really enjoyed it but then the taylor thing becoming the crux of the storyline was just too much
taylor rarely shows any sort of game changing brilliance or anything, it's just kind of bestowed and then the worst part is you have all these people using the "they" pronoun - i get it the showrunners want it to be pc and all but we're talking a group of people who's only motivation is to destroy taylor and yet behind taylor's back use the preferred pronoun??? when malkovich playing a casually kill all your enemies russian gangster offers to kill taylor but still politely used "they" I just lost it - i mean c'mon they hate taylor so much they want to kill but are still being pc about it?
but that bit aside, recent seasons have been very sub par and the early seasons were excellent
mostly grunched this thread but seeing recent comments, i'm happy to hold off on watching this season until i get a compelling reason to believe it's not going to be hot garbage
i watch it cos im 5 seasons deep now.
I am bored of it tho i usually have phone in hand doing anything on it other than watching the whole 60mins of speeches
i dont think the strory is good anymore its actually boring.
And i know Paul G is a good actor and so is "Brody" but i am bored of the speeches. I find the dialogue/interactions un-lifelike - now that being said i don't conversate with many Attorney generals or billionaires but even random convos they have on the show is more like a speech than a conversation. Bored of it but will watch it as not much else on
(ps- if anyone is looking for a good series watch snowfall - i am rewatching it and its still great)
