Day of the Jackal
Enjoying the show so far.

It’s frustrating waiting for a whole week for a new episode. What’s the idea of this 1 week new episode? Why don’t they release the whole season once? Or at least just like what Arcane did 3 episodes per week.

FROM season 4 I have to wait more than a year to continue the show aaahhhh

Currently watching Breaking Bad. They say it's the greatest series of all time, but I'm currently at season 2, episode 5, and I'm not convinced yet. It hasn't come close to being one of the greats in fact. It's just there.
Just wait.
OhBritannia(m): 11:40am On Nov 29, 2024
The day of the jackal episode 8 is a solid 9/10 for me
Personally, this is the best episode so far.
This episode opens up and gives you insight on what happened.
The script writing, dialogues and plots are so on point.

The jackal isn't just dangerous, he is a calculating genius in a baddas way.
What happened at the wedding ceremony where they were sent to bring a taliban leader alive.
What his unit did that day influenced the action he took at the last scene of this episode.

I am trying not to drop spoilers but those that have seen the last episode understands what i am driving at.

Lioness season 2 episode 6 is a solid 6.5/10 for me.
Things about to blow out of proportion and it may seems as though the cartel are already a step ahead of them.
And i still believe there is a mole because something doesn't just feel right at all.
The next episode will be very very interesting,
As for Joe, i 100% believe she will survive.

I'm the only one sha ,cos arcane praises here is too much ,but I've slept like 3 different times while watching this season 2 and still on episode 6 . It's not bad but I just feel it's been hyped like way too much by many of you guys

I tried watching Breaking Bad after all the hype nearly got me deaf. Men, the show is too boring and visually poor. I don't think I saw more than two episodes.

As for Arcane, I won't see it because I don't like Anime.

Most of those who hype these boring shows only do so because it was planted in their head by their favourite movie review influencer on social media who must have been paid to do so.

Don't really have any top show this year but the few ones I've enjoyed are:
Rings of Power and Mayor of Kingston
Last airbender
Interview with the Vampire season 1
I watched more of old series than new when the new releases keep on disappointing. Shows like
Virgin river
Prison break
Shameless s5,6,7,8
A man called God
Gu family book
Maybe I'll add penguin to it after watching it sha.
Most disappointing shows
HOTD
Outerbanks...

Thank you. Honestly, I also almost stopped watching after a few episodes in season 1. But I googled to ask when it really gets interesting and they say it starts to peak towards the end of season 2. So that's why I'm still watching it eventhough it seems like every other regular series to me at the moment. I was beginning to doubt what I saw on Google, that's why I just came here to drop my thoughts.
I will try and finish this season 2 and see.


As for Arcane, I will probably see it soon if I have the time. I saw season one this year and it was good.

He's basically talking about the wedding scene.

He was killing for the army, both bad people and innocent people.

He could as well kill for money

In the last scene, he killed his entire unit except his friend.
The reason he killed them was influenced with what happened during the wedding, the team killed off innocent people especially the women with no remorse and even lied to cover it up so that a jet can blow off the remains of the dead bodies.
You can see how his team were jubilating for the war crime they committed.
It was just him and his friend that felt sad for the innocent people and women that were killed.
His team has no human sympathy, they were brutal animals in human form so he thought that killing all of them to escape was a fair game.
They deserved death for what they did during the wedding.

I don't think he necessarily killed good people when he was in the army.
He just went for the bad targets and that's why he is a sniper.

What really changed his mind into leaving and start killing for money was the war crime that his team committed during the wedding and they had no remorse at all..
He killed them off deservedly and left to work privately, atleast in private he won't have to watch his team kill bunch of innocent and happy women.

I don't think him killing them was out of revenge at all.
I don't think he even held anything against them.

He didn't like what they did, but it was the job, hard decisions had to be made...and they had to cover it up.

He was already considering going private before the wedding...
he had already done a private job and was paid well...and the only reason he couldn't do more was because he would have to dessert the army...

The wedding just convinced him that if he had to do shîtty things, it's better if he gets paid well at least.

There's also a theory I'm considering...that killing those men was an order...

He's not much better than his team.
I don't think he did it for any sense of Justice.
Not when he already killed someone for money and considered going private but couldn't just dessert the army

One of the most heartbreaking scenes in TV history. It's been over 8 years, but it still gives me chills whenever I watch it.

Him killing his team wasn't out of revenge per say.
He was out of the notion that they deserved it and like you said, he was already thinking of leaving the army and was probably thinking of other ways to leave with his friend but upon seeing what his team did, he had to go through the brutal way and eliminate his team and saving his friend.
One reason he wasn't even remorseful after he killed them.

And i like your last theory and i am considering it too.
He might have killed them with an order from above.
One of the reasons his files are kept very confidential in the army and people ain't allowed easy access to it.

for example Arcane been your top series for the year so far I feel it's just too much hype
So going by this, any show anybody lists as their top series for the year is getting too much hype?

I stopped watching The Walking Dead because of this..

After that season I just concluded that those guys don't know what they writing anymore.

So many people criticized the show writers' decision to kill off his character, one of which was Rick.

It was so brutal and expectedly so but the character it happened to make it worse. I'll have no problem if it was someone like the Rev'd or Eugene. Stopped watching after Negan was apprehended felt there was no reason to continue the show after almost all my favourite character don die. Glenn, Sasha, and Carl and Rick. Who should I be watching? Rosita? Mahonne? Daryl? Carol? I just rest.
It still retain it's place as one of my top shows sha.

I’ve always talked about how a good motion picture score or soundtrack can elevate the overall experience to an entirely new level. I genuinely appreciate when this aspect of filmmaking is done right.

I finally had time to rinse the Arcane S2 OST, and I have to say, "這樣很好 (Isha’s Song)" by Eason Chan is absolutely the one. Thinking back on that scene, I’d argue that the main reason it resonated so deeply with viewers was largely because of this song.

If you don’t vibe with film or show music, you're missing out as this is an all timer, with some real heavy hitters on there. Honestly, I haven’t come across one this good since Ludwig Göransson cooked with "Oppie" last year.

This is definitely going into my rotation for the foreseeable future. Just incredible stuff. 👌🏿

Silo

The actor that played Solo, did a marvelous job with his eyes. He expressed so much with his eyes in these episodes before the big reveal.

As for The Judge Meadows, I don't know how to explain it, but she speaks in cursive. I initially thought maybe it was cause of her role in Rings of Power, but even in this series.

Come, all these producers should behave this season oh, they shouldn't drag Juliette's return to the last episode of this season (but that's what I anticipate they will do).
That's the way she speaks oo, if you've watched A Discovery of Witches, you'll see it's same. She has this crazy British accent.

From SEASON 3

It seems the writer of this show wants to make sure it gets to season 10, because wtf!!....It took them 3 seasons to make a major revelation in episode 10. It would probably take them additional 3 or 4 more episodes to drop another major revelation and frankly speaking I wouldn't be surprised if they never ever get to go home.

The story just kept running around in circles and the characters kept beating around the bush . Call it story arc but those flesh eaters I'm surprised no one ever tried to cut them with an axe, Cutlass or even burn them. Even when I thought Kenny was going to burn em all, the writers had to stop it.

Well Season 3E10 was a bait, it caught me and I'm definitely seeing Season 4.
when Boyd injected SMILEY with the worm in his blood? Guess who got reborn in the last episode, "drumrolls" SMILEY again! They're immortals, they don't die.

Some people say Ethan is the man in yellow as he knows the story right from the start, the last scene where Jim was killed is a future that hasn't happened yet, Julie is a Storywalker, and she'll learn how to walk into the future.

Many conspiracy theories full this FROM
