I’m watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (M:LOM) which is in the midst of its second season on AppleTV.
And…my partner finally conceded to give the show a try. So, I’m rewatching season one with them. They say, based on being in the middle of season one that it’s the thing they’re enjoying most on tv just now.
While M:LOM does have creatures and kaiju battles, like the best Star Trek, the show’s emphasis is on its diverse characters and their stories.
The show has all the high quality we’ve come to expect of both AppleTV and Legendary Entertainment (Dune) science fiction productions.
M:LOM is designed as an entry point for those unfamiliar with the Monsterverse continuity or the 70+ year Godzilla franchise more generally. The action shifts back and forth between telling the stories of two generations: one in the mid 2010s and the other in the 1950s. It works well as it comes together at the end of season one.
If the show works for you, please check out our newest community https://startrek.website/c/monsterverse.
Oh, that's another show I'm holding out on watching until the current season is finished airing.
I sort of liked the first season despite the heavy "daddy issue" trope. I was hoping that would decrease with that s1 ending,
but
looks like Kurt Russell is still in the cast?Season two is interesting.
Among other things, the two youngest Randas are in very contrasting places psychologically since Kentaro has had two years between seasons while Cate is dealing with the reality that others have had time to move on psychologically and she has not. (I really like season two Kentaro.)
Interesting. But I'm also curious about the new kaiju you wrote about over in the Godzilla community. Metaphor for manmade climate change, huh?
I was going to watch it but I got sick of Apple putting a teaser before every other episode I watched like for a whole week and I got sick of it. you just showed to me 40 minutes ago. do you really have to show it to me again? so annoying.
It sounds like you might prefer to wait until the season is over and binge it.
The teasers and featurettes are the way Apple tries to create social media buzz rather than relying on the YouTubers to manufacture their own trailers.
That’s happening anyway, and there’s a it of AI slop. For those who want that stuff, my preference is to post the official ones.
