It started out w a BANG! but for me just fizzled afterwards and I gave up after a season or so.

Unfortunately, I find that there are many series that don't have staying power, at least for me.

They replaced him with Prince in Season 6, which sucked.

UncleWede · 07-13-2023, 03:07 PM

I see See has some new episodes I haven't seen

Y'all suckered me into Silo. Watched about 5 episodes so far. Will continue

Witcher 3, I just hate waiting week to week. . .

Foundation season 2 starts tomorrow

Yeah I'd be ok if Prince falls down an elevator shaft or something in S7 Ep 1.

I started Silo. It was promising early but petered out. I called it quits on Episode 3. Too slow and nothing is happening. If the show is a slow burn, that's fine but you have to keep the audience engaged. This show didn't do that for me.

It picks up toward the end. Very interested to see where it goes next season.

Started "The White Lotus" a few nights ago and believe we are done with episode 4. It's okay so far..a little strange but still has my wife and i's interest so I will report back once we watch more episodes.

I'm in the "slow burn" portion gutting it through in the hopes it picks up.

Thanks

Well, I finished The Americans. Glad you all said I should keep going. I liked the way the finale closed it out.

Very fair, I just couldn't wait for the payoff. It felt like it wasn't coming.

Would be interested in your thoughts if you get through it. I haven't completely closed the door on it.

Finally, Justified: City Primeval is released (btw, what a silly name! What's the origin for that?). So far so good as expected 2 episodes in.

Have it recorded but in-laws still here so haven't had a chance to watch yet. Hopefully this weekend.

It is deliberately slow, but purposefully done to allow for character and plot development. While I liked Season 1 of White Lotus enjoyed Season 2 a lot more.

Th3DarkSide · 07-20-2023, 07:33 PM

Is Justified good guys? I thought about giving it a shot but had a hard time finding it even on a jailbroken Firestick with the Cinema app.
