TV
This is a very slow open show. It does take at least 2 episodes to really be interested and what keeps you involved is just the premise of the show and Renner. This feeling is the same for each season. The episodes are slow in general, but the first couple for each season as just REALLY slow.

I know that people are mad about this show because it doesn't match The Samerillion or something along those lines. I haven't read any of the books. I tried once in middle/high school and just got lost in the descriptions. I will give it an attempt in the next decade or so.
TV
Holy crap. I did not expect this show to be this good. I also didn't realize that the entire season is just one shift. That was an awesome way to present the season and allow them to roll from one episode to the next. Super smart thought process there.
TV
This pattern repeats itself up to the final episode where she makes the dumbest bargan of her life. Because she is selfish. She isn't a hero, she is the sociopathic "victim" that we all hate about Karens. Oh yeah, did I mention that she is a murderer? Cold-blooded.
TV
I can't tell you how much I detest the ex-wife. She is annoying, manipulative, whiney, and downright atrocious that her scenes are almost unbearable. She is also a terrible influence on her daughter. That aside, that really is my chief complaint about the story.
Movies
This was one of the first DVDs that we owned in my family and I remember saying that only DVDs I was going to own was this and U-571. Granted, Blu-ray and streaming came, but I still do keep a copy of this.

Actually, I was thinking about that during this movie. We learned a lot during COVID, and maybe the game Virus Inc. about the infection rate vs. death rate of a virus. Since this is so quick to infect, but easy to treat and can kill the host, why doesn't it just burn itself out?
Movies
The idea of it being "Rage" for sure allowed them to be very graphic in their death, but it's the random movements that get to you the most. For instance when Cillian Murphy goes inside the church and the priest comes after him and the piles of bodies just pops up one at a time… that just gets you.
Movies
The setting is so good. There is also so much cool technology and learning that you get just through osmosis. I mean, a 4-day decompression is absolutely crazy. I know that you need 2 10-minute hold sessions when you dive at 100 feet, but 4 days? Not only that, but I really want to see the math
Movies
This movie is only like an hour long because it was an HBO special feature at the beginning of draw down from Afghanistan. Kevin Bacon is outstanding in this and does a great job and honestly is the only real character.
TV
Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham are absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I think every single person really does an incredible job of growing into their roles. Between seasons there is some amazing character growth and I wish more shows and movies put this much effort into it.
TV
I tried. I tried to watch this show and I just couldn't finish it. I have been watching this for a couple of years and the only way I kept moving forward was because I didn't want to watch the same show in a press as the TV was running in the background.
