***OFFICIAL*** What are you watching right now?

[BearDen]

I haven’t played the game or read the books. I kind of get the same feeling as what you’re saying that once the setup in this season is over following seasons will be allot better. Glad you said that thought I was just trying to convince myself shit will get better cause I want this show to succeed lol

Seems that the consensus is that episode 1 was just all over the place and anyone who hadn't read the books/played the games would have no clue what's going on. I felt this way, decided to muscle through the next few episodes and each got better as it went along.

Ok finished Witcher. I definitely think the second season will be better than this one. The last two episodes were really good.

I find it weird they used a whole season pretty much just to intro us to the characters. One thing I notice is unlike got they aren’t cheap at all with the budget. Scenery was great. Doesn’t seem like they are cutting corners to save money. They intro allot of characters for a show. That isn’t cheap and very detailed. I didn’t read the books but I’m getting that vibe so for those that did am I getting this right? Like in got they cut cut cut lots of stuff. Battles characters plots themes and only increases the budget once they saw it was a success

bottom line I think they should have gone 12 episodes and given us more than just an intro to the Witcher world

Shit didnt realize Expanse season 4 was out on Amazon Prime. About to watch that.

I couldn’t get into this show at all. I stopped midway second season did it get better from that point?

So is Witcher worth my time or nah?

Can't comment on the show, but the books were great. Trying to remember who recommended awhile back. I think @botfly10

6 underground was solid. A typical Michael Bay film with lots of action and some pretty unbelievable athletic moves lol

I liked it but might bother some cause it’s all intro to the Witcher world. I wouldnt blame anyone if they decided to start watching when season 2 comes out

I normally like to hate on Michael Bay, but I enjoyed this one. It was so over the top that it actually worked for me. Pretty fun watch.

Re: the witcher. Toss your coin to the witcher had me rofling. That was like showgirls level bad.

I only played the game, never read the books. I may be suffering from fantasy fatigue. Will give it another few episodes cos nothing else to watch

You've got more energy than me. I'll probably make it until the third quarter, and then wake up on the couch around midnight to turn the TV off. I'd force myself to stay awake if it meant something.

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

Tried getting into the expanse but I couldn’t. Should I bother keep watching?

I'm on break. But this is an ambitious task. I can only make an attempt. This movie comes highly recommended by Sean Salisbury. He called into a local sports talk show and made a point to say how undervalued and awesome the movie is. I will report back.

Looking forward to it. May not finish but I will report back when completed.

Yeah that was intentional though. They purposefully wanted the audience to think all of this could be happening in same timeline. Wanted the audience to sort of discover as they went along that it wasn't.

To be fair no one knew a show like GoT could succeed so they had to be cautious. By contrast Netflix purposefully wants Witcher to be one of their flagship series.

I would also say they took the first season to intro the characters because that really is how the first 2 books were. Since they were collections of short stories, they really were just fleshing out the characters more rather than telling a coherent story.

What kind of pyschopath only watches half of a 2 hour film?

 

[remydat]

Well I liked it from the start so hard to say really. I just liked the politics of Earth, Mars and the Belt. They started to get into the alien stuff a bit more so depends on if you like that mystery.

The late night drunken, high kind

If you like fantasy then yes. Takes a few episodes to hit its stride like around Episode 5. I think the later seasons will be better too as the novels are better than the short stories this first season is based on. There are some twists in store already set up this season that you will not find out about until much later.

I liked it but might bother some cause it’s all intro to the Witcher world. I wouldnt blame anyone if they decided to start watching when season 2 comes out

I wouldnt recommend because some of the characters introduced that seem insignificant now play major roles once the novels get going.

 

[BearDen]

Yeah that was intentional though. They purposefully wanted the audience to think all of this could be happening in same timeline. Wanted the audience to sort of discover as they went along that it wasn't.

The problem is that once you figure out there are different timelines, they once again go and throw you more timelines without any explanation. It's not creative or thought provoking, just confusing. I enjoyed the story but it's some of the worst storytelling I've ever seen.
