Ugh. I really wanted to like this series, but in the end, I thought it was terrible. So many times I had to force myself to ignore the errors in the writing. How can they have what looked like a good budget and a solid cast and wind up with such a goofball ending...bizarre.

Hi Gang! I thought I would start a discussion about this limited series on Apple TV+. It stars Idris Elba and...well, that's about it for recognizable names. He really commands the screen whenever he is on. The rest of the cast is serviceable. None, so far, stand out as being poorly cast or...

Follow-up point/question for my learned friends here: The opening scene where Wick is punching the board. Did anyone else have to lower the volume quickly? Wow. I made my subwoofer amp clip like crazy. I don't think I have heard a movie that had such an overpowering bit of sound. I think I...

Watched this past weekend. It was worth watching, but I didn't think it was as good as the general feedback has been. I really enjoyed the first one as it was fresh and hinted at so many cool new ideas with the secret organization. This one was just an orgy of violence, but a well-made one...

Hi Gang! I was looking to chat about this season but did not see anything via search. I have only watched the first two episodes, but I have really enjoyed them both. The first episode, "Joan is awful" is quite fun. Very much the style of Black Mirror. The casting was a treat to watch, and it...

Huge fan of the series, especially season 1. This final season, not so much. It felt so forced and lacked direction. Characters were brought in (like Zava and Jack) and took up screen time, but went nowhere. Plot lines were introduced that went nowhere, like Roy training Jamie to be the best...

*pant, pant* Ok...*gasp* I'm caught up after reading through the 20 pages. Interesting thread. Most of the key ones I thought of were already mentioned. Keanu Reeves - Bram Stoker's Dracula. Shocking, especially compared to Gary Oldman's outstanding performance. I think Keanu is just a great...

No updates? One post total...bummer

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post in, but I was curious about what people thought of this on their home system. I saw it in the theatre and enjoyed it. Now seeing it again via iTunes purchase, it was also good, but found the audio mix rather quiet. It’s not bad at all, but overall...

I didn’t know anything about the show before I watched it. I was really impressed with the characters and the slow pace to begin. Sadly, it just didn’t go anywhere. It might have been more impressive if this came out back in the 70s, but today it left me with such an empty feeling. I expected...

I am looking into buying/building two of these 21" Full Marty subwoofers. I think it will be a really fun project! https://shop.gsgad.com/collections/roundover-martysubs-v2-0-21-flat-packs

We agree to disagree. I have gone through quite a bit of acting training and study (not that it helped my acting career!) and feel that he is the definition of wooden. Just my humble opinion.

Overall, I enjoyed the series. I thought it was great to see Alan Ritchson as the lead character. However, he does lack charisma. His range is really lacking. His "intimidation looks" do not seem much different than his normal. Take Hugh Jackman, for instance, who can really manifest a great...

I have not seen this film yet. I was, however, surprised that in the articles I have read and previews I watched, nowhere do I see any reference to it being a remake of "Sword of the Valiant" with Sean Connery. I really thought that there would be some folks mentioning that...

Here is the answer:
