Tom Cruise nailed the character better than Ritchson, outside of his size. The series was hindered by Ritchson's wooden performance, the senseless plot, a terrible New England accent by the female lead, and horribly written dialogue. Other than that it's top notch content compared to most of the rest of what's available on Prime.
I just thought the ending of Season 2 was stupid and soured my opinion of the entire season. I was really excited to see the final fight happen in Season 3 though I thought Anthony Michael Hall was horrible. Regardless Season 1 was great and it has been downhill since. At least the dialogue has been better in the show than in the books. Good god Child cannot write dialogue.
The ending of all the seasons certainly feel like we ventured heavily into 80s/90s action flick territory. But considering the source material and the target audience of those books, it's not really all that surprising.
That accent almost made me stop in the 1st episode. The season was meh, at best.
I am struggling to get through 1883. I like the characters ok, but the pace of the story seems slow. I personally liked Yellowstone better.
That's kind of what he's done for the second season of 1923. The first six episodes have been pretty slow and now there's a ton to tie up in the finale. Even if the finale is over two hours like they're saying it is, there's still a lot.
But even on those 20+ there were plenty of just filler episodes.
Funny thing about that. I was watching an episode and my wife walked through the room. She stopped and asked "what the hell kind of accent is that supposed to be?"
A Brit trying to do a Noreasterner accent. Not one they are very good at apparently.
Glad someone else enjoyed it! Still trying to get the rest of my family to watch it.
It's not her fault...why even bother with that accent? And, if they felt it was necessary, why not hire somebody who can do it? It makes zero sense.
If you thought it was just about some teasing and emoji’s…. you missed the point. A lot more involved.
