Movies / TV Shows!

I watched a Netflix series called Ragnarok. The first season was really good. The second season wasn't bad. The third season was decent, until the final episode. I never thought a series would exceed Dexter in the damage done to it by the final couple of episodes, but Ragnarok accomplished it. Horrible. Just horrible.
 
I've been thinking about watching the show. Is it worth watching the entire show, or do you recommend only season 1?
All seasons. If you're thinking that you will stop after 1st, you're wrong :D
Yup. It's a bit wild how engaging that show is. This has to be some of the best writing and character development I've ever seen in a TV series.

Seems that GoT really set the stage for something that may surpass Hollywood.
 
The final season of From has started, after taking an extra year off from production. I'm not encouraged by the first episode. There are a lot of things that need to be resolved, because the last two seasons were mostly just churning through the same stuff, occasionally creating a new variable, and resolving none of the old ones.

The big theme that the episode tried to promote was the primary antagonist bragging that "this is the best part" because now they were all going to "tear each other apart". That's hardly some big new theme to make the final season interesting, because it's pretty much the only thing that's happened for the last two seasons. I'm guessing that it means the writers ran out of material somewhere in season 3, haven't really come up with anything new, and are just going to drag through some sort of disjointed set of storylines until the final couple of episodes, when Boyd (Harold Perrineau) will magically save some or most of them.
 
Movies / TV Shows!

I didn't see another thread like that before, Anyone can post the tv show / movie they last watched and rate it, Rate it how you wish. Or even review the show / movie, This way we can find in one place what people like to watch and see If It's worth a shot or not.



So... The last TV show I've watched is Breaking Bad. I think it deserves a solid 9/10.
The acting and the characters are absolutely fantastic, The story is focused on walter white an ordinary family guy [Bryan Cranston] and a chemistry teacher who suffers from a middlelife crisis, On top of that he's informed he's dying from cancer. So to pay for his expansive treatments he starts to create and sell Methamphetamine. Though, He have to keep this away from his family.

The main character is not this super-duper-BADASS or a genuis of some sort. As someone who is new to the business of drugs and lying to his family he makes a lot of mistakes and lose balance many times. He's a softie with his family and in the streets he tries to fix his mistakes, Again, Fantastic acting especially by Bryan Cranston.

I'm that one fool on the planet who didn't realize that his Amazon Prime membership also got him basic access to Prime video. I figured it out this weekend, and spent some time watching Fallout. So far I don't think the story is very good, but they were smart enough to realize that satire was an important part of it, and they captured the atmosphere perfectly. I'm enjoying it so far. Eventually there better be a Deathclaw.

You will have to wait a bit for that type of monster but yeah, it will come ;)

Btw. prime also gives you free games every month.
 
I finished watching the first two seasons of Fallout. I thought it was excellent.

The first two or three episodes seemed to have really weak writing, until I realized that Lucy isn't the main character, regardless of how the series is promoted. She might become the main character in future seasons, but she wasn't here. The Ghoul was the main character, and the story was the story of Cooper Howard, and I think it was an excellent story.

I like thinking of it as all of them being an ensemble where humanity/lack of it is the main character, but I agree that Cooper was crucial.
I especially enjoyed how Cooper and Lucy influence each other. By the end of the last season, they seem to be almost switching places in terms of the morality scale. Lucy starts to be worn down by the environment, while she’s made enough of an impression on Cooper that we see more of the good in him.
I’m wary of video game adaptations (the Assassin’s Creed movie was the first I genuinely almost fell asleep in a theatre), but this has been a pleasant surprise.
