@Matt "close your eyes... your eyes, can deceive you, we must not trust them, tell me what comes into your mind? haha.

oh yes, I'm actual looking forward to this, its looking a lot more practical in the effects, but even the feel of Jedi have a different aura (not as arrogant) compared to prequels Jedi which is nice. what's your thoughts? you excited for it?

@JoshC @Matt - where does The Acolyte sit within the (viewing) timeline?

I’ve been blasting through The Bad Batch of late, only to find that the last few S3 episodes haven’t been released yet…doh!

Need to decide whether to go back and watch The Clone Wars (the series) or go forward and watch The Book of Boba Fett then S3 of the Mandalorian (I have seen S1 and S2).

I haven’t seen any of the other series yet.

That is a very confusing statement. I guess the Jedi don’t understand how vision works?

[Matt]

@mclaincausey you mean like anti absolutist Yoda saying Do or do not, there is no try?

@JoshC i am really excited about it actually. Carrie Ann Miss looks badass.

@Nocturama this take place before all the shows. High Republic Era.

[Matt]

@Nocturama watching Clone Wars will allow you to watch everything else. There are tons of characters in all the subsequent shows introduced in CW. The first season was hard for me to get into but after that it was smooth sailing. Rebels was my favorite.

@Matt I feel like the character Eddie,in Deadloch,is like an Australian version of Susie from The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel,if she was a detective. Really loving it. 3 episodes left.

@Matt Finished watching it last night,really enjoyed it. Favorite expressions were “Fuck me dead’ and “Off you pop’’ Also wins the award for the most frequent and creative use of the word “Cunt”

[Matt]

We’ve got the finale left to watch. Can’t wait.

While the first two or three episodes felt like a lot of work, Three Body Problem really paid off. Not consistently excellent. But a lot of originality and enjoyable thinking.

I may have missed any discussion of True Detective: Night Country here. Just made the mistake of looking at the True Detective Reddit thread, and need to know I wasn't the only one who thought it was great. I realise that reddit is full of wannabe sub-sigma, quasi incel chads, but the hate for it was poisonous.

[Jett129]

@neph93 I don’t think that there was a whole lot of discussion other than some people saying that they were watching it,which was enough to get me to watch it. Thought Jodi Foster absolutely killed it as did the rest of the cast,but as an actor she starts at “next level “ First one I’ve watched since the first season.

[neph93]

^ exactly this. Regardless of anything else, Jodie Foster was immense. I liked a load of other things about it too. I think a lot of folks younger than you and I got their boxershorts all bunched up because of the focus on the female experience. Men who are insecure in their masculinity are the worst.

@neph93 Just curious,have you ever watched Fargo at all? I went from the most recent season of Fargo with Juno Temple/John Hamm to this. Both taking place in very cold environments. Juno was to Fargo what Jodi was to True Detective. In my opinion.

[neph93]

Couldn’t agree more. I watched then in tandem and loved them both. When it comes to characters and performances, Fargo was maybe superior. John Hamm and JJ Leigh were also incredibly good.

[Jett129]

@neph93 John Hamm was,absolutely,really great and that was on the heels of a season of Morning News where,once again he crushed it.

[Matt]

@neph93 Katie and I loved it. We were sad when it was over.

[popvulture]

I thought Night Country was great. Wasn’t super in love with the finale, but I still enjoyed it. As a series overall, fantastic.

Been meaning to check out Fargo, heard nothing but good things.

[Matt]

I’m frequently disappointed by finales. I’m sure it’s hard to wrap up really involved storylines.

My wife and I finished Fargo season 5 last night, absolutely brilliant, so thank you to anyone who recommended it above. Season 2 was my favourite TV for a long time and after a relatively slow season 4 we were a bit reluctant to start season 5 but so glad we did. As has been previously mentioned, Juno Temple and Jon Hamm both fantastic and Jennifer Jason Leigh stealing every scene she’s in, spat my beer out a couple of times at some of her lines highly recommmended.
