Watched the first 3 shows of Wheel of Time....odd show casting esp with the Aiel / Tinkers - sort of - well; too early in the series to tell.
I did remember one small part of the story that was modified - but my guess it was done for time versus anything else.
Not one who read the books. Is this something we could follow along with, or be lost. Like the spouse, who never read dune was .Quote:

I've had a few drinks tonight though, which makes me MUCH more forgiving of sloppy entertainment.
Didn't see it mentioned,
Hap and Leonard.
Something to pass the time, 3 seasons. Got through the 1st trying to fend off the turkey.
'News of the World' with Tom Hanks. Good story set in post Civil War Texas.
I couldn't get into it. Perhaps, it's the language they use, not real sure. Turned into background noise.Quote:

The one tiny bright spot is the black kid that plays Jet does a real good job (considering the crap script he was handed) He seems to be the only person involved in the production that even watched the original. That and the Corgi they got to play Ein did a serviceable job.
The writers should have their fingers broken.
Netflix, "Hellbound". Korean series, dubbed. Plot: supernatural creatures are killing people, thought to be sinners. It's an interesting plot, I like the idea. Execution is bad, dubbing is awful, poor acting, slow, not a great script. If it were developed in a different manner it might be interesting. I'm fast forwarding through a lot of it, hoping to avoid the fud. Recommendation: AVOID.
Netflix, "Lost in Space" season-3, coming out Wednesday.
