TEACUP - Ep.1-2 Recap and Review | Teacup SURPRISED Me!

[@davidduvall1947]

I was completely unaware of this show, so thank you for bringing it to my attention. I can't wait to follow the show and your coverage.

[@NocturnalCritic]

It's a pretty decent show. Let me know your thoughts once you check it out!

[@phatmantv]

1st 4 eps are ... meh. Let's hope episode 5 pulls it all together and then we start the fun.

[@dareelamb1964]

If it somewhat follows the book. There are 2 aliens . The one in the boy and the one hunting it. The hunter is a galactic bounty hunter and it has no issues causing casualties to get what or who it’s after. Stinger is a good book and this looks like it’ll be a good series.

[@eshanmohotty3704]

Did you read the books? Can you tell what’s with the blue line and the man who draws it? I don’t care about the spoilers actually

[@sharksmile7508]

@@eshanmohotty3704 There was no blue line in the book. When the Villain's ship lands, it send out a massive dome forcefield covering the entire town (not just 10 people in the show).

[@soloe8447]

[@dareelamb1964]

@ there is one book called “Stinger”. In the book the line is what cutoff the town from the outside. It’s more like a domed force field. It’s well worth the read.

[@KaylasBestie]

Yes. I plan on watching. You're one of my favorite channels that does recaps. What i especially love is that you also give your opinion. I'm loving what you're doing with FROM, so I KNOW these reviews will be banging ....

Hey Kayla, thank you so much for sticking around and supporting the videos!

Maggie knew who her husband slept with because the oven story was shared.

[@NocturnalCritic]

This is true, I misspoke.

[@jaylove5555]

I think she knew who when the show started. I am pretty sure she caught them. I think she was futher hurt that he shared that story.

[@NocturnalCritic]

@@jaylove5555 Nah, it was definitely the oven story, that’s why she goes off on him the next morning as if she just found out, instead of sooner in the show.

Thank you for the recaps. You are so good at recapitulating TV show episodes. As with other shows you have covered, I have no way of watching this right now, so I'm super grateful to you for all your content. You have a unique gift, and I'm really glad you choose to use it. Thank you!

[@Cyberdine.Systems.Model-101]

Oh my God!!! I just randomly clicked on your video thinking "What the hell's Teacup about? Never heard of it?" only to see the Stinger connection!!!! I've loved that book since it was first released and I've never understood why a movie (or tv series) wasn't made!! I'm so excited right now. Please please please have the old lady in the tunnel scene!!!

[@NocturnalCritic]

Thanks for clicking, and it’s a show with a lot of potential!

[@Goultardtheiopgod]

I just saw an ad for it

[@ikecarr5989]

Robert McCamnon didn't sell his soul to Satan like Stephen King did. This was the first McCammon novel I read ,and loved it to no end. In the era of TV mini series like V, Something Is Out There, and It. Reading it I thought it was prime material for the mini series treatment. Or back in the late Eighties, early Nineties one Hell of a movie right up there with PREDATOR, ALIENS, and TERMINATOR 2. I'm not too wild about the liberties taken with this. But am still curious.

[@yikesyikes5974]

I need to come back to watch this recap. I am about to watch the series now!

[@NocturnalCritic]

Yes, definitely give it a watch! There's some fun things to speculate about in this one.

[@arnoldbrindza7601]

Everything makes sense except for the guy drawing the blue line

[@alexsnow3319]

It's part of the bad writing. It's a neighbor who just so happens to know about the aliens.

[@RW7315-r1v]

I like your humor in the recaps. just finished both episodes and it's pretty good

[@NocturnalCritic]

Glad you like them!

[@YelløwKing666]

I enjoyed the setup of the first two episodes leading into the main storyline and meat of the show. Very very excited about going forward. It’s big lost / from / under the dome vibes.

[@warrick3w881]

First episode had me hooked!! The build up, the pacing , the mystery, animals on edge, people on edge, me on edge like what that hell going on 🤔😂 Am definitely tuning in to this and looking forward to ur breakdowns. I guess not a lot a peoples locked in to this as yet but I get the feeling its gonna catch on quick!

[@yikesyikes5974]

I’m back. I like the show. The appropriate aggravating person was properly taken out. 😂

[@ButlerOTKing]

I'm going to go check this out. I remember seeing the preview, so I'm glad it's out now. Thanks for the reminder 😊

[@mrsreddick4645]

Oh snap! Didn’t realize you also reviewed MGM+ From. Saw that in a comment. Will go search for those videos now 😊

[@amybrown9539]

Oh wow, I didn't know that's what it was about. Read the book back when I was in high school! Swan Song is still one of my favorite books!

[@KaylasBestie]

@amybrown9539 .... SWAN SONG was my book!!! After reading THE STAND, the school librarian turned me on to SS. Think it's time to read again!!

[@Mizzhoneyyy]

Just subbed for your recaps on this one! I’m hooked on Teacup already! ❤

[@NocturnalCritic]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Looshington]

good breakdown vid! Not a bad show I was for sure caught off guard when the dog scene happened. It was a little cliche/slow until that point but i’m fs intrigued now

[@NocturnalCritic]

Thanks!! Yeah, that crazy scene was ridiculous

[@darrellglover2180]

Why do people think if your wife is beautiful, that you wouldn’t have an affair ?

[@dalecollins581]

Did not realize it was based on stinger...I was thinking about the similarities when watching because harbinger reminded me so much of dolphin in the books....craaazy

[@mikegill-zo5ij]

The best new show since From.

[@stuartbagley2586]

I read Stinger in high school back in the 80s, but am drawing a blank on what happened. I remember Swan Song much better.

Great video and AWSOME recap I am hooked and love the show

[@NocturnalCritic]

Thank you, I definitely plan to cover the whole season

[@AshleyB0422]

Watched this when you mentioned it and im intrigued. It was kimda slow in the beginning but it ramps up and then it felt like they were trying to cram in alot of info real quickly that i hope they explain more. Absolutely loved the way they used special effects for the deaths and that really made me go WTF 😂 literally when the dog got thrown over the line me and my partner had te exact same reaction the husband did 😂 them the sign domt trust anyone really got me to.

[@44excalibur]

Robert McCammon was the poor man's Stephen King back in the 1980s. Stinger, Swan Song, Usher's Passing, Baal, They Thirst, The Wolf's Hour, The Night Boat, etc. Ghosts, demons, elder gods, vampires, werewolves, zombies, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, you name it, McCammon wrote about it.

[@NocturnalCritic]

Thanks for the insight here!

[@hoffafiles]

It's been baffling to me how McCammon's books haven't been made into shows/movies before. Stinger was the first book of his I read in the late 80s, and even thought it is only loosely based, I've been excited for this and to see how they changed the book elements.

[@bethberry7599]

Thanks for the great review, I enjoy your recaps of From as well. I plan on watching this show it has similarities to From. I thought Arlow was a gonner and I was like oh shit they gonna kill a kid out the gate like From? but they changed it up a little. Can't wait to see where this goes!

[@NocturnalCritic]

Thanks Beth! I think it’s going to end up being something people will like by the end.

[@kikynessanez5060]

Hi, Nocturnal! Red Kiky here! I never knew about that book And I like to read a lot haha Well, I'm I Uruguay, so maybe this author is not well promoted here? Don't know SO... This series looks cool Maybe I'll put on my "to watch" list I might wait until you breakdown a couple more episodes, just to have more story developed to engage with PD: Saw 'Salem's Lot 2024 last night. I didn't see it as a remake but more a different adaptation to the novel I do prefer the novel over all 3 adaptations, but as for now of those 3 the 2004 is the closest to the novel (and it have Rutger Hauer and Donald Sutherland!) So, I gave it a 7.5/10 I actually liked a lot Gonna wait your next videos eagerly for more breakdowns! Oh! And I'm gonna be here for your next FROM video, episode 4 will be INTENSE!

[@NocturnalCritic]

Hey Red Kiky, thanks, I really appreciate it! FROM is going to get crazier this season for sure, and yeah, definitely stick around because Teacup is actually pretty decent

[@BloodandSoilNS]

I'm enjoying this show so far. It's rare to find something nowadays without some lefty political messaging.

[@lindawebb5379]

Peacock

[@alexsnow3319]

It's a magic line. People who leave get killed but are immune to the same powers before entering. It's a weak plot device, poor writing. The assassin has the ability to kill anyone outside the protective area, but ONLY if leaving the area. Somehow no one outside is affected until then.

[@Dufus_Puncher]

From the future. The first 2 episodes don’t tell the story…. The next 92 episodes also don’t tell the story.

[@TheChevmeister]

I thought this was related to From

[@mobb3307]

So far this series just annoyed me with its pacing. Why did they do the thing where characters sit around and have a chat with a measly runtime of 30mins. So many weird things happening and yet the characters don't act like it. I'm just going to forget about this series for a few weeks till it finishes, I can't watch series like these week by week, don't have the patience to be strung on along by a mystery that won't probably be even solved in this season.

[@NocturnalCritic]

[@vengefulbeauty]

I'm feeling meh about this show. Honestly, the first two episodes could've been one, hence the reason I think they released them at the same time. Gonna give it to episode 3 to really get going, but so far, not feeling this show.

[@NocturnalCritic]

It’s kind of a slow burn, it’s crazy saying that since the end of Ep. 2 is so nuts, but info wise it kinda is. My personal suggestion is give it to episode 4 or 5, and if you’re still not feeling it then it’s probably one you won’t like.

[@vengefulbeauty]

@NocturnalCritic Oh yes, it got interesting towards the end of episode 2 and i don't mind a slow burn if it's leading up to something. I hope I eventually feel like you about it. I wanna like it since I was excited by the previews but I feel like I'm watching a different show so far.

[@archeanchaos-s4c]

I watched the first episode and I just couldn't it. These people just make really stupid decisions. How can you have a kid get lost on his own property? We owned alot of acreage when I was younger and me and my brothers were always in the woods. we always had a general idea of what to do if we felt lost. Why would dad go off looking with the girl he' had affair with to look for son, is he trying to get caught. Plus his acting just felt really off to me. And I just didn't like the direction for the daughter and grandma, seemed like they were trying to do the edgy cool think with both and didn't feel real. I was super interested in this show because I saw alot of advertisements for it and I love horror, but I will probably not watch anymore.
