TLoU would’ve been in my top 5 but I’m infuriated with Naughty Dog at the moment, so to hell with them…. But still, it’s TLoU so I can’t completely hate it lol
The last of us (im not a gamer and not particularly into Zombie stuff except world war Z was great also imo) Daisy Jones and the Six Snowfall the final series - i really enjoyed this series i watched it 2-3 times already
i will have to update later, in general 2023 didnt have that many great shows (was squid game 2022 or 2023? it was fun)
It took a week or so after watching it for me to consider it… But The Curse would at least be in my honorable mentions. Hell, it took awhile for me to figure out if I liked it or not. I didn’t watch it while was airing and had no intention of watching it at all but I’m very glad I did.
It’s definitely on the Bubble. I think I’d be more interested in rewatching The Curse than Beef. And Jury Duty is just completely different.
It seems like a great movie that for whatever reason they elongated. Maybe in lieu of doing multiple seasons. For me, more is usually (but not always) better. They successfully did it by sitting with actors in scenes for much longer and by returning to subplots 3 or 4 times instead of 1 or 2. There was some padding that wasnt as great but ten hours is a lot of time.
The finale was great. The most theatrical ending to almost any “tv” series I’ve seen. Definitely more fulfilling than the Succession finale. Barry’s ending for me is pretty untouchable. But The Curse nailed it too
Snowfall put a few lines of dialogue in the final season that opened up the possibility of a spinoff. Leon, who is married to Gina, was talking to someone and said that marriage is hard and that Gina was really getting into the music business. That seed was the opening to a spinoff going from the crack business to the gangster rap business in a new series starring Gina.
