huge fan of the books I can see why foundation could be unappealing
