I finally caught up and finished SEE and I was kind of disappointed. I still think its a good series overall, but the last season was really lackluster. Baba Voss was great and always has been. Sibeth continued to kill it (and everyone) while being super weird, but the plot was really dumb and simple, stretched out over like 8 episodes.

Is there ever any hint as to who Kofun's biological father was? Was it Harlan? It was revealed that Maghra came to Alkenny already pregnant, so Baba Voss isn't the father. Was that addressed in an earlier season and i'm just forgetting? And the last scene, where they find the library full of sighted people: how did they get a map to get there? I realize it was given to them by Maghra, but how did she find out about it?

I guess I just had a lot of questions and while I probably missed where the answers came from, I don't wanna go back and rewatch any of it to figure it out myself.
I was pretty sure Haniwa and Kofun both had the same father as the other sighted kids. Jerlamarel That was clarified really early in the series.

Agreed! Great payoff with the reveals. The season overall was pretty great. Maybe it could have been trimmed by an episode or two but overall it ruled.
I guessed the two main twists a week or two ago that Grace killed him and that the Claffins would trade dropping the claim for not exposing the murder , although I did not expect that the neighbor helped with staging the body, or that JP raped Eva, loving gross, although it explains the special contempt and animosity between the two of them..

Yeah, I got most of it, but I thought Grace's kid had done it somehow, not Grace.

Good show.

I just got notification about the $2 price increase. It’s still way cheaper than most of the other services but there’s not enough new content for me to subscribe year round anymore.

Yeah, that first episode was a shocker, too. What was the reason for that? Did F. Murray Abraham not want to risk his health by working with a lot of actors around?

I wasn’t really feeling that first episode, but I thought the second was back to the show’s typical quality, so looking forward to the rest of the season!

Or it was scheduling conflicts, or he demanded a raise, or one of the producers stopped dating him.

No real point in speculating, I guess.

Finished watching season 3 of SEE. Overall I enjoyed the show! The series finale though was quite silly, and I was disappointed that Kofun didn't die. But overall it was an actual good show, but I felt like I was maybe the only person that watched it for all three seasons.

Nah i liked it. Always thought the villain lady was giving a much more enjoyable performance than mostly anyone else. Like how they shot her final scene in the finale.

It's not high art, or as good as the Cinemax shows it's in tradition with. But it's fun.

I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
I had a year of free Apple TV+, and probably a year of paying, mostly through inertia and it was only 6 euros a month. Now looks like the price will rise a couple of euros at the end of the year, so I guess it's time to binge a few series, then pull the plug. Hope it shows in their stats.

Hell, I'm perfectly capable of using torrents, but it's just been a convenience thing.

Mythic Quest still fuckin' got it. The end of the latest episode actually made me tear up. Plus we get banger acting like this:

And lovely pearls of wisdom like this:

The show honestly deserves way more attention than it gets. I don't know how Apple+ is about cancelling good shows but if this one gets canned, it only deserved it because it was on Apple+.

Nah Mythic Quest continues to be great. Not as great as White Lotus but they’re completely different kettle of fish so it’s not really fair to compare them (although I still am, and judging White Lotus superior)

I slept on Ted Lasso because, frankly, I forget I have a sub to ATV+, but finally had a long haul flight to/from England and this was the most appropriate choice to kill a few hours.

And boy am I glad I did. It's the uplifting content I needed this year. Of note I'll say that completely by coincidence I happened to be working through an edible and it hit HARD just as Beard After Hours came up in the queue and.. hoo boy, that was incredibly surreal. I'll need to re-watch it sober to see if it's as amazing as I remember :lol:

I have to say that halfway through the current season of Mythic Quest, and it’s just not hitting the same for me as the first two. There are still a lot of good individual bits in each episode, but I feel like most episodes haven’t really cohered, the same with the overarching storylines for the season. I still like it but it feels like some spark is missing.

It’s weird that they’ve separated all of the characters so much. It makes me think there were schedule or budget issues.

Oh yeah, that subplot is horrendous.

But I can't help it, I love Charlotte Nicdao, and Jessie Ennis in particular has been killing it with the reaction shots this year. And that new set is very cool.

The end of the most recent episode implied that Ian had been playing Playpen behind Poppy's back the entire time, right? Or did I miss something else there?

I'm not as into this season of MQ as the other two either, but it's still reasonably fun for me. I do feel like they're struggling to figure out what to do with a lot of the characters story-wise, but the dialog and performances are still entertaining.

Which ones are you thinking of? I figure that Dana and Rachel are being kept largely apart as a set up to them having the focus episode this season.
