Bookmark this post. He will be this year's 'Sexiest Man Alive'. He is so endearing, and talented, and funny, and yes incredibly attractive and is having himself quite a year.
He's got to be one of the biggest stars of today, and whats funny is he has done it mostly through television series. I haven't seen Massive Talent yet, and I know he plays a big role in that, but has he had any other big movies? Anything that comes close to Last of Us, Mando, and GoT? Could include Narcos to a lesser degree.

100% on this. I cannot re-live another good series being drug down by a whiny, bratty kid/early teen. And I get that they are playing up that personality trait to create friction/drama and show her immaturity, but come on. We don't need it playing out in every scene where someone isn't trying to kill them.
I haven't played the games but I think you're going to see a lot of growth from her. Born and raised in a very insulated world. She's started to see some things and had to do what she did in last night's episode.

Big shows...not big movies really. I guess the Wonder Woman sequel would be his biggest maybe? The Netflix movie The Bubble was so panned but I thought it was actually pretty funny and he's a riot in it.

Also, don't forget THIS week's new episode will be available on HBO Max starting Friday night! Smart move as they'd be going against the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Why would a streaming service care when new material debuts? The Super Bowl being Sunday has nothing to do with the viewership of a program you can watch at any time. It isn't like the 1970's when a show appeared once at it's scheduled time and if you missed it you missed out.

Because with their Sunday night release, it still gives the same fan following that the linear cable network had. It's part of the appeal to have one episode drop per week at a certain time. It allows for discussion and podcasts and a following rather than "hey you should watch this show" that you get with dumping a whole season at once.

I don't think it did well at the box office, sorry to say, but Massive Talent is 'effin hilarious, and he's great in it.

Yep, it was so cheesy that it was hilarious. He and Cage were great.

I saw on the preview some massive zombie. I'm guessing that's what was coming up from the ground in the most recent episode that Kathleen seemed not too worried about.

Same. Never finished TWD because of this. Just got zombie fatigue.
I quit it when every episode was boring poorly staged machine gun shootouts between groups of people. Got really boring. The zombies were way more interesting than what it became.

What are you watching? She’s not whiny or bratty at all. She’s pretty funny and adapting well and quickly.

He was a big get for Wonder Woman 1984, but the character was played for laughs and was written poorly which isn't his fault.

Outstanding series so far. Bill's character makes me want to drink wine more often.

Guessing you haven't gotten to know too many early teens. That's how they are. All of them. Including you and me. Most grow out of it thank god.
