By Zabojnik Go To PostFinally watched the first two episodes of Succession S1. Pretty good, but it didn't manage to pull me in yet. I imagine it's only a matter of time.
Cousin Greg the undisputed star of the show for now.
Episode 5 or 6 is when it really got going for me. As above, I’ve only just finished S1 so a very recent convert.
There's a few episodes of Succession in season 1 or 2 where there are so many jokes so quickly it at times feels like a better comedy than 90% of actual comedies
like if iannucci made a drama

Watching Prison Break for the first time. Up to Episode 14 of Season 1. The dudes who play the main brothers are terrible actors. They are so wooden, they make Keanu Reeves look like Daniel Day Lewis. At least the supporting cast holds up.
First part of Prison Break was great. It was a limited series and then it became a hit and they extend the first season and then went crazy weird.

How do they even plan to turn it into a TV series? The series became bloated later on but the first couple of books are really quite simple children stories. There's not a lot of plot to adapt.
Not to mention the difficulty of having most of your cast be child actors

Each season is a school year innit?

I was more thinking about aging than anything. If they're gonna do a season at the school then they'll probably want to expand a lot of the side kids, you can't just have Irish McGuiness and Bombay Marsala being one-liner roles anymore. Now they have to hope every kid they cast grows up gracefully. The films got away with it because they only really needed to worry about 5 child actors, not 20+

Actually had to check whether they were real names she used because I absolutely wouldn't put it past her.
Seasons don't have to have the same amount of episodes. 6 episodes for the first few would work, but you'd want more for book 4 onwards

Easy peasy. And like Reilo said, they can use idpol casting to cover for the rest of JK's bullshit
A Harry Potter series could make a lot of improvements on the movies, especially with Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix which had most of the interesting subplots cut out.
Dunno what they'll do with casting though. The movies weren't great themselves, but had great actors. Snape and Hagrid were so perfectly cast that whomever takes over will always face unfavourable comparisons.

By n8 dogg Go To PostSpeaking of great TV episodes, Boar on the Floor into the ATN ‘siege’ is a hell of a two-punch.Logan Roy, what a character
Dirty Pretty Things is a great film.
But yeah, it's like when game Devs started putting 'Fall' on the end of everything.

Still watching SWAT and season 4 has been interesting.
The main plot point for the season is a white supremacist terrorist group but the subplot has been the discovery of a group of racist cops.
Not exactly safe material.

Making my way through season 2 of Prison Break and out of nowhere I see this. Always fun catching memes out in the wild.
Prison Break is a good show because of how utterly ridiculous it is after the first season. You can tell the people behind it were just winging it as it went along and on the finest coke.
When is a good time to stop? I've actually enjoyed season 2 more than season 1 but there is a big drop off on rotten tomatoes for season 3 onwards.
I like watching shows that are campy or bad sometimes, and season 3 is entertaining to me. I stopped in the 4th but ended up going back like 5 years later to finish it. I haven't seen the newest ones that came out in 2017.
Quantum Leap reboot season finale was this week. Season 2 already confirmed. I thought it was pretty good. There are very few shows that I watch weekly rather than binge at my own pace and this was one of them. It's not just a rehashing of the original, they spend a bit of time outside of the leap and in the present day with the team helping the protagonist, and who doesn't love a bit of Ernie Hudson. Thought the chemistry between the leads wasn't very strong at the start but it got better throughout the season.

I knew of prison break but never really watched it. 2 episodes in and in seems like decent background tv/garbage to fall asleep to like Law&Order.
I do wonder how this dude landed a lead role. Racial ambiguity?
