@Kruse That's Innuit woke you racist.
Do I get away with it with "that was the joke" ?

True Detective Season Four
Outstanding. Issa López made a worthy successor to the first season.
I thought it was absolute shit.
But then, it was featuring a culture other than european-white-men.
In fact - some (paranoid-delusionals) - might consider it was pushing a culture other than WMA.
So yeah - probably not your cup of tea.3 episodes in and I can't quite make up my mind up. The Inuit side of things I actually quite like and adds a lot to the acting and atmosphere, but I hope it improves - bit underwhelming at times

Oh yes
Good grief. Can they really keep milking this show and make it interesting? Started out amazing but I’m fairly sure I gave up when the hundreds of bullets aimed at Negan all miraculously missed just so he’d be around to be the bad guy for yet another season.

I gave up when I couldn't distinguish the plot from one season to another.

Shogūn
Based on Clavell's book
Two episodes have been aired
It is very goodOne of my read once a year books. I hope it sticks reasonably to the characters, even if there is no way they can do the full story. I hope we don't see a watering down of the brutality and beauty of the book. The events less important than the characters and the atmoshhere

@Machpants some pleasant gets their head cut off at random in the first episode. So there's that
Well that's in the book!

First nations enters the chat.

@Kruse said in TV Serieseseses:
Anyway - always suspected (spoiler alert) - that they'd try to step back from the supernatural side as it got to the end, while leaving an element of "ooohhh... perhaps...?" in the background. Which... yeah, duh - but... they did kinda overplay the scooby-doo shit early on.
Isn't that a common TD theme?

I wanted to like it.
Found the two main characters distinctly unlikeable.
All the good police work is done by their young assistant. -
Most TV shows are complete shit. David Chase has stated that they are now written so that people can still follow them if they are using their phone throughout.
Tokyo Vice season two is very good. Best thing on TV by a mile. Looks great too. Night time shots are very nice.

Are you part of the marketing team for this show? As this is the second time in a couple of weeks you've posted this. Season 1 was ok, but it must have made huge improvements in S2 for it to be the best thing on TV.
I don't have Paramount Plus anymore so will have to wait to confirm your hype.

Are you forgetting @Tim 's nightly drunken "This is the best thing EVER!" posts during Season 1?
I started S1 - but never finished. It did look good, but to be honest - I'm usually doing something else in parallel when watching TV. So - I'm part of the problem as Tim describes it - the target audience who is happy with simple stuff for half-attention.
For certain shows - where the visuals, subtitles, and/or storyline demand full attention - I'll try to focus properly - but at the time I'd started trying Tokyo-Vice - I just didn't have the time to give that full attention.
I'll give it another go at some point
