Well they are really having fun with the Wheel of Time.

I was really hoping season 3 would follow the books a little more - nope

Plus the first episode was quite slow for most of it.

Moraine working with Lanfear to get Rand to Tear was the biggest difference from the book. Moraine would never have done that.

Rand going to Rhuidean before going to Tear.

No Elaida in the Tower that I can see - one of the most important characters in the book.

The confrontation at the Tower.

I should have waited until the second episode about Elaida.

And I guess it is kinda following the book just way out of order.

Yeah with how many books and how long they are it was never realistic for them to follow the books. Some changes are expected though some of them are unacceptable. I've given up with holding true to the books and enjoying it for finally bringing them to my TV. I'm actually enjoying this season a lot so far.

Game of Thrones actually followed the books with only minor changes until the last book. And then they ran out of material.

I just binge watching Running Point and that was actually a really good show.

I give it a thumbs up.

Had to laugh that he was a Buddhist and I am not meaning that in a down way. Jackson was also a Buddhist. That's what made me laugh.

Yeah the wheel of time is an impossible series to follow exactly especially with only 8 episodes a year.

Now if they did 22 episodes a year for 8 years, then maybe. But I would still cut books 8 9 and 10 into one season.

I mean the first 6 chapters in Book 9 could be done in 15 minutes.

And game of thrones did 4 books in 5 seasons with 11 episodes a season.

Severance season 2 was so amazing. I thought the first season was so brilliant that I doubted a 2nd season would do it justice. Boy was I wrong!! I sure hope it doesnt take another 3 years to see a season 3!!!!

Anyone watching the White Lotus season 3?
Thru 6 episodes, and all I can say is that it's still building....

Finished Reacher season 3 and like season 2, it was just "ok" for me
What makes the Jack Reacher character so interesting is he's basically a genius in the body of a monster. But the show just seems to focus on the physical side of things.

Holy crap what a show. Started binging it this week and loving it so far. I'll be caught up today.


I binged Season 1 & 2 this weekend. Back spasms had me laid up on the couch so I decided to do what I normally regret... start watching a series. This one started a little slow but hooked me hard.

Now I'm stuck waiting for Season 3. SOB! This is why I normally refuse to watch series'.

My guess for Season 3's title is... Work Wife?
Wait till Mark leaves the office and gets home after this last episode. I can't imagine the shit storm that is about to reach Category 5 Level hitting now that you know who has left the building.

Talk about a fucking Cliff Hanger.

That’s why Becky and I generally look for shows that are 3 seasons or more.

We’re rewatching Ozarks. Pretty good series. She’s a huge Justin Bateman fan.

Well the good news is that it should only be a year for season 3. I was fortunate to have watched season 1 a couple months ago, those who watched season 1 when it came out had to wait almost 3 years for season 2!! Yikes....

Yeah... I read about that last night after I finished the last episode... that would have forced me to swear off all series period.

Hopefully Mark finally stops at Great Clips on his way home... and Gemma lets her hair grow out.

I still cannot decide if Helly is hot or not. I go back and forth. Her walk is a turn off for me.

We watched 5 or 6 episodes of the Ozarks and my wife and I just could not get into it.

Felt so wrong even remotely rooting for Bateman's character.

For me to watch a show, I have to be somewhat rooting for the main character.

Dexter is another show that is hard for me to watch. But I have been able to somewhat root for him.
