    I want Jon Targaryen to stop not knowing nothing and kick some ass.

    I want Saucy Moanister to get her ass kicked somehow.

    I want moar gratuitous sex scenes.

    Make HBO great again.

    The hound and the zombie dragon are the only characters left that I like.

    You can go back to the first season and watch Fire and Aquaman.

    It's a great show but a bit predictable in the way it the world constantly fucks anyone doing anything too good. The gratuitous sex scenes were to get people talking about it, but now all the main actors are probably refusing to do them and they can't replace them at this point because the story and faces are too established.

    Also, Breaking bad is absolutely incredible. Better call Saul is pretty good too but not on the same level.

    One trainwreck is The Walking Dead, which I loved for a long time and would watch religiously, but the last few seasons the show has been so drawn out, repetitive and utterly predictable that I couldn't watch the latest season. When my buddy told me all the "juicy spoilers" I wasn't surprised at all that it was just more of the same bullshit. The "side character becomes main character for entire episode complete with look back on their past life so they are definitely going to die soon" thing really ruined the show for me. Very disappointed in this one.

    I used to love walking dead too, but agreed, so f'ing predictable, drawn out, and repetitive. Sad actually.

    When they had people hiding behind corrugated steel siding/roofing strapped to cars to stop rifle rounds (which would go right through that shit like paper), and in the same scene they have 30+ people shooting fully automatic weapons for 20 minutes straight with no on-screen reloads (not to mention the insane waste of ammo, only like 5 people actually got shot), that was the final straw for me.

    They ruined that show for sure. It had a tremendous following at one point, but each season looked like the last. I know a lot of people stopped watching.

    I've never seen an episode of Breaking Bad, West World, The Walking Dead, Dexter, Sopranos, Lost, The Shield and probably a few others. I had never seen an Episode of GoT until after season 5 when I spent a week sick in bed and smashed the first 60(?) episodes up to that point.

    I followed Madmen. I gave House of Cards a shot and found it to be ridiculous.

    Zombies have always been one of my fave genres and I've seen all the movies - Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Survival of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, Evil Dead, World War Z....and many more.

    Naturally I loved TWD when it came out, and I watched it faithfully for many seasons. When Negan killed Glen and Abraham was kind of a turning point for me. I realized I was not really enjoying the show anymore, and that is kinda the whole point of watching. By now it has gotten long past it's best before date IMHO. If you still love it, fine by me. I've moved on.

    Same deal with Fear the Walking Dead. - overkill (no pun intended). I did watch Z Nation for a while. It does not take itself nearly so seriously.

    The talking dead... tbh most tv shows are starting to bore me these days. Luckily i've really been getting back into reading lately. Can't f**k around with your phone when reading, nor do i want to.

    I've read a ton of books over the last 6 months too. Normally I buy hard cover books but have been buying on Google play books. Currently reading Brad Thor series about a former navy seal and secret service agents. About 20 books in the series, I'm on book 5 or 6.

    WestWorld was definitely one of the better series I've seen. Season 1 was phenomenal.

    Im still... Mentally digesting whatever the hell it was that happened in season 2.

    Interesting, i'll keep them in mind. I've been reading the Expanse books since the show was canceled. Currently on the 4th one, really entertaining books.

    It's great the Expanse found a new home for at least one season.

    I love reading books and watching movies. I used to like reading the books first then the movie, but I switched it around. Now, when I read the book after watching the movies, I see the characters better in my head.

    I bought the divergent series last week, as I really enjoyed the movies. Disappointed that they aren't finishig the series, which was the main reason I purchased the books, I want to know the ending.

    @Riotvan the first book is called the lions of Lucerne. Google play and kindle/Amazon is great for books, you can download a sample and it's usual enough to have an idea if you'd like the book or not. If you like thrillers about black ops, espionage, cia, etc., check out the Gray Man series. I absolutely loved those books. I'll dig up the author, but they were well done and very enjoyable.
