See? I told you.

Sad thing is that I really liked season 1 once it got going.

We are watching of late ....Reacher which I will give 3/5....she looked good in the hot scene .

Next....1923 which is overrated because of the Yellowstone factor thus a 2/5 . Taking forever for anything to happen !!!

On Call...4/5 ....I liked the show . Good cop show .

Long Bright River...it is not terrible but ...3/5.

Bosch Legacy....I'm on episode 5...5/5...it's Bosch !!! Always good stuff !

Dope Thief....not bad....3.5/5 lots of action and violent .

We love the Pitt....5/5 best show by far so far this Winter/Spring . Just watch it...riveting from start to finish !!!

Joan [female jewel thief] was a good British series....3.5/5 .

I also watched an Irish show on two sisters ....IRA drama/set in the early 70's ...I forget the name ....3.5/5 .

Never understood the appeal of Bosch

Just starting MobLand with Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan

 

[majordomo]

MobLand is going to be a good series.

Currently watching This City Is Ours with Sean Bean....it's turning into a good one as well.

The Gilgo Killer now has a Netflix special.

Paramount+. Guy Ritchie doing his UK Sopranos type thing.

So did I .... and I'm used to the "language" as I watch a lot of UK stuff....over time I've discovered that the Irish have the most difficult accents to understand.....much harder than listening to the Scots.

Yes, I think it's really really good if you're a fan of the books

I have and the Benes were my favorites....tried watching this series and it just didn't cut it: too much jumping around.

I've never had such a love/hate relationship with a show as I have with Billions. The first three seasons... I was ready to crown it in my top 3 of all time. Fast forward to the end of season 6 and I feel like it has become a meme. Season 4 was dreadful. Season 5 was worse. Season 6... the show has lost all its mojo.

I'm only going to finish it because I've invested this much time in it. But man... there was virtually nothing like the scene below once season 4 started.

 

[Beliveau]

^ I've only seen the first 3 seasons of Billions.

Then you have seen the best of the best.

Interesting. I think I got used to that form of filming with GoT. Doesn't really bother me.

Not sure where the "jumping around" in GoT occurred or if it even mattered as the storylines (to me) were easy to follow (could you mean there were too many story arcs?). Dune Prophesy is also guilty of that (a few of them I thought were needless)....what bothered me the most were the unexpected jumps into the past and back...I would have sworn a couple of times it happened in the middle of a scene.

GoT jumped between characters nearly every episode and forgot about characters for long stretches at a time. There were flashbacks there too (Three eyed raven, younger versions of Ned, etc...)

They don't really bother me in this show. To each his own I guess.
