The Television Streaming Thread: Part III

I do think the way that he was clearly derailed by COVID and needing to improvise the remainder of the season should get him a fair amount of latitude about this. But definitely the early-season episodes were the best.

It’s really only the first episode that stands totally alone from the rest of the season, I think.

Maybe that wasn’t the best term, but I figured that a 1/3 of the way through I was past the point of no return. Given Fielder’s body of work up until that point, I felt like I had to see it through.

I tried so hard to watch this but felt bored the entire first episode.

I wasn’t superimpressed with E1 but it has grown on me a LOT

Just started S1 due to this post. Prettay, prettay good. It’s basically the perfect formula for reliable Melk entertainment. High floor, ceiling has a wide range of possibilities.

Hell yeah, enjoy!

From what I understand, this version of the title character is much more true to the source material than the Tom Cruise version, and book readers are pleased. I think the story and setting of season 1 put it above the other seasons. My current ranking is 1>>>3>2 but there are 4 episodes left in S3 so we’ll see.

The physicality was the biggest issue with Tom Cruise playing Reacher, he could do the tough guy attitude fine but at the end of the day he is just a wee little man. The new guy looks like Reacher 100%, may be a little more taciturn than I’d like, but is still doing a great job at the 2 key elements of Reacher: Kicking people’s asses, and violating crim’s civil rights! (even if they totally deserve it…)

First two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again deliver. Also there are some real Trump parallels with the Wilson Fisk/Kingpin character. Looking forward to the rest
