So finally ended the complete series and honestly I really enjoyed the show ...not one single boring or bad episode of any season idk about others but I wished it was a bit more / longer ..series was so good I wanted to see more like proctor dying , Carrie finally living with Lucas etc....unfortunetly not everything we want can be possible . I feel show still ended on a good note .
First thing I thought of lulz
When I was 20 I lived in Huntersville, NC and had an old Honda Shadow I would cruise around on after work. I took this picture in June 2006. Paused the first episode when I saw the SW and CS Davis sign and went and grabbed the framed photo to show my wife. They changed Company Store to Forge for the show but it’s the same building. Guess I have to finish the show for sure now.
Just finished watching this series for the first time and loved it. Picked the show initially just to see more of Antony Starr after the Boys but got completely hooked. Definitively a criminally underrated gem.
However, for some reason S4 felt...off. I'm not saying that I disliked it, I think the quality remained consistent throughout the whole show and that the ending was a well-executed conclusion. However, some of the things that went down like >!Rebecca (one of the most important characters) being murdered off-screen and the season being a murder mystery, the ''government assassin'' backstory and plotline that went nowhere etc.!<as well as the season being 8eps instead of the usual 10.
Again, I don't think it fell off or was bad. Just, anyone who is familliar with the series BTS can maybe explain it? Were they facing cancellation or something? Wrote themselves into a corner?
Spoiler:
I can't stop watching but I hate how characters I like get killed off. Don't get me wrong, that's what makes the writing good. They aren't afraid to kill off a good character, but man does it make me angry to see them die. When Emmett died I couldn't believe it. Such a good person shot dead by such scum. That's when I first got a gut bunch. I knew the writers weren't afraid to throw the audience a punch. Then favorite character of the show, siobham, got her neck snapped I was mortified. I couldn't believe they would kill her. That's when I knew I was in for a rough ride. She was amazing. Then gordan dies, who I wasn't as attached to but I still didn't see it coming. Then starting season four, Rebecca is instantly killed I couldn't believe it. I was invested in seeing how she would take over proctor's business. This show is on par with game of thrones in how you can't expect anyone to live. (slight aside I hate how every bullet ever seems to miss anyone, that is poor writing but oh well)
We are about 8 episodes in season 1. Found this sub and am amazed at the number of people who complain about there being too much sex. When we came across it (no pun intended) we were like “yeah let’s watch an episode or two and see what it’s about.” First episode it started with the Cinemax logo, we are watching on HBO, I looked over at my wife and said, “Well there is going to be a lot of sex and nudity.” We both chuckled.
The point being, complaining about sex in a Cinemax series from 15+/- years ago is pretty much like complaining that there is no nudity or explicit sex in a Hallmark Movie. You already know what you’re getting with both. Or should.
Is it as good as I remember? Who cares, I'm watching this all again.
I love this show, def top 20 of all time but one thing I really hated was Carrie quitting the diner in season 3 without a two weeks notice
I was today years old when I found out Kai Proctor and Clay Burton is based off of Mr Burns and Mr Smithers from Simpsons
Following in Antony Starr's footsteps, I ended up here. My final thought is that, seeing Antony Starr playing the role of a "good guy," he'd nail it in a Star Wars movie in a role similar like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
There was definitely a few times I was like did I miss something big. Oh well I got lucky I was cooking watching the show so I didn’t skip the credits and bam there is more I feel dumb
