I'm in the opposite camp- think it's in the why-bother category with poor writing, story and silly cliche characters. I watched the entire 1st season after the support it got in here... waiting for something worthwhile. got an episode or two into S2 before realizing that wasn't going to happen and it just wasn't for me.
Such a great series, bummer it’s only 6 episodesCapella said:
we've been talking about it in the "Netflix" thread... which has turned into kind of a catch-all TV thread.
I finally did keep going with it recently... my initial take was not spot on. really compelling series- highly recommend.
We watched the whole thing... Mentioned it in the Netflix thread. This one was a just miss for me, but can't quite place why. The fantasy aspect works, the mystery works...but something didn't elevate for me.
I'm a little worried the ending will be a let down....don't tell me if it is.El Floppo said:
Fwiw, I don't think there was any decline in quality- it was consistent and ended as well as it had been going through Midway; if you're loving it so far, I think you'll continue to do so. It just didn't grab me from the beginning, and it kept me at arm's length throughout.
To each their own of course, but I loved Vikings. Watched all 5 seasons over the last year or so, always looked forward to having the time to catch 3-4 episodes in a row. Thought it was fascinating and liked a bunch of the characters a lot.
I do too. Last Kingdom is one of my favorite shows ever from Netflix. Vikings was still excellent though and I wouldn’t argue too hard with any who preferred it over LK.
I think we’ve discussed this in the Netflix thread before. I’d take the first few seasons of Vikings over LK by a decent margin, but Vikings lost its fastball at some point.

I think there's a separate topic thread here somewhere for this. This keeps getting better and better the more news comes out. Still a long way off though.
Started watching this about two weeks ago. Just finished season 4 this weekend. I'm really enjoying it.
I just binged all 6 seasons in a little over a week. (Don't have Prime, but signed up for a 30-day trial that was about to run out)
I did the same (finished it in about 2 weeks). I really enjoyed the show. I just now went through this entire thread and it got a bad rap by most of the people early on in here. I am glad I didn't see this thread sooner because I thought it was a fun watch.
I'm one of the Bosch detractors... thought it was cliched, poorly acted/cast and really poorly written. but it's a police procedural, and it's far from the worst thing out there. so no harm to give it another go. (I watched a full season feeling pretty meh- but had heard good things in here, so plugged along. started to watch S2 and realized I thought it wasn't good enough to bother)
I really liked the way they weaved two or three story lines into each season and usually had some sort of connection between each line at some point. I liked the pace and the characters although I did start out wondering about the acting. By the time I got into it I circled back and liked the acting as I got to know the characters better. As far as the pace, it wasn't constantly in your face so you had time to digest what was going on and try and figure out where it was going as you were watching. I liked that aspect.
We've watched one or two episodes of Patriot. We like it.
Would be on board for another season. 
Can't say enough great things. Karl Urban is phenomenal, and for a show theme that could so easily be derivative and trope-y, it is decidedly not. I mean, it does cover a similar theme as The Watchmen ("Who watches the Watchmen?) but is really well done with some solid acting all around.
Yeah not big on Bosch either. I thought it could have hav3 been a lot better with an unknown cast.
