Am I alone in thinking the latest season of Succession is a bit shit? I loved the 1st 2 season, but I'm finding this one just dull and I just don't care about any outcome or any of the people.

Gomorrah is outstanding.

I've just watched the final episode now (didn't realise it was the final one when I was watching it), I thought it was like watching paint dry. I'm going to put this one down to maybe the writers lost some creativity having to write it through lockdown over zoom or something. But after that I wouldn't be upset if there wasn't a 4th season.

Dexter s01e01

 

Apart from Yellowstone, currently got nothing on the go so I thought I'd start this.

 

Not blown away but it was decent enough. Putting episode 2 on now...

 

6/10

Season 1 from 15 years ago or the season 1 of Dexter new blood?

I quite wish I had it all to watch. The opening seasons are class, although it's hard to know how it's aged  unless you watch with fresh eyes like you.

Classic US TV show behaviour isn't it?  Writers have good idea, show becomes popular, then instead of being a nice tight one or two series programme, they keep it going for as long as it continues to make money.  Either goes boring or massively over the top, but enough people (in America) keep watching it for it to limp on for years past it's best.

 

I haven't watched any of Succession Series 3 yet though (I'm a slow TV watcher), so could be talking out of my arse in this particular case.

Was this the final episode? I too had no idea either. It was a big drop off from previous series though,no doubt.

@Bjornebye still thinks it's great, so don't take my word on it. But I didn't enjoy this from the start and hoped it would warm up but it didn't. It just felt like "how can we invent the next random family argument" - and the end was so predictable. 

 

But you're right, it is classic US behaviour but usually less so with HBO. What drives me mad with the regular networks is if it get to season 4 they've usually locked in overseas contracts and it's profitable regardless of if anyone is watching it anywhere.

Yeah, I think episode 9 was the last one. It appears to have dropped off my planner anyway.

Dexter is great, especially the season with John Lithgow. The ending let it down but New Blood looks to be rectifying that.

Its ok,but I'm not really a fan of the son and the 'teenage' angle.

I quite like it, don't mind his son. Definitely needs to get a bit darker though.

*****spoilers****** i went back to the final 2 seasons of dexter. on 2nd viewing i quite liked the ending. once you were already aware of where he was ending up and weren't expecting something perhaps bigger, i thought it worked really well. and there were parts in his behaviour through that period that made it feel almost like a logical conclusion - well aside from the deb/boat part, which was fucking weird. but he's a head case, so maybe it should be weird. I am expecting a more dramatic ending this time around of course.

Started this for the first time last night too, thought pretty much the same. We're going to stick with it for a few episodes.

American Auto. A new work place comedy from NBC. I've just watched the pilot episode and it wasn't too bad at all and certainly has potential to grow - it was definitely better than I was expecting. It's based around a failing car company in Detroit who hire a new CEO who doesn't know about cars from the pharma industry. It very much has a vibe of The Office (without the single camera/mockumentary angle). All in all a good start for a 20 min network comedy programme. 7/10.

Dopesick. Only watched the first episode but I can just tell this will be brilliant, thought-provoking and a little glimpse into how these pharmaceutical companies peddle their products. 

[Section_31]

Watching season 3 of Titans, it's boss, first season was great, second was all over the place, but it's really good again, set mostly in Gotham this time with the Scarecrow as the main villain and he's absolute class. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Dexter's sister is possibly the worst actress I've ever seen.

 

She's has a body like an ironing board and her acting is as wooden.

[Bruce Spanner]

Nathan Barley - Thirfuckingteen out of the number five.

 

Absolutely peerless.

 

Totally fucking Mexico.

I'm a few episodes into this and its very,very good. I know the story but the dramatisation is excellent too.
