I politely disagree. It definitely fell flat, but then I felt like it picked up again. Just one dude's opinion though.

I've tried peaky blinders three times and cannot get past the first two episodes.

My brother and a good friend said the same thing. I get it. It's not for everybody. I was a big fan of Boardwalk Empire too, and not a lot of folks I suggested that to liked it either.

And just for a recommendation of an oldie but goodie that I haven't seen mentioned in the thread:

Deadwood.

Of all the HBO shows, I think it had the best character development and equaled the Sopranos in making you relate to bad people. I liked that they tied up all the lose ends with a movie a couple years after HBO and the creators had a falling out.

Tx for reminding me about Deadwood, I stopped but shall resume.

I'm w Al re Peaky, it was alright but I gave up after a while. I know lots of ppl love it, so teto.

+1. I couldn't get into Peaky Blinders or Boardwalk Empire. Period pieces are harder for me to get into for some reason. I know people love both shows but they're not for me.

I spent a good portion looking into professional certifications.

time-travel and inter-dimensional stuff is just so hard to do well on film. i feel like many directors use it to intentionally try to confuse viewers because they dont really have a compelling story or characters.

FWIW, i a huge fan of historical fictional.

That's exactly where we left off too. Agreed on your comment. They have to be careful not to lose the viewer and I couldn't care anymore haha.

Super odd show, I made it through it and was hoping there would have been a season 2. It gets a lot better at the very end and makes total sense. At least watch the ending, it basically can be the ending with out the need of a season 2.

RickFLM4 · 01-09-2023, 05:43 PM

We watched Mammals on Amazon Prime over the weekend. I had pretty low expectations going in but actually thought it was pretty good.

Murf the Surf · 01-10-2023, 07:04 AM

Finished up SAS Rogue Hero's last night. It was entertaining and from what I've read they based it on the events that took place historically. It's clearly left open for a second season which I'd certainly watch.

Started Jack Ryan, 3 episodes in and I'm enjoying it as is my wife. A good spy story with enough action to keep it moving along.

Murf the Surf · 01-10-2023, 07:06 AM

1923, so far so good, I'm enjoying it more than 1893 which was excellent.

Absolutely! I enjoyed 1893, but this is better.

Was this already posted? I'm not a big gamer but I've played a few, and "The Last of Us" is one of my all time favorites. Very excited about this show adaptation...

TXSTYLE · 01-10-2023, 10:35 AM

The reviews are in. HBO has another must watch hit on its hands!
