@raznomore apparently the character in the comic is English.
-
@antipodean Oh I know he's supposed to be English. I just meant I didn't know what accent he was attempting but is not English.
-
@raznomore yeah he drifts in and out of it...maybe that is what they wanted, who knows, reckon they coulda just let him loose with a Kiwi or Aussie accent.

fuck i am going to have to watch some TV!
Started Jack Ryan last night, thought it was pretty bloody good actually.
With the significant number of shows and seasons coming out these days, i think it is almost guaranteed i will never end up watching the classics i have missed, like The Wire (yes Nepia, i know) and Breaking Bad. That probably also goes for the stuff i started but never finished, like House of Cards, Billions, and Westworld
Considering right now i have a list that includes 4 Amazon shows, and Last Chance U. For a dude who watches 60-90 minutes of TV 4 nights a week, that is already a big ask.

@mariner4life I had low expectations for Jack Ryan, but it was good I thought.

@mariner4life exactly same for me. I usually watch an hour/night tops. I also like to read. There isn't enough time to catch all the new seasons of stuff I've already enjoyed without starting new series.
-
@Kirwan yeah there are some series where the bad guy keeps escaping week after week after week and it often becomes boring with the same singular storyline...
Better ones have an underlying story that runs through eps while having a smaller story each week.
A series I finished, London Kills had a story that ran through both series (5 eps each) but each ep was a different crime.

And I have low expectations on the story, not everything can be well written. As long as it's entertaining, I can be pretty forgiving.
I made it to the end of that Another Life, a germ of a good idea (if horribly cliched) but terribly executed. Still, lots of unintentional lol moments.

Watch Breaking Bad. Probably the best series that I have watched. Sopranos is up there, but it is great entertainment.

@Snowy I agree, unbelievably good story and acting. Even the wife loved that show, and it's pretty dark (which is not her cup of tea)
My wife loved it too - but she does like dark plots.
We discard a lot of shows but were hooked on that.
