I kind of thought the show did what The Undoing (HBO, Nicole Kidman) and even to an extent Mare of Easttown did -- tried to be too tricky in the end, with one gotcha you never saw coming.burnbarn said:caryking said:burnbarn said:

Finally watched the Chapelle special. Not my favorite set hes ever done (I dont think he can ever top Killin Them Softly) but was still hysterical. People need to lighten up and realize its a comedy show
Been looking forward to it coming out. Heard the first episode was awesome. Such a good cast, though I really don't like the role of Tom W.Ellesdad said:
Highly recommend Succession.
This show is great, Kieran Culkin trips me out.Packchem91 said:Been looking forward to it coming out. Heard the first episode was awesome. Such a good cast, though I really don't like the role of Tom W.Ellesdad said:

If you went strictly off of TV shows and commercials you'd think 1/3 of the country was LGBTPackchem91 said:
Started 2nd season of The Morning Show. Several episodes in, it proved that there is now a written rule that every show must have a LBQxxxx role....this one involves the main character of Reese Witherspoon and Juliana Marguiles.
Now...getting past the fact that thats 2 hot women messing around, its such a tiring, predictable thing that this is a required part of shows.
What do you like about the series? I tried to start with the first book via audio book but couldn't get into it, otherwise I'm definitely a consumer of the epic fantasy shows / genre.IseWolf22 said:
Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime is dropping 2 weeks from tomorrow. Amazon is selling it as the next Game of Thrones.
I grew up with the Wheel of Time book series and love it. So this series will either be awesome or I'm gonna absolutely hate it
First book is slow (so is 8 & 9). I picked it up twice as a teen and didn't finish. Then on the 3rd try I pushed through and was hooked after the ending.statefan91 said:What do you like about the series?

It's amazing, but you need to know what you're going into. The movie covers the first half of the first book. It is world building but you will not leave the theater satisfied at a conclusion because it feels like it's just getting started when credits roll. I loved it, but you have to have a right expectations.JocoPack said:
Has anyone here seen Dune? What did you think?
Never read the books or anything but I am a big Star Wars fan and it looks similar
Oh wow ok. Would you recommend reading the book first?statefan91 said:It's amazing, but you need to know what you're going into. The movie covers the first half of the first book.

2 guaranteed. The Director has mentioned he has his eye on 2 books to adapt, with the first (and most famous) being the one adapted now and split into 2. So if he gets the green light for the other book that would be at least 3 movies already thought about at some level.braz213 said:
How many Dune movies are there going to be? I know at least two. I enjoyed it.
First couple episodes were a little rough with bad CGI, surprising considering the budget.IseWolf22 said:

I'm definitely of mixed opinions so far. It's not wowing me.statefan91 said:First couple episodes were a little rough with bad CGI, surprising considering the budget.IseWolf22 said:

Latest episode was good with some new questions popping up.
Aes Sedai are a formal organization, with their own city. They are highly structured, with multiple levels of training that culminate in becoming a full Aes Sedai, who is a member of one of the seven factions, all denoted by color. Aes Sedai have years of training and know how to use magic when and how they wantstatefan91 said:
I am unfamiliar with it so am picking up on some things like the different colors have different roles, no idea who the folks in white are (religious maybe?), not sure what a Wisdom is vs. Aes Sedai (sp??)
The braid is just what that region does to symbolize a girl becoming a woman.statefan91 said:
Perfect - that's super helpful. I had picked that up on the Aes Sedai but not on the Wisdom and the hair braid and all of that. It sounds like they have referenced that Egweine is powerful and then Mat looked like he was possessed in the farm house.
Really wish they would do a better job on the CGI for the trollocs and the dark / evil guy. Those are my biggest complaints besides trying to figure out the story.
you nailed the worst part of the show. The acting has all been fine, the effects of the magic look really cool IMO. But the dialogue is so damn exposition laden at times it kills the flow of the show. Makes you understand why people thought this was unfilmable. You always want to Show and not tell, but if the average viewer can't easily pick up on the visual cues then you have to resort to exposition which stinks.IseWolf22 said:I'm definitely of mixed opinions so far.

They aren't doing a great job laying down backstory and world building without a bunch of exposition. I'm not sure how easy this is to follow for someone who is not already familiar with the story.
If you're into it, Wu Tang An American Saga is really good. The wifey might not like though lol.RunsWithWolves26 said:
Me and the wife just signed up for Hulu for .99 a month for th next 12 months. Y'all give me some good series suggestions. Thanks in advance.
