The Last of Us |

I never expected such a powerful and well made series to come out of a video game. Would have ignored this show had it not been for the positive word-of-mouth it was getting. Season 2 is now out, but I'm a bit afraid to watch it or at least never quite in right the mood to re-enter this world, expecting it to be a bit of a downer (but for all the right reasons).

I'm a big fan of this Game of Thrones prequel. I may like it even more than the original series, at least in part because there are more dragons.

I did not love the books and didn't get into the first season or two of the TV show very much. But as the series went on and as I rewatched the earlier seasons, I began to appreciate them more. By the end of the series, I was a huge fan and admirerer of the show. Yes, the quality diminished a bit in the last season, but I was on board and let it take me where it wanted to go and accepted it and loved it for what it was, rather than some expectations I projected onto it in advance. Highly recommend it, IF your into this kind of show.

This is an anthology show that has had 4 seasons at the time I am writing this. I recall enjoying every season of this show and definitely recommend it to folks open to some very dark themes and ideas. These are not simply murder mysteries, this show takes you to some particularly uncomfortable and sometimes scary places. While each season stands on it's own, I can't pick out any one seasons as being better or worse that the others. Not a show for kids or grandparents.

I started this show after I had just finished the series finale of Hacks on HBO and thought I might have found something to replace it. However, as I got further into the show I began to find it a bit too sappy for me. For me this show is similar in many ways to the Apple show Shrinking. I love the characters, I love the dense and witty dialogue, and their personal drama pulls at my heartstrings for a while. But, the show becomes a bit predictable in that you know that for all their flaws, all the characters will eventually do the right thing and everyone will find their way to neat and happy ending.

Dune: Prophecy |

This is a good show, set in the universe of a book that is one of my favorites. For the most part, I'm on board for this show and loved what it had to offer. However, all through the show I struggled with the idea that it's set 10,000 years before the book/movie. 10,000 years is a very long time and yet things don't seem to have changed much in that time span. Why does this bug me so much?

Some excellent performances poking fun at some obvious targets. Can be a bit much for me at times.

I was interested enough to make it through the first season. It was cancelled after that one season.
