Which TV Series Are You Binging On?

I'm going to watch it again and I may change my mind.

Unlike Breaking bad, which I loved, PLURIBUS hasn't had what i'd call a down episode yet until...

BB, which I also really liked, to me was very much up and down every season.

Better Call Saul was almost a perfect show!

The ending really emotionally destroyed me. Gonna take a few days to get over it. I grew up watching 80s teen/adventure/sci-fi movies so this show has been special to me.

My wife and I are watching Eclipse of Illusion. I've been introducing her to one of my special interests, wǔxiá television and movies. It was an easy sell, because she loves fantasy, plus it's bǎihé, so that's a bonus.

We love these idiots

Most seems to see it as a massive failure. I have mixed feelings about it (watched all seasons back to back). They pulled another Lost. Most of the Mystery/Supernatural things were not properly resolved, but rather abandoned with a lot of plot holes. Raised more questions than it gave answers. In the end, similar to Lost, it was never about the mystery. It was about the characters and them growing up. A group of friends who grew up together, fall in love for the first time and have to let go, which can break a heart. Face their fears in case of a coming out. Become adults and go different ways (college, new city, etc.). A group of older teens becoming friends and face different challenges at an older age. Parents that struggle raising kids or losing one, living in grief to learn to live again and find a new love. And that cycle will repeat with the next generation.

Similar to Lost, once one accepts this it just works despite the plot holes and things the Duffer brothers changed along the way (Brenner's father being the first scientist in the Abyss, Henry being taken there for 12h as a child, etc.) vs what the actually showed in Season 5. First time I watched Lost I hated the end. When I watched it again and knew what was coming I enjoyed that it was all about the characters, not the Island and mysteries. Same with S5 of ST, it's about people growing up or going through their lives in case of the older ones, not about alternate dimensions or planets. That's just there to make it a little bit more interesting.
 
I'm starting the 2nd season of Pantheon.

I can't give over how much Stephen Holstrom resembles Steve Jobs.🤔 Characters are imaginary, any resemblance to persons living or dead is coincidental, my 🍑.😏 The guy has less than 5 minute of screen time in season 1, yet is a major driving force in the story. Not even Eddard Stark could claim that much influence.🤓

We finished season 5 of Jack Bauer…what a show! Still loved it after all these years. It was considered the best ones and that’s true.
 
Ok, not binging yet, because they aren't up yet, but soon will be --

Saint-Pierre Season 2 (interesting in how one of the actors has moved from the tropics (Death in Paradise) to sub Arctic)
Patience Season 2 (season 1 made me a bit weepy, recognising the way I was treated when younger)
The Pitt Season 2 (acknowledged by ER staff as particularly accurate, even if they did squeeze a month's worth of incidents into one day)

We just started the first season of The Pitt, and that show is INTENSE. It hit home for me in the first episode with the guy having the bowel obstruction (landed me in the hospital for 4 months), and the episode with the elderly patient that had an advanced medical directive. We just went through a similar experience 2 years ago when my father-in-law passed away, so it was a bit emotional for my wife watching. But its a great show, and we're looking forward to finishing it and then starting on season 2 when its released.
 
I just started Record of Ragnarok.

Man vs God in a best of 13 tourney to determine the future of mankind. Fun premise. Nice art, WWE spectacle, but almost zero story line. The fighting is typical shonen anime eg. fights that last multiple episodes and seemingly defeated characters unlock hidden power ups.🤓

If you're a fan of 90's fighting games like Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Mortal Combat, you might find it entertaining for awhile. If you're a fan of mythology, history or heroes of yore, you're going to hate this show. They take extreme liberties with the backstories of the gods and heroes.

It's a train wreck of a show, but I can't stop watching it. So much fan service for Shonen Jump fans. Zeus is a carbon copy of Muten Roshi of Dragonballz fame. Both are lecherous, which is inline with mythology Zeus👍. Both are scrawny old men in their base form, but are outrageously ripped and buff in their powered up form.
