I like how weird the show is, felt like 3 was the weirdest of the lot. I think the plot of 2 was the best but the setting and cringe moments maybe the best in 3.

Jennifer Coolidge's character in 1 was so awful/annoying.
Agree on all points

Don't understand the hyper about Jennifer Coolidge, I hated all of her scenes. Her cry was like fingernails on a chawk board.

I loved the family in the 3rd season and I'm a huge fan of Sam Rockwell and Walton Goggins

It was my least favorite but I know most people think it's the best.

Why do you think it is? I thought it was very slow, the characters weren't as interesting, the setting was dull and the storylines weren't as exciting
I can see them all starting slow. I like to think the pace is due to getting us familiar with characters in depth before the wheels start spinning.

Love the intro opening credits scene to season 2 and the symbolism to the characters. I love Italy a lot, really enjoyed the atmosphere and setting. Simona Tobasco had some amazing scenes lol. Love the strange build up of Tonya being in danger and how crazy it got to the end, at first thinking ok these guys fighting in the ocean are probably the dead bodies found later on the shore but nope. Love the lesson in the season of you having the choice of being a victim in this world or not.

The music to season 2 did a lot for me as well with the scenes.

Deeply saddened to hear Cristobal won’t be with the franchise any longer for the music.

The music in the opening credits for season 2 was great.

Finishing season 1 of Brassic.

Last shows I watched on the tube from the UK was Rev, Whites and the Spy. Anything with Darren Boyd big fan of, I love his fumbling up acts of comedy. Almost forgot that one series when he was a mid wife.

All time favorite was Peep Show.

Opinions?
I enjoyed season 1, but season 2 is weaker IMO.

I haven't played the games so I'm not comparing it to the source material, but I just can’t take Ellie and Dina's characters seriously. Their scenes feel like some kind of high school sitcom.

People are raving about Isabela Merced's performances. IDK maybe I'm too old for this shit, but she feels like a character from a teen Netflix show or something. I couldn't give a damn if she is a "baddie". Bad dialogue, corny, and not very believable. It's supposed to be 20+ years into the fucking apocalypse and in every scene she is wearing make-up and has perfect hair.

I've been re-watching Kieslowski's Dekalog - now that is some incredible television.

I really enjoyed season 3 of The White Lotus.

I'm not sure why it's the least rated season of the series.
I really hate it when shows put on the third world/poor country filter. Once I got past that personal ick, I enjoyed it. Walton Goggins was great. The scene with him and sober Sam Rockwell in the bar was one of the best I’ve seen in recent times.

Dekalog is brilliant. 10/10 show. Thanks for mentioning that.

It has Timothy Olyphant, that means I'm automatically tuning in lol. Even if I'm not big fan of Aliens franchise.


Tho I'm big fan of sci fi. And that description sounds pure sci fi. Cyborgs, humanoid robots or hybrids.
