The TV Thread redux

As ever, spot on.

spot on, this. Add Sons of Anarchy, Dexter and a few others to that list. Great for 4-5 seasons then the writers run out of ideas.

Yellowstone is still doing some plot development in Season 4 but you can already tell that itā€™s heading towards a trainwreck.

I stopped in season 6

It was. I enjoyed it.

Succession S3 finale last weekend, and it was just absolutely superb TV.

The reservations I aired about it previously have been well and truly put to bed in the past 2 seasons as it is clear as day that these are all awful people and youā€™re genuinely not supposed to root for any of them. Itā€™s now just a glorious exhibition of side swiping and character acting (Keiran Culkinā€™s reaction to realizing his mistake at the board meeting in the final episode is exquisite). In some ways the outcome was totally out of the blue, yet in some ways there were so many threads to this point that were very clearly projected. They way they projected this outcome really is a great example of Checkovā€™s Gun in that there are probably about 20 scenes scatter throughout the past 3 seasons that point to this outcome but seemed relatively inconsequential at the time.

Has there been a better character created in the last twenty years?

Rhetorical, obviously.

Indeedā€¦

I shared the ā€œa man got to have a codeā€ gif with my team yesterday to explain why I was antagonistic to a director of a different department. No one knew what it was, but everyone understood me and my actions intuitively.

RIP Omar/Michael

No, but you couldnā€™t have got any closer. Iā€™ll allow it.

Watching Witcher. Seriously confusing and somewhat tedious.

Season 1 was brilliant. So far, season 2 has been hard to follow - unless I maybe need to rewatch S1 to refresh my memory

Yeah, I can see how the time jumps can make it a bit confusing. Iā€™m a fan of the video games so donā€™t have many problems on understanding things even though the show is based on the original books (which I have but not read!).

Iā€™ve only watched the first season so far but Iā€™ve enjoyed it so far.

Yeah, I can see how S1 would be confusing to anyone not at least somewhat familiar with the source material (a time-hopping timeline is made harder to follow by a main character who barely ages!)

S2 Iā€™ve started, but I got a bit annoyed by the treatment of a fairly major character in the books and games,who despite surviving the former was killed off after about three minutesā€™ screen time in the second episode.

Finished watching Witcher S1 and 2. Does it have any more seasons, because the end doesnā€™t look like an end.

Not yet made, but a 3rd season is planned.

Actually, the plan is to have it run for seven seasons (at least from last yearā€™s info), weā€™ll see. Unfortunately, I havenā€™t read the books but the PC games are second to none. The third instalment especially, @redfanman knows that it might just be the best game Iā€™ve ever played. :slight_smile:

Batman Facepalm GIF by WE tv

Watched Only Murders in the Building the week before Christmas. Great programme, old fashioned murder mystery plot.

Great to see Steve Martin and Martin Short on screen together again.
