I’ve been watching Clarksons Farm. I loved Top Gear and seeing Jeremy Clarkson again got me to watch. Then I got interested as I watched. I found it entertaining and informative. While it. Is reality tv with the attendant contrived situations, I have learned some interesting things like moisture content in the harvest grain and tram lines planting the fields. I also found the watching of how the different tractor attachments work. His exasperation with all the laws/rules/regulations was amusing. I’m sure some of it was for effect.
If you haven’t watched, give it a try.
Love it! Having been raised on a US farm in the 60-70's some of the things he has to put up with are jaw dropping to me.

Can’t blame the typecast. I’m sure the paychecks are nice!

I have no interest based on all I have heard and read....

The 1987 original was better even if this one stuck closer to the Stephen King book it was based on.
The remake from last year turned out to be a totally wasted effort. It was largely panned by critics and it was a financial flop.

NASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found.
What worked in Armageddon was the casting. That cast had great chemistry. As far as the plot goes? Just leave your brain at the front door and you’ll be fine.

I never saw it but I heard that “The Acolyte” was chock full of woke nonsense.

I'm speechless. This was the best show I've seen in two or three years, easily. I did not want the series to end. I'm sad. I want more Utred, the ultimate medieval badass good guy.
I may change my mind, but because I'm wanting to already watch the series again, until I solidify a better rating, I must give this show four out of four stars. Tops. Better than Vikings, on par with Game of Thrones, but in different ways.
The character development wasn't as strong for a lot of the secondary characters, however the plot was interesting, the medieval battles and fight scenes are easily the best ever choreographed for film. They are brutal, dirty, muddy, bloody, you feel the pain and agony of the warriors as they trade blows and fight for their lives. Honestly there's not even many movies that have done medieval battles better than this show, and they did not lean on CGI, at all.
If you want top tier television, you cannot go wrong.
I am now despondent and torn. I know not what to watch next, that is a minimum of five seasons long. The odds of finding anything close to this good are low.
Watching “ Bar Rescue “. Really like that show with Jon Taffer, especially the mixologists he brings on as his experts. Love looking at Lisa Marie Joyce and Mia Mastroianni. Taffer is real, pulls no punches and tells it like it is.
