I just finished the last season of Vikings. The show never was the quite same after it rebooted its cast, and got *extremely* repetitive the last couple years. I routinely skipped through major chunks of the show and didn’t miss anything. But that said, the last season lands the plane about as well as it could have. It was a satisfying conclusion.

Good to hear. I haven't finished it even though I still enjoyed it well enough.
It's no GoT though.

I loved the first few seasons, but for me it tailed off a bit the past couple. Will still watch the final season when I can get to it.wlwiles said:In keeping with my "waiting till shows are over to start them" I started Vikings over the weekend. Pretty fast paced show so far, a lot happens in the first 5 episodes. And Lagertha
The biggest disappointment for me was learning the original of this show has regular nudity, which is scrubbed out of the US version. Unforgiveable.

Bwahhhahahaha!!You may know stocks but you don’t know tv shows
I loved GOT too brother. I just enjoyed the characters on Vikings more and the fact that some of it was actually real history.

Like GOT seasons 6,7,8.....nothing close to seasons 1-5.
They #### the bed in season 8 too. Badly.

Wait, US version? Is the original a British show or something? Am I watching the wrong one?

if i've come to learn anything in life it's that there's always a British version of a show first and it's always better

I think its made by a Canadian/Irish company. The version they sell to the US market goes through the History channel and gets scrubbed of the naughty bits. I'm exaggerating a bit to make a joke, but was a bit disappointed when I first learned that. Last I looked, there was no easy way to get the other version through any streaming service available to us.

Really enjoyed Warrior. Good pacing on the storyline, as well as the action scenes. Fun watch.

We finished watching Mad Men this weekend. It was pretty good the first 5 seasons or so, the last 2 weren't so great. It went downhill writing wise after Lane's departure. Some really good characters (Don and Peggy are all timers). Yet somehow for me the parts were greater than the sum. I did like the way they concluded Don's storyline.

I watch the first season of a show and by the time the next season comes around I'm on to other things or have lost interest. Once a few actually end or are not renewed I may go back. A few I need to go back too though.

Netflix started me off with the "dubbed" version of Lupin. I was originally disappointed because I found it distracting when words were not in sync with their mouths -- I switched to the subtitled version, much better.

seems like most of the Netflix shows we've watched recently are subtitledBinky The Doormat said:

This show is so great. Jealous.
There are some lesser seasons towards the end but the very last season is definitely worth sticking around for.

I recall a few of us litigating that issue in this thread before. I think the early seasons of Vikings were better, but someone who likes one of those should definitely enjoy the other as well.

My personal choice for best show of all-time. Perfect pacing, perfect mix of character building and action, awesome ending/wrap-up.

We enjoyed this a lot. Can be a bit odd at times, but overall it's pretty well done imo

Started Flight Attendant last night. Basically the same premise as Night Of. Not sure I'll stick with it, though I do enjoy watching Kelly Coco (sp?).

I guess I will be the guy that says it. This one is better than the original mini series. I wish we had more of the collapse of society, but the book doesn’t spend a lot of time on that either aside from the origins of a few characters. Most of the book is the journey to Boulder and reclaiming the Town. I like the cast. There are a few that don’t quite fit my picture of the character but I had that same problem with the original. All in all, I am glad they remade this.

Amazon Prime: " Most Wanted " 7/10.
Don't let the cast turn you off.

Plebs on Amazon Prime. I’m currently on S3 and really like it. Several very funny characters.
“Two desperate young men from the suburbs, try to get laid, hold down jobs and climb the social ladder while living in the big city...the city they're living in is ancient Rome.”

I started it last night got about 30 minutes in and turned it off. It didn’t hook me in. Not sure if I’ll go back and finish it.

Hey, there’s a new show on CBS that’s getting some heat... The Equalizer. It stars Queen Latifah, so it has to be good.

I watched the whole thing. Thought it was decent, much better than I was expecting.General Malaise said:

I've been watching this too. Not sure how I feel about it. I liked the original mini series, and this one isn't too bad. I would've liked to have seen more of their journey to Boulder, but I get why they cut it short. Not a fan of some of the characters/casting, but they found a very dislikable guy for Harold. Every time I see him I want to punch his little weaselly face.
I can't say if it will work for all channels, but I do this with my Hulu account where I may login to a certain channels app (ESPN for example) and you need to verify your provider (DirecTV, Spectrum or in my case, Hulu) in order to access content

Thanks! That's what I'm wondering. maybe I'll download some random channel app and see if youtubeTV shows up as a provider.
