I read the books back around 2010-11, but forgot about the show. My wife watched it, but I never got around to it. I'll have to put it on my short list.

I never would have thought you’d challenge Gatt for worst takes on the board,… yet here we here. You certainly rose to the challenge 🤣😂

I started this show last weekend and it's very good. Very original and different. Every time I think I know where it's heading, it turns the other way. I'm almost finished with season 1.
Keep going! I love it, really one of the best sci-fi shows I've watched in a long time. Novel ideas and rich with potential. Season 2 is much better than Season 1 and I liked season 1. I hope they greenlight this show until the idea is fully explored/completed.

I'm on S02E05, and E08 dropped last night, so I'll be caught up by this weekend. Yeah, it's novel to say the least. Some of it is what I imagine an acid trip would be like. :) Definitely unique and full of twists and turns in the plot. I have developed a genuine hatred for Campion, though. His constant hyper-emotional adolescent BS gets on my last nerve. I'd like to see him get eaten by an alien. LOL

Watched The Adam Project last night. Have to say I was very entertained. And with that, found out that Deadpool 3 is on the horizon.

ha ha, he's a difficult character to like. Part of me is impressed by this young boy who has strong empathy despite the barbaric conditions in which he's raised and part of me gets tired of the "emo on Mars" thing.

There are definitely some demon agents spawned from acid psychosis. It's such a wonderful show, I really hope HBO has the good sense to renew for the 3rd season. The showrunner has stated his vision involved 5 seasons, I hope we get them all to see this thing fully developed.

Finished Yellowstone. Originally thought this would be the final season, but given the season finale, it looks like they talked Costner into another season.

The Dropout on Hulu. Based on Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.

Amanda Seyfried is excellent.

"The Knick". "The Knick", "The Knick"!

Such a great series that got cancelled after the second season. Please watch it and let's bring it back!

Cheers and Go Irish!!

I find the last few 'villains' could have been built up more... it's like right when you are starting to sense your own true dislike of them they die. I hope they make this crusty witch CEO lady more impactful before Beth drops her in a vat of slow dissolving acid.

Yellowstone is awesome... embellished, but awesome. Watch "The Knick"... please! Early medicine, law, religious values, drugs, typhoid Mary... it has a great range of historical topics and shocking revelations.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

Really enjoyed this one. Ryan Reynolds is pretty much a one-trick pony at this point, but as long as it keeps working, he should keep riding that smartass humor to the bank. And I'll keep watching, for the record... that's no criticism.

I also thought the kid did a great job of matching his timing and cadence, which was crucial.

It was nice to see a contained, one-off plot, too... as long as they don't decide to get whacky with time-travel implications in a sequel.

Bish and ACamp... have you had a chance to see The Knick? I'm scared I'm over-hyping it, but one of my favorite series. If you are fascinated by medical innovation, law of man and church and business... this covers it all. Well rated by critics and viewers. Never figured out why it didn't get renewed for a third season. Brilliant acting and characters. Please watch and let's get a chance for additional seasons!

Cheers and Go Irish!!

Watching the Laxers series on HBO. Pretty damn good so far. I love the 1980s Lakers Celtics era. So good.

Watched E1-E2 of HALO on Paramount+. Never played the game but the production value is great. Hopefully it doesn't turn into too much of a soap opera.

Also watched E1 of Moon Knight. Not true to the original... or at least Moon Knight of the 70's-80's but I liked it. It's lining up to be the Egyptian Venom.

I haven't yet. I hadn't even heard of it until you started touting it. Great reviews though, and based on your rec, it's next up for me after I finish The Last Kingdom (probably sometime next week). I'll let you know what I think, and I appreciate the heads up on the show. It certainly sounds like something I'll love.

I was going to jump on The Knick train, but it requires a subscription and I already have too many! lol

So Bishop, don't leave me hanging. Did you finish? Thoughts? This show is going to be a tough sell to some so don't hold back. I was definitely their intended market.

Yes, I've watched all the episodes of both seasons. I like it, but it's gotten weirder as Season 2 went along. I thought they were going to explore the religion/atheism angle more. It never fails to go into unexpected realms and take twists and turns when you least expect it. It's incredibly original and unique. Still a bit of an acid trip at times, though! I'll be looking forward to Season 3. I need to know what The Voice or God or The Big Kahuna is going to turn out to be: alien, god, supercomputer, or mother of all androids?

So, I was happily rolling along midway through season 2 of The Last Kingdom when you suggested I watch The Knick. Fine, I'll get to it. Then you mentioned it again and I thought, "What harm can come of just watching 1 episode?" So, I'm now about to finish season 1 of The Knick. :)

Yes, it's absolutely outstanding. How in the world did it get cancelled???

Wife and I watched the first 2 episodes,... some of the visuals are hard to take and I'm having a hard time liking nay of the characters. It's very well made and acted however.

I think that's one of the things that makes it a good show. None of the characters are your typical TV show pure saint or pure demon. They're all real people with some good and bad in them. Some are a bit more unlikeable than others, though.
