if its better than sandman im good.
lost all faith in MCU/DC guys current generation of production .
Update: Started & ended it.
Moon Knight , it's meh. 4/10 at max.
episode 1 is good but it exponentially degraded with every episode -- i cant make myself go beyond ep03.
Storytelling . doesn't exist, seem like it forcing the character to be deadlpool xerox copy.
Audio is hopeless, everyone want to be nolan. (I'm watching this in disney+)
Dialogues are barely audible , and action scene are shaking glasses of my house.

I think, Expanse was pretty good till season 3. After Amazon acquisition of the title, seasons became a bit bland but TBH the books themselves weren’t the highest point of the series for this section.
Marco Inaros storyline felt stretched out however, it was essential to highlight the genius of Duarte who becomes the main villain for the rest of the story covered in the books 7,8 and 9. These books are the best of the series IMO.
Let’s hope these are adapted soon to the screen.
later episodes really pick up, the first few episodes are meant to be confusing, it all ties together in the last few episodes, besides that, I am a history/mythology nerd so the finale was a treat for me
you wont really like series like Sandman (I am assuming you are talking about Gaiman's novel adaptation) unless you are really into mythology, there are lots of references in his books that you'll only get if you know them, these were even more apparent in American Gods, where each episode was just *chef's kiss* for me.if its better than sandman im good.

It's been a long time I watched that and I am finding it hard to recall what kind of Marvel crap it was. I don't recall rating it as well so I probably couldn't care less. Anyways, among those Marvel TV shows, I found Loki was the best and Hawkeye watchable. Rest, the lesser said the better. Among the new shows, I am only looking forward to Daredevil: Born Again but with zero expectations.
just read LOTR appendixes or maybe the Silmarillion if you really enjoy it, this is infinitely better than the crap these idiots are shovelling down our throats with Rings of Power. the appendix of Return of the King really made me cry when
When Frodo and Gandalf sailed away off to Valinor, Gimli and Legolas tried to follow them after some time with their own boat, Merry and Pippin retired in Minas Tirith and were buried beside Aragorn.
These ****ers had so much material to work with, that even if they released 20 ****ing seasons, they still wouldnt have nearly exhausted the source material, but no they had to go after the cliched Sauron and Celebrimbor story and even that they ****ed it up
Loki season 1 was decent, s2 was bad.. that TVA things went too far.
watching now Shrinking (2023) - good family comedy, enjoying a lot.
Hmm.. that was a fab conclusion if there was ever one. Anyways ..
Yep, Apple definitely has overall and consistently better content .. rest are 2-3 hit wonders .. I am waiting for the Season 2 to end before binge watching it. Finished Season 1 long back. Ford kills it.
yes this one - https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/90802-the-sandman
it started with full of awesomeness.. and later went down the drain.
reading book are altogether different experience man, i don't expect anyone to create similar experience.
for example we have seen Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, etc screen adaptation from books... non of them were as good as the book. but still they are so good to watch and re-watch, a good storyline, good presentation, etc.
but modern days movies/TV are just trying to fool people with 3rd grade adaptation, no storytelling, absolutely zero f-ks given to cinematography or presentation, god only know where the budget are going.
there was a norwegian tv series ragnarok, made with 1/10 of the budget. was interesting watch.
watching as they come.. if anything accumulate, i tend to stay awake late night to finish and then spoil my next day

yep, writers/directors hoping to leave their "mark" butcher source material just to prove they are "different", just look at Hissrich and the travesty that's the Witcher series, all that's made me do is make sure I'll never watch any series where she's even remotely involved in.
Though, if you do want cinematography, you can try out non-fiction/documentaries on Netflix, I have been watching Chef's Table and its spin-off Chef's table: Pizza and its been good so far
ah thats a pity, I mainly watch it after a hectic work day, the cinematography is top-notch and the show is just zen, really helps me relax my mind@altair21 i hate those cooking shows

The close up shots of food items in UHD quality will make you take up cooking.
How is Only Murders in the building season 4 on Hotstar, I am looking for Detective work, considering Steve Martin & Martin Short is it comedy like. I have never watched previous versions.
I still somehow like the first one among the four .. I guess the novelty of the concept wore off fast. Among the three, Martin Short is the most delightful to watch. He steals every scene and dialog. Steve is kinda ok, a pale shadow of his former self.

I started to watch ep1,2 of season 4 and it was stale. Based on your views, I watched ep1 of season 1 and ended up binge watching entire season, was really good. Will continue to season 2 afterwards.

Just started and half way into the first episode I like what I'm watching. From 2018 but feels current.
Had caught up with some Clancy movies earlier and missing Jack Ryan.
Hah, this is why I'm so impressed by first episode
Only in an American show can some arab kid in the projects in Paris just know to use 5-0 as a code for cops
