Start and finishes REALLY strong but the middle 4 seasons they get a bit lost. Danes and Patkin are superb.

Thoughts on Homeland?

I really enjoyed the first few seasons of Homeland. I kind of lost interest in the last two seasons, but definitely a good show.

Early on it was excellent. The latter seasons weren't on the same level as the first 3/4. It was excellent television when it was at its best.

I mean seriously, some top tier acting and writing in this scene!

**SPOILERS BELOW IN VIDEO**

The spoiler is not just in the video, it's in the title! You should remove it, don't spoil it for someone who has yet to see it.

Also, I loved the soundtrack to season 4 of Ozark. The best era of rap music was on full display. One more aspect to that show that was excellent. I'll miss it.

Is The Peripheral any good? The trailer makes it seem like Westworld and no wonder they are from the same ppl. I haven't even bothered to finish WW yet, so if this is gonna be similar, I dunno.

This was pretty good until the last episode. Then it kinda sucked.

Agree 100% - watched last episode last night and was like "that's it...unsolved?"

Thoughts on Homeland?

Homeland is a winner. There are a couple weird seasons in the middle but still worth a watch. It's on my short list of best of all time series. Claire Danes is brilliant in this series.

Thanks for the feedback. The trailer looks promising.

Any others watching The Peripheral? I think I'll give it a go and report back.

Clark_Kent · 10-30-2022, 05:28 PM

Jack Reacher Season 3! Get your mind ready fellas. It's been renewed for a fourth season.

tranquility · 10-30-2022, 06:54 PM

Must say that I'm impressed so far by Let the right one in. I don't remember too much about the movie...it was just alright but I feel this series really fleshed out and added so many new stories/characters for the better.

EDIT: kinda like what Cobra Kai did to the KK franchise. Nice jobs by the ppl involved in both shows.

Murder in Suburbia: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396997/.

I watch an episode when I just want to zone-out. It's Ash and Scribbins; the rest is blah.

Depends on your personality. I am a meat and potatoes, legs and arse kinda guy. I can't follow The Matrix, i can't follow Inception.......Periphal has a good cast, well acted too, but it's asking too much of me.

For me, Matrix wasn't too hard to follow but forget about Inception and that similar one w the backwards time-travel thing...that's just crazy artsy stuff to me. Westworld started out ok but it lost me in the latter seasons, so I don't think I'm gonna watch The Peripheral since it seems similar.

Momento was great, that was fine, i am fine with time travel, i struggle when shit gets borderline abstract.

Witht he Matrix, i have seen it 5 times, I am alllll goooood until they visit the Oracle, after that.... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING. Fucking NONE.

"City on a Hill" on Showtime. Kevin Bacon playing Jackie Rohr, his mustache, slicked hair, and classy dress makes this a fun one for me. In season 3 he gets his hands on a really sweet car too that us Beemer forum members would appreciate.

Looking forward to season 2 of "Your Honor" with Bryan Cranston as I really enjoyed season 1.

Just re-subscribed to Showtime and forgot how much I enjoy those 2 shows

I just can't buy him as an action hero and it's very Homeland without the nuance.

I thought the first season was ok. Lost me on the second season.

And I agree, I'll always see him as a guy putting staplers in Jell-O, not an action hero.

I really enjoyed City on a Hill. Jackie Rohr is a great character.
