That is a dilemma, if you're all caught up on Space SF there's really only Lower Decks right now and it's a sit-com... on the plus side Invasion starts on the 22nd and it might be good  paisley1 wrote:The Flash was a poor man's Smallville, popular opinion, I know... /s

Off-topic, discuss that here: https://forum.next-episode.net/viewtopic.php?id=10023
lighton, that link didn't take me to paisley1's post/question... not sure if it was deleted but could fin it on that string  That being said I have been posting my month's viewing lists at https://forum.next-episode.net/viewtopic.php?id=9857 after I saw a few other members like you (paisley1), kurschnextepisode & g371 doing so. Feel free to check it out or, better yet, add you own again

I agree, it's been a bit quiet lately despite there being quite a lot of series coming out!?
paisley1 has chosen to not post there. Yes, over summer people didn't feel like posting much here.

The trailer is funny, never heard of the show. P.S.: When you recommend the show page https://next-episode.net/the-great directly, everyone reading your post doesn't have to search for the show.

AKA Cloud Atlas. Is it a mess or is it ingenious?
Well, Cloud Atlas was a bit of a mess, but a wonderful one! <3
Speaking as someone who read the book, I'm not sure if y'all have, but I HATED the movie... soooooo much!

Hehe... was it because it didn't align with what you imagined when reading the book? That can (more or less) ruin a movie for you...

That was a huge part of it but the book is so nuances... you would peal away section of it like an onion and the movie just couldn't capture that experience. Though, to be fair, it's a very difficult book to adapt (in my opinion).

@Fizza Cloud Atlas, the movie, I found to be quotable, scenic, and inspiring, but an uneven mess in the edit. Mixed bag. I have a Barney Stinson challenge for everyone, watch all of "How I met your Father". Good luck. So Bad. 32% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Re: merc and TheFizza's off-topic discussion thread
The commercials on Spotify for it are just brutal, but having not watched HIMYMother I wasn't sure if it was any worse than its predecessor. If you're in the market for a good comedy though, https://next-episode.net/after-life just finished its final season and is quality throughout. Decidedly not-PG though.

How I Met Your Mother is a legacy classic that begs repeat viewing; very funny. After Life? Ok. After I'm finished with Condor, spy thriller gem, can't believe I missed it, but glad I did so I can watch it now.
