The Studio on apple is pretty funny.

Anyone been watching the final series of The Handmaid’s Tale? Really disappointing. Elizabeth Moss has basically just turned it into a show about slow motion close ups of her face.

Yeah, usually cannot stand Seth Rogan but really enjoying it.

Can’t believe they had Scorsese in episode 1.

The Studio is really good but can get a bit shouty at times.  
the awards episode killed me.

The last of us….

About 5 minutes into this I realised I didn’t actually give a shit about any of this.  
So the next season fucks off these people and moves on to Abby and co, (like they do in the games my son says). I guess that’s good because yeah, don’t care.  
How is 7 episodes classed as a season?

I lost all interest in this show pretty quickly into season 2, but endured it just to get to the end. I get that they needed to stick to the game plotline but they kinda neutered it when Pedro got twatted. It’s no coincidence that the flashback episode was one of the highest rated.

They seemed to change enough between game and show that they could have pretty much ignored a big part of the second game and done their own thing.

We’re all caught up now as well. It’s great fun, such a good cast and dodgy accents aside Brosnan and Mirren look like they’re really enjoying themselves.

These ratings tell a story:

All they had to do was stay truer to the source material, have a longer season, and not open with plodding episodes. You see it time and time again where the latter episodes in a season have to rush to get to the end.

Really disappointed in it.

Tbh that’s all you need.

That said I will be watching 28 years later next month.

Yeah they haven’t been great with getting new series out quickly. The last one came out 3 years ago. However I can not get enough of it so I can let them off and just sit there eagerly awaiting.

Just finished binging “From” series 3 in 4 days.

By far the best zombie tv series.
