It's not a genre I read normally but I am enjoying it.I'm loving WOT, never read the books but now I want to .
It is for me, I read the LOTR and Hobbit books about 15 times as a young boy/teenager. I was also a big fan of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and The Chronicles of Amber. I also was a big Heinlein fan in my youth. Sci Fi and Fantasy are my jam!It's not a genre I read normally but I am enjoying it.
Yes, still am.So glad you guys love it. I just finished episode 7. Woo boy.
Muse, you still reading them?
Hawg mentioned that here: Upcoming new showsThis the books or shows thread
not "new" but The Witcher Season 2 starts Dec 17th I hear
I've never played a minute of Halo but looking forward to it as well being a SciFi nut. Visually it looks outstanding, hopefully the story, acting etc is at least decent. I'm looking forward to the Boba Fett series starting at the end of this month too.Just saw the trailer for the long awaited, by many, Halo series based on the universe inhabited by the Master Chief and Cortana of XBox fame.
Looking forward to this one as I find most shows at the moment of little interest.
Didn't read them, have been on my "books to get to" for awhile now.WOT was… okay.
I’m never a fan when a show departs from the original book series. Perrin wasn’t married until late in the series, Morraine didn’t have a romantic relationship with Siuan, etc.
The world is great, and Lan is awesome. Rand is poorly cast, though. He’s way too whiny and weak.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Than they moved it to Paramount plus which is a pay channel which we won't do for now.Mayor of Kingstown - MTV - Watch on Paramount Plus
Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family – power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry.www.paramountplus.com
I saw it because I use Paramount plus for the local CBS station to watch the Pats. 6 bucks a month through Amazon and the only pay station I have. Except of course my 120 bucks a year to Bezos.I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Than they moved it to Paramount plus which is a pay channel which we won't do for now.
If I remember right Amazon prime is going up ito $139. We have other streaming services so hence no Paramount PlusI saw it because I use Paramount plus for the local CBS station to watch the Pats. 6 bucks a month through Amazon and the only pay station I have.

They finally have an actor that physically portrays the character from the book accurately was what I said to the TV.I'm a fan of Lee Child's book series featuring Jack Reacher and have probably read or listened to a dozen or more.
For those unfamiliar, Reacher is an ex-military cop/detective who retired and spends his time traveling the US with the clothes on
his back and walking-around cash. No luggage or credit cards, Reacher is a tumbleweed that follows a whim to visit a place
and inevitably gets in trouble with local scumbags and each small town seems to hide sinister secrets that he is the only person
with the balls, brains and brawn to uncover. Formulaic? Sure they are, but fans of the books don't care. It's a solid formula but
and books seldom seem repetitive to their devotees.
Anyhow, there were several movies done based on the books series starring Tom Cruise as Reacher, which was the worst bit of casting ever
since Jack is 6'5" and Cruise is about 5'6" and a douchebag. The films weren't entirely awful, but they and he did not do the series justice.
However......
Amazon Prime just released a series called "Reacher" and my wife and I got hooked instantly. Way better than the films and the
star, Alan Ritchson makes a very satisfactory Jack Reacher. My wife dreamt last night that she was married to him. He's absolutely
jacked and a giant. It's violent, funny and complex. Plenty of twists and turns, action and a good cast. Season 2 hasn't been announced,
but it's a safe bet to be picked up as it's been very successful.
Little to no politically correct bullshit, either, which is worth noting these days when recommending series on streaming platforms.
