I did find that later in the series, they injected a lot of new twists/characters that made it very interesting to the point I had a hard time turning it off for the day. In fact, early on in the series I was concerned the plot may have been a result of the recent pandemic. It is right in the wheelhouse of what I enjoy, as Sci Fi, Gore and police shows have no interest for me. Of course, being a Navy vet probably has some serious impact on my interest level. ![]() Also, the timetable of when it was filmed/produced, was prior to a lot of industry requirements for diversity, sexual and racial issues we see in the latest stuff that is often a turn off for this old fart.

If you divorce yourself from the actual historical figures, it's pretty good. At least to the extent the characters became compelling. Ultimately, I ended up really giving a shit about the characters and the (historically inaccurate) story. And the battle scenes are good. Really good. Worth the wait. In short I came for the assling insults, stayed for the characters. |

So I think it may be picking up a little steam... Will this have sufficient gratuitous nudity? It's been very sparse to this point...

Yeah - The Citadel is good shit.
A) Stanley Tucci rocks B) Priyanka Chopra is just laughably attractive. The premise is just so ridiculously over the top but there's a slight twist on it that is pretty damn good.

Oh, and I don't think Richard Madden is a very good actor but this is an audition reel for the next James Bond for him. Right age, right look, can do athletic and suave.
I don't know if he has the acting chops for it, but it's not like all the Bonds have been great actors. This seems like it might be a no brainer.

Catching up on the Presige TV podcasts with Bill Hader and they do a weekly episode recap.
Yeah - Hader HATES Barry. "He's thoughtless and selfish and just not very bright. He sees things and he acts without considering how those actions haunt people..." The only silver lining I see here is that he seems to dislike Fuches even more and blames Fuches leaning into Barry's issues, exacerbating them and using him for his own purposes once he realized he had a father-figure level influence over Barry. So it may end up Fuches that ends up with a big shitburger to eat, but I still don't see a happy ending for Barry.
Spoiler!

Barry hasn’t been the same since Fuches outed him.

I don't know that it is a "must watch", but Sanctuary on Netflix is another bizarro Japanese series about Sumo wrestling. And Season one ending in a cliffhanger indicates there is a season two. It was fascinating, but might not fit a lot of people's taste.
