I just finished Godless. Decent but filled with way too many cliches of the western genre.
It wouldnt be the Punisher without blood and gore.
Then again, the many times he was shot and beaten up is a little unrealistic. He should have been permanently disabled by all that by the end of the series lol.
I pretty much agree. As I said, it was “decent”. Jeff Daniels’ character was a little confusing at times. For a psychopath his moral compass seemed to flip from time to time. Michelle Dockery did shed her “Downton Abby” character, but was a little too refined for the lifestyle.
There’s been few movies (old west type) that I’ve found to to exceptional. I grew up at a time with westerns that were the only thing at theatres and TV. The plots were indistinguishable. The clothing was almost dude ranch resort like. Women looked like they had their hair, makeup, and nails done at a Macy’s makeover counter.
I’m a “Once Upon a Time in the West” fan. Well, I am basically a Spaghetti Western fan.
Truly good westerns are rare.
We’re about 2/3rd through “The Night Manager”. It’s pretty good. It’s about a plot to bring down an illegal arms merchant in Europe. It’s only 6 episodes.
We watched a fun, pretty clever Australian series, “The Rake”. It’s about an attorney who is seriously prone to find himself involved in every self-destructive situation possible.
We saw a couple of season of “Fortitude”. Fortitude is a town in the Arctic. It’s a who done it series. The characters change a little in each of the seasons. I think that there’ll be a third season out soon. It was pretty good.
On the top of our watch list is a 3 season series titled “Mozart in the Jungle”. Very well done. The characters really pull you in.
I resisted watching Game of Thrones for the longest. My wife wouldn’t watch it. Her friends told her it was too violent. I started watching it on HBO GO after she went to sleep - and I binged watch 7 seasons. I lost a few nights sleep. The final season won’t hit until 2019. Bummer. :lol:
We don’t watch too much network stuff, Roku is da boom. That’s about it for now.
Oh, I’m going to start “Punisher” after “Night Manager”. I have to watch it after my wife goes night night.
Let me know if you get into anything else.
