Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hunter-Killer: The Americans had an interesting premise and it was good for a while, but it kinda limped to the finish line, IMO.

I was underwhelmed with the final season overall and the finale was “ehh.” I think it's because the "action" stopped--and it became about inter-personal treachery and moral degradation and haunting betrayals, which (in my opinion) is what REALLY shed light on how fucked up Communism is/was. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By feudist: I do. Particularly for "limited" series because you can view them as an extended movie.

Not to mention abrupt cancellation cliffhangers, like Firefly or Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Also there are shows that are enjoyable if you binge watch them because it doesn't allow you time to stop and really analyze what you're watching. If you they cut it back to only one episode a week suddenly the show you use to enjoy as you let the content wash over you looks objectively not very good. Take Cobra Kai (post-S1) for example. Binge a 10 episode season in 24 hours makes for a, mostly, enjoyable experience. However, if you objectively analyze each episode a week at a time you'd probably realize it's a show with bad/lazy writing, cringe dialogue, porn quality acting, and is LARGELY dependent on bombarding the audience with Member Berries. |

Yikes, RRR was over the top Bollywood at 3 hours long.
 Like others said, could have shaved off a good hour and still had the same movie. Was mostly entertaining in the beginning and at the extended climactic battle scene with a long dragging portion in the middle. Whole lot of over the top cartoonish fight scenes both hand to hand and with firearms and even a motorcycle or two tossed in for good measure. The very long extended prison break/climactic ending battle especially so. The copious amounts of singing and dancing won't be everyone cup of tea. And yes the British, with the exception of one female character, are very much the bad guys in this one from start to finish.For what ever reason Netflix on my Roku defaulted to Brazilian Portuguese for the audio track.  Only choices for audio track were that, Hindi or Spanish. Had to switch it to Hindi with English subtitles.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hunter-Killer: The series Girl from Nowhere might be worth a try if you're into stuff about revenge/people getting their comeuppance. It's an anthology with the same character in every episode (rarely as the main character and sometimes she's barely in it). Watching the first episode should give you a good idea as to whether you'd enjoy it or not. The show makes more sense after you find out... (spoiler for E2) Click To View Spoiler I didn't think it was anything epic, but I did find it original and mostly enjoyable. Nanno is pretty easy on the eyes too, IMO. Two episodes into it and yes the second episode (near the end) does help explain things. While the Nanno actress may be easy on the eyes her laugh is harsh on the ears. Some of the plotline however (at least in the first two episodes) may be disturbing or uncomfortable to some. Click To View Spoiler |
