Used to keep going like a moron despite not really liking what I saw. The number of shows I've started and then dropped in the last year or two is countless. Latest ones being The Outsider, Star Trek Picard, For All Mankind, Castle Rock, See, and a lot more. Yeah, I don't even think it's a concious decision a lot of the time. It's just there's SO much stuff out there to watch, if something doesn't have me enthralled it's much easier to just pick something else up and forget about the other show. The Crown is a good example. I liked it, it's a good show. But I only watched one season because I kind of just drifted away from it and started something else. I might go back to it I might not. TWD I just found crap though. I have a real issue with cheesy, poorly acted shows. Even if the story is decent, I just can't get past the cheesiness. I think it's one of the reasons I didn't like Sons of Anarchy either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Slowly making my way through King of the Hill. Up to Season 6 now. It's aged really well. Funny as anything but also surprisingly tender and sweet from someone who created Beavis and Butthead. That's my purse! I don't know you! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Mike Judge presents: Tales from the Tour Bus is great fun, especially season 1. Really hope the 3rd season is coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen what S3 will be about yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest was The Witcher which was absolute drivel. Watched one episode and was baffled. We later tried a second episode to give it a chance to improve but couldn't even survive the episode. Absolute nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Walking Dead finished for me with the episode when Negan lined them all up and smashed Glenn and the other guy with his bat. That was some amazing TV, and since then it just got really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense. I actually liked The Witcher, flawed as it was. The Mandalorian on the other hand I could have skipped, did not give my anything.

Genuinely think this is one of the best written shows i've ever watched. Love it. So consistently dark and witty. Also brilliantly acted and some excellent cameos This. Every episode this season (except the 2nd one and even that was a good episode) I think has been wonderfully crafted this season. Thought Monday's was brilliant but would recommend the 1st episode for all the football fans out there... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they doing now with these seasons split into chunks? There's no fanfare for it at all either. Watched it last night, awful. Its like a sick old dog, someone needs to put it out of its misery. Got no time anymore for shows that just aimlessly meander on. Homeland went on too long. Should have bowed out much earlier. Lost as well, just dragged out to an unsatisfactory conclusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I gave up on Homeland at the start of the last series when they resurrected Carrie's mental problems again. It was just annoying me by that point.

villa4europe Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Started the stranger following the wave of typical Netflix social media buzz Its OK, but unrealistic imo Spoiler No way would you not have torn her **** head off for lying like that, a relatively calm chat in the garden followed by sleeping in the spare room and have a think about it Not a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I am not ok with this is entertaining enough, if you like stuff like the end of the f***ing world with some super powers thrown in it is worth a look. Only about 2 1/2 hours long for all episodes combined too so more like a movie really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's soooo bad it's hilarious I was amazed it got a second series, the quality threshold is that low Tim Kang should be embarrassed at being called an actor, he really is closer to a tree he's that wooden. It's a must watch for fans of absolute rubbish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
