Harry Potter is boring and hollow. While you could make an epic show from the Lord of the Rings. With Harry Potter the films basically were all the worthwhile content from the books.

If they do an HP series it needs to not be about Harry Potter. Rowling's talent was world building, not plot. The world is rich enough for good writers to play around in. That won't happen but it couldm
 
HBOMax finally released the remaining half season of Doom Patrol.

And it came to the final episode and it was a good one.

It was such a great show overall. A few degrees weird. But I like it.

Still makes we wild how much better Cyborg looked on this low budget show than in Justice League.
 
Taskmaster is probably my favorite show. I love UK panel shows in general but taskmaster is the best for me by a bunch. We got into Panel shows during the pandemic when we'd watch 8 out 10 Cats does Countdown, Big Fat Quiz of the (insert title) and something else that's not coming to my mind. Taskmaster was a later addition. And got it's brilliant. The last season has been one of the most chaotic ever.
 
Just finished 2 shows yesterday. Echo and Scott Pilgrim Takes off. SCTO was awesome. I loved it.

Echo was fine. I liked the visuals I liked the general arc.

Saw it. Though it was a great adaptation/story in the fallout franchise. Goggins killed it as usual.

Goggins is one of the best western actors out there. He's so good at that stare, at that swagger, everything. Justified, Hateful 8, etc.

For sure. But he was clearly going super scifi with it. Second season will ultimately determine how much I like it. I liked the first season of Westworld much more than I liked Fallout, but I'll admit that I didn't really care for later seasons. Second season was still good for Westworld just a step down from the first IMO. 3rd was bad.
 
I think the problem with Westworld is a lot of casuals were tuned into season one because it was a western. When they veered away from that a lot of people quit watching

Season 2 still did quite well in the ratings.

BUt don't just blame it on casuals and westerns. Season 1 also saw the killing off of Anthony Hopkins's character who was amazing. Also wound up with a massive reduction in James Marsden's character, death of the plot twist that was Jimmy/Man in Black, etc. Season 1 was a twisty turny blast. Season 2 was a more straight up character driven scifi. Season 3 was fine. I never got around to watching season 4 because I've been doing other things I enjoy more. i'll probably go back to it all at some point. But right now it's not at the top of my list.

True. But as Zito said, Westworld is ultimately a scifi show while Fallout is a post apocalyptic western.

Westworld fell off as the seasons progressed like a lot of shows do sadly. Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris carried it imo. To me it's no surprise that later seasons got worse as Anthony Hopkins wasn't there after season 1 and Harris' role continued to dimish.
 
That is seven months from now, which is how long it took to find Daniel Radcliffe in 2000 for the title role in the Harry Potter movie franchise when he was 11. His co-stars, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, were 10 and 12, respectively.

"We are committed to inclusive, diverse casting," the casting call notes at the bottom in language that has become an industry standard. "For every role, please submit qualified performers, without regard to ethnicity, sex, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis protected by law unless otherwise specifically indicated."

WBD wouldn’t really be that stupid would they?
 
Wyatt Earp and the cowboy war

A little cheesy but very informative and shows how much abroad the “Wild West “ persona affected our growth as a nation

Even with Harris and Hopkins gone, there was still a star studded cast. Wright is great as is wood and Tessa Thompson.

Problem was the story got so convoluted. It was trying to do inception on itself multiple times to the point of confusing viewers on what the timeline and events happening were. And you can tell Nolan and his wife had no idea where the direction of the show was going.

It ended up being more like Tenet which still is difficult to understand.
