Yea, I actually agree, Will is the best of the bunch. Finn Wolfhard is so flat.I actually liked Season 4 a lot in many ways. Some of the plot was horrible. The stereotypical jock was awful.Enzo bothered me cause his Russian accent was horrible. Nobody is buying that Jaqen H'ghar is actually Russian.I do find it amusing, for a show based in middle of nowhere Indiana, the Duffer Brothers fill the cast with so many foreigners playing Americans. And relatively unknown foreigners at that. Millie Bobby Brown, Quinn as Eddie, Dacre Montgomery as Billy, Robin's love interest Vicky is Irish, etc...Also, speaking of Robin, I think Maya Hawke is probably the best actress of the main cast. She's got serious chops. Fun fact, before the string of Disney live action remakes, Universal was making a live action version of The Little Mermaid. Sofia Coppola was directing and really wanted Maya Hawke as the lead. The studio overruled her, Coppola left the project, and the movie imploded.
Finished S6 of Peaky Blinders.I wish the show would go on, but I understand why shows need to end. Looking forward to the finale movie in the works. Hopefully it ties everything together.
Beginning of the season was INCREDIBLE. Middle was a bit eh, final 2 episodes were tremendous. High hopes for the movie to put a bow on it all. That final episode was amazing.
As a crime drama, how does Peaky stack up against a show like The Sopranos?My wife has watched PB and raves about it. For some reason, I never watched it - probably because I hate turning on subtitles which is necessary with the Irish accents. But she wants to watch it from the start again, so I am gonna start with her.
I'm in the middle of it and couldn't disagree more. Season 1 was brilliant, but I felt it was deteriorating in 2 and 3. Through 4 episodes and change, this is the best the series has been since the beginning. I'll have to see how it ends, but I've been enjoying it a ton.
Curious what people thought of the new Better Call Saul? Given what we had seen of Gene up to this time, felt like this was a swerve but makes sense that Slippin’ Jimmy is always there
I never see any discussion on this board regarding the NHL, which I believe is the best in person sport to attend, especially during the Stanley Cup playoffs. That being said, ESPN is showing a documentary detailing the hatred between the Detroit Redwings and the Colorado Avalanche in the 1990's. It is entitled "Unrivaled".The trailer is outstanding and ESPN will show it on Sunday, 6/26/22, 1:00pm ET. set your DVR NHL fans.https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2022/06/unrivaled-espn-e60-relives-examines-fierce-avalanche-red-wings-rivalry-born-25-years-ago/
Stranger Things shoulda hired Henry Winkler for the cast because it's jumped the shark.Most of Season 4 was pretty bad. The writing and acting was terrible. I agree about Eddie and Max; the rest of the kids were borderline unwatchable, and the adults were no great shakes either. I'll probably watch Season 5 because I've dedicated this much time to it and want to see how it ends, but I hope it's not as painful as most of this season was.Hard to believe that just a few years ago I was telling everybody they HAD to watch Stranger Things, that it was the best new show on TV. Oh well ... they're still making money on it, so I don't blame them for letting it drone on.
So interesting, MU82.We have almost completely different views on ST and The Boys.Glad we have options to choose from!
You dislike The Boys? If so, you seriously are the first person I know of who says that. Which is ok, just a little surprising.
As I said earlier, I like it. But it's becoming obvious they're protecting characters because of their popularity and not what would make sense with the plot/narrative.
I guess I'm the 2nd.I tried twice. Couldn't keep going.
Nope, you're the first, as jesmu clarified. Your loss.
Oh, OK. A couple examples?Nope, you're the first, as jesmu clarified. Your loss.

Has anyone watched The Rehearsal on HBO? It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Charlie Kaufman-esque premise with a bunch of absurdly dumb humor baked in. Nathan Fielder is the best.
“Tehran” on Apple+ (2 seasons so far)
Nathan for You is just incredible TV. Easy watch and laugh out loud funny.
