Ya your spot on, consistently boring.

I thought season one was clearly better. MM and WH were more compelling leads than the ones in S3.

S1 was plenty consistent up until the finale. I have S1 and S3 roughly on a level, but I'd have S1 significantly higher if I hadn't felt the ending was such a huge anticlimax.

besides the comment about it being COMPLETELY boring, I see where you guys are coming from.

I still stand by my post but also take note that coming into season 3 I thought it was gonnabe a HUGE letdown, the trailer seemed super bad with them showing the time elapses and I am not the biggest ali fan altho hes growing on me. dorf did well too.

Chris felt portions of ep 4,5 and 6 on s1 felt super weird to me in terms of being either raggedly paced or just minute gapses that ddin thok me as much as the previous eps but thats prolly e, still on the same level as 3 becuase of what i mentioned and could easily nudge it ahead of 3.

Season 1 had that dark gritty atmosphere though that we just dont get anymore unfortunately (last one was sharp objects)

ppl snap back at their SO´s for daddyissues, being in ****ing nam as a lone ranger killing tons of ppl in the silence of the night is gonna **** you up he was literally John Rambo but he was a functional human being on a very high level. Good at his job, maintained a relationship with a v beautiful woman who on top of it wasnt what i would say a needy woman that cant manage life without a man.

That said, I see your point but I am really thinking your underplaying the psychological mess 95%+ of all ppl returning from 'nam doing what he did would be in and you also try to make him a man of our decade. hes not. Him not being supercool with talking about his feelings and **** in the 80ths as a uneducated man with a upbringing in a VERY poor household isnt a stretch to me. He had to learn from a very young age not to be weak(yaya talking about feelings isnt weakness but in his time of era and surroundings it is).

She was bored to death.

Decided to start rewatching season 1, haven't seen it since it originally aired. Still great, even though I already know the ending will be a letdown.

And better writing. S3 was good, but pretty depressing to me.

S3 was really good, and had a super "I may as well be digging in an old outhouse dirt ending." If you don't know what that means, in the old days an out house was a hole you pooped in, then it was filled in. What this show was digging up some dirt to plant a rose only to find a pile of pooooooooo in that spot that you were digging in.



FAN****INGTASTIC!!!!

S1 was epic
S2 terrible

S3 I was expecting a terrible thing but it turned out to be between ok and good

Doing a rewatch of the entire series and as I started the 3rd season, seeing the HBO logo and hearing the synthesizer where a “previously on....” starts, something funny occurred to me that they should’ve done for S3 and eventually S4: Do a previously on with all the MM bits that made season 1 so good and top it off with D’Addario’s best scenes.

How could anyone say no to that!!

Hoping that since Jodie Foster seems pretty choosy because obviously she doesn’t have to be in anything she doesn’t really want, that the script is good and story is compelling.

Spiral symbol at 1:19.

and at 27 seconds when she is sitting in the middle of all of the photos

This looks good, the remote Alaska setting seems perfect. Going to come down to the script obv. but I am optimistic about this based on that brief trailer.

So is this going to be like another Fargo?

Nah, Fargo was good, this will probably be boring.

I posted one of this dudes videos for The Shield and The Leftovers in their respective threads and his latest is for season 2 of this show.

Though it doesn’t need to be watched (I liked it) the final 5 or so minutes does. That **** was kinda mind blowing!!

sure hope so...

What do we think, fellas?

Obviously I’m watching, but I’m going to be safe and keep the expectations as low as possible after S2 and the snooze fest that was S3.

What do I think? Is Issa Lopez another Mike White - just waiting in the wings doing ordinary television until he caught a big break with HBO and White Lotus. There were some prior flashes of brilliance for him to show he was capable. HBO are putting a lot of faith in her with her resume and I hope this isn't just a token gender decision to give her this show because I can't really see her pulling this off based on her previous credits. I hope I'm proved wrong.

This was my same thought. Hopefully the other actors are up to par.

Tigers Are Not Afraid was pretty good

I'm hopeful, but Pizzolatto is also not really involved either.

Cast looks great outside of Kali Reis, who I have no idea about.

Was surprised it's already been almost 5 years since Season 3.

jeez time flew by, Covid lockdown really cancelled out like 2-3yrs of life.
