TV
Let me start by saying something slightly controversial. I have never been a big fan of Harrison Ford as I think he is overrated. However, this show puts him where he belongs for everyone else. He was funny, he was emotional, and he was believable. This honestly goes for the rest of the cast as well
TV
Speaking of the story, most of the episodes are stand alone with some small exceptions which allows you to jump in an out. Obviously, the paintball episodes are the best, but there are some really good episodes. Then there are episodes that are absolutely catastrophic.
Movies
My favorite movie series throughout my entire life. There are ups and downs in the series, but I think overall it is 100% still something that needs to be watched. It is also something that pushed the industry forward. Just look how Star Wars was received in 77.
TV
This show has felt like a drawn out drama at times, and others it has felt like a comic book action show with an over the top amount of gore. I am not saying the gore bothers me, I am just saying that amount that is flying off each person as they get hit is about 100x more than it should be.
TV
I didn't like this show. The narrator was awful, the interviews were so wave top that you never felt like you got anything good. It didn't even talk about the book it came from. On of the authors is one of the interviewed people.
TV
I have enjoyed this show. It's gritty and entertaining, but at times super slow. Season 1 was great with a solid single story line. A blind dudes back story about how he became a boss. Simple and clean. A setup for the main villain that most people know from previous movies or the comics.
TV
What a sleeper of a show. I remember it coming out, but never heard anything about it. When my wife and I were looking for a new show, we saw the main cast and thought it would be good. We were dead on. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow are outstanding in their roles.
TV
Most of the middle episodes are beyond fluff. They serve no purpose other than maybe to have a little fight. Typically, what happens in episode 4 through 6 is overwritten later. If you took out episode 1-2, 10, and 19-20, you might have another 3 episodes worth of content
TV
The rest of the cast isn't bad, but I feel like their acting is a little over the top. Everything feels very dramatic when I don't think it should be. I am not mad at Olivia Williams or Emily Watson, but I just feel they are static in their actions. Their younger selves are better cast.
TV
It isn't bad, but it isn't good for adults only. Jude Law does a decent job of play the Dred Pirate Roberts, sorry that is Princess Bride. One-eyed Willy? No, that is The Goonies. Well whatever his name is, Jod or so he says, but I always feel like he was holding back.
TV
My biggest cheers for this are Eddie Redmayne and his language skills and the gun fights. I know that he is just memorizing lines, but he had a decent accent that even my half-deaf ears could hear. The gun fights didn't have a prolonged engagement and all felt very realistic. This is

This is an animated TV show and while I know that in the millennial and beyond generations, those are becoming more popular, I have a hard time paying attention to them. However, this show does something interesting for the first two seasons. The third season is where it falls apart.
