We just started Grimm on Prime Video and have found it to be entertaining thus far.

Also just started Andor, and have really enjoyed the first 4 episodes.

I think we are 6 episodes in, and the story has been interesting.  But the acting has not exactly been top notch, so I find myself hoping that it only gets better as it is too easy to have bad acting destroy a good story line.

Umm, I ended up liking it overall. I did think early on it seemed on the borderline of a made for network kind of series, but did get better in later episodes.

If you are a lore fan, where Peter Jackson's LOTR movies were even pushing the lore limits, then you will hate this. To say they took liberties with Tolkien's works is an understatement. But if not, probably worth a shot.

There is a bit of 'wokeness' as well (in regards to the lore), but didn't go that far with it for me to stop watching.

Overall I give it a 7/10 at best, though I won't argue with those with harsher criticism. For the most expensive show ever, it didn't come close to what one would expect when they spent 715 million so far on it.

Well Dish gets in disputes with channel providers come contract time. They took my Reds games two years ago (Fox Sports) and now its anything Disney. No more MNF, ESPN is gone. No more Archer, FXX is gone. No more fun nature shows, NatGeo is gone.

But please, continue to charge me $90 a month for the other three channels I actually watch! ?

I’ve watched the first two episodes of The Peripheral and it is so much better than LOTRs.

to stick to what he wrote. I do understand a lot of what Peter did with both the LOTR's and The Hobbit in changing a few things.

I just don't want any woke, so that might irk me a bit. Didn't see any of that early, just black Hobbits which is just fine with me 
and I really like the tree Hobbits and to the contrary of most I think the young lady who plays Galadriel does a great job early in 
the series. I honestly don't know what offends some people now a days lol

BTW, would like to see you more in Jungle Noise Millhouse, miss you there talking Bengals football man.

Umm main reason I don't go in the Noise often, or the boards in general is because of some health issues Ive been having since beginning of last year 2021 (Leukemia & then a bone marrow transplant that summer over a year ago). Needless to say there were many weeks and months where I just wasnt able to or wanting to. But last few months Ive been on the up and up, and will try to pop in more often.
