@mariner4life oh no, oh no no no, this is not "switching off" TV. Move along and watch The Simpsons, you don't deserve HMT anyway.
Being told by my very feminist workmates that I "need" to see it and it's a "must watch" has made me leery. It's not hysterical feminist nonsense is it?
I recommend watching it, or just saying you watched it - and reporting back to her that it was great... a true Utopian vision.
(Edit: disclaimer - I haven't actually watched it yet myself, but I've read the books. I prefer to give it some time after reading books to watch any TV/movie made of them... I'm getting to the point where I'm nearly ready to give it a go, particularly as the TV has now outpaced the source material, I think?)

You probably shouldn't watch it if that's your viewpoint going into it.
It's a bit like Homeland in that it had a great first season and then lost then plot for subsequent seasons.

@kiwiwomble Yeah catch up on s3 and then dive into s4.
That's one thing i hate about good TV series now, that huge gaps between series and obviously covid messed that up even more.
I'll give HMT another go based on your recommendations. There are consequences for poor advice...
I think that the show fell off a cliff once the Margaret Atwood story ended and the TB guys took over the writing but I shall try, and on your head be it.
Agree about waiting times for the next series. Easy to lose interest. I tend to binge a whole series anyway, a long indulgent session can be more rewarding than a quickie for an hour.

You are even more of a shit stirrer than me. I would like to see the outcome of that conversation in video (landscape obviously) please @Frank .

Yes and with disappointing results I reckon, but I haven't started S4.
@R-L will be in for a serious spanking (figuratively of course) if it is shit.

I had the later thought - he could follow up with mentioning it had given him the idea of setting up a new political party - the "Sons of Jacob"...
- "... but I need 500 paying members, so... can I count on your support?"

I plan to binge watch it to take notes for my utopia come the economic collapse. Is that what these feminists secretly want?

I’m getting into the first series of The Terror. Ciaran Hinds, Jared Harris (Chernobyl). Pretty damn good so far. Based on the real life incident of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus getting stranded in the Arctic ice looking for the NW Passage. Other than that flimsy connection just a good suspenseful story. Worth a, what is it you guys call it? A hoon. Worth a hoon?

Got to admit, I was hoping for that reaction, and expecting it really...
I'll go out of my way to dislike HMT series 4 now.

I'm sure that you never do.
Your giffing is excellent.

Watched both S1 & S2. Enjoyed both.
S2 - set in one of FDR's concentration camps for Japanese Americans - is slower and more of a ghost story but still damn good.

Your Honor.
Great premise, great lead (Brian Cranston), but poor writing and execution. Absolute crap ending. Waste of 10 hours of my life.

Absolutely crap ending as well.
+1. His son was an annoying character. His Honor should have let the gangster kill him.
