TV Series

Don't know what else to say about Watchmen apart from the last 3 eps have got IMDB ratings of 9.3, 9.3 and now 9.6. This week's was just the craziest, best sci-fi I've seen on TV, every bit as powerful, dramatic, well thought out, and extraordinary as the very very best episodes of DS9 or TNG. It's also working extremely well as a series with every part fitting together and things unfolding in a really cool way. Imagine a 10 part TNG season finale. Top TV. Absolutely top.
 
Finally catching the first series of 'Succession'.

It's interesting, not amazing and some of the writing is extremely poor, but some of the comedy is excellent.

I find it a real mish-mash of things.

I think I'm on ep5 and I hope it finds its feet.

BTW, if you're interested in the mode of holding power in the face of deterioration, I recommend 'Boss' from 2011/2012.

Only made two series, but it's essential viewing, imho.

Watched season one of V Wars it was ok 6/10 think season 2 will be better if not cancelled.

You are too generous. Watched like 4 or 5 episodes. And then couldn't take it anymore. Though the acting and dialogue were both awful. And the protagonist wasn't a very believable scientist.

Yeah understand that I nearly chucked it but Kept thinking something is going to change there has to be. Saying second season be better is a bit if a give away that something did happen.
 
Mandalorian was good again.

I think it needs a big issue to happen soon. If i had a choice, a fresh new threat and not one linked to his past. This way you could have the current style with an extra twist that gives a sense of urgency, the current season arc is in slight danger of becoming stale. Baby Yoda gets poisoned for example and is put into some sort of coma, Mando has to get to some planet with the right herbs to fix Yoda. A flash back to how Yoda ended up where he was when Mando found him possibly. I enjoy the show, i just don't want it to go stale, any show is at risk of that.

It started off well first couple of episodes but I'm starting to think they've spunked the budget on those and it's now turned into a generic shite sci-fi show.
That devil type alien thing in the last one about summed up where it's at now, shame looked to have potential.

An absolute waste of Clancy Brown's acting skill.

I really want you to be wrong but i fear you may be spot on. Yeah that devil dude was just the worst, espesh just after he did those 2 droids. I was being generous with "good again" if i'm honest with myself.

The originality has been sucked out pretty quick. The exploration of the Dark side, anything. They may have someone with the dark side of the force as a series climax but that would suck because we have had nothing to know so far. Carl Weathers is the seeming bad guy for the season and it is weak or tedious, not sure which, possibly a bit of both. We need to have more information of the repurcussions should Weathers get Yoda, where is he taking him, a hint of their goals etc. So far we have seen what is seemingly his (Weathers) personal best at the end of episode 3. We need more risk and threat because the show seems to be running out of originality already.

They may do as i note above or similar story wise but it is going to be drawn out to hell going by current pacing.

It can recover and i hope it does. It has gone from great to good, now it is staring in the face of "ok".

Yeah I really wanted it to be good.... Once they turned up on Tattoine again I knew it was fucked.
The last three episodes have been pointless and you're right there's no stakes

There's a chance there was about three films worth of decent material in the Star Wars universe and it was used up thirty years ago.
 
Just started reprisal. Very interesting so far.

all episodes available


think this is gonna be one of the best this year
