@Catogrande As there is no spoiler button I deliberately avoided giving too much information. It's an action thriller set in and around the White House and involving spies, moles, the FBI, the Secret Service and some bad guys. I am 6 episodes in so have 4 to go. The show has already been renewed for a second season by Netflix.

@Tim By the sounds of it Cordoba will be able seamlessly replace his research with Chat GPT.
I have a mate who is a Professor and he has regaled me with stories of the importance of publishing. All he does is mentor PhD students, write books and give talks around the world.
He ain't ever going to retire. He even picked up a gig as 0.25 of an FTE for a European university standing in line next to said varsity's Chancellor who had heard him speak and wants him on board. Now has a month's 'work' in Europe every northern summer.
Obviously not a scientific discipline.

The Last of Us
Finished
Thanks to those saying give it a second go
Peaked at Episode 3 for me
That was top of the notch TVCould have made it leaner and tighter and got it done in 6 episodes without losing anything IMHO
Not sure I’ll be tuning in for Season 2
Where can it go?

I think the producers of The Walking Dead should have asked that question after about season four.
Those post apocalyptic shows have a habit of running out of steam REALLY fast.
Do they need an ongoing lead villain like Negan/the Governor or more focus on the undead for next season ?

@MN5 yeah I think if they are smart, they do it for a couple of seasons, otherwise the content is just repetitive.
I hung on about 4 seasons too long for TWD hoping/expecting some kind of change/end....I think it has ended now hasnt it, probably 8 seasons too many.
as for S2 of TLOU, I guess it depends how they do it, I mean having an overall storyline with the smaller ones each week is better than just a long ongoing saga (see Negan) but all still comes back to the quality of the writing.
BUt as I have said before, I am a sucker for this genre, so I'll be all in for S2.

I am too, I loved Resident Evil/Silent Hill etc on the Playstation ( I’ve never actually played Last of us, life gets in the way of gaming these days )
These shows all start brilliantly, none more so than Fear the Walking Dead Cliff Curtis and the gang trying desperately to get on that rich dudes boat was sensational, exciting and gripping TV. Problem was once they actually made it things got boring REALLY quick.

Ted Lasso - jury a long way out on S3 so far
Not sure how I feel about the actress playing Keeley being replaced by a talking skeleton.
Yeah, horrible innit

It's based on a computer game so the story is in theory all planned out. But it they go that way there could be....some backlash.

@Tim said in TV Serieseseses:
Rabbit Hole is pretty fun. It could well tie itself in a knot and end-up delaying resolution for several seasons though.
I'm worried it could be like that Blacklist show which had a great set up and could have been excellent if two series at most but decided against wrapping up the story and went forever.

White Lotus
watched it on a few flights we've taken recently....dont get all the hype (other than brief scenes where we get to see Sydney Sweeny and Alex daddario in bikinis)
-
Finished Parks & Recreation over the weekend.
Oddly, I watched the first few eps a couple of times in the past and couldnt get into it, then decided to go beyond my usual 3 eps to decide as I know people that enjoyed it and I gotta say, it did get much better.
Also finished S1 of an Idiot Abroad, some gold in there!

Succession
S04 E03
DID NOT SEE THAT COMING
Been a brilliant start to the final season
Can they keep it going for another 7 episodes?

Not sure I will like it as much with the best character not in it anymore.

Currently watching a bit of a masterpiece of a show, which I believe is virtually unknown.

Stacey Dooley Ready for War on the bbc is a good watch.
Really hope the counterattack starts soon and that Ukraine crushes Russia.

Sadly unlikely, conscripts and masses aren't that great on attack, but defence is much easier - even freezing starving Argentinian conscripts did OK in places in the FI

Yes. Give the a kicking, get them the fuck out of Ukraine and leave it there.
