I just found out about this show.  I can't believe I missed out on this one.  There are lots of great shows out there that didn't get much of a spotlight because they got overshadowed by big hits.

That looks like a fake poster.

I do not understand the appeal of any of those actors, and I can mostly guess the names of two of them.

I think I recognized one of them when I googled. Barry Corbin I think was in Northern Exposure.

For a moment i was confused.

Walter Blanco.  From Metástasis.  Great show.

Guy on the right from Rogue One?

Yep.  Dune, as well.  Josh Brolin.

So, would Gurney Halleck be worried if he met Thanos?

Well, it's here, Glitch's new show, Gaslight District (it was never called that, you made it up because you're crazy)

I'm going to be totally honest with you guys, I'm not a huge fan of this one.

No offense if you are, it definitely has a...how do I put this...Toxic Avenger vibe that really puts me off.  Especially when eating while watching.  And bear in mind that I love Murder Drones, so I can handle some gore.  It's just kinda grotesque.

While I sort of like the premise of an immortal but decaying human society, there's a certain way to handle that (*cough* Warframe *cough*) and bread guy and butcher-knife-in-head guy are not it.  It's also a major break from Glitch's standard formula of cute and adorable characters, but with dark and disturbing themes.  And also almost every previous Glitch show featured advanced technology and a "glitch" of some sort - Metarunner is about futuristic pro gaming with literal glitches being exploited, Murder Drones is about robots with the explanation that improperly deactivated robots could glitch out and become monstrous (not necessarily what actually happened), and TADC is about being stuck in a virtual world and trying to stay safe and sane through a web of friendship (glitches are exploited here too, like ramming a truck into the terrain to fall into the developer room).  This is the first show that isn't cutesy at all.  And the second one to not involve glitching, iirc.

I don't really see any personality to many of the main characters - we get a little for Butcher and Mel, but it's not a whole lot to work with.  Compare and contrast to literally any other Glitch show pilot and it's not great.  TADC in particular is hugely better with a lot of personalities on full display.  Or Murder Drones, which not only introduced us to the main characters, who are very different, but two characters who start significant character arcs by the time the first episode wraps up.  Now that's how you pilot!

On a technical level, the animation is amazing, but the plot and characters don't really grab me.  Sorry.

Not feeling it. Gave up 40 seconds in.

Righteous Gemstones. LOOL I've just seen the first 2 eps, but looks pretty good.

I've enjoyed The White Lotus, too. But that one looked like they have made it to make the audience feel good about rich people. Lol.
