im just really happy in my headspace

stressful no, maybe intense. so many good lines you are bombarded with so much info, which is why not recommended to binge

I'm binging it, no problems.. i dont find it either stressfull or too info heavy, it's rather simplistic at its core. Witcher was way, way more difficult to understand, i had to rewatch an entire episode to know what the hell was happening.

I have subs for everything, for Swedish series/movies especially. It's impossible to hear what everyone says, things makes more sense too if you hear something for the first time (a place, product, name etc) and you can also read the word.

Also how Greg manages to really impress Tom in this episode Laughing Wouldn't make much sense to normal humans who aren't scum of the earth - makes total sense here Laughing

...that is indeed the outcome when you stop watching, you watch something else, correct.

Same. Feels like it's not going anywhere. It's worth watching for the acting, but feels so boring.

Feels like treading water, a bit like how i also feel about Better Call Saul.

I think the problem is they're so focused on maintaining a certain atmosphere and feel (because it's so praised for S1), and to do that you can't sacrifice anything and you can't really go anywhere too far either with anything.

It's basically a show to spawn "best actor"-awards, and that gets tiring.

idk what to tell you, you just dont watch this show for the story, its mostly character driven.

seems it spawns more that just "best actor" awards...

i watch it for the characters, writing, comedy and stories (always different, always very intelligently done with interesting / smart twists).

Very different shows overall so it's not really something i would dream of comparing; drama vs comedy, night and day differences.

Deffo the worst of the three seasons but still very enjoyable. I didn’t rate the finale as highly as you lot clearly did, but it gives an interesting story arc for s4 I suppose…

I think one of the things I think was missed in s3 was the extravagance factor; bar the party and helicopters there was no maddog we are loaded type shit, instead it was 100% character development.

I like a little sex, rock and roll once in a while… hope they go back to that in s4
