Think I'll wait to binge.

Or I'll wait till ep.5, binge those, and that wait for the rest, and then binge those

Episode 4 is the best episode in the series so far, don't @ me.

Binged. Personally I thought it was a lot better than first season. May be because, thankfully, they toned down the mindfcukery a tad. lol.
Some seriously good performances too. Dont know about other nominees, but Thandie Newton deserves Emmy. EDIT: lol she already got it. Cool. Thumbs up

I see mah boi Cudder Proud

Not that season 2 was poor, but it was just a bit too in-depth storytelling wise and as a result clunky and lengthy during the a lot of the middle episodes.
That looks more interesting though! Slow storytelling needs to stay, but it also needs to be fast paced and exhilarating for a good change

by Kaladin Mon May 20, 2019 8:12 pm

Fancy dialogue, pretentious writing, terrible timeline jumping. The only thing interesting is Maeve's arc, i swear i couldn't care less about Bernard making confused faces and Dolores' witty allegory.

That being said, the premise is good. There is potential.

just watched episode one of the new season.
I can already tell i will be disinterested in Maeve's storyline just like how i was last season.
Dolores' story seems to be exciting though.

Great start to Season 3. Aaron Paul is a welcome addition to this show though I am really tempted to mentally fanfic his character as the grandson of Jesse Pinkman. Same brooding and demeanor.

by El Gunner Wed Mar 18, 2020 7:18 pm

^^ save to say he doesnt have the best range as an actor because he was exactly the same in Need for Speed. But yea, he has a decent presence

exciting to see what role my big bro Kid Cudi will have in this as well (he was also in Need for Speed). It obviously seems like he was a pal of Aaron Paul's when they were in the army together, but he died and so they uploaded his consciousness into an AI program hmm

I loved those scenes honestly. The reveal was predictable, but there was something kinda "Her" or "Black Mirror" about Francis that was fascinating and creepy.

by Pedram Fri Apr 10, 2020 12:33 am

Black Mirror with a touch of cyberpunk. really enjoying this season, was gonna drop this show after that convoluted second season.

I'm liking it, but no Anthony Hopkins is such a huge blow to the series.

by Pedram Sat Apr 11, 2020 9:17 pm

Just finished episode 4, wow you guys are missing a lot by ignoring this show.

Finished the new season. It started of great but it went off the rails as the season progressed. Nonsensical writing and character arcs.

by El Gunner Sun May 10, 2020 8:35 pm

is it done already?
but yea i kinda got that sense as well, last episode i watched was the genre one where Aaron Paul takes a drug that gives you different genre experiences that's when i knew the season was on a downward spiral Laughing

sounds just like S2. Still deciding whether I want to watch or not.

by M99 Sun May 10, 2020 11:31 pm

Heard its gonna get six seasons. Looking forward to them mainly because to see what more songs will Ramin Djiwadi make a cover of.

It fell off a cliff at the end. It was cheesy and dumb, kinda like a network show.

by McLewis Mon May 11, 2020 3:52 pm

Agreed. It was easier to digest than season 2, but the quality in the writing still wasn't there.

It felt like a network show likely because Jonathan Nolan has already done a network show about a homicidal AI. It was called Person of Interest. That was a good show in its own right, but it worked because it was a network show. Bringing that idea to premium content backfired.

The third season was so bad I didn't even get around to watching the fourth one.

Agreed that season 3 killed this show, the fourth season actually tried to redeem the series and apart from the ending was pretty good, i guess the rating wasn't good enough for HBO to justify extending it.

by El Gunner Sat Nov 05, 2022 6:37 am

yea i think i only lasted 2 or 3 episodes into S3... Between the high concept philosophical sci-fi stuff and all of the characters being so cold it was always doomed to fail though if the goal was to be HBO's next cash-cow after GoT. Now that House of Dragon has proven to be successful, i think the decision to cut it has become easier.
