mrags Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Show starts tonight. Anyone super excited? Im interested and will watch but I feel it won’t be as good as SOA. However, the ending and the entire final season of SOA was terrible. The 2nd last season wasn’t that good either. Was more of the same old stuff every week. So I’m hoping this show redeems a little.

Fadingpain Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I had no idea what any of this was about so just read up on it, quickly, as I'm always looking for good new TV shows. Honestly, though, the concept doesn't interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I really don't know what to expect out of this one. For some reason I thought they were doing a prequel, but now I see that isn't the case for this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have we seen that before? Television is definitely running out of ideas with this and reboot of Magnum PI. I liked the original Magnum but you need the balance that John Hillerman brought and the promos do not give much confidence that will happen. I'd rather reboot Gomer Pyle, USMC or the British Keeping Up Appearances. Anyhow, if you were ripping on Trump about stereotypes then the Mayans will do very little to alter perceptions. Sutter got paid and until the show proves otherwise that is what it is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 They need to do something besides rehash the same SOA plot devices - otherwise it'll die on the vine. My hot take is that the main character is a CIA agent. (as a continuation of the CIA plot line from SOA.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'll check it out, but my expectations are low. I watched SOA, which had some good seasons, but my feeling of the series overall is it was just ok. It relied too much on shock value gore porn and by the last season I didn't like or care about any of the characters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't finish the scene either. It's not being a lightweight, most don't want to watch that s#!t but they continue to force that depravity upon us just to see how vile we can become.

/dev/null Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I didn't watch it but I did see an ad for a review that had a picture of the SoA cameo and speculated what that cameo means. Spoiler alert who that was and why I think that character showed up. The SoA cameo was Gemma. Gemma is played by Katy Sagal. Katy Sagal is married to Kurt Sutter. Sutter has a history of writing his wife into his shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Then this series or at least that episode is a prequel to the last two episodes of SOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
