This was actually the case for me a few years back. I think watched the first two episodes and quit but I realize now I didn’t fully understand the depth and complexity that it was going to be going for. |

Welcome to Wrexham is a very polished documentary of sorts. Really helps that Rob and Ryan are entertaining as all get out. Rob's really got that dog in him when it comes to business acumen.

I really enjoyed "The Last Ship" on HBO Max. It's been around a while (014-018)
Spoiler!
I found no reference to it when searching this thread, but that could be my lack of searching skills. |

Holy shit Barry is back this season. They've gone right back to the same tone that seasons 1 and 2 featured, nailing that juxtaposition of comedy vs. serious setting.

The Last Ship has none of that. There are the good guys and the bad guys and it's pretty obvious from the jump who is who. No heel turns to speak of, unnecessary twists. Just good ol' American horsepower kicking some ass. It's pretty brainless entertainment but I mostly enjoyed it.

And I don't see how any red blooded American Male could not be a 'Keri Russell guy'. If I ever find out the Americans used a stunt ass, I'm gonna be awfully bummed out because...dayum.

Taking a run at The Last Kingdom. Man that's a slog. And the pacing is somehow simultaneously dog-slow and lightning fast.
I mean 5 episodes in he'll have gone from an 8 year old second in line saxon heir to an adult Dane warrior back to a saxon elder who went from dating his childhood 'co-slave' to married to some fringe nobility to a father and then divorced. I mean damn guys. How are you gonna coax 5 seasons and a movie out of this? The problem is that 90% of it seems to happen offscreen. On screen there have been like 3 critical conversations and a couple of battles. Then a lot of horseriding. I don't know if its actually any good - I just find the subject matter interesting.

The bit with Gene doing a monolgue to tell his story about Barry, but occasionally mixing up the dialogue accents was world class stuff. It's just blowing my mind, and I'm glad they aren't trying to play this season as straight as they did in Season 3.

It’s getting darker in a way but it has the great comedy relief again which is big.
