Great TV series - What are you watching now?

Just started The Old Man. Liking it so far. Can't go wrong with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow imo. We'll see how it goes.

If you like that, you'd probably enjoy Mr Inbetween.

I'm going to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just finished the 1st part of this season of Stranger Things, the acting and writing seems like a kids show compared to the other seasons.

walking dead. just finished season 4. very very few dead spots (lol) in four seasons, really great. i do wish i could get past how zombies without any lungs can make noise, and without a heart to pump blood, how cells can survive.

So if you're getting hung up on those inaccuracys I think you're missing the point of Walking Dead.

Started watching Dopesick on Hulu yesterday. Good show with very good casting.

We'd need to study zombie remains to fully understand what's going on there, still tough at this point.

You have maybe one season before it gets repetitive and drawn out.

I was going to say that as well. My wife and I watched maybe 5 seasons and it started getting ridiculous with the repetitive story lines. How many times do these folks need to crash a car while driving down a country road with no other traffic only to find themselves in the midst of zombies?

For me it's the whole "Who is the next bad guy" routine. It should have ended with Neegan, after that, the talkers, that's where it went to shit.

I liked Neegan, but even grew tired of that after a while. I think that's when we packed it in.

100% this. the whisperers story line is where the show absolutely lost me.

bosstones · 06-27-2022, 01:15 PM

Finished S4, Part 1 of Stranger Things. Interesting how they are exploring 11's past and tying it into things but still seems to be jumping the shark.

Started S3 of Umbrella Academy. I was wondering how Ellen vs Elliott Page would fold into the storyline. Although obvious when it came up, it wasn't overplayed and the story kept moving along. Nicely done.

I agree - the best episodes/seasons of TWD were the early ones. The Negan storyline was way too dragged out and I think the show lost its way in those middle seasons. Having said that, I have actually stuck with it and am up to date on the final Season 11 - waiting to see how the whole thing concludes! (well - until the rumoured films come out, I guess...)

NoMoreVauxhalls · 06-27-2022, 03:25 PM

Signed up for a 7 day trial of Paramount+ (here in the UK) to check out "The Man Who Fell to Earth". Have to say I enjoyed the first three episodes that I watched over the weekend; it has some great visuals and CGI. Looking forward to the next episodes and would recommend at this point.

I gave up a few episodes after Rick was gone. Was dedicated for a while.

I stopped watching after the tiger died. It just seemed Every season was a rehash of the previous season. New tough bad guy, doesn't seem like they could beat him, find a way to beat the bad guy, lose a couple of main characters. Neegan wasn't that different from the governor.

I'm gonna pile on TWD too, think I'm stuck on s11, just waiting for some summary video to pop up on YT haha. Same stuff, gets tiring, I know they wanna make more money and so it drags on but I lost interest cuz it just got boring.
