Jay 37,359 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Couldn't tell you, never watched beyond season 1. I wouldn't describe season 1 as soapy, the repetition came from them relocating, getting attacked by zombies, relocating again, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Carnivale, Season 2 (final season). I think the first season is better, more mysterious, more about the life and people of the carnival. In that regard, season 2 is less rich and more interested in working towards the big showdown between Brother Justin and Ben Hawkins. It needs to be said, though, that brother Justin is a fascinating villain, wonderfully portrayed by Clancy Brown. The series deserved a third season but wasn't granted one.

Jay 37,359 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Daniel Knauf has a six season plan, with each 2 seasons telling one act of a 3-act story. So we got the first act, but not the second or third. Such a shame. I keep hoping HBO will revive it somehow... Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I loved The Walking Dead back in the day, looked forward to it each week, and was always careful to avoid spoilers. Season 1 was probably the best, but Seasons 2 and 3 were also enjoyable. By the middle of S4, I think it lost its way and never regained it. Then a few seasons ago, I started to resent its mudspinning. It became more about stupid people doing stupid things in a zombie world. I can't even tell you after what season she and I just mutually stopped watching. Probably 8 or 9, whenever <main character> let <main character> live without execution. I don't miss it one bit. I can't believe it's still running. I lost interest when Gimple ran it into the ground, and the new showrunner won't win me back. I can't believe it's spawned two television spinoffs and will also spawn a film franchise and cinematic universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,441 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I liked TWD until season 4 or 5, I guess, I dunno, that one when Carol single handlely destroys a compound of villains to set the other characters free. Loved her character, so badass! Then, the show became just utter shit, ruining every character, including my favorites, Carol and Rick. I gave up on season 7, and never bothered to return.

filmmusic 1,828 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Currently watching Beauty and the Beast after 33 years!!! A series with excellent production values which are more evident in the underground world and in the wonderful orchestral music! Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton also have excellent chemistry. This is my all-time favourite series, although I had given up on season 3 where Hamilton was absent. I'll try it once more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
