The second episode of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was excellent but way way way too short. This is painful watching this story play out in 30 minute per week episodes. That’s the only flaw. Other than that, it’s perfect.

:warning: Warning there is another gratuitous moment early in this episode that was again not in the book. Probably my only other complaint. :warning:

Watched Netflix “his and hers” short series ( 6 episodes). Was good. Watchable and doesnt feel like you wasted your time. Makes you think through it. Does a pretty good job. Not a masterpiece but worth watching.

I agree. We did the first 2 episodes last night and enjoyed them.

I have been watching/binging Drive to Survive. Last night, I watched the episode on the 2020 Bahrain races. :exploding_head:

If you enjoy sports documentaries, this is a series for you. Even if you are not a F1 fan (I had a passing interest before I started the series), it is very well done. I can see why this (DTS) helped create Tour De France: Unchained.

She delivers !

They’ve been crushing it with the armor designs for this show.

Also I read where viewership is UP 15% for episode 2… Rare that happens. Word of mouth.

Brando Sando fans should be excited. He said on Reddit that he will be penning the scripts and it also sounds like Apple is going to not mess with his material - they’ll let him make what he wrote.

I guarantee he learned a hard lesson from watching Amazon destroy Wheel of Time.

The depth of posts in this thread can make it daunting to try to figure out a show to binge. With that in mind, I was thinking of trying to create a post/poll that summarizes, let’s say, the top 5 recommendations by NNN.

A poll could work, but it would only be a snapshot of when the poll takes place. The list would probably be different in a year. Plus, you have to figure out how many and which shows to put in the poll.

A shared spreadsheet might work. But then you have to figure out how to manage access, fake or duplicate entries, etc.

Any thoughts?

Is this something a mod could do with some of the reporting tools in the forum? I would think the forum could output mentions. Maybe I am naive on what forum software provides.

FWIW I think those ratings are fair. The first two were setup oriented and probably should have been one episode. The whole show should have been about 3 episodes of about an hour to an hour and a half length. Suits the story better.

I just got caught up on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and I am really enjoying this series. It’s nice to have a likeable protagonist and a story set in this universe that we’re seeing through just one character. The first two episodes may have been a little slow but I think it was necessary for the pay-off in E3. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

The next one might be a tad slow but the last two should be really good. Just depends on how they decided to handle it.

Officially official.

I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ve been a Throttle House fan for several years now. But I’m wondering what this new show is going to be because Grand tour was just the specials towards the last couple of seasons. I’d kind of like to see them go back to a studio show even if they don’t necessarily have guests and I really miss the stig and the laps in a reasonably priced car. I’m also split on whether I’d want the old trio to show up for the studio sessions. I understand that they are investors in the new show.

Episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was quite simply, the best yet. They nailed it. Pitch perfect with one small exception. I don’t care about that. The rest of it was PERFECT. This is the best show on TV and I have a hard time believing anything this year will be better.

Well done. OMG is it good to see well written TV again. It’s been so long. I’m so thankful for this.
