Netflix renews the sandman for season two. Whew
HBO cancels Westworld.
losing Henry cavil as the Witcher is a blow, too. He’s made it known that the show runners seem to hate the source material while Henry respects it
Watching E3 of Tales From the Territories on VICE. The series delves into the history of the regional wrestling associations that existed before the WWE took control. E3 is about the AWA.
No, just a bunch of carnies.That would be fun although I suspect they were each run by a different organized crime syndicate.
Dammit Derry Girls is so good.
My wife and I just finished watching the series 1899 on Netflix. It's an eight part, single season series, although I could see the possibility of a follow up season. Most of the episodes were less than an hour long, so it wasn't a terrible ordeal to binge through it.
It started out very promising, I thought. The year is 1899 and 1500 people or so are on a large ocean liner traveling from an unnamed European port to the US. Somewhere in the North Atlantic the ship receives a message (just coordinates on a map) that they deduce has been sent by a sister ship that has been missing at sea for four months. The captain makes the decision to veer off course and head to the coordinates, where they find the missing ship in a very peculiar and creepy condition.
At that point they have my attention. Then, the show tumbles down a rabbit hole that I'm not sure I could explain here, even if I wanted to post spoilers.
I wouldn't say the show is great, but I wouldn't say it is terrible either. My wife and I just looked at each other after the finish, and were like, "uh, ok?" I would say that the primary problem with the show is that it tended to drag at times in the middle episodes.
I'm curious if anyone else has watched it, and their reaction.
S1 of The Terror for episodes 1-8 or possibly somewhere into 9 was brilliant but E10 at the very least was one of the worst endings to such brilliance that I recall.
Heroes level?
