The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon Prime)

Re: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon Prime)

LOVED this show, although somewhere in the deep middle it felt a little sloggy to me. But it perked up here in the last season, and I give the series two thumbs up.

You're right about Rachel...

Re: Succession

Gideon58 ... Great post with so many fun questions! Thank you for reminding me that it is at least a little bit fun to watch these insane people interact. :) I'd almost lost that thought.

I don't mind unlikable characters. But when all of them are unlikable and none of them ever change, then they've kinda lost my excitement for the series. If that's what my opinion boils down to, then...

Re: Succession

Good post, AKA23. I do see tiny moments here and there where the sibs each seem to be more aware of their situations/struggles post-Logan. I just don't see how we're going to get the kind of...

Re: Succession

Clearly we see this show differently. Comparing this story to, say, LOTR, simply because of some really general point each might be trying to make, is a bit of a stretch, yes? :D

I certainly don't...

If I ever stated that Logan shouldn't have died, then I recant. :) He pretty much HAD to die, given the show's title and premise.

Also, I have no problem with stories about futility. But they have...

I get what you're saying, but I've seen enough shows do this now that it just kinda annoys me. If there is no character progression, if there is literally no resolution, if the only point is that...

Last night's episode did NOT feel like the penultimate episode at all, but the previews for the next episode did say "Series Finale." Somehow I thought there were a few more episodes left. I have no...

I'm pretty sure he was also in the HBO series Rome, which ended too soon (as too many HBO series in the past have done). Sad to read this, since he had a particular flair for being funny while acting...

The good news is that, despite my computer being *under* the minimum specs for the Firmament game, it's running like a champ. With graphics settings on medium (just to be careful), it still looks...

I'll decide what/when once I install the game in an hour or so and give it a look-see. Obduction ran fine for me here (at least, as much as I remember). Don't recall any graphics issues--just the...

Also, I obviously don't mind paying more than I did four years ago, but I'm trying not to spend $400. :D

Might this one be a good replacement?

Re: A new Walking Dead spinoff is coming

I just saw a commercial for this for the first time two days ago. Have they been hiding this, or have I just not been watching AMC at all lately and didn't realize it? :D

The things Tom and Shiv said to each other on that balcony = cringe-worthy, for sure. And yet, played SO well by both actors that it was completely believable.

Re: If you could reboot any TV show on your own, what would it be?

Do I have to want to change things, or just continue them? Because if I just want to continue it but keep it in the same vein and feel, I'd easily choose HBO's Carnivale and also then Firefly.
