The back door pilot where they introduced her was abysmal. She was just so badly written and over-acted that it was a huge missed opportunity. I downloaded S01E01, looked at the score on IMDB and hit delete.

I'm really not bothered about watching House of The Dragon. I figured I'd leave it until after Rings of Power, but I still can't be arsed with it

I’m loving House of the Dragon. Great acting, complex characters, gorgeous sets, makeup and costumes, CG is excellent and the development between the characters is fascinating (albeit it now feels like a setup for seasons to come).

Rings of Power however. Fuck me. One dimensional characters, one dimensional baddies, some awful acting/actors, stiff dialogue, glacial pacing, no drama, no excitement, little in the way of story so far. 6 (or is it 7) hours of TV and it’s had a thirty minute battle that wasn’t very good. The monumental budget has absolutely been fucking squandered somewhere and it certainly hasn’t been on the things that actually matters.

I too am enjoying HotD. It's infinitely less bewildering than GoT was (as someone who had never read it). Acting is generally very good (aside from Nu Rhaenyr and Laenor) who are both a bit crap and camp (and the latter features in the new series of Ghosts, I noticed). It has characters doing generally interesting things that aren't also very stupid things. Also feels less needlessly salacious than GoT was, which is A Good Thing In My Opinion.

....more kitchen sink glimpse into the lives of ordinary dragon riders.

Just remembered that but where nu-Gandalf says “I. AM… GOOOD”.

Quality TV.

The Terminal List has Chris Pratt as a slightly unconvincing tough Navy SEAL, with some trauma and a big old bonk on the old noggin having scrambled his mind a bit.

Could be interesting to see if it's all in his head (of course it won't be though, it will be some shady underworld illuminati shit that he will get to the bottom of and be totally vindicated only to realise how much further up to the top it goes and FIND OUT MORE IN SEASON 2)

Blockbuster, from someone associated with Brooklyn nine-nine but without any of the zing or the zazz or the zhoush....

Just so totally mehhhhhhhhhhhh.

Caught up with the rest of the world and watched Wednesday.

It was ok.

Wednesday’s performance is all one note. It just gets a bit stale by episode 4, and though you might say there are subtle nuances that come through they are too subtle to be redeeming.

Enid is clearly the main character. She’s great. Enid spin off show, please.

I’m not convinced by Catherine Zeta Jones as Morticia, which is such a shame as I adore her and was 100% ready for it to be brilliant. It’s terrible to say, but HD TV gets in the way of what would have been Hollywood glamour as the make up is so thick and Cakey.

I’m pretty sure anyone my age must be thinking ‘Fairuza Balk would have absolutely NAILED Wednesday’s role in the 90s’.

I didn’t hate it as much as I hate a lot of recent-ish Tim Burton stuff, but that’s because neither Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter were in it. Not that I dislike Helena B C, but Tim Burton makes her boring.

Other than that it’s silly TV that passes the time with a bit of fun.

I loved it. My only real complaint was that they managed to make Luiz Guzman really greasy and unpleasant, where as I always associate Gomez as being classy and dashing, as Raul Julia portrayed him

Extraordinary (Disney+) is a decent sitcom about a lady that doesn't have superpowers in a world where everyone else does. It's 8 episodes and a good way to spend some time.

One series of the Legend of Vox Machina is 6 hours of TV cut down from around 100 hours of play. It's a daunting task as while what they've done is impressive, I just think turning it into an animated series is a close to impossible task
