I read some of the comic (Y: The Last Man). I thought the art was awful and gave up on it. The story seemed kind of interesting.

I always forget that part.
It was written by Brian K Vaughn. You are right, the art is to a taste, but his storytelling is so good.
Y the Last Man got him hired from seasons 3 to 5 of LOST. His first episode was The Man From Tallahassee where we find out how John Locke was put in a wheelchair.
His comic book season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was pretty effinâ good too!! So many kitty cats.
Oh yeah and Xander ended up with Buffyâs younger sister (THE KEY) Dawn 
Conner singing Leonard Cohen was so awesome because he is my favourite musician and it was just plot perfect.
This is top three episodes all time in terms of character development. Just awesome.
Pride Of Baghdad is also a high point of the genre.
I am also a big fan of Saga, although it is somewhat meandering. But I award a lot of points for originality and Saga is, if anything, original.

Called it.
So when journalist, entertainment reporter, and writer for Variety Michael Lee Simpson (offsite) asked me whether I was looking forward to the new Amazon series based on JRR Tolkienâs Lord of the Rings, I didnât hesitate.
I told him the truth.
âItâs probably going to suck.â
But moments before I could tell him why itâs probably going to suck, he told me to wait my turn. I was going to be in his next article for Creative Screenwriting with at least three other people from the movie business:
- Actress/director/producer Anna Rezan (Like a Summer Night, Beauty Before Age, My People)
- Writer, actor, and director Ricardo Cordero (The Escape, Pretend, the Suicide TV series)
- David Seth Cohen, Founder of Legitimate Rascal Films and writer/director of Finding Sandler
- and Stephenie Magister (thatâs me!)

I havenât even started it yet and I love LOTR. Guess I need to watch it before it gets written off and ends on Freevee.
Although I still havenât watched any of The Hobbit trilogy, which I have never heard good things about but still feel compelled to watch some day.
Back to the sopranos

disagree, i hate on a lot of shows but that one was fine. certainly an easier watch in 1 hr episodes, than 3.5 hr installments of a trilogy. f that noise

Last episode of Succession was a classic. Amazing. On my third rewatch.

If youâre an LOTR fan, then it is plenty good enough.
Itâs not surprising that people donât finish. Would we be surprised that people donât finish Tolkienâs books? Itâs basically that style, turned into a TV series.

The show moves faster than the books.
