I enjoyed it.

Waltz is playing the kind of person that got him Oscars. That he outshines the rest of the cast is the biggest problem.

There’s a lot of loose strings too.

Still kept me guessing while binging.

Again they are keeping a Discovery app and removing an HBO Max app.

I don’t know how you can’t see there being a discrepancy.

This isn’t about the combined app except that it will be the only place to get HBO whereas Discovery has two options and apparently there will be more on the Discovery app.

So not only will I be paying more, I won’t even get all the content that I don’t want for the higher price.

If the new service costs 20 bucks it’s effectively the same price as the current separate services. Since they already admitted that Discovery+ folks don’t even want HBO content enough to switch, then why make HBO subscribers take on content they don’t want for a higher price point?

Is that a better value to you?

I’m only discussing the streaming. After all, all of their networks on cable will keep their cable name.

A rebranding without a connection is always going to be a tricky. My point is Discovery will be distinct and HBO may have NO streaming connection in the marketing.

It will only be a hub on the new streamer.

They are burying the bigger brand name from streamer recognition.

For people who keep track or already have the service, it’s not a big deal, but it’s an extra explanation for the service on the basis of combining it with its least interesting content for potential customers.

My issue as a current customer is that I want a cheaper option too but my price is going to increase due to the Discovery content I probably won’t watch.

They’re going to raise the price to add Discovery content I don’t want

They’re going to keep the Discovery name.

They’re going to remove the HBO name.

Secret to success?

Arcane is certainly a fantastic show too.

I like LOU more but that may be due to me identify with the character and story more.

I thought she was fine.

It depends on who says it’s the best show ever.

I would never consider TWD one of the best shows ever and GOT woikd be.

While the seasons got worse (7 is worse than 8 imo)I never thought any of them were awful and I was fully invested in the show until the end.

Not as violent as the game so while it is violent, it’s not super graphic and the violence tends to have a purpose to the story of that makes sense.

I love season 2.

People routinely complain about any number of seasons but I’ve always looked at it as a patchwork of all the things that go into the drug trade and failed drug war.

LOST is mine too.

There has never been more variety in children’s programming across streaming and cable and without the advertising inherent with broadcasting.

Broadcast were fighting a losing battle.

They’re promoting their service/brand to fans more than trying to gain new people.

I’ve had something like this for years.

It routinely froze up and for some reason kept playing Star Trek stuff lol.

I love a lot of their shows but not all streaming services are for everyone.

Too subjective to be effective.

Made sense to me.

It’s not supposed to mimic historical accuracy. It’s just a what if action drama show.

I get that you didn’t like it but I’m just saying I did.

It’s very good.

I liked the rest of the season though. It reminded me nothing off a bad Steven Seagal movie.

I’m fine with no more than three unless it’s based on a story requiring more than three.

I tend to like limited series overall.

Fortunately I ignore user ratings altogether.

Episode 3 was fantastic and if I didn’t know that I would follow world of moot of a user rating.

Honestly the show’s episodes are early 2000’s PiXAR level where It’s hard to think of it in terms of what’s best lol.

They’ve been stellar and 3 is likely going in my all time favorites.

I saw the first episode and thought it was amazing.

Sad they cancelled Let the Right One In.

Parks and Rec - 1st season is mediocre but I don’t think it should be skippped.

Just be aware that it gets better.

The Leftovers - It starts somewhat confusing as it plays like a mystery box show, but it becomes one of my all time favorite series probably by halfway through the first season.

Mad Men - It gives the appearance of boring but it is not. Don Draper is an all time great character

Underground Railroad - It is discussed in terms of brutality but it’s actually a very hopeful show so the tough scenes are routinely offset by happier one.

It was my favorite show last year.

If we’re talking about International Assassin, it’s one of my all time favorites.

I thought it was fine.

I thought it was a limited series so surprised about the ending, but it works as an open ended conclusion as well.

I thought the acting was lackluster to bad though. Everyone was acting on cue and melodramatically.
