Started watching "Cursed" on Netflix. It is the same sort of plot as "The Witcher" only with a short chubby chick as the lead hero. What's with all this plots with female leads in action stories? I can see if the female actress is athletic, a little muscular and over 5 feet tall but "Cursed" has an actress who is clearly a little on the portly side and not very athletic at all play the lead role. Of course it is a fantasy so we can imagine this slow, clumsy, plump warrior defeating big, muscular, athletic men in battle, right? I will reserve judgement until I finish the series, but I think they studios need to get back to producing their shows without regard to the cultural nonsense our society has become obsessed with. It's getting boring.

We need a new "Serial Mom".

I'm enjoying the show, but I'm also a fan of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Spoiler: Watched episode 3 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, 3 episodes left...

Speaking of enjoying this show, I found at lot of enjoyment from laughing at this:

I’m enjoying seeing the Zemo character being more fleshed out.

Spoiler: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Daniel 'Zemo' Brühl more fleshed out...

I agree. Also nice to see him in his comic book costume when he dawn the mask:

And great to hear a MCU character say "Baron Zemo," just like "Scarlet Witch."

When asked about his dancing in an interview, Daniel Brühl said, "there's more."
Of course fans got #ReleaseTheZemoCut trending on Twitter, thus this tweet.

I loved seeing him don the mask as well. And I appreciate that they’re making efforts to flesh out and modify the character to better align with the comics version. Now I wonder if we might someday see the Thunderbolts?

Probably not anytime soon, although it'd be interesting to see, I know I'd watch it.

And speaking of interesting, I can't wait to watch next week's episode of TFATWS.

Spoiler: Watched episode 4 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, 2 episodes left...

The tone of the show changed at the end of the episode, but this still happen...

Yeah, I noticed Sam and Bucky have eaten a couple of things he's given them: Food on the jet, candy in this episode. It makes me wonder if he's dosing them or implanting microchips. [SPOILER/]

I feel that each episode of this series gets better than the last. And while I'll never be thrilled with the supposed 'bad guys' super soldiers, the other plot points, like the Power Broker and now John Walker going over the edge both interest me quite a bit. Those two supporting characters being suddenly killed and the image of him out there in public with blood on the shield was an intense way to end the episode.

Can't wait to see where things progress from here.

Badlands, anyone? I am watching season 1 on Netflix and it's not bad.

BTW, I caught some of Game of Thrones season 1 on HBO and I remember why I was attracted to the show when it first aired. What a great series, story, and characters. But I could also see how the show went down hill after the first couple of seasons. At the time, killing off the main characters in a show, especially in the first seasons, was revolutionary. But as the seasons wore on, killing off all the characters led to the demise of the series. The final year of GoT had to be one of the most disappointing in the history of TV. The final episode was a disaster equaled only by the final season and episode of the Sopranos.

GoT didn't start that killing off characters before we were expecting it, Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy started the ball rolling on that and I never read the source for GoT so I don't know it they were breaking Martin's plots or not.

Ratings wise, GoT didn't lose steam, actually picked it up as each season progressed, like Breaking Bad did. I was in both fan camps so I don't know which was worse but the Throners could get over the top faster on a Monday morning. Both programs had one thing in common for me, I had to watch each episode as it premiered the last seasons, avoiding spoilers was impossible. My News Director at my stations was beyond a Throner. He was at work at 5am every weekday but he had watched the previous night's episode at least 3 times before he came to work. Time shifting it would have been cruel and unusual punishment for him because he just couldn't keep it to himself.

The series did not deviate too far from the book in the first season, although as you might expect taking a lengthy book to a TV series is going to require some modifications. But the HBO series began to deviate more I think in the next seasons. Of course at the end there was no book to convert to a series so the HBO writers had to work from a rough outline. Martin was brilliant with the first book, but the story seemed rushed at the end of the series. I think they definitely rushed the end of the series. I know some people loved it and some hated it. I was i the later category.

But I would love to see a spinoff featuring Arya's journeys.

Badlands is really entertaining, with incredible fight scenes. I don't know if it was cancelled after the last season I saw, but I hope not. They left it unfinished.

I am in season 2 now. I was a little worried it would be unfinished. So many series are left hanging because of COVID delays in filming. 2022 could be filled with new seasons for a lot of shows.

I forget how many seasons have been shown so far, I think 3. It's definitely a cool show.

From what I've read, a prequel is the first spin, sort of an origin series.

I was fine with the ending because there were other exceptional episodes leading up to that and I was so time vested in it. "Lost" is the one I am glad I missed. Fans of that were wishing bodily harm on JJ Abrams.

Broadchurch. British crime drama. Really good.

Great trailer and perfect song!

Looking forward to "Shadow and Bone" on Netflix April 23rd. This combines the Shadow & Bone and The Six of Crows book series by Leigh Bardugo. I only read Six of Crows but it was very good. Worth checking out.

 

[Juggernaut]

This week's TFATWS setup the finale to tie up loose ends, also watch the credits.

Spoiler: Watched episode 5 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, 1 episode left...

For any Peaky Blinder fans out there.. RIP Helen McRory. Only 52. She was great in Penny Dreadful, Harry Potter and also as Aunt Polly! Very sad news.
