TV Series

The finale of Succession was absolutely incredible, for anyone who watches
I was waiting for episode ten like the previous seasons, thought it ended funny myself.
I think it should have ended this series myself. There isn’t actually much of a story going on to spread it over ten (or even just 9) episodes, it just goes round and around. Great acting though. Just hope it doesn’t descend into another Billions - is that still going? When actors start leaving a show and they are forced into rewriting plot lines it loses something and Succession needs to get to a finale with the same original central cast before that happens.
 
The Witcher Season 2 is out on Netflix. I watched the first episode and it was fantastic. Unfortunately I'd forgotten the backstory since it's been so long since I watched the first season... and so I'm binge watching the first season now.

Witcher is, IMO, quite a bit better than Wheel of Time but not quite as good as Game of Thrones. If you like fantasy/magic/mayhem/and the occasional moment of wry humor, I think you'll enjoy Witcher.
I think the second season is even better than the first. Watched most of it yesterday. It's less episodic and more a flow of story line.

Think there’s some pacing issues and it’s a series that is more about setting up to come as much as anything else.

I actually thought the first episode was the strongest of the lot, even though it was the most episodic.

Agree. First episode is a cracker and self contained. The other episodes need and feed from each other. Cracking story lines even if the acting can be wooden at times (see what I did there?)
 
Watched Landscapers. 4 episodes, in length with the girl out of Peepshow. The nazi dad from the boy with the striped pyjamas is in it too. Offbeat and entertaining.
 
It’s beautiful, if not rushed at times for obvious reasons….

This, like all great shows, can be watched backed, regardless of knowing the ending, as you invariably see something new when doing so…. Enjoy!
Agree about this season feeling a bit rushed at times - I’m up to episode 8 now and I think there has been enough for two seasons rather than just the one.

Think it’s the best season since the first - but nothing will ever get close to season 1.
