Bear - just have the last ep to go.
Fantastic scripting, acting, direction, filming etc. Interesting characters. I am enjoying it but in all of its search for authenticity every now and then it does something really jarring on the food front.
##spoiler
an example would be the pastry chef dude, after all of his dedication and study toward making a perfect donut gets a 'revelation' to use a yeasted dough rather than a cake one. WTF? Donuts are a yeasted dough. That's your start point.
##endspoilerI've never worked in a US kitchen or for a US chef but I think the obsession levels and toxic environments are actually realistic over there. The kitchen talk and constant 'yes chef' stuff is well overdone from my experience but I do understand that's how they have taken something and become over-serious with it.
I will disagree with the notion the he worked like that at Noma though. Noma is well known as a very quiet zen like kitchen and not a place of high stress -
so, Westworld.
I know I liked it, but at the same time it missed the mark at time, sometimes trying to be a bit clever?
Assume that was the finale?

There seemed to be a lot of hints at "one last adventure" in the last few minutes... so 1 more season?

@Kruse yeah I wondered that, and goes back to the start...?
I got the impression she was talking about going to "the Valley Beyond" - and it might be set there?
Which, presumably, would mean... yeah - a Western. But - I can't think of any possible storyline anywhere close to the "stakes" of the more recent serieseses. -
Found Open All Hours in full on YouTube!
Quite a but of sexual humour in it, which surprised me...1973!!!

Devil in Ohio
Brooding series about satanic abuse in Ohio. Two episodes in and an atmospheric slow-burner. 7/10 so far

So I’m giving Rings of Power a go and I’m no JRR fanboy so have no issue with lore, so it’s not that.
I’m most of the way through ep1 and I’m thinking this is expensive dogshit. Not much of a story so far, disjointed and with pretty much wooden acting. Please tell me it gets better quickly.
The problem is not the show, but mysognisitic, racist arseholes who can't get with the modern age
Nek minute (like next week)
and then
Yeah last episode was fucking dire. Numenor is the biggest part, and it's arse. The united nations of numenor mothers seemed woke to me (and I'm pretty lefty woke type) and then the elf protest was so much like a school play. Really bad acting and bad writing (elves stealing our jobs WTAF?). Galadriel acts like a moody, dumb teen - not a thousands of years old super being.
Predictions by me
##spoiler
Oh, and Halbrand is Sauron - you heard it here first. Use their fears to control them? Whoa.
Meteor man is a Balrog, too.

Pretty funny.
Tremendous series
The last episode was bloody funny. I am expecting a twist but that just took away what I was thinking…..possibly.

Just mentioned Reservation Dogs on the SW thread so thought I’d check in here. Anyone else watching S2?
I really like this show. Strikes a perfect balance IMO and the characters are brilliant. I doubt Taika has much to do with it past setting it up but I love how the Native American humour is so in tune with our own. You could see this same show being set somewhere like the Far North wit hardly any changes.
