Is that happening on this subreddit? You might be hanging out in the wrong places if you are noticing people saying stuff like that

Those kind of tv shows still exist and are still airing, maybe you just choose not to watch them

Fuck, what was I thinking while typing that?

It ends on a huge reveal, so one can consider it a cliffhanger. It makes one want to watch the next season though
I watched 3 seasons, I was planning on watching the 4th one, but am not so sure now
The first was great, Harrison Ford Anthony Hopkins was exceptional in it, like truly effortless great acting.
The second was okay but it felt like they were trying too hard to be as good as the first
The 3rd is okay too if you switch your brain off, better than most things on TV. If you like mindless action movies you will like season 3
I feel like I too should be asking if season 4 ends on a cliffhanger so that I should decide whether to watch it

Maybe it's just not for you. I have watched movies and shows before which most people seem to like and I didn't feel the same way
Sometimes a rewatch fixes that issue but most times I just conclude that the problem is with me.
That's why I find it weird when some people say a universally liked movie is bad. If it's universally liked, then there is a higher chance that you are the problem than that the movie is bad

So it becomes better, I last watched the 9th episode of season 3 and I felt it wasn't worth continuing anymore. There were too many episodes and no endgame for me to look forward to.

You are being downvoted but that person just spoiled arguably the biggest twist of The Good Place, I guess it's unlikely that anyone who reads it is likely to watch it

Both Dark and Chernobyl have a similar opening scene, where a character commits suicide. In fact, in Chernobyl it's the main character who does it
And I thought both times it was a great way to start the show, I really wanted to know why they were doing that
Your reaction to that scene is probably because you weren't in the right mindset for such a scene or maybe you personally can't stand anything like that

That is not what I said, I said Game of Thrones is way more popular than all their other shows, I didn't say those other shows weren't popular.

Game of Thrones is another level of popularity compared to the wire, and Stranger Things is another level of popularity compared to House of Cards or Orange is the New Black. That is what Amazon was looking for, the next Game of Thrones

Reply to comment by AbsurdlyClearWater in Opinion | ‘House of the Dragon’ and ‘The Rings of Power’ Both Use Diverse Casting. One of Them Does It Better. by Solid_Rice
>The UK has a lot more south Asians than black people but for some reason they don't get included when talking about "diversity"
UK shows are kinda weird in this way. Blacks make up 3% of the UK population but UK shows make that percentage seem way higher
So I think black actors find it much easier to get roles there than other races. I am not sure if that is negatively affecting some groups of people or not, I guess it can be considered okay because blacks probably found it hard to get roles many years ago

Dude really enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon and was so excited to watch another thing about dragons not knowing what to expect
I too get very hurt whenever people die in shows or movies. There was a death in Breaking Bad that hurt me so badly that I couldn't continue watching it for a while, I was devastated. Game of Thrones was bad too but I was older so could handle it much better
House of the Dragon looks like it is only gonna get worse from here so be ready, I mean, I hope no one I like dies but I don't really see it going that way

Reply to comment by Droncz87 in Is House of the Dragon worth watching? by gildedtunes
If you didn't already know Game of Thrones has huge House of the Dragon spoilers so prepare for that or find ways of skipping the spoilers part if possible

>if not exactly prevailing.
I don't think it's the prevailing sentiment at all. You can even check the IMDb ratings and it's not even close, heck, there are lots of shows rated higher than House of the Dragon, while Game of Thrones was on top for most of it's run
House of the Dragon improves on a lot of things like acting, but I think it feels so good because it is related to Game of Thrones, while Game of Thrones stood on it's own without needing anything to prop it up. Without GOT, Hotd would be considered above average

It's not very active but you can contribute to make it more so
>Currently, we have Interview with the Vampire, Let the Right One In, What We Do in the Shadows and First Kill.
There is also Vampire Academy, I haven't watched it but I read the books so I may binge it when it's done airing

That's not entirely accurate, Thor 3 made more money globally than Thor 4
But 4 was not released in China and Russia unlike 3, so if we ignore those 2 countries, Thor 4 made more money

Reply to "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters
Harrison Ford is known to be very selective of the scripts he accepts, so maybe it's his fault not Hollywood's
I have also seen him in quite a few comedies, mostly romantic comedies, am not sure if those are considered comedy roles or not
