@mariner4life If it ended well, like last 3 seasons were like the first 3 (you know when they were aligned with actual books to crib off), we'd be still talking about it and salivating about the upcoming spinoffs.

@machpants the books are hugely overrated after the first couple. I could not care less if he never finishes the story.

I get the feeling that's his attitude too now.

I disagree, I've really enjoyed them. I also enjoy the theory stuff put out by fans. The end of the TV series I loathed

Ah remember GOT?
there needs to be some sort of case study done about how something can be a worldwide cultural phenomenon for years and then bang! it finishes, and no one speaks of it again, except for a quick "yeah that ending was fucked"
I get the feeling there was sufficient water cooler conversation to drag others, then the media jumps on it and everyone knows it sucks but feels compelled to follow it through to the end. Like a shit relationship at uni.
I was going through the motions in the final season. The Hound died but I knew he would, Bronn survived like I hoped he would, and yeah I think it’s safe to say I’ll never watch a single episode ever again.

That's me also, loved the books, enjoyed the show but not as much as the books, and hated the final few episodes and the finish

It would be great to at least see the fat man’s version of events but I’m beyond caring now. It’s now a decade since the last book, which was in itself a bit of a hot mess. Given he’s now apparently signed a massive deal to develop 5 (farking 5) new shows I can’t see how he will get round to finishing the final book. He’s not exactly spry either.

@rancid-schnitzel I do want to see an end, but also I want it to be quality. I'm doubting I'll get both, but fingers crossed. To me it seems similar to Wheel of Time. If he carks it hopefully a new younger author will pick it up as well as Brandon Sanderson did with WoT.

Watched Ep1 of that Mare of Easttown last night with Kate Winslet.
Well made show. Nothing really unexpected but good cast, good characters, good script and (so far) a good story.
Looks to be Broadchurch like in that it is going to be slowly uncovering deeper shitty happenings in an already shitty place.Worth starting and seeing if it holds in there.

@bones A hint of tit. In one episode. Out of three seasons.
GFY.
That will no entice anyone.
Well maybe @m4l
fuck your own face
I've started watching a show called City on a Hill
Idealistic DA and "corrupt" FBI agent trying to take down armoured car robbers in Boston in the 90s
Kevin Bacon's character is fucking great. Just an amoral asshole.
Yeah I've started it too, after having it sitting there for yonks. KB is great and it's pretty catchy after a slow start. Do you know about the "situation" that happened that it's set after?
Does this get better? I'm 4 episodes in and it's sloooow
I don't give a fuck about all your family drama, it is actually holding back the main story
-
@mariner4life I thought you were talking about Taboo for a moment there, which I've lost interest in for now, just too slow and a bit boring.
Still going with COAH, I reckon it's decent. You can see it wanting to be The Wire though and I do get your point about all the dramas.

Stick with it... Or just skip to the final episode and retrospectively try to figure out how it went from "dreaming about ghosts and shit because I was in Africa and it's so spiritual" ... to ... well... balls-to-the-wall fucking mayhem.

@bones said in TV Serieseseses:
@kruse an episode or two ago he was attacked......in the dark. About 30 seconds or so of black screen and zinging knife noises. How thrilling.
I really would like to hear the thoughts of somebody who watched the first 3, maybe 4?, episodes - and yeah - got the feeling that it was as boring as shit - and then skipped to the final episode of the season - and watched that.
Please do that, and report. You'll miss out on some great build-up, but it would be great to see the reaction. -

@victor-meldrew Ep9 was great, and the final scene. I can't wait for next week.
Just watched it. Extra long episode - terrific.
Might just be the best space drama I've seen.

For All Manking looks like my kid of show, apparently on on AppleTV here 😡
Worth finding a copy or someone on AppleTV.
Slow burner at times but real good.

@victor-meldrew I will watch tomorrow. There was a rugby game to attend tonight.
