Does Three Body Problem get better as it goes on? I couldn't even make it through the first ep because the whole thing seems to hinge on this gif



We're about halfway through and enjoying it.

Also just finished the first season of Killing Eve. That's really good. Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer are both excellent.

Fallout was fun. Another case of enjoying a show I didn't even know was based on a video game until well into the season.

Though post-apocalyptic like The Last Of Us, the similarity mostly ends there. It's not as good as TLOU - but few series have been, so that's not really criticism.

The always-great Walton Goggins plays a central character with an interesting backstory, and the two other leads are good too. Fallout is  gory as hell, but it's also funny quite often. Recommend.

Watched it and played some of the games.  It does them justice.  Good show.

Too cartoonish for me. Watched one episode and didn’t go back for more.

That's why there are a bazillion shows out there. Everything isn't for everybody.

For example, the creative minds behind Westworld were also behind Fallout. I tried to watch Westworld 3x and I just couldn't get into it. But lots of people (and critics) thought it was great. And that's OK!

Yup. Generally, we are pretty close as far as what we like.

With Westworld, I’m with you 100%. 1st season was alright and it went downhill till I finally gave up on it.

Watched "Unfrosted" on Netflix.  Great cast.  Horrible movie.

The book trilogy story was tremendous, though a bit of a slog to read because of Chinese translated to English.  Haven't started the series though.
 I am guessing they've changed almost all of it for TV since it was a China-centric story.

Binged the 4 episodes that are already available of Under the Bridge on Hulu.  Think it's pretty good and will watch the last 4 as they come out.

We really enjoyed Under the Banner of Heaven. I would imagine LDS folks not so much.

I was unsure on that one. I will give it a try.

Watching A Man In Full. Good show, Jeff Daniels (as usual) shines.
