I got done with TD Season 4 last night and my god, what an awful show all around. Acting including foster was mostly crap (although I thought the son was pretty good).Yeah, reusing the "time is a flat circle" made me groan out loud. So, so corny.
Thinking about it more last night, I probably dislike it more. Some of the plot holes are just inexcusable.I don't know if it's better than 2 or 3. I think 3 was much better written, but I remember being bored by most of it. Season 2 was a train wreck, but had some entertaining moments. I still love the stuff with Farrell and his kid, and there was a dream sequence with his dad that is one of my favorite scenes in the entire franchise, but the season as a whole was a hot mess. Aside from 1, this was probably the most even season from beginning to end. That's a very low bar though.
I see a lot of chatter online saying the extreme hate is because it had female leads and is driven by misogyny. I'd imagine that's true for some, but not most. Mare of Easttown and Sharp Obects were female-driven crime shows, and I found both much, much better than Night Country.

Yes to everything. Some of the logic used to wrap things up was beyond stupid.

Not super excited with the same showrunner returning. Just pass it around.

It does make sense though. It was the most watched of any season and the audience grew with each episode.

Rates will continue to climb, and then all ad-free tiers will be removed (my guess).

I've noticed a lot more 3rd party content being added lately. It's almost like it's returning to where we were before everybody decided to have their own streaming service.

Shogun has been on my radar since the first teaser trailer. Already added a OnePass for it on my TiVo.

Guy Ritchie directing and producing a Ray Donovan spinoff(?) "new series loosely based on Ray Donovan" called "The Donovans."
https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/paramo ... 235925366/
Kind of weird they aren't calling it a spinoff, but "loosely based on." Good pedigree though.Paramount+, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, and 101 Studios are teaming for a new series loosely based on the hit Showtime series “Ray Donovan.”
Titled “The Donovans,” the series will be fully written by Ronan Bennett with Guy Ritchie attached to direct and executive produce. It will be available to Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers later this year.
The official description of the series states, “With the most powerful clients in Europe, ‘The Donovans’ will see family fortunes and reputations at risk, odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner; and while the family might be London’s most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what’s in store tomorrow.”
The series is executive produced by Richie, Bennett, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin and Ivan Atkinson.

Everywhere else is calling it a spinoff, might have just been an editorial choice. *shrug*

Wife and I watched The Watcher on Netflix over the past two nights. I honestly don't know if it was good or not, or whether I'd recommend it. It held our attention, but some of the acting was comedically bad. Bobby Cannavale plays the dad, and for whatever reason I just didn't like him or his character. In like the second or third episode I realized that his voice sounds very similar to Anthony Bourdain's, then I couldn't unhear it. Mr. Bourdain is one of my favorites, and it kinda threw me.
Overall concept was pretty cool, but I was disappointed to learn afterwards that the 'based on a true story' is, well, stretched pretty far.

The extreme stretching of the true story is why I never bothered with the show.

We started watching The Morning Show for some reason. What a weird show. It's good and kinda interesting, but also mediocre and kinda boring. The show makes salient points about topical situations, but is extremely heavy handed in doing so. The show stars Jennifer Anniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carrell (who is excellent going against type), yet the best part of the show is Billy Crudup.

I had the same initial reaction to it. It’s like you’re not really sure who you’re supposed to like. It has an uncomfortableness to it, but almost in a good way.
