Part of me feels I need to watch the last season again for a refresher. Part of me thinks that's a terrible idea. It will be interesting to see him in a different environment than South FL though. The snow could pose some interesting challenges and no ocean to drop bodies. Throwing it out there that it ends with his son killing him.
Don’t fucking watch the last season. In fact, just watch the first four instead and remind yourself of how awesome it was when they kept the original showrunner. Before the show rotted and died on the vine.
I got through two and a half episodes of "Cocaine Cowboys" on Netflix last night, and can suggest it for a filler. The 2006 documentary is insanely good, and this show focuses on a different set of kingpins that lasted well into the 90's, as opposed to the Colombians who started a bit more in the 1970's.
Just stumbled across a 2019 series from Cinemax, called Warrior... about a Chinese "warrior" who comes "across the salt" to San Franciso. I'm 5 episodes in and am enjoying it. Anyone else watch it?
I’ll believe it’s good when I see it. It’s not easy to like a show that died on the vine so horribly. The final four seasons of the show were a disgrace compared to the first four.
Showtime has a bad history of doing this to shows. They let successful franchises run on for close to a decade after a show hits its peak. They did it to Ray Donovan and Shameless too. Whereas HBO cancels good shit too quickly. Like Rome and Deadwood.
Just started watching the BBC Dracula show on Netflix. Only halfway thru the first episode, they are very long, but I'm glad because it is really enjoyable. And hey, they cast a guy for Jon who can act! It is told from his perspective after escaping. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for something new to watch.
You’re going to be surprised where it goes. Whether you like it or not is up to you, the first two put spins on Stoker’s novel, then the third episode has potential but goes off with what I thought were genuinely stupid twists and a lousy fucking ending. But, other people liked it. I liked it until the third episode.
Just finished ep 2. Definitely going somewhere... Different. Hubs is over the show so I'll probably watch it solo. He says it feels a lot like Sherlock with tons of leaps of logic that annoy him.
I have heard good things. But I have also read they butchered the subtitles horribly. That changed a lot of what the message of the show is supposed to be about.
I did not know that it was the most watched show on Netflix, but I did keep seeing it advertised on their home screen. I've also seen memes online referencing it but did not understand until I saw the show. The version I saw was dubbed over and the speech is clear enough to not need subtitles in my opinion. I'll have to read about difference of messaging once I've seen the whole thing. I don't want to spoil anything.
Anyone watching the AppleTV adaption of Foundation? Just finished the first episode, and I'm liking it. It's been years (decades) since I've read the original material, so can't speak at all to how well it follows the original books, but I'm quite liking it so far.
I haven't read the books yet though I probably will when this is over but through the episodes that are out I do like it. They seem to jump around a bit, not unlike the Witcher season 1 but it's more obvious after a bit so no big deal there. The CGI budget must be massive, visually it's pretty stunning.
Anyone watch Dexter, the reboot? I am so pissed off with how they fucked up the previous "final season" that I don't want to watch this one and want it to suck... but the commercials have me somewhat interested. Anyone?
