First two episodes of The Old Man..not too bad so far. But, kinda reminds me of the Bourne series, Diamond Jubilee.

Legendary decision. I'll assume you've already finished breaking bad. BCS is almost as good.

Actually-Saul is EXCELLENT. Enjoy.

Bourne with an elderly guy somehow whipping everyone's ass every chance he gets. Don't get me wrong…I am enjoying the old man. It's just….I had gotten used to seeing 98 pound women doing that, i guess this is a nice change of pace.

Spoiler alert-

To be fair, his dogs saved his ass this last time.

They saved him on the side of that dirt road too. The series portrays them as ultra vicious and super intelligent. Another aspect of the show I've been enjoying, oddly enough.

If you like that, you'd probably enjoy Mr Inbetween.

Just started The Old Man. Liking it so far. Can't go wrong with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow imo. We'll see how it goes.

Just finished the 1st part of this season of Stranger Things, the acting and writing seems like a kids show compared to the other seasons.

So if you're getting hung up on those inaccuracys I think you're missing the point of Walking Dead.

We'd need to study zombie remains to fully understand what's going on there, still tough at this point.

You have maybe one season before it gets repetitive and drawn out.

I was going to say that as well. My wife and I watched maybe 5 seasons and it started getting ridiculous with the repetitive story lines. How many times do these folks need to crash a car while driving down a country road with no other traffic only to find themselves in the midst of zombies?

For me it's the whole "Who is the next bad guy" routine. It should have ended with Neegan, after that, the talkers, that's where it went to shit.

I liked Neegan, but even grew tired of that after a while. I think that's when we packed it in.

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...)
