I thought the Beard Ep was about the worst piece of TV I have ever seen. So boring, so out of place. Xmas Ep right behind it. Just terrible.
Agree re Nate

I'm just getting bored of it as it appears they wrote a season and then got extended, so now they're delving further into the characters to fill it out.
Yeah. I wrote a post earlier that I had to delete as the spoiler thing got in a tangle.
Agree that there are too many add on storylines to characters. I get that the premise of the show is that not everyone is how they appear but characters like Beard were great just being a mystery. We don't need even more angles to Jamie. Leave him as the dickhead on a path to redemption. Although Keeley is a popular character we don't need another mess to come her way for her to show things.
In other words keep to the core. -

They wrote a season, then Apple demanded 2 more episodes be "injected somewhere". So given they couldn't mess with the structure in any meaningful way, they padded the series out with 2 x fillers. And whether you love them or hate them (and it's clear where I stand!), they are immediately recognisable.
The show was great when it was simple, just a feel good show about the players and the team. A mate's wide described it as a kids show for adults - that was enough for me.

@nepia it's SOA in Yellowstone!
Yeah, I think going in I thought it was a drama about ranchers, not a a slightly racist drama about mobsters who just happen to be ranchers.
Plus I can't stand that redhead chick.
have to say im looking forward to the new series There is a bit of a cliffhanger
personally...shes just on the right side of the Crazy/Hot diagonal

I don't find her hot at all so she's just way along the horizontal axis for me. I almost find her scenes unwatchable.
I'm giving it until the end of S1, now that I'm watching it like SOA and not the serious drama it looks like on ads etc, and will see if I keep going after that.

I suspect Nicole has a plastic surgeon on speed dial...

9 perfect strangers.
I’ve taken one for the team here. Just don’t.
First few episodes quite fascinating, Kidman excellent. Then it all just goes to shit. Terrible series.
Other half has suggested that. I’ll show her your review and that should change her mind, cheers pal
I want to watch the Squid one where the Asians get killed brutally instead.

I have watched the first 4 or 5 of these. Liked the premise. Interesting cast. Lots of mysterious dialogue that makes you think something really fucking mind blowing is going to happen....really soon.....
But it just doesn't

Yeah plenty of people talking out it...mindless fun, bits I saw the dubbing didn't even seem that bad which usually hate.
I'd on my watch list, wife won't watch it though, says it looks stupid...chicks!

I’ve had a few mates of the other half say it’s good. So there you go brudda, say that some bloke who you’ve known for 15 or so years online has a mrs that’s friends enjoyed it. Sorted.

I was intending to watch the first ep of Foundation last night but forgot about it.
Watched the first couple of episodes. Found it a bit like GoT in Space. Def. worth sticking to as it could be a slow burner

So it will be good for a few seasons then go nowhere and ultimately disappoint?

Hopefully not, given the source material is complete, unlike GoT where the fat pistonwristedgibbon writer still hasn't produced a new book.

Yep... she's not hot enough to be as arrogant as she is.
In that... not hot at all. Actively unattractive. Which is distracting in its own way.
But anyway - yeah, decided very early on - this is SOA, or The Shield, or any fucking Kurt Sutter show - but with rich cowboys. And with that in mind, it's relatively enjoyable bullshit TV. -

Damn, we should never watch TV together bro. I loved Yellowstone, devoured every episode. You can keep your Beard on the town shit! (ps better EP this week!)

Too much shabby plotting and characterisation for me. Even Costner can’t save it for me personally.
I really think the writer/director (Taylor Sheridan) is way overrated. The only script of his I’ve actually liked is Sicario and that’s probably due to Deni Villanue (sp?) and Roger Deakins.
