TV Series

Started Bosch this week.

Watched first season, just approaching the end of Season 2.

Good but in a meh way. Not blown away but not bored either. On the good side of meh.

Not sure im fussed about 5 more seasons though, or does it get better?

It’s the slow methodical way the show is with the good writing acting I love about the show. If you don’t like that type of show don’t bother with the rest of it..
 
So lots of material available. Can they weave it into something that is engaging and coherent. I have never yet managed reading the Silmarillion front to back.
Here's hoping, they have paid a fortune for the rights but they completely screwed up wheels of time

there are some great stand alone stories in the Silmarillion. Its wether Amazon can bind them together into a coherent and engaging narrative. Its a big ask and I have to say they dont have a track record which inspires confidence. Now if the thing had been produced by HBO......

I thought the first season was average then it gets better as it goes on. If you've enjoyed it enough up to the end of season 2 I would stick with it.
It really starts to hit its stride in seasons 3 and 4 IMO.
 
Just finished 'The Lazarus Project' and quite enjoyed it. Wouldn't really say it was great and nowhere near as good as say 'Dark', but it was easy watching and enjoyable. Hopefully they do a series 2 but kind of get the feeling it will drift aimlessly in the way many of these type series do. Fingers crossed for it as has good potential.
 
Skip season two, it is a big disapointment and not worth the hours.

Go straight to season 3
I think S2 is actually worth a watch and, if it was a stand-alone series, would probably be better thought of.

It’s writing and plot was a bit muddled but there were still some decent performances, particularly from Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly. Although the casting of Vince Vaughan was a mistake.

The biggest problem S2 faced was that it followed S1.

It was always going to struggle in comparison with S1 which was sensational TV and for me is up there with The Wire and The Sopranos amongst the best TV of the past 20-30 years.
