CitizenVectron Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I wonder how they'll handle re-casting or killing off Alex. Considering the next book after this season...there is an opportunity, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbobo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Looking forward to it, hopefully it is better than season 4 which I found to the weakest so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally crazy comparison but I really hope it takes awhile to pay off that arc so that it’s as earned and lands as hard as the end of the Alfred arc in Last Kingdom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 So "The Critical Drinker" just uploaded this... ...and it does sound interesting on premise alone. Then I find that it's free on Prime, so I am about to blast off into the unknown regions of space to explore a brand new show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I'll say is if you're not feeling it after the first few episodes just push through to the end of the first season. It took me two tries to get into the show and I think it's because the first time around the first few episodes of season 1 gave me a very inaccurate impression of what the show was going to be like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you mentioned that as it seemed to be stalling there JUST a bit, but I will absolutely persevere & push through as I have genuinely heard nothing but the best about this show the more I have looked into it.

Greatoneshere Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Season 1 is easily the weakest season, and the second half of that one gets good. But it's really season 2 where it comes into its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got about half way through the first season and dropped it. People kept telling me to keep with it, so I came back months later and did and boy am I glad I did. Also the last episode was pretty great. Dat ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's less that the first season is weak and more just that...I think I thought it was going to be, like, a near-future sci-fi cop procedural + Earth political intrigue show or something. But then the story opens up at the end of the season and I got hooked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 5 episodes in and I see how it is absolutely world building & setting up intrigue and the like, but it does is SO subtlety, almost as though the pieces shift into their slots so innocuously and then the callbacks are almost brought forth as moot as they continue to morph & evolve. When compared to so many "beat it over your head" tropes of story telling, this is invigorating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No misconduct or anything that I'm aware of, but apparently a lot of people really didn't like the recast Arjun to the point where they didn't initially realize it was supposed to be Arjuan. Not looking like the original actor is whatever and that's not what I saw was complaining about, I've seen criticism of the way he was portrayed changing heavily--loving father and doting husband to seeming like he was her stone-cold political advisor. If the showrunners agreed that it didn't really work out then this was a natural opportunity to just kill the character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on a series of books written by the show runners. I've avoided knowing what's in them, but through the first 4 seasons, I've heard that they're pretty true to the books. TBH, I've enjoyed this season the least of all the ones that I have watched. It's still good -- but I thought season 2-4 were excellent.

I’m going to have to take this advice, I guess. I shelved the showed after a few episodes. I wanted to like it, but was just not feeling it. I meant to go back, but never felt very drawn back to it. my dad loved it though. I guess I’ll need to give it another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I actually feel this has been an extremely strong season. I liked season 4, but it always felt like a contained side story as opposed to moving the main plotlines along. Either way, excited for the season finale and then season 6 (which will adapt book 6).

Greatoneshere Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Fuck that was a great season finale. Very much looking forward to the final season, season 6. Spoiler Such a shame that there will be no Alex Kamal in season 6, despite him being very much alive in book 6, only because the actor who plays him Cas Anvar was a dumbass and a shithead. Ah well. The transition was handled very well though, as was his death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It’s neck and neck between 2 and 5 for me for my favorite. That was fantastic. I think I’m going to get my wife in on watching it before season 6 comes out. She has seen some but never really got into it. That needs to change!

Did they bring people in for reshoots, or did they already know that he MAY be fired during filming pending their investigation, and shoot alternate versions of the episode post-rescue in order to hedge their bets?
