Just finished up the show, Colin Farrell was spectacular as an actor, but the wahmaning, victim writing, and poor story structure sucked the life out of the otherwise genuinely good parts. I don’t know if it was the female showrunner or writers or what, but you could have entirely removed the female “rival (but secret actual main character)” from the entire series and the show would have drastically improved. They had gold with a Colin Farrell playing Tony soprano trying to scumbag his way to the top and nearly half the series episodes instead revolve around a girl boss “finding herself” after being a victim. It’s so fucking tiresome anymore that something can be a solid 7-8 tv show if you just completely remove half of it because it’s female victim porn.

There's so many shows like that. Like I don't watch the last season of Netflix Voltron, and feel no reason to do so. They actually finished the story in the previous season and I don't see why they need to continue.
I'll even watch Scrappy Doo to complete my watching of all the scoobies. That said, I stopped on one movie and haven't finished it. Velma had a girl crush on a Latina villain and it was awful. Scooby had problems because Blue Falcon was a bit of a joke.
Stranger Things Season 3 and one episode of season 2 are so bad I tend to just skip them. Which is sad because the third season has a giant flesh monster.
I hear Mandolorean had shows beyond season 2. Good to know right?
More than three star wars movies?
More than one Matrix movie?
That'd be a horrible timeline to live in.
