100% this. the whisperers story line is where the show absolutely lost me.

Finished S4, Part 1 of Stranger Things. Interesting how they are exploring 11's past and tying it into things but still seems to be jumping the shark.

Started S3 of Umbrella Academy. I was wondering how Ellen vs Elliott Page would fold into the storyline. Although obvious when it came up, it wasn't overplayed and the story kept moving along. Nicely done.

I agree - the best episodes/seasons of TWD were the early ones. The Negan storyline was way too dragged out and I think the show lost its way in those middle seasons. Having said that, I have actually stuck with it and am up to date on the final Season 11 - waiting to see how the whole thing concludes! (well - until the rumoured films come out, I guess...)

Signed up for a 7 day trial of Paramount+ (here in the UK) to check out "The Man Who Fell to Earth". Have to say I enjoyed the first three episodes that I watched over the weekend; it has some great visuals and CGI. Looking forward to the next episodes and would recommend at this point.

I gave up a few episodes after Rick was gone. Was dedicated for a while.

I stopped watching after the tiger died. It just seemed Every season was a rehash of the previous season. New tough bad guy, doesn't seem like they could beat him, find a way to beat the bad guy, lose a couple of main characters. Neegan wasn't that different from the governor.

I'm late to the party, but started Barry recently and just finished season one. Very good series, definitely picks up around episode five then adds a lot of suspense. Kind of reminds me of Dexter in some ways.

I'm gonna pile on TWD too, think I'm stuck on s11, just waiting for some summary video to pop up on YT haha. Same stuff, gets tiring, I know they wanna make more money and so it drags on but I lost interest cuz it just got boring.

Binged the Umbrella Academy this weekend. I enjoyed all the seasons but i kinda hope it’s over, don’t want them stretching the show too long and ruining it like the Walking Dead which in my mind is on season 26.

Westworld season 4. I know it's out in some markets but Sunday night for me.

Murf the Surf · 06-28-2022, 05:41 AM

This looks like a good one! I saw the trailer a few nights ago and got excited. Antoine Fuqua directed the pilot so I expect good things.

Just watched the first episode of the new season, so far I can follow it

I'm curious to see about this "Christina" character as well as how Charlotte (or should I say Halores) and William's storylines will play out. And of course, Maeve steals every scene.
