I’m the same, if it doesn’t grab me immediately I’m out. TV conversations often go like:
Yeah, I put off watching Breaking Bad for eleven years for similar reasons. Binged four seasons in the last few months. It's pretty good.
Yeah, it took me till about Ep4 before that really, obviously clicked and it annoyed the piss out of me as I was trying to work out whether there were strong interconnections between the stories.
Well she's got a ton of books to base more story on. Heck, once that runs out she can even do the final seasons based on the games, the nerds will be all over that - to be fair, I'd love to see the Wild Hunt on screen.
Oh, that's less annoying then. I like the concept/universe, just the execution of the series was a bit of an annoyance.Matty wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 11:52 pmWell she's got a ton of books to base more story on.

And yes, Season 2 was greenlit before S1 aired. As it's been received well, and got plenty of views, I suspect you'll see a few more seasons.
This is why I’ve never got into Rick and Morty. Watched the pilot based on a mate’s recommendation and thought it was annoying and shit.
The trailers looked shit, if they can’t sell you it with a trailer you can be pretty sure it’s crap.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 11:33 am Same, saw the hype surrounding it, watched a couple of episodes when it came on normal telly, thought it was the most overrated load of crap I've ever seen.
Thoroughly enjoyable, I listened to the excellent audiobook in parallel. But it confuses me as to why the "this world" parts were in the TV series at all.NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 9:18 pm Can’t believe His Dark Materials has finished. I guess we’ll have to wait a year for it to continue. Absolutely loved the series.
I thought it was dreadful. Far too slow. They’re dragging it out over 3 episodes.
