Hell yeah! Good first episode for season three!

Regarding "From"

My fiance wanted to watch it, so we started last night. I can't get past the terrible acting. Super cool interesting concept, but atrocious acting so far.

Rome

I've read so many good things, but it looks like it is so old. Like filmed in the 80s kind of old. What's up with that?

Are you actually watching it or just looking at some trailers? I started rewatching it recently and thought it has held up fairly well. The only thing I noticed is they would use a small amount of people to try and make it look like they had an army or a large crowd. Just something that stuck out the last time I watched it.

I'm watching the show. It's supposed to be a really high budget TV show, but it just looks like something filmed in the 80s or maybe even earlier. I'm not doing a very good job of describing what I mean.

The Queen of Villains has been getting good reviews.

I don't watch television to ****ing read.

Oh I see what this is -- You think you're better than me!?!?

I can do two things at the same time?

I guess to me the sets looked very good. :shrug:

Here is what I was talking about where they use a small set of men to try and make it look like a huge army.

I don't mind the acting at all.

Mostly because the concept of the show feels different and fresh to me.

I loved S1, S2 was fine, and I'm hopeful S3 is better.

I get it. I understand how that can be off-putting. 100%. It's good even in spite of that. Just takes time to work through it and appreciate everything but the datedness.

The Crown
 

The Netflix series "the Crown" has me totally enjoying it.

I did a search and it didn't come up much to my surprise.

At first the series seemed kind of boring and slow, like a lot of good series. But it starts really coming together and gets very interesting.

I must admit, a lot of this stuff happening in this series was in the news most of my life and my attitude was always "who gives a shit?"

But now, it is connecting a lot of dots and is a fun and very interesting watch.

It’s awesome. I believe if it originally aired on HBO it would have been right up there with GOT on hype and fan fare.

Starz. Before they imploded.

I'll do the favor that someone did for me by suggesting Banshee. It's on Max and lasted 4 seasons from 2013-2016. It has a fair amount of violence, sex, and nudity so not for children.
