8 episodes through Homecoming (Prime). I dunno, it's been fine, but at this point I'm desperate to finish it and move on to something else. The plot and the characters just aren't very interesting to me.
Esmail is awesome, and I love Mr. Robot, but gotta say this has been a bit disappointing.
I started The Rain, an 8 episode first season with a post apocalyptic storyline. Cliffs are: A teenage girl and her brother are put into a doomsday bunker by their parents after a deadly virus spreads from thunderstorms/rain pouring down. They stay in the bunker for 5 years and come out to find the world a completely different place.
I'm only an episode in but I dig it. If you like post apocs, this might be a quick watch. It's dubbed in English.

My take: watched all of season 1, only finished it b/c plot committed, this show is kinda bad. The characters are dumb, the explanations of what's going on are dumb and implausible, you don't ever get much in the way of answers, side plots are abandoned with no explanation.
Also, because early on in the show they cross from Denmark into southern Sweden and most of the rest of the show takes place there, I always wanted to know: are they still speaking Danish? Google tells me the languages are similar but have some different sounds/vocabulary that would make communication slightly confusing, why is that not reflected in the show?! (or is it, with no reflection of that to subtitle viewers?)
I could go on several rants about how some individual plotlines are so, so bad but I assume most people haven't seen this show and, hopefully after this post, won't see it, so meh.
Outlaw King was watchable. Seems truncated. Shoulda been a series.
Three or four set pieces strung together with bailing wire and twine.
It’s still watchable owing to C. Pine and assorted landscape-porn shots. (And the set pieces; I do love it when folks get medieval) but yeah it kind of screams missed opportunity to me.
“Watchable” is exactly the right adjective for this film IMO. No more, no less.

I agree, as I watched more I grew to dislike the show. The decision making was poor and I gave up on it midway through.
Rewatched The Raid: Redemption last night. Anyone who's a fan of killer action/violence/mayhem will enjoy this. I still haven't seen The Night Comes For Us but I'll hopefully watch it soon.
Just finished the second season, at 8 episodes it feels it could have been reduced to just 3 or 4 (like the first season), the pacing is too slow at the begginig and the last chapter is sort of an epilogue that is too long.
They tried to create some "court intrigues and drama" that just don't fit well, and the lack of action doesn't help

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably watch it at some point because I love Armitage's voice.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the "powerful man pushes somebody in front of a train" storyline eventually used on some awful wrestling program?

Wait really? You're spoilering a ****ty TNA reveal from like 3 years ago?
meh looking back it was okay, I thought season 3 was really boring but maybe that's just me. i just felt all the other seasons dont live up to the season 1 hype and hooplah but thats prolly because francis trying to become a president while he was in the house was more fun to watch than the seasons when he finally made it
