... Karl Urban makes the show.
i've got to watch it- i just have so little time to sit & watch tv. whenever i'm watching these days, it's just to chill and i don't want to be emotionally involved just amused while i wind down.I'm soooo with you. I'm a teacher, and when we were told March 13th we'd be staying home for the foreseeable future my first thought was "SWEET! I can catch up on all the series, movies, and other streaming odds & ends, as well as rewatch some of my favorite older blu-rays & DVD's!"
I avoided watching the Amazon Original, The Boys. From what I heard and saw, it wasn't very good. But I finally got around to watching it and I like it. I like it so much that I'm watching it again. I'm not that fond of the season finale. I don't like cliffhangers. I think each and every season should be a complete and satisfying story. It shouldn't be a teaser for the next season. Especially since eventually there will not be a next season.
I was looking forward to binging season 2 of The Boys this weekend. But Amazon has gone the weekly episode route with season 2. Only the first 3 episodes are up and then a new episode every Friday. I can't remember when Amazon hasn't done a full season at a time.Yeah, "The Mandalorian" kind of 'broke the mold' for streaming services. A friend of mine who's an entertainment writer talked to someone from Amazon who flat-out said they were concerned that their releases, when a full season is released at once, get lots of talk/hype for a week and then is 'forgotten' online (by websites, fan chat, etc). "The Mandalorian" had folks talking about the series well before the premier, and through the Holiday season as they dropped one ep. at a time. Amazon decided to go that route with one of their more popular series to kind of trial how it goes (obviously if the season is not a good one, they'll hear smack about it for the next couple months).
