I really enjoyed certain parts of the first season, but I think I gave up pretty early on in season 2. There was just not enough good stuff to sustain all the weirdness.Finished first season of Legion, and may need some convincing to go on.
First episode was outstanding. But then things seem to drag on, a lot of repetitiveness. I'm still not sure I understand what the plot is supposed to be.
Yeah, it unraveled quickly and just seemed outlandish for the purpose of being outlandish and wasn’t worth watching. I liked the first season but I never came close to finishing season 2.I really enjoyed certain parts of the first season, but I think I gave up pretty early on in season 2.

yea, not bad at all. have to pay attention as I really didn't know where this was going.Midnight Mass was a nice little series. Thumbs up.
I would never buy the Apple TV again. I have an old one because it was the only way to stream the movies you bought. We never buy movies anymore. Firesticks and Rokus are cheaper and have all the features and probably more and the Apple TV app.Is the Apple TV box/device worth buying or is the Roku App sufficient? There is a deal posted on SlickDeals for an Apple TV device for $79, normally $160 from Walmart. Jumped on it, but not sure I really need it. I don't have a sub for Apple TV yet.
Second rec from a trusted source on the greatness of this. On it.....I'm way late to this, but finally watched Bo Burnham's "Inside" last night. Good god, that was outstanding.
Major League is considered a great comedy by both critics and fans.I'm probably in the minority here, but one episode into Ted Lasso and I'm not sure I understand the buzz. Wife liked it more than me so we'll stick with it as we need some comedy in our lives, but isn't this just the plot of Major League for soccer?

1st season, or 2nd season?
1st season is all about the feels good.
2nd season, is, well, interesting. I think it sets up one final, somewhat predictable, 3rd season.
That's what I thought after one episode. It really does morph into something special, if you can stick with it for another episode or two. That storyline goes away pretty quick.

If you are talking about "The Morning Show," I absolutely love this show. I like that I can't really wholly love or hate any of the characters in it. Like Ted Lasso, I'm liking Season 2 even more than the first.I've got Season 1, Episode 1 under my belt. Ready to be mistyfied!
Plan is to alternate between Good Morning America and Ted Lasso now that we figured out how to use Apple TV. Little drama, little comedy.
Yup, that's it. The one with Reese Witherspoon, who I would watch in just about anything.If you are talking about "The Morning Show," I absolutely love this show.

yeah- Ted Lasso is about non-cynical feel-goods more than "oh, what a brilliant plot". this isn't deep, dark comedy. and ftr- at first it grated on me... until I let the non-cynicism wash over me. I mean, the character was derived from NBC commercials for their soccer programming. the 2nd season follows a similar path, with more attempts at variation and going for it within certain episodes.I've got Season 1, Episode 1 under my belt.

I think the 2nd season added a lot of depth to all the main characters - I really loved the Coach Beard episode - but I do think it has set up a rather predictable final season. (I am assuming its a final season, because if it goes where I think, there really isn't a season after that.)That's what I thought after one episode.

If you are talking about the sports story predictable, sure. I can see it. But there are so many other great storylines to explore like, well, I guess I shouldn't go into it, because they haven't been discovered yet in early season 1. But where they go with Nate, with Rebecca, with Keely, with Roy Kent, even with Jaimie and Beard. And Roy's personal life.

Nate? You're interested in that character? The entire storyline is preposterous and his entire purpose appears to me to be to annoy the viewer. Won't be watching season 3 after the disaster that was season 2. Wouldn't have thought it possible that a show so good in year 1 could be so horrible in year 2.If you are talking about the sports story predictable, sure. I can see it.

I'm in the middle of s2, very dissapointing. Everyone being as happy and positive as Ted is too much.

Im in the group that enjoyed season 1 for what it is, but could not make it through season 2. I tapped out after the Christmas episode. My wife liked the Morning Show. I thought For All Mankind was great, and also liked 1971. @El Floppo has a separate thread dedicated to the masterpiece known as See.I've got Season 1, Episode 1 under my belt. Ready to be mistyfied!

Funny - I thought the Nate turn had a lot of truth in it. People are weird. "Damaged" people are even weirder. And Nate's family/background/father was super effed up. I thought his speech railing against Ted had a lot of . . . . I don't know, realism to it. To the degree that people tell themselves all sorts of things that they need to believe. They way the whole thing played out was *almost* like a "villain origin story." I dug it.Nate? You're interested in that character?

I didn't even make it to the Christmas episode before I had to tap out.

Your thoughts aren’t spoilers unless you work for the show. Share them.No - I think Ted leaves the team after the end of next season.
I would spoiler my thoughts but, spoiler function not so good.
Well it’s a little bit of a spoiler to this season, but I think ultimately Nate will struggle at West Ham, Ted will reach out to him, and eventually Nate will come back to Richmond a better man, and replace Ted as head coach at the end of the season.Your thoughts aren’t spoilers unless you work for the show.

It took me three episodes to really get into it. I thought the same thing at first, but definitely has a different feel.I'm probably in the minority here, but one episode into Ted Lasso and I'm not sure I understand the buzz.

That was my favorite episode so far. Just saw it the other day as we are working through S2. Obviously not for everyone.I'm in the middle of s2, very dissapointing. Everyone being as happy and positive as Ted is too much. Christmas episode.....what was that
It felt like the heel turn was a bit too sudden, a bit too unearned, though they did try to build to it I don't think they gave it enough time. I understand it's tough to do that in 12 half hour episodes when there are so many other characters and plot lines to develop. I really like the show overall, you have to understand it's a gosh, golly, gee-whiz kind of thing and just go with it - I find it a refreshing alternative to much of what's out there right now.Funny - I thought the Nate turn had a lot of truth in it.

My wife's watching the Morning Show. I find it dreadful. I can handle a show where you're not really supposed to like any of the characters, but they're all so annoying, entitled, privileged, and running in an industry that isn't exactly one I'm inclined to have any base sympathy for its participants in the first place, I can't bring myself to care about what happens to any of them. Everyone's a selfish over the top ####### all the time - I've got no interest in paying attention to that.GMA was solid- not really my cuppa, but well done.

Also, and this is coming from someone who thinks Deadwood may have been the best T.V. show of all time, the constant use of the F word is jarringly distracting. Maybe that's how people on the inside of that industry really talk, but I find it inartful dialog. Whereas Milch built vulgarity into this bizarre but compelling Shakespearean style of speaking, and also employed the use of vulgarity or lack thereof as insight into the history and nature of his characters, here it comes off as just extra agitation and noise which the characters/show already have plenty of. I know they're immature maladjusted jerks already, a constant barrage of ####s and ####s just beats things into the ground.
Even with Steve Carell, Jen Aniston, and Reece Witherspoon…Billy Crudup steals the show for me.Sweet J said:If you are talking about "The Morning Show," I absolutely love this show.

El Floppo said:interesting.
I watched a few episodes of Succession during S1 and had similar feelings. Those type of people are my usual clients, but awful, awful versions of them. I want nothing to do with them or the show for my not-at-work enjoyment.

Agreed. Would have been fine with it if he had visited his daughter and maybe a quick shot of reuniting the mom and son (who we saw). Could have made him see the slapping game on his flight back. I hated that he never followed through first.Just finished Squid Game. Loved it but for the last 45 seconds of so.
I watched it a couple months back and don’t even remember how it ended. Obviously wasn’t memorable.Finished clickbait.
Really disappointing conclusion. What a
Yeah I didn’t take issue with his mopy actions post-game or the notion that he didn’t feel right spending the money directly on himself. I also thought the movie did a great job the first couple of episodes displaying how big of a loser he was. But as a father of three daughters it was frustrating not seeing some arc towards him becoming a better dad (hell, him giving away the money and just working an honest job to help support her would have been more satisfying).Agreed.

Absolutely! He really nails it. And also, to address @Gr00vus, his character may be the only "redeeming" one in the show. Maybe not redeeming, per se, but I really like his character and his acting.Even with Steve Carell, Jen Aniston, and Reece Witherspoon…Billy Crudup steals the show for me.
Sorry, but i don’t think the Wu Tang Clan is anything to f with.Wu-Tang: An American Saga S2 is pretty great imo. Love the way they’re showing RZA working through his thought process
