finished it last night.... I want those 6 hours of my life back. I really lost interest around the 5th episode, but said "meh, you might as well see how it ends"

I will say that around episode 7 it started to lose me a little bit and I felt like the ending was anti-climactic. The build-up was good, but I expected more from the ending. I've watched worse things though.

I think that assessment is spot on.

I really wanted the Politician brother to get exposed, he thought that he was quite the operator.

He sure did, and the way it ended continues that theme. Ughhhh I can't do a season two of that series, but knowing me I'll probably watch it.

Got through the 2nd season with too many recurring questions that were always left unanswered - and ended up stopping after that.

Concept of this story - first season anyway, was great. Just lost interest

Finally!

Seriously? How long is your embargo for discussing shows, movies and sporting events? BTW, Darth Vader is Luke’s father….

Captain Blood · 03-09-2022, 06:19 PM

What's up with Mad Money with Jim Kramer? Not on the last few days…….

Woosah bro! Woosah!

He didn't kill the ending nor expose the twist. I think we could see by episode 4 or so that the politician brother is shady.

Why you, Luke is the son?! Well, just that this is relatively new. I wasn't being unreasonable like when I wanted an embargo for Dexter, cmon dude. :P

I know, I just like being in the dark and finding out at the proper time, like he found out w/o someone spoiling bits for him. Now I know nothing significant happens to him. Not a killer reveal but still.

hello guys
Funny series. I advise you to look)
The End of the F***ing World

UncleWede · 03-11-2022, 09:59 AM

Finished Valhalla. Much like the Discovery version, except more T&A and blood, so I enjoyed it.

How the Mind Work on Netflix is interesting, and good for a short view right before bed, while icing the shoulder. Short enough to finish before the eyes close, yet still provide some interesting insights.

Try Movies That Made Us too, really not bad, bit of humor too. Good for that window where the wife passes out but too late to start a movie.

OK I got about a half dozen episodes in, at the point where the young male lead has been found out by the nazi boss after spending a night at his house.

I will go back to it but fundamentally, i don't know what it is, i am struggling with it, not sure if boredom or the casting or the lack of care for the characters or what. My test is my phone, so, if I pick up my phone to scroll as a show is on, i'm not that into it.

stein_325i · 03-11-2022, 04:14 PM

This looks like it should be good

If you are not into the show after 12 episodes, don’t think you will suddenly come around. The seasons slowly build, from one season to the next, and characters’ storyline ebb and flow to accommodate. I think the series focuses more on the nuances and scenery of an alternate reality, with the expectation that it will keep the viewer engaged. Granted, there are lulls, but all comes together in the end.

Now that I finally finished Pieces of Her...

***SPOILER ALERT***

Is that Jane the worst ever? All the children were schemers or against the dad, an even more sociopathic Succession. Man, really hated all her stupid and destructive choices. Nick is Nick, psycho-loser Manson wannabe but what the hell did she see in him, going head-over-heels and wanting to do that to her dad because he's 'overbearing'? Talk about screwing up her silver spoon life and her daughter's.
