The Michael Mann directed pilot episode was superb, Ken Watanabe is a tour de force Japanese actor.
The rest of the episodes were OK, although I took heed to the fact that the series ended without any resolution to the main plot and that the Japs in general are mean to the "Gaijins" (foreigners)
Though constrained by rights issues it is more faithful to tolkien than Peter Jackson butchery of the books, (which both Christopher Tolkien and the society don't approve of)Finished The Boys season 3 recently and thought it was excellent yet again.
Done 2 episodes of Ring of Powers and I have no clue what is going on as it’s too disjointed and I can’t warm to any characters so far. Does this get any better?
We’ve one left and I’ve really enjoyed it. Like you say very relevant with Russia / Ukraine and NATO etc and a good watch.Jack Ryan season 3 on Prime, I liked it and it’s seems very relevant to todays sit in Ukraine, I don’t know if it was written before or as it started.
Just finished watching Kaleidoscope on Netflix.
So so so good. Literally keeps you with questions about how everything worked until the very final frame.
Really good.
Spoiler alert………I’m about to start it but I’ve heard that different perspectives can be taken by watching the episodes in various orders (by design) . .
Needless to say, this is not something that I’m used to so I must ask, which episode order did you watch it in and, if you were to watch it again, with the benefit of hindsight, which order would you watch it in.
Thanks in advance.
Spoiler alert………
Takes me all my time and concentration to follow normal series without confusing random episodes…….;-)Really?
I’ve spoilt it about as much as mentioning that there might be vikings in The Vikings would.
You do of course understand that it’s deliberately designed to be watched in any order (except the last episode obviously) - it’s advertised as such - the ‘any order thing’ is it’s USP - it’s what draws people in.
Added to that, I’ve not mentioned a button about what goes on therein (would be difficult as I’ve not even started to watch it yet) so how can that be a spoiler?
Badly off target spoiler alert . . . . ;-)

From reading the Kaleidoscope thread on here and various bits on t'internet, the general consensus from those that have completed it are:I’m about to start it but I’ve heard that different perspectives can be taken by watching the episodes in various orders (by design) .
which order would you watch it in.
No it isn't. Jackson's adaption undoubtedly took liberties, but as someone who's a Tolkien fanboy, Rings of Power is an embarrassment.Though constrained by rights issues it is more faithful to tolkien than Peter Jackson butchery of the books, (which both Christopher Tolkien and the society don't approve of)
If you liked the the films and and are going to compare it to them or game of thrones then you probably will find it hard to watch, if you want a complex complete fantasy tale then you will enjoy the storytelling though paced to last
Started watching Yellowstone. Seems ok, anyone watch it all? Worth sticking with?
I’m hooked thanks to those who recommendedWell I loved it watch one season and if you not hooked don’t bother with it
Hi mate,I’m about to start it but I’ve heard that different perspectives can be taken by watching the episodes in various orders (by design) . .

Yeah. It’s watchable without being brilliant.Anyone watching "Willow "?
Half way through episode 2 but don't think I will get to the end, load of crap.
The film was OK but this series in my opinion is crapYeah. It’s watchable without being brilliant.
Some odd production choices: “I’m going to kick your ass”, isn’t very fantasy and great song though it is, “Enter Sandman” at the end of Episode 3, whilst suiting the scene, is an odd choice for a fantasy show. But I suppose we’re not meant to take it too seriously.
