Final season on Amazon. Each season has been tracking the books 1 for 1 (so I'm told, I havent read them) and apparently there's 3 books left. Hoping someone like Netflix picks it up. They do wrap it up in a pretty good spot to just walk away after Season 6 though. Apparently in the books there's about a 30-year time leap that happens right around this point. So you're either essentially starting up a totally new series with new cast, new sets, new everything to complete the last 3 books. Or you call it a day and move on.

I watched the first 3 Boba Fett. Dude just never dies. I don't know any "backstory" on the character really. Fun to see the recognizable character from previous movies further expanded.

Oh, and I just love watching Ming kick peoples' ass. Would let her beat me . . .

Finally got to watching the Grand Tour special. Was excellent, felt like an older Top Gear episode and featured some cool and interesting cars and great comedy.

I almost pee'd my pants during the "french film" version of a car review.

gunsmoker · 01-14-2022, 03:04 PM

Yeah, that was the best GT special by far.

Just finished the series finale. I'll vote for that as being the best series finale of all time. I really love how this series really stuck, seemingly, to science.

Right?! Really great finale. I watched it twice. Drummer has been one of my favorite characters throughout. I like how the show ended for her.

Absolutely.

Alright, so my wife and started Breaking Bad (again) a few nights ago, into season 2 already and enjoying it. It was a few years ago when we first started it and only managed a few episodes before we lost interest.

Tonight though, a break to watch the Ray Donovan Movie.

stein_325i · 01-15-2022, 09:02 AM

Finally finished The Wheel of Time. Pretty enjoyable I must say, and surprisingly fast paced for being based on a fantasy novel, then again, they also have 14 books to cover so I guess working fast is probably the way to go. Rosamund Pike as always was also excellent, and looks like season 2 should bring in some new interesting storylines.

How was the movie? Worth a couple of hours this weekend?

Same here so hoping the movie is good.

we just finished season 2 of “the sinner”. it’s definitely worth your time.

it’s anthology series set in upstate new york with bill pullman as the central character — a detective. each season follows pullman trying to solve a single, horrific crime…the twist being that it’s not a ‘whodunnit’ but rather a ‘whydunnit’. great acting, storytelling, and direction with overall high production values. we missed this show completely when it apparently aired on cable as a ‘usa original’. it’s streaming on netflix now with season 3 available. season 4 was released on usa network in 2021 but its not yet on netflix

Will have to check it out. Season one with Jessica Biel was excellent. Didn't realize there was a season two since we cut cable but looks like Carrie Coon is in the second season and she was great in the Leftovers and Gone Girl.

We liked it as well and thought Seasons 1 and 4 were the best of the four.

Just watched the latest installment of "The Expanse". (I really love the series!) It seemed an awful lot like a final episode, is that the case?

As noted earlier, that was the series finale

It is damn cold outside, so fire on and a nice dinner then TV, were on season 2 of Breaking Bad but are going to pause that tonight to watch the Ray Donovan movie.

evil-G-nius · 01-15-2022, 05:16 PM

Just started watching Leverage: Redemption and its good! I used to watch the Leverage series and this reboot is almost identical to the original but has some nice changes to it

From what I understand, the movie ties up loose ends from the finale, so I probably shouldn’t watch it until I watch all the freakin seasons?!?!? I only watched the first two episodes. Let me know please.
