Quote from: tbrick18 on December 17, 2024, 09:55:23 AMWatched the final episode of Yellowstone last night, pretty much as expected and it did close off each story line.
In general, this last season has been a bit of a let down though.


I'd say every one in it hates Costner as they're all now out of a job.

Surely it was on its last legs regardless of Costner. One could say that Sheridan ran out storylines for it about 4.5 seasons ago.
He could have carried another 2 seasons.

Yellowstone ended as expected. As much as a happy ever after that there could be. Final seasons just ok but still good enough.

The Agency on Prime is enjoyable and is our new weekly.

Slow Horses is brilliant if anyone hasn't watched it yet

This is the American remake of The Bureau. If it's even 10% as good as it it's worth sticking with.

Haven't seen the Bureau but will put it on the list.

Le Bureau des Legendes. It'll be one of the best things you've ever watched in your life.

Really enjoyed the Wallace and Gromit special and Gavin and Stacey was a great way to end the day!

Yes enjoyed both. I'd never usually watch Wallace and Gromit but the father in law was on rotation at ours today and he bloody loves it.

I fell asleep during Wallace and Gromit  so I'll have to  try and see that again sometime. Gavin and Stacey, I thought was  awful.  It was so predictable, wheeling out  old characters/storylines and  tired catchphrases . It  reeked of a carry on movie at times

Think that was the whole idea of it tbh, I really enjoyed it.

Meh, I dunno .  It was all very  forced and predictable. (By the way, the only  sitcom where  catchphrases never got tired was Allo Allo. )

The stag night scene where they realised the clubs were full of  youngsters, and they  were beyond  the age for the foam party  was sort of a metaphor  for this finale. ie. it's way past it's sell by date.

Spoiler

That bus chase  was all a very Carry On slapstick scene . All that  was missing was  a hearty Sid James  laugh and a "oooh Matron!" gag

Really enjoyed both Wallace and Gromit and Gavin and Stacey.

Milltown Row2

Loving the second series of Squid Games
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.
