JokersWild24 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Have just watched through Season 3 and think it's been underwhelming. Do things pick up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It isn't a particularly fast paced show. It just sort of is what it is. There are some exciting moments, but for the most part it's just excellent in character development. I don't think it's a show for everyone.

rockmom Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Absolutely the show I miss most of all the shows that have run their course in my lifetime. As Hangman says, it's not for everyone. But the layers of the characters are absolutely fascinating, making you empathetic to some characters you just never could imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I can remember watching some episodes and wondering where the entertainment was. And then, as the credits rolled, I couldn't wait to watch another. It was an odd feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then, as the credits rolled, I couldn't wait to watch another. It was an odd feeling. And I loved it all, was very entertained. There is just something so perfectly flawed and human in every characther...yet they were the "rich" and "powerful". The show was such a great example that perception is NOT reality.

JokersWild24 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 It just seems really, really predictable in a lot of ways. No suspense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Story line gets better as it goes along...but as stated it is not for everyone. It took me a few years to get enough interest to ever start watching and stick with it. But the characters got me hooked, I loved them...even the ones I couldn't stand.

Devil4Life33 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Season 5 is my favorite as many new characters are introduced and I power struggle ensues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackle trap Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Best Movie channel show of all time. It's gets better season 4 was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getslow Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's one of the few shows ever that gets better every season. No doubt that the pacing can be killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Best Movie channel show of all time. It's gets better season 4 was great. There was one dud season towards the end, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getslow Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 There was one dud season towards the end, imo. Completely disagree. The dud storylines are early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil4Life33 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 There was one dud season towards the end, imo. I agree that big parts of Season 6A were terrible. I did not like the Vito storyline taking up so much of that season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Best Movie channel show of all time. It's gets better season 4 was great. Give me "The Wire" over "The Sopranos" any day. But I loved both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It just seems really, really predictable in a lot of ways. No suspense. Don't watch it for the suspense, it's not that kind of show. It's all about character development and learning to like/dislike characters. More like reading a book than just watching a show. Hope this helps. I know you requested a no-spoiler thread, but I gotta give you a big one. The series ends with "Don't Stop Believin," playing and the whole world decides the song is cool for the next 10 years. As a fellow A's fan, I just thought I should give you a heads up (Journey is from Oakland after all). Of course, if you didn't already know this spoiler you were living someplace more like San Mars than San Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
