Had a few problems, but enjoyed it overall. Definitely liked it better than season two. Recently, saw that season four is filming. I would watch it, just for the beautiful Alexa Davalos and the lesbian blonde Nazi, Bella Heathcote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plot, characters and action just do not come up the level of SOA IMHO, but then again, what did? I was REALLY into SOA so naturally I was excited about the Mayans series. I watched the 1st episode, OK but by the 2nd show I was getting tired of having to read everything they were saying. As I'm reading it I'm missing the action above . If I had been born in the Southern part of Baja it might have been OK but since I was born in Brooklyn the show just didn't work for me.

I know longer care what happens to foggy or Karen, for their melodrama. It seems like the writers has become a one trick pony, where every plot point belabors the emotional toil of every single character. Season 4 is cancelled.

I just finished my first attempt and did something wrong I guess, our choices kept getting limited to the same junction and then a box appeared that said exit to credits and I thought that would trigger an ending but just got the credits. I'll try again later this week but the first go around was a little disappointing. Edit to add we did get to one of the 5 endings, just a boring one lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 True Detective Season 3 ? Season 1 my second favorite show eva. If nothing else it'll have a great soundtrack.

Integrity28 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 True Detective 3 is great so far. Punisher 2 is awful. Far too much contrite dialogue. Over-indexing on Agent Madani’s PTSD trauma (annoying and uninteresting), all of Billy’s PTSD and memory loss... just unnecessary masterbation by bad writers. The guy playing the Mennonite is great. I like his story, and I can appreciate the social commentary about corporations, alt-right, extremism, and Russians. I wish they’d gone all-in on that part of it. Instead Madani Madani Madani... similar to where Daredevil is flawed in over-reaching on Karen Paige and Figgy drama. These are super hero shows. A true hero would put these sad sacks out of their misery. Im also not fully sold on Bernthal in the role. Don’t understand why he gets all roar-ish at times. He’s not Hulk. There’s moments he’s great, other moments he clearly doesn’t understand the character. Frank Grillo should’ve been the guy, but he wasn’t as trending. Also, they managed to make Jigsaw lamer than the Dominic West version. That guy cannot act at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just finished watching season 6 Ray Donovan this weekend. I don't know if anyone here likes the show, but it is one of my favorites and season 6 was outstanding. Love the Donovan's. And now Bridgett is officially a Donovan. Series has been renewed for season 7. I thought for sure this would be it's last, but the Donovan's always seem to persevere. As always Jon Voigt and the supporting actors who play his brothers steal the show. They are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untouchable Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Finished Punisher Season 2 last night and really liked it for the most part. More action packed than the first season. The last 15 seconds is the most “Punisher” Frank Castle has ever looked on screen and a direct homage to the first War Zone cover. Shame there probably won’t be a Season 3 with him truly embracing being the Punisher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoot-Face Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Finished the Punisher. It wasn't as great as season 1, but had its moments, although I was hoping for more -- especially from Russo/Jigsaw. You can tell the show lost a lot without the Frank/Micro dynamic. Frank's new relationship with the girl was nice, but... a bit cliche. And I didn't think Frank letting John Pilgrim live was very Punisher-like. Even as much as I'd love to see a Punisher/Daredevil duo take down the Kingpin in season 3, I'd say the final scene was the perfect way to send the show off. Goodbye, Frank. Time to order me some new comics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Anybody watching Sex Education on Netflix? Uneven, but lots of fun. EDIT: I'm a few episodes into this season's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I loved the first season but find this year's a complete disaster. It's like the producers sat down and said "how do we eff up our show?" Too much dialog, not enough jokes, and way too much concentration on her parents. The first episode had so much fast paced dialog between the characters (read speed of light talking) that I almost had a grand mal seizure. Complete cluster fuk.

Think I'm done after three as well. So many douche chill moments with nary a joke or funny situation to be found. A whole episode in Paris? Paris!!?? And Midge does a comedy routine in English as a person in the bar translates it? Right. Please just GFY. Seems like they are mired in showing everyone how awesome they are with film technique or dialog gymnastics. I'm thinking of the scene where Midge and her parents are getting ready in the morning. Incessant dialog as the shot goes from one room to the other at a dizzying pace. Again, very little of it was funny. I looked at my wife and was like, "WTF are they doing? Where did last year's show go?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
