i always wanted to see this, but never knew how. thanks for the heads up.Justified on Prime Video. Great show. I might have a man crush on Timothy Olyphant, who to me, gives off an Eastwood vibe.
What are you watching via streaming?

One of my faves, Olyphant was really good in The Crazies remake and he’s seriously funny in Santa Clarita Diet.Justified on Prime Video. Great show. I might have a man crush on Timothy Olyphant, who to me, gives off an Eastwood vibe.
So I'm watching Wheel of Time... kinda mixed feelings. I've read all the books (a MAJOR commitment), so I can follow what's going on, though I've forgotten some of the characters/details, there are just so many. But I don't really see how someone who hasn't read these would get much out of it, it would all seem so confusing... dunno. OTOH, I pretty much know which characters turn out to be good and bad, and know where things are going, as it's (so far) mostly following the books' main plot lines, there's not much surprise/anticipation. Well maybe I'll continue with it, I mean it seems reasonably well done overall, so probably still worth watching.
Ive only seen the first one and I liked it.
Im gonna try to check out the rest.
I also read the books. There's definitely a LOT going on left unexplained, but I do believe they are doing well with it.
If you haven't read the books, it would require investment in the show to get the payoff (all the explanations of who/what/when/why) down the line.
If they monologued and explained everything, it would be...too easy and in my opinion, cheesy. As long as the actors and director continue do a good job with it, I think it will be very worth it. The tangled storyline and number of characters and political machinations in the book was...ridiculously complex. So far, I really enjoyed season 1.
As much as they are giving a good slow burn for the overall story, they are also removing/combining a bunch of the storyline in order to make it simpler, because honestly if they didn't...14 books would just be TOO much. I do hope they get more episodes per season going forward though. More time to explain things.
If I remember correctly (I'm sure I don't, but its something like this), books 6-10 or 11 had so many characters moving in circles and covered only a month or two in story time, but pretty deeply explored so many characters and their reasons, deceits and ideas...
I'm sure its been mentioned here, but...I'll say it again since the final season is being released every Friday.
The Expanse on Prime...SOOOOOO GREAT!
Wish they could keep this show going for another 3 seasons. Or 5.
