Will it feature a protagonist that gets less airtime to flesh out secondary characters again? That was the biggest problem with the original Witcher show. I hated that.
The first season was certainly the strongest - because it really connected with people, blending actual history with divergent paths. As a space buff, it was bittersweet.As a whole I enjoyed the program, though I'd say the first series was by far the strongest, at least for me.
For All Mankind, but I haven't watched it (yet).Aside from Man in the High Castle, what are some other shows that tried to blend recent history with alternate history?
Counterpart? It took place in the present, but with a history that diverged in 1987 due to some experiments in East Germany. One of the very best series on TV in recent years imo, but it got cancelled after 2 seasons and didn't get a real ending. Still worth watching.The first season was certainly the strongest - because it really connected with people, blending actual history with divergent paths. As a space buff, it was bittersweet.
The second season (honestly not sure if I've watched the third), started going into more typical melodramatic character arcs more common in the annals of TV.

I see it now, how embarrassing. Well, that closes the loop I guess.For All Mankind was the one he had been discussing to begin with
I think that would be pointless at this stage anyways.It's pretty certain TWD will not introduce another great antagonist like Negan.
Yeah, that whole menacing group wrapped up in a couple of episodes and now, on ep 11, it seems we're going in a different direction. I think I know what they're going for, but it's kind of uninspired and rehashed. But still sufficiently entertaining to not just abandon, being so close to being done with it.I think that would be pointless at this stage anyways.
I was watching an interview with Harry Enfield yesterday where he mentioned that. I'll have to look out for it.Probably only of interest to folks in the UK, or longterm watchers of our telly. Harry and Paul have done a silly spoof documentary in the style of Adam Curtis, on 100 years of the BBC. It's called The Love Box in Your Living Room, and is the funniest thing I've seen for a while.
