Did you binge Ozark?

My.

GAWD.

I finished it. Enjoyed it overall. Hope they leave it as is and don't revisit it.

Yeah, I don't want to see a spinoff.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Just finished day before yesterday. Not happy with part of that ending.

Dude....all I kept saying was WTF.....lol

No fucking spinoff.

Just leave me with that shit sandwich taste in my mouth for eternity...

Just like the Sopranos and trash ass Game of Thrones.

Oh yeah, fuck Dexter and that reboot season too.

Eh...it's a lot more of a wrap up than Sopranos was.

And nothing is worse than how Dexter ended. What's particularly crazy about Dexter is that the book ending is soooooooo much better.

I am watching it with my family. It is taking everything in me not to watch it and finish it on my own. Watched the first 2 episodes over the weekend.

Its so tense. The most tense TV show I think I have seen.

Dude, outside of Game of Thrones, I have never lost my shit over a TV show ending like with the Sopranos.

Just.....why?

We invested years watching Tony and Co and you just give us the middle finger, laugh and walk away?

Didn't read Dexter.

But, was squicked by the Dee Dee thing.

Yea. Sopranos is art gone bullshit. It's a cop out ending so they don't have to defend their position like GOT has.

The ending for GOT was reasonable. It just that they spent years world building and then had about 3 seasons worth of shit happen in 6 episodes. Made the ending jarring and stupid

no spoilers.....I'm starting this week.

Your opinion (if I'm reading it right) sure seems to be the consensus.

For me, I just took offense to the messages.

1. Doesn't matter how hard you try, you can never escape who you are.

2. It's better to be a broken man than a good woman.

3. How did she go from Martin Luther Abraham Lincoln to Adolph Hitler Louis Farrakhan in the blink of an eye?

I don't buy the stuff about burning the Tarly's.

Ned Stark said it himself, whomever passes the sentence should swing the sword.

Ned, Rob and Jon executed many for the same.

But, my biggest issue is this: Bran knew all roads led to genocide. But, he did nothing to alter the course so that he became King.

No, fuck that guy...lol

They didn't earn that ending.

Her heel turn should have started sooner and been way more definitive.

My wife loved loved Dany so she was equally bothered by it all. The writing was on the wall it would go that route but yes....they did a poor job getting there. Also all the build up with the White Walkers and it ended very suddenly.

They spent too much money on special effects and CGI that they could have cut out and added four or five more episodes wirh a better story. But it was pretty I guess lol..

Last Kingdom's ending totally blows away GOT in all aspects. Now granted that's a different POV in that it has one main character...but still.

If you haven't seen it I highly advise it.

I haven't seen it.

But, I will check it out.

It's set In a semi historical setting but unless you are a early English history buff much of it would be surprising. But even for me (having a decent handle on that period) it's a fantastic story.

No dragons though lol.

Seasons 1 through 6 of GOT is probably the best TV show of all time though. A shame the actors wanted so much money and they went so heavy handed with the special effects to blow the budget.

Gotta put some of that on D & D too.

HBO would have let them go a few more seasons.

But, D&D had just lined up Star Wars/Marvel projects and did not want to continue.

So, they crammed it all into 1 shit Season, which ultimately led them to dropout/ get removed from consideration of the Marvel projects because it ....

Sucked.

So.

BAAAAAAAAAD.

Karma, Baby.

Redick killing it once again

Never.
