And got better the longer it went! One of the best final episodes of a series I've seen. This your first watch, RS? Where are you on it?

Sure why not:

Watch on YouTube

Sonoya is just awful. Which was too bad. If she hadn't been such a distraction Devs would have been pretty high up on my list of single season SciFi.

Def worth a watch if you like pure sci-fi.

The Quarantine episode of Mythic Quest was pretty great.

First two episodes of Space Force were not great.

Wife and I recently started Mr. Robot. Just started the final season now. Incredibly eerie to watch given the state of the world.

A lot of talent in front of and behind the camera. Meh results.

Hmm this confirms my watch of the preview and a quick google.

Might skip that one.

Just another PSA that The Last Kingdom is fantastic and everyone should watch.

Late to the game on it, but it hit HBO Max. Search Party definitely worth a watch.

I've heard that from multiple people, I think that will move to the top of my must watch list.

Devs was almost great. I had this conversation with a friend about Sonoya's performance, and he pointed out it's always a combination of acting, directing, editing, etc. I don't like the performance at all, but without a lot to reference in her career (she's had very limited roles in other things I've seen), I'm unwilling to simply say she's terrible.

Same here. I started it and watched maybe two episodes and got bored but I've read such good things and I respect this boards opinion so I may have to give it another go.

Riot, would you say it started slow in your opinion? Or am I just too ADD?

It definitely starts slow. They spend the first two or three episodes really setting up Uhtred's backstory before you get to odyssey with him.

One very appreciable thing about The Office: they consistently nail the big moments.

Some shows don't age well. This one is still funny as hell.

Disappointing season finale for Killing Eve to cap off a disappointing season. Jodie Comer is still incredible as Villanelle, but these past two seasons have been not up to par, mainly due to not being able to sustain the breakneck pace of season 1.
