Game of Thrones - Season 8

This season suffered from having too few episodes to wrap up the series. I did enjoy the character interactions after being separated for so long and was generally satisfied with their respective fates in the finale, but how the story got there was too abbreviated. 3/5

Twin Peaks - Season 1

I've seen a few David Lynch movies, but never this TV series and even though it's signature David Lynch, I still found it surprisingly funny. What a great cast too. 4/5

Without spoiling anything, I can tell you that season 2 is also fantastic BUT its kind of different. Still great in its own way though. And if you're a David Lynch fan, you'll really enjoy Twin Peaks: The Return.

I promised the tribute band Fuck You, Tammy! I'd watch the entire series so I'll try to finish it by the end of the summer.

Tried watching FBI... Ain't the old Law and Order group of series, that's for sure...

White Gold, Season 2 (2019) A smarmy, fun show set in 1985, about about double-glazed windows, with an excellent cast led by Ed Westwick. It also has an awesome sountrack to boot (I can't get Sly Fox's Let's Go All The Way (1985) out of my head) I give this a 4 out of 5

I think your review of Game Of Thrones is fair. I'm kind of torn on it. My two favourite episodes have both been this season but I do agree that they could have fit in about 2 more episodes just to give the story more room to breathe. Some character interactions felt a little rushed at times. But I enjoyed it overall.

I give this season a 4 out of 5 for that very reason.

Believe it or not, I've totally avoided spoilers for the entire finale of GOT, so I can binge watch it on the internet... Even when my son came to visit, we avoided talking about it...and he's a total GOT junky. I got him hooked after I binge-watched the first season of the series. Great stuff!

Barry Season 2 8.5 / 10

Game Of Thrones 8.5 / 10

Which season? I ask because I think season eight should be rated independently of the others.

Why? Without spoilers, if you can answer that... Seen'em all except for the final season. Wonderful show. Waiting to binge watch..

BTW another great series I turned other people on to was Boardwalk Empire... Still haven't seen the last season of that one. lol Man, I am so behind...

Deadwood Just finished rewatching it to prepare for the upcoming Deadwood Movie. What more can I say that hasn't been said before. Deadwood is an absolute masterpiece. There are so many characters and every single one of them is great. The writing is spectacular and the dialogue in particular has never been bettered in any other TV series or movie. The show is dark and violent but also absolutely hilarious at times. There is no "bad guys vs good guys" here either. Because there are no pure heroes or villains. Even the Sheriff, played by the impeccable Timothy Olyphant, who is the closest thing the show has to a good guy, often flies off the handle and beats his enemies to bloody pulps. But as much as I love Timothy Olyphant, he's not the best thing about the show. Ian McShane's portrayal of Al Swearengen is right up there with the greats. And his performance sums the show up perfectly. He IS Deadwood and he will do anything to protect it, whether that be his willingness to kill a defenceless child or how he puts his huge ego aside and teams with Sheriff Bullock to go against the towns greatest threat, George Hearst. 5/5 [Edited 5/20/19 10:53am]

Yeah meant to put in Season 8.

Seasons 1-6 = 10

Season 7 = 9

Season 8 = 8.5 (I know it has its flaws but I still found it compelling viewing.

When Calls the Heart | Hallmark

I've always been a Laura Engels ( Little House on the Prairie) fan of pioneer era/west novels. The series is based on thi genre by Canadian writer Janette Oke. Michael Landon Jr. produces, writes, and directs this series.

I"m tired of watching violence and srewing in movies and TV shows., cuz it boring.

When Calls the Heart, could have been much better if Landon Jr. had stuck to Oke's story line. But folks always have piss on someting to kinda proves its their product. Its the only TV series I've made an effort to watch in more than a decade. Season 6 last episode for this year airs, Sunday.

The first post in this thread sums it up. Many other viewers who love the show were not as kind as I was.

This is a good idea, I think I'll do the same. Was considering getting hbo just for the new movie, glad to get some closure.

Such a psycho for this show I made it a point to go to Deadwood on a cross country trip. It was way out of my way but I just had to see it in person.

Suprised how small it was and the location was interesting from a geographic sense - surrounded by mountains. Other than that it was filled with casinos and trash souvenirs and really close to Sturgis (a city that has a massive motorclycle event every year).

Dead to Me (2019) - Netflix

We binged this series on a Sunday and it kept me and my wife entertained. Very real and had a movie-like quality to the whole thing. Loved the twists and turns but not sure how they'll keep it up for another season.

4 out 5 stars

Deadwood - Season 1

I shouldn't have waited so long to watch this show. It's excellent. The characters have such a way with words too. 5/5
