i get what u saying now. most shows with good premise like these get to a point and they get stuck so the go back to what they know murder mystery until they figure it out. the one thing im having issue is the show underestimate human resolve. it gives a lot of room for fear. since humanity have been able think. we have mange to walk beyond red line. our curiosity is part of our programming in our DNA. there no way you can keep 10000 people in dark for 144 years. i say you can’t keep 10 people. with out some one wanting to see. we went to the moon with a tin can. you can’t tell me u can keep us underground with out an answer. but good premise so i will keep watching.

Have to agree, I want more to happen more quickly every episode. Third to last episode, finally getting to some good real fishy stuff. I would have liked to get more history from the beginning onward. They’ve hinted at several intriguing bits but they’re dropped with no followup. I like the cast a lot (glad to see Common again, he’s awesome) and I love the premise. The story arc is not tight. To me it’s the opposite of bingeable…so slow I can only take it an episode at a time.

Was glad to see this in the comments - always a great watch and it’s been a while. Spoiler alert: “live die repeat” means die, lots and lots and lots of times - this is the best use of time loop I’ve seen in TV or movies. Never gets old. 10/10 (yeah, it’s Cruise. You gotta admit this is his jam, he totally owns this genre and probably will for the rest of the century.)

Alpha Omega was supposed to be “Dragonball Z”? Until they said it, I had no idea. “Goku” looked more like the crazy one from “Orange Is The New Black”. And you know a battle is bad when a judge would rather walk off than vote!

The casting is odd, the National’s music is same-y, Peter Dinklage is not a singer and yet I found this charming and innocent and boy do I not get enough of that.
Catch and Release (2021) S1 E1
That beginning was really jarring for me…I both couldn’t look at her and couldn’t look away. She’s so old and starkly unattractive, I had to process my reactions to that, and it made me feel some shame. Bold casting choice.

I tried…kept falling asleep. I haven’t seen the entire Fury canon, maybe that’s the problem. Top notch stars, Fury fans will love this

Couldn’t really get anything out of the trailer, but I’ll watch it once it has an air date. A group of European migrants leave London on a steamship to start new lives in New York City. But when they encounter another migrant ship adrift on the open sea, their journey begins to turn into a nightmare. From the creator of “Dark”.

rogerebert.com critical review gives this 3.5/4 stars. Surprised at the haters on IMDb and the other sites trolling this movie.
Just heard a news item on this which said that the star of the movie expressed support for the Hong Kong police which I think explains a lot of the trash ratings. I mean, it’s not a superlative movie, but it’s also not utter garbage. Politics.

Amazing. That’s an all encompassing review. Noomi carries the entire show, but seeing Jonathan Banks beyond Better Call Saul is astronomical.

Noomi is Noomi, she’s always great, but here I’m on Team Jonathan and Team Barbara Sukowa, because they have the most interesting character arcs so far. He was brilliant as Mike Ehrmantraut and I’ve binged 12 Monkeys 3 times.

Completely improvised, this was only made as a test of sound sync equipment. Shot the day after Diane Linkletter leapt to her death in what was deemed to be a suicide, Waters has referred to The Diane Linkletter Story as “the worst taste thing I ever did”.

Hey, it’s Remus Lupin from Hogwarts! There’s a nice balance of good guys and bad guys and mysterious goings on, and the characters get more depth and become more complex over the course of the season. Really looking forward to season 2.

Pretty vivid characters and a lot of intriguing subplots, and it’s a historical era and North American region that is pretty novel to US TV - fur trade doesn’t get a lot of treatment. To me it didn’t seem like anything was really fully developed or resolved in the season finale. Which means I am going to be back to see if they figure it out.

slow slow slow. i like the premise, but disappointed in three episodes of backstory. I’ll stick with it.

Liking it so far, different tone to most westerns i’ve seen. One issue, at the risk of sounding like a legendary nerd, there’s no way a native would leave a team of horses strapped to a stage with a dead driver in the middle of nowhere, that’s just cruel.
I await your jibes and ridicule.

Credit where credit is due, in the fifth episode this is finally becoming watchable (more action, less Nimue). I’m becoming fond of Arthur-as-CEO: in this episode, we see the CEO take his rival CEO out for a couple rounds of golf (spear fishing) to suss each other out and do some bonding (result, an offer of mentoring in this whole being king thing). Highlights: terrific swordfighting and all out brawling between besties in trial by combat, with a sincere cinematic attempt to portray a scene in the rain almost realistically (hey, it counts). Major side eye: ‘sumer is icumen in’ was written in Wessex sometime in the thirteenth century, even in mythology it’s hard to believe that any self-respecting Dumnonian would be caught dead singing a Saxon roundel, oopsie.
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021)
Into The Badlands on ayahuasca, dissertations will be written on this. A cult classic before it hit the can. 11/5
The Virgin Queen (2006)
Anne-Marie Duff has an intensely powerful persona with larger-than-life physicality and striking looks - to me the best actress and best version I’ve seen in portraying the characterists that QE1 was historically famous for. Tom Hardy makes a great Robert Dudley. They did a fantastic job of aging these actors, so convincing that I thought that Duff was replaced by an older actress for the end, until I went to iMDb and checked it. Another great BBC1 show.

I may be alone in this, but my favorite silly show is getting too silly for me. Bird lady pfft.
I’m kinda with you on your point about Q; I could never stand him and just wanted him gone. Seeing him now, I still feel that way. I find the Borg Queen arc to be most interesting, though…so maybe the Q angle won’t be so horrible.
Cabreras is a lot of fun. Remember him as a Musketeer a few years ago?
You and I may have had this conversation before…I ADORE that show. I rewatch about every other year!
Hoping Q gets less screen time and Borg Queen gets lots more.
