I have many other series to watch on the docket but that's a main reason I haven't gotten back into Westworld - it's a frustrating trend these days, I really dislike having to watch some YT video *explaining what that show/episode was really about* rather than just letting it flow when watching the actual show. I mean, I don't need to be spoon-fed, but when it gets crazily symbolic in an obscure or cryptic sense, or if they flash something on the screen for 0.1 seconds and I miss it but it's really crucial to the story, I think to myself 'why bother' and just tap out.

Old man was meh, I felt… too much unnecessary drama that went nowhere.
Started rewatching sopranos again… can’t go wrong with that show.

I'm gonna be real honest here...

BB was above average at best. I believe it's popularity is the infatuation with Drugs, Guns and Violence. Also way too much Drama.
The characters are pretty forgettable. So many better overall options if you're comparing all platforms. Especially: Netflix, HBO Max and Premium streaming.

I think it was an amazing show. It's an understatement to say that Cranston and Odenkirk were special. There's nothing on TV that stands up to BB right now. But I digress.

Honestly Season 4 has been the easiest season to follow so far.

Murf the Surf · 08-07-2022, 10:03 AM

I started The Old Man last night, first episode is solid.

It's an awesome show and it really gets going in episode three. I can't wait until the next season starts.

I agree, and that was some cliffhanger they left us with.

TXSTYLE · 08-07-2022, 02:16 PM

SANDMAN is quite entertaining. I'm 5 episodes in.
Definitely living up to the hype.

Both amazing shows

Thoroughly enjoyed s1 of Only Murders in the Building and now am onto s2. I find those old NY apartment microcosms fascinating so here's an interesting link about the real building(s):

Finished Black Bird. It was a decent watch but I wasn't thrilled with the ending. It felt like they rushed the final episode.

wdb · 08-09-2022, 08:25 AM

I finished bingeing 5 seasons of BCS on Netflix. I was fast forwarding. They stretch stuff out an awful lot.

I still have the last 2 episodes to catch-up on. So far, decent, but underachieved in my mind.

Interesting as I thought that each episode was purposeful w little excess fat, although I found that these closing episodes seem to fit your sentiment.

paquet · 08-10-2022, 10:26 AM

I highly recommend a British comedy "Not Going Out"

RickFLM4 · 08-10-2022, 10:56 AM

Well now we know how Kim’s story unfolds.

Man, her story is miserable. Geez, that slob she's dating now? Wow. But I guess that's the cost to hide from your past.

I really hate that there's only one episode left.
