I thought it was an interesting and unexpected turn with the end of the next to last episode. It definitely led to a letdown effect for the finale though.The ending of Shogun is not going to please some people lol. I went from not liking it to actually liking it over the course of a day but my initial reaction was not great.
I actually compare it to the battle in The Hobbit. How it was portrayed in the book vs the movie series. The way you assume would be better and assume you’ll see isn’t necessarily better.

I’m finding I love subtitles. They force me to lock in and concentrate on what I’m watching.The new Franklin series on APPLE TV is pretty good. Heavy on the French, have to wade through a lot of subtitles, but overall very nice period piece. Michael Douglas makes for an interesting Ben Franklin that's for sure.
Anyone watch The Gentlemen by Guy Ritchie on Netflix? I'm intrigued.
3 Body Problem is good so far.
I was planning on boyoctting it cuz the showrunners are the guys who did GoT (and ruined GoT) but it's actually pretty good.
We're two episodes in and it's great.Anyone watch The Gentlemen by Guy Ritchie on Netflix? I'm intrigued.
Wow, that was wild. Gave me a knot in my stomach.Baby Reindeer on Netflix. It's ******* wild.
Nope, recognized him immediately. Bu, I could have sworn the actor playing Will was the same kid from The End of the F***ing World. Wrong.Admit it, it took a minute to figure out that Jack was Samwell Tarly.
I loved it. I liked the movie but the series is both different and better, in my opinion. Theo does a superb acting job.Anyone watch The Gentlemen by Guy Ritchie on Netflix? I'm intrigued.
Anyone watch the 2nd Rebel Moon? Not sure why I did but I did. It certainly wasn't good but I at least enjoyed it better than the 1st. Mostly because the second half just leaned into being a straight action flick. Like the first movie it looks fantastic but there is still a lot of "WTF is this plot" and crappy dialogue. Also, I think Snyder would make a whole movie in slow motion if he could lol
This is what annoys me with netflix, how they throw hundreds of millions at these really bad movies (rebel moon movies cost $160 million) that I think no one watches(?) and if you do watch you watch once and then never again. Looking at the slate for 2024 i really don't see anything that peaks my interest besides the pop tart origin story movie... lol. Most of the big budget movies they fund on netflix are just "throw an a-list actor into spy action movie that cost $200 million, these chumps will watch it". But maybe it's a me problem and I'm just too picky.Woof. It is awful. Watched it last night and even fast forwarded a few times. Almost turned it off but thought I'd try to hold on for the big climatic battle thingie. I love sci-fi but this is a good example of why I had to change my mantra of "Bad sci-fi is better than no sci-fi at all" to "Mediocre sci-fi is better than no sci-fi at all".
The plot makes no sense whatsoever. The whole interstellar traveling ship coming multiple times to steal some little villages grain might work better for a tale of Vikings longships. Maybe just make it a search for our boring as hell heroine. Man that's a lot of money spent on special effects and sets that would have been better put into hiring a writer. Jeez there are a dozen low end Kindle Unlimited sci-fi books that would make a better basis for a sci-fi movie series.
And, LOL at the slow motion stuff.
On the Netflix "desktop" site, you can download your entire viewing history. I did that a month ago and found that at that time I had watched 1,800 episodes and/or movies on Netflix in the past 18 months alone. That doesn't count Hulu, sports, ESPN+, etc. While that is sad - it's because my health basically leaves me couch ridden from around 5:30 to bed (between 10 and 11) each night. Because I have the basement all to myself, I can watch pretty much whatever I want (horror, thriller, etc) without worry of the kids.This is what annoys me with netflix, how they throw hundreds of millions at these really bad movies (rebel moon movies cost $160 million) that I think no one watches(?) and if you do watch you watch once and then never again.

But I'm sure they'll pump their subscription up a time or two this year to pay for these godawful movies. I'll admit when they have good stuff like 3 Body Problem, they seem to do better with series than movies.
Yeah the story just makes no sense. Why would some intergalactic empire care about a few hundred bags of grain? Also the bad guys might be worse at shooting than storm troopers lolWoof. It is awful.
