@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.

@majorrage i think I bailed after the goat episode?
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.

Fair'nuff. I found S1 fairly innocuous... a sub-standard rich-cowboy version of those shows above. Hoping that S2 learns from reviews, and either: goes balls-to-the-wall ridiculous - like SOA. Or - goes for quality and drama, a-la Shield. I guess the likelihood is that it tries to do both, but fucks up the execution. Still... it's not like I've got 60 other seasons of TV in the backlog.
Oh... wait... -
@voodoo said in TV Serieseseses:
I wouldn't put SOA anywhere near Yellowstone. Acting massively inferior, plot lines more predictable, just didn't get invested in the characters the same way
Haha yeah, we’re definitely opposites. Aside from the Ireland series SOA was good dumb fun. Even the above mentioned Sheridan was ok acting in SOA.

Good dumb fun. I can live with that. But the main bloke Charlie Hunnum (?) was really bad
I didn't make it to the Ireland series!

I have been watching the worldwide hit for Netflix - Squid Game.
Very innovative and slick until the introduction of the foreign VIPs to the game (white guys) . Their dialogue seems to be how the writer imagined white people talk.
Laughably cheesy..Sounds like the Resident Evil voice acting then.
Three episodes in and loving it so far. Very immersive and you don’t even notice the dubbing.

On the back of this discussion I started Yellowstone.
-Stop fucking mumbling! Or if you are going to mumble make sure the show is distributed only on platforms with captions (useless Neon)
- The not hot chick. Not hot. Bra working overtime to push what she has up under her chin.
- Characters very unbelievable. At least with SOA the setup was so far removed from normal life for viewers that the characters could be as outrageous as they liked.
Not doing it for me.
