1923 is supposed to be good....saw about 90 seconds of clips on FB and now I have to watch it just for the Africa scenes.

Have you watched Man in the High Castle?

I've decided to watch Last Kingdom next.

I love the Last Kingdom. Don't go in expecting historical accuracy, but it is damned entertaining.

I have a degree in ancient history. I never expect historical accuracy. :)

Logged on to specifically recommend that show, just finished it a couple days ago myself... if you enjoyed GoT or Spartacus on Starz, you'll love it

Five seasons, so it'll take you a while to get through it

Yeah -- I like Upload.

I do think they probably need to put a bow on things, though. That's a show that could get REALLY lousy if they don't have a logical end-game in mind and if they have one but it takes too long to get there, the filler would be pretty terrible as well.

If it wraps up in season 4, that's probably perfect. If they go to 5, that might be okay. If it goes beyond that, it'll just be awful.

I'm gonna make a really odd comparison here, but Last Kingdom felt to me a little like Silicon Valley in that every season they seemed to just hit the same beats. Silicon Valley was the same thing every year -- ragtag misfits have idea, idea stalls, they have breakthrough, idea gets stolen by rich guy(s), misfits figure out a workaround and end the season on the precipice of success -- next season it's come apart somehow, rinse and repeat.

I'm not gonna get too spoilery here, but the broad strokes of every season of Last Kingdom seemed awfully similar and Uhtred always seemed to end up about where he started.

I didn't watch the movie -- maybe that would've helped provide an actual path forward for me. But it just felt repetitive after a bit.

Right, but Uhtred getting called assling consistently is wildly hilarious.

The movie is pretty decent. Repetitiveness would be less worrisome than plot armor stuff.

The movie is decent enough. Well worth the time.

Watching Bad Monkey on Apple right now. I didn't care for the narrator at first, but it's grown on me. Vince Vaughan is hilarious in this show.

Yeah its very formulaic at times, but aren't all of these series that way?

They're all basically soap operas for men

Good guy wins
Bad guy wins
A short lived peace is achieved
Bad guy wins
Good guy wins
Rinse and repeat that chorus with plenty of bloody action

When you're finished with Last Kingdom, go to Norsemen for a palette cleanser

Its a send up of shows like LK, currently on episode two of season one now and its showing promise... something like Always Sunny meets GoT
