Enjoyed the 1st 3 episodes of Wheel of Time 1or 2 iffy bits but overall ok ,think it was always going to have a hard time because of Game of thrones /Lord of the rings comparisons being made , 2 reviews I saw compared it to GOT and that it was slow paced :eh: personally felt a lot happened in the 1st episode. unlike GOT I was aware of the books and was hoping for years that it would be made into a film / show just to save me hassle of reading them.

I watched ep 1-3 after reading this and thought it’s pretty meh

But ep4 was much better. I actually liked it and only 4 more to go.

It already has a season 2 lined up too.

At least there is a season 2 coming , still seems like something is slighty off for me ,I am enjoying it but still :think:
I saw somewhere compare its production to it looking more like bbc's merlin and thats what it reminds me of I think ,I haven't seen Merlin outside of some adds. :P

Terrific mid season finale to Better Call Saul tonight. Every bit as good as Breaking Bad. I’m going to miss it.

aye great build up through the episode I'm going miss it for sure when finished
that flickering candle was fantastic scene building , felt Howard was one character that could have easily just faded away and didn't necessarily need to be explained until Lalo arrived that was ! Lalo and Nacho have been great this season and in all seasons really !

Sky/HBO.

Don't look for a trailer, just find and watch the whole thing.

That is all.

I got through 20 minutes of the first episode before turning it off. Half of that was a man walking down corridors.

It was magnificent. This final season has had everything.
I found the first 15 minutes a really horrible watch. A fate worse than death for Kim. Absolutely heartbreaking. I wasn’t expecting that.

Agree was enthralled through it all, and great acting and scenes this season,they even rejuvenated Mike a bit :lol:
to me Kim's eyes seemed to have a touch of sepia to them and had me transfixed on it

Really was masterful, a show I never wanted to end and characters so well written and acted it was a joy to watch.

Had no enthusiasm for House of the Dragon, given the disappointing final seasons of GoT, but I really enjoyed the first episode. It seems to be very much recycling the formula, but it’s a damned addictive one and I’m hooked. FFS.
