@nostrildamus I could not get into The Mandalorian. Found it as boring as bat shit.
Do you have to be up with the rest of the Star Wars canon to appreciate it?
I can't remember when I gave up on the Star Wars movies but it was a long time ago. I think I saw maybe one of the prequal movies.
Quite disappointing as Manalorian was the main reason I subscribed.
I gave up on Star Wars too, after Phantom Menace.
Imagine dragging a girlfriend along who is uneasy at this new development; realising her boyfriend is an avid Star Wars fan. Then making her sit through two of the prequels after (slightly) convincing her the first one wasn't a reflection on what I grew up with and would surely be fixed for Episode II. One of which she fell asleep in (Attack of the Clones). I waited until Revenge of the Sith was on DVD. By then we were married and she left me to witness what remained of my SW childhood be ruined.

Good riddance to short-arsed Tom Cruise. How the hell he ever thought he could pull off Jack Reacher is beyond me.
This dude looks just how Jack Reacher should look!
Nah, too beefcakey.
Drifter doesn't go to no gyms.
Massively better than Cruise though.
Could be entertaining if they stick to the lines of the earlier books. They have seriously jumped the shark these days.
They used to be feasible if not incredible but now they just consist of Reacher walking into a town, beating the shit out of everyone he doesnt kill, possibly having a root then moving on

i thought he has just described a show i would absolutely watch the shit out of
Even Banshee had a little bit of plot.
i think i only watched one season. what i saw was the greatest show of all time. absolutely none of it made sense
but hot naked women and gratuitous violence were very big green ticks
Banshee is epic. Season 3 was pretty crap though.
I can get that the Mandalorian isn't for everyone. I think you can argue it's made out to be better than it actually is due to the terrible sequels. But some episodes and scenes are great, as are the characters they introduce. The Luke cameo alone cancels out any of the meh factor.

@roninwc I liked the look of Invasion but had seen many poor reviews, so was gonna wait until done and binge it.
I can understand why early reviews have been negative, because I have to admit, I struggled with eps 2-4 but 5-8 have been much better and now I understand the first few eps much better with the story and plot being drip fed throughout the eps.
One of those series where the whole is much better than the parts, especially the first 3-4 eps.
I was the opposite. Enjoyed Eps 1-6 which had some great plots and characters but thought it fell away badly after that and the whole thing, esp. the action scenes, became really repetitive and unoriginal.

Fucken slow burner though eh! I decided I'd give it 3 episodes but it's been a hard slog...
True Story. Yeah finished it and despite the flat ending it's pretty good. Felt like watching a movie - and probably a Guy Ritchie one.

Forget trying to convert them, just leave them to their empty, Star Wars devoid lives.

Fair call and I wouldn't disagree.
Waiting on Friday for the last episode to drop and then will binge the last two back to back.

I guess I was disappointed as the first 5 or 6 episodes were really really good and original. Just hope it picks up and gets back on track.

3 episodes in to The Wheel of Time
who are we supposed to be rooting for again? Almost every single character is some level of an unlikeable dick
Sappy pouty Anakin-Skywalker-From-Wish
Thievy McSelfish
Broody McSulk
I-love-you-but-i-want-to-be-a-priestess-oh-wait-that-options-gone-i-love-youThen there is the unfeeling witch and her king simp
And then the village witch comes back and is just a fucking dick
I'm starting to root for the goat dudes, at least i understand them.

Same as the book, pretty much. Perrin probably the most likeable in the books. Lan is good just because he's a well hard bastard. But really they're a bunch of fluffybunnies, who don't talk like grown adults to allow lots of misconceptions to further the plot

Finished S1 of The Great, and it is fucking great!
NIcholas Hoult's character, Peter steals the show though!
Frequently used line - Huzzah, now fuck off!

Creative team have done a great job distilling the books for TV. A lot of changes but somehow have made the books better.
Apparently this last series might be setting up movies to tell the final part of the story (which I read last week)
