Oso planning to go pro
TD S4 with a good startSeems like it might lean heavily supernatural though which is a total no for me usually so will have to see how it unfolds.
Haven't watched s4. But I recall a decent amount of supernatural in s1
This is why there are a bazillion shows. Everything isn't for everybody.Most critics agree with those of us who liked Succession. Now, critics aren't always "right," either. But it's not as if those of us who liked Succession are a few minority opinions coming out of left field.I thought it was one of HBOs better dramas, a level down from The Wire and Sopranos but right there with anything else. This list ranks Succession 4th - https://www.indiewire.com/features/best-of/best-hbo-series-all-time-ranked-shows-1201859391/ - and this one ranks it 10th - https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/g26293745/best-hbo-series/ - but they include everything -- comedies like Curb and Veep, limited series like Chernobyl, etc. It was a very good show IMHO and in the opinion of millions of others. I understand and respect those who feel otherwise.

I understand it certainly wasn't for everyone. I merely found the show entertaining, not ground breaking. And I agree with some folks here that said there was a lot of sameness to the story season to season. I enjoyed the character development and the social snafus the most I think.
Agree with everything except character development- I didn’t see much of that. Dialogue was good, so was the acting.
Any Reacher fans on Prime? It’s hard to describe, but it’s kinda dumb, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously and Alan Ritchson who plays the lead is pretty damn good in it. Not too much fat, moves at a good pace.
This list has Band of Brothers way too low IMO
For me, they seemed like they want to develop and change, but then were always pulled back to their old personalities that their father have instilled in them from their childhoods. He was a mean manipulative bastard and the kids could never get past it. Tom stayed the same but learned because he CHOSE that path whereas the kids were raised into it and knew nothing else. I think the show was about people trying to change but their trauma prevented that. Or said otherwise, some people never change.
My takeaway...but I knew this already...is that I really need to watch The Wire. It's an inexcusable, gaping hole in my "prestige" television consumption. I didn't have HBO for years so missed a lot of really good TV. Over the last several years I've picked up Game of Thrones and The Sopranos, but haven't gotten to The Wire yet.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Which book is S2 of Reacher based on? I remember S1 was based on the first book, haven't watched any S2 yet and from the trailers it doesn't seem like it's book 2. I've only read 5 or so, so if it's based on B6 I'll probably just read that quick before I watch the show but if its like B12 or something then there'd be no point.
It is like book 11 or 12 called Bad luck and Trouble
Wow...those two lists have wildly differing opinions of several shows.My takeaway...but I knew this already...is that I really need to watch The Wire.

I am similar to you as I haven’t always had HBO as often as others. I will get it for a time and watch something. Then I will not have it for a while. “The Wire” is worth your time. It’s one of my favorite shows. A guy named David Simon worked for the Baltimore Sun newspaper in the 80’s and 90’s. And he wrote or co-wrote a few books:1) “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets.”2) “The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood.”The first book was made into the television series: “Homicide: Life on the Streets” It is excellent and hard to find due to music copyright stuff. However there has been a new development and hope for future streaming of it. The 2nd book was made into a miniseries called “The Corner.”He also created, wrote, produced, “The Wire.” with others.
Wow. Never knew about David Simon
