And Season 4 is in the can (According to Gary Oldman , on various publicity talks / interviews) I was a bit floored that 6 ~42-45 minute episodes constitutes a season these days? I've watched half of "Season 3". Love the show but seems like a rather light season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the show but seems like a rather light season... Why do a lot of uk tv shows only do 6 episodes a ... " UK shows are written like a novel. American shows are written like a franchise" 13 episode shows would give you a season, four seasons would give you a year-round franchise. A short series makes sense in this case as the source material is a novel. Quality over quantity? Or just what the UK based production is used to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 After some deception watching last Scorsese's movie (I truly wish it's not his last one) I started: Slow Horses (season 3) Great show indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpelg Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Echo (Disney+) - Finally something decent out of the MCU since the whole Avengers story arc. Actor Alaqua Cox, who plays the titular character (aka Maya Lopez), is actually deaf, actual indigenous, and actually an aputee - all of which are incpororated into the storyline.

TMoney Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 First few episodes of Masters of the Air were pretty solid. Reminds me a lot of the movie Greyhound, in a good way. Not overly sentimental and gets to the point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiWire Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 No, but I think the episode order has been changed from their broadcast order. Some of the tightest comedy writing and performance I've seen recently. RIP, Phil Hartman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I liked the show a lot back in the day - but man that is a super shitty old school photoshop image for the cover. I think that AI could even do better these days. And RIP Phil (wow 26y ago), still missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiWire Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 (edited) I'm on season 2 right now. It's weird to see Toby Huss (Halt and Catch Fire) as a young man with Tone Loc. I'm not sure how season 5 will play with Jon Lovitz...

TMoney Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Drive to survive, but NASCAR? Yeah, I enjoyed this. Only 5 episodes so short and sweet. Sadly this does almost nothing to educate race-curious people like me on their sport. I know there is strategy, skill, and cool engineering that goes in to oval track racing but you get none of it here. The difference between NASCAR and F1 also couldn't be more stark. Still, this was fun and I recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
