Figured I'd start Manifest last week with the final season coming out. It seems to be universally well liked and Netflix brought it back by popular demand. Ripped through the 1st season and a few episodes of the 2nd. It's ok, has my interest, but nothing spectacular. I'd forgotten how tame network TV is though.

I finished episode 7. It was quite powerful. I should have said it a slow burn to tension versus quick.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
We started this when it was originally on and your comment about network TV was what made us abandon it. It's like night and day. And the plotlines were just kinda silly at times.

Same here. I don't remember how far we got into it, but eventually dropped the show. I was hoping for another "Lost", but it never came close.
While I enjoyed Love & Death, I liked Candy (Hulu 2022) more. I thought Jessica Biel was a more believable Candy Montgomery.

We finished the final season of “The Last Kingdom” last night (we have not seen the movie yet though). Really enjoyed it. It is not “Game Of Thrones” level by any means, but the acting was good for the most part and the fighting scenes were amazingly choreographed. I really liked the ending, so not sure of the need for an additional movie, but I will hold judgement until I watch it. Anyway, if you like Historical Fiction I highly recommend this show. “Destiny Is All!..........”
Just finished "Barry"...I really liked the characters, but wasn't crazy about S4.
I am on season one, and enjoying it. Didn't know about the movie, so thanks!

Yes great characters but storyline got quite confusing in S4, at least to my aging receptors...

The movie is called "7 Kings Must Die" and takes place after season 5. I am not sure what the story behind the movie is as I thought they wrapped up the series quite well at the end of season 5, but I guess we'll find out. We plan to watch the movie sometime this week.
Had the chance to watch the “7 Kings Must Die” movie last night. I liked it, but it felt like they tried to cram a whole season into 2 hours which didn’t always work. Pivotal sequences take place one after the other and time is condensed down considerably from the historical events. A few cast members from the show are missing as well. I am still not sure that there needed to be a film after season 5, but it does close the story of Uthread and wraps up the historical aspect of the show well. Bottom line, I liked it, but didn’t love it. If you make it all the way through Season 5 it is worth watching.
So, the opposite of Yellowjackets.

Ha, truth!So, the opposite of Yellowjackets.
I thought they closed it out well, with enough historically accurate elements. Loved the series overall.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds over at YT. It's okay, but I don't buy it as a prequel to TOS. It's too flashy by design, it's like they just took a few characters from TOS and name dropped them for the Trekkie community. Plus the audio on this series is murky among other problems. Tho I guess for free I should not complain.
I enjoyed SNW more than any other ST series.
As for the audio, I was curious to see what you were talking about and I did not notice anything problematic or unusual.
What surprised me is that the whole first season is free. It almost pisses me off since I subscribe to Paramount.

Any of you watching Silo on Apple? We really got sucked into it.
Finally started Barty recently. First episode of season 3 down. Season 2 finale was pretty epic.
Yes, I really enjoy it so far and bought the first book too (Wool). I haven't seen the latest episode due to bad weather, but it's been good. I believe they started working on the second season.
I've only seen the pilot episode -- is there more than that on YT? At any rate, it had me all teary-eyed: the first real Trek, I thought, since TNG.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
There's a couple dodgy episodes but it does feel like real Trek. I really like the young actor playing Spock, Ethan Peck. He, um, had a grandfather you might know of.I've only seen the pilot episode -- is there more than that on YT? At any rate, it had me all teary-eyed: the first real Trek, I thought, since TNG.

Only modern trek worth watching imho.
