Can't wait for season 2. The first season was terrific.

The Great-

Satirical series about Catherine the Great and Peter played by Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult. Only an episode in but it's pretty damn funny. Interesting combination of period piece, satire, and zany humor. Yet then it will get dead serious in spots. It owes A LOT to the movie The Favourite.

Just finished the first season.

It had its ups and downs. I enjoyed it, but there were times I found my attention drifting. Compared to similar things recently, Harlots (Hulu) and Will (TNT), probably better than Will but not as quite as fun as Harlots (despite Harlots not being a comedy)

Im not a huge fan of Nicholas Hoult and he basically seemed to be playing his original Tony character from Skins. Maybe thats why he got the job. They wanted Tony...

Anybody else watching THE TITAN GAMES Season 2 premiere? Love the new format with the new Titan competitors. Tyron Woodley is one of the Titans. American Ninja Warrior's Jessie Graff is here also. Jessie would probably do well in the Mount Olympus contest since obstacle racing is her forte.

AEW ring announcer Dasha Gonzales is also going to be one of the contestants. (Random, I know)

im halfway through.

I find with a lot of these streaming shows I’ve seen lately, the issue is one of redundancy. It starts out feeling fresh and fun and then it seems like you’re repeating the same kind of character interactions, gags, one-liners, put downs, and it becomes all too familiar and repetitive.

I’m still liking it but, like some other shows I’ve watched lately, I thought it was going to be better than it seems to currently be.

Mrs. America on Hulu is another one like that. It started out really good but then it became a bit repetitive. Then you’ll get something fresh and interesting on an episode that reminds you of how good it started.

Godless is one of the few shows I’ve watched recently that ended as awesome as it started.

Yeh, i was finding myself watching the first fifteen minutes of the episode, drifting off a bit, then re engaging for the final ten minute .

That said, I did binge it all in aweek so it held my interest enough to do that.

The only things I've binged start to finish recently were Fauda, Gangs of London, Grisse and maybe a couple of others.

So it was binge worthy, but I don't care if there is a season two or not. Whereas the others im looking forward to the next season

And yeh, godless was great.

Finished episode one of THE GREAT and really liked it. Sad to hear from you that the quality won't be consistent throughout. But I will still watch the rest of the episodes.

I think you’ll continue to like it. The past episode I watched was quite good. I do think our friend is right that Hoult starts to wear thin at times but that’s not a knock to him. The character is just sort of one note. But he’s also the funniest actor consistently.

Really solid performances overall.
 
Revisited Sons of Anarchy because my girlfriend wanted to watch it since shes only watched the Mayans. The first couple of seasons held up nicely but the nosedive with the following season stuck out again, almost done with season 5 at the moment.

Also just finished The Boys, such wacky unexpected entertainment, looking forward to more.

You and I are bonded forever. Actual tears with laughter. The patio door, the birds and bees discussion, it was compleley blinding. Thank you.

Me too probably. Not enough episodes unfortunately. I even watched that movie that is like a mockumentary of the same character that preceded the show. Forgot what it was called but it was good as well although the show is for sure more polished.

The final to season two almost put me into a grief coma. My chest hurts just thinking about it.

"I'll miss you is ozzie for "I love you" when it's two men who don't want to sound gay. When I watched that episode again after hearing that it hit even harder.

I wish it could have gone out on a higher less depressing note. That and the break up are its only imperfections. I've watched A LOT of TV during lockdown but that got me hooked within the first minute. Kind of had a clue that guy was going to be turfed off that balcony, when he did I knew it was going to be a fun ride.
