I am still disappointed they cancelled this, can't blame the producers on this one as the ratings were supposedly really bad. It's a real shame, this was some quality horror, has spooking moments, etc, esp for the small screen.

Tonight’s episode of the Last of Us was intense! I’m definitely hooked, can’t beat Sundays on HBO.

Watching it now after 49ers vs Cowboys game. Great day with Lunar New Year celebration, good weather, 49ers winning, and now The Last of Us on HBO.

I liked Reacher the Amazon series. There is some discussion earlier in the thread. Not everyone liked it as much I did.

BMW F22 · 01-23-2023, 03:31 PM

I really enjoyed Reacher; more so than the latest season of Jack Ryan (I didn’t finish it).

I dunno. If you like the books you'll like the Amazon series. At least the guy is the proper size, unlike the Cruise movies.

Books were the best, movies the worst, series in between.

TXSTYLE · 01-23-2023, 10:52 PM

That episode 2 of The Last of Us towards the end was brutally disgusting and disturbing.
But it was necessary to add another dimension of the "Fungus".... 😳

Apologies, I was thinking of the other one with The Office guy.

The books were great, especially the early ones. I was so disappointed when they cast Tom Cruise as Reacher. WTF?!??! I have to watch the series.

Yeah, "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" with John Krasinski. I've been meaning to watch this.

Anybody watching it? Is it good?

I think it's just OK but this is from someone who has read the books and is also comparing to the movies with the Jack Ryan character. Hard to beat The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger.....

I wouldn't say don't watch it though.

Just my 2 cents.

Haven't read the books but really enjoyed the movies you mentioned.

I have Prime so might give it a try.

Really liked him in "A Quiet Place."

I watched the first season and thought it was ok. Couldn’t get past first episode of second season. Others like it more than I do. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

floridaorange · 01-25-2023, 02:35 PM

I found the Jack Ryan series to be entertaining for sure. It was no "The Looming Tower" but it was definitely good.

Speaking of "The Looming Tower," I think that and "Alone" are the last 2 tv series I actively told friends and family to check out, because I felt they were that good....

What other series are really not to be missed lately?
