I did too. They're doing a good job with the reboot. Bringing back the original show runner was smart. I'd like to see it continue beyond this season.

I thought this weeks Succession was a complete waste of an episode. Overall this has been a disappointing season and only 3 left.

The performances have been top notch but storyline purposes the season hasn't been nearly as good. Think there's only 2 episodes left too.

For me it was one of the best episodes of the entire series. :dontknow:

I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I watch Succession for the **** up character dynamics, not because I really care all that much about what happens to the company.

I like Roman and I think Kieran does a good job with the character but a little goes a long way. Too much of him in this one IMO. And only a few seconds of Brian Cox.

And yeah only 9 episodes this season instead of 10. Weird.

I had been lukewarm on Hawkeye for the first two episodes, but episode 3 is easily my favorite MCU thing since Endgame. Nothing even comes close. It's got action, humor, sadness, set pieces that are legitimately jaw dropping, great acting, an origin story, a big cameo, and a dog. Everything about it was incredible.

Yea this season of Succession has been a whole lot of spinning their wheels. Generally like the acting and the dynamics of it all, but essentially nothing has happened so far.

Hellbound is pretty interesting. It isn’t afraid to go places where other shows won’t in terms of plot developments and brutality.

New season of Sunny last night. Think it makes it the longest running non animated show of some kind and I think they're signed for a few more. Last few years have generally been half episodes are fine/meh/ok and the other half are good. After this long it's tough to maintain the peak. But pretty solid two episodes last night though. If you like dumb/dirty/stupid comedy and haven't watched this show yet you should.

The car chase was one of the coolest scenes I've seen in any Marvel project. All around great episode and I cannot wait for where it seems to be headed.

Trust the audience score. Movie was really enjoyable.

I had no plans to watch it after the abysmal trailer but watched it today, and yea, it's a lot of fun.

The accent certainly doesn’t help, but man Gal Gadot just isn’t a good actress. The first WW was the perfect role for her since the character is naturally so wooden and unaware, but boy oh boy she’s in over her head in a lot of these roles. I was shocked they set up a sequel where she’d have more screen time.

Also, I was stunned by Silicon Valley’s Russ Hanneman’s accent choice. What the hell was up with that?

In the end it was a totally okay movie

It’s was a fun episode. My take is that, while I’ve liked the show overall and it’s better than the other Disney+ offerings, it would still function better as a 2 hour movie.

Huge Always Sunny fan. I've been impressed how they maintained their quality as long as they did. Haven't seen the start of this season or last, but will get to it eventually. When shows go this long, even if you love them, it's hard to stay super invested.

I thought both episodes of Always Sunny were fantastic, especially the 2nd episode.
