If you can’t get through the 1st episode of any series then you should just drop it. No need to ask.

If you want to know if it gets better, I personally found it did after the first 2 episodes and then again around episode 5 or 6.

👍

I’m calling it now. Drive my Car wins the Oscar for best picture.

I’m not an action fan so can’t judge. But the 1st episode begins with an extended action sequence. I’d say watch that and decide for yourself.

Yeah the based on a true story tag is misleading. As far as I can tell the only true part is the SK justice system recently started doing jury trials.

Was looking for Pachinko but the closest I can get is Lee Min Ho. Guess it’s not considered an Asian show for some reason?

Maybe mark your comments as a spoiler?

I posted a link earlier to a news story. Netflix has an option in their contract to get a 2nd season. They don’t pay performance bonuses. Instead they reward you by paying a lot of money for the next season.

Knew it was an ad going in. It out a smile on my face. 9/10.

I haven’t seen Squid Game yet but even for shows I love, I don’t normally want a 2nd season. Actually, especially for shows I love I don’t want a second season. It usually just dilutes the quality and spoils the pleasant memory a little bit.

This seems like a good place to post this link. Looks like second seasons are written into the contract for every Netflix show.

I wonder if this was conceived with the end of episode 15as the “real” ending and episode 16 as an alternate ending. They both work but episode 15 seems to fit better. Episode 16 is an epilogue. It loses a bit of the suspenseful energy but does give more insight into Do Hyun Soo’s character.

Based on the poster, I thought this was going to be an easy watch. Maybe a comedy or something.

Thanks. Good to know.

I want to watch this but this thing with the “seasons” is stopping me. Is the story complete or is it unfinished? I don’t want to start something that will never have an ending.

*hope

Lol well I’ll take your word for it. I’m done. For anyone watching it I sincerely home you enjoy it.

A charming movie. I’m going to check out the other projects from this director.

It put me to sleep 3 episodes in a row. That never happens. After that, I dropped it. It was like watching a documentary about cardboard. Totally don’t get the hype.
