Plan on catching that tonight. Forgot it came out until I was ready for bed and needed a show to fall asleep to.

The episode schedule is pretty weird. Ep 1 came out last night on a Thurs, but episode 2 doesn't come out until a week from this coming Sunday. So you've got plenty of time to catch up.

Curmudgeon wrote:Well I binge watched the first two seasons of Foundation and was ultimately disappointed. Too many improbable plot twists and people coming back to life after being killed.

Any resemblance between the TV series and Asimov's Foundation Trilogy is purely accidental. Both have a man named Hari Seldon who predicted the fall of a galactic empire. The resemblance pretty much ends there.

We could t get into it. Watched a couple episodes. I was disappointed.

Just finished watching Fallout. Pleasantly surprised even they said it won a billion Emmys
Never played the game. But maybe I should.

Any Rings of Power enthusiasts here. I thought the second season was pretty solid for the most part.

I enjoyed the first season a lot, but cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription months ago. I’m planning on rejoining to watch the second season soon.

It will be interesting to see if Amazon keeps spending the money to make the multiple seasons they were planning on doing at the beginning of the project.

Yeah I enjoyed it. The opening on the season finale was just peak. Kemen needs to die horribly.

God bless anyone who may be in Milton's path. I will be indirectly hit with heavy rains but dodging the Big bullet. Depressing that life can be so hard to some.

Halfway through the Starting 5 docu special on Netflix. And all they've shown are losses (except maybe 1) by the Cs lol.

We're currently watching a 2018 Turkish television series called Persona. Five episodes in, it's pretty brilliant. The show is on MHZ Choice/Topic, a niche streamer with programming from around the world, with a focus on Europe.

The lead actor is Haluk Bilginer, who deservedly won an international Emmy for the role. He's a had a long career and has done work in US and British TV and films.

The blurbs linked below describing the series don't give you any idea how interesting and well made it is, but the IMDB rating does. This is the highest rated series on MHZ.

I'm only on Ep 2 but Ant is so annoying haha. If you're that good you don't have to constantly tell people you're good.
