For me, the purpose of streaming something is to be entertained. So many things that are produced in recent years have an angle, push a narrative, virtue signal, etc, to the point that the entertainment value suffers. Prison Break is straight entertainment which made it a really enjoyable series to watch. You have to be willing to overlook some things being "unrealistic" and accept that the guys are going to miraculously escape situations that there doesn't seem to be ways out of quite frequently. There's an element of "silliness" involved, but that's also part of why I found it entertaining. The writers didn't allow themselves to be limited by making it seem completely realistic which allowed the story to expand. Season 1 in particular was one of the more entertaining seasons of TV I can remember. I was always ready to watch the next episode when one ended, and that's how I know I'm into a show. I judge how entertaining something is by how often I'm screwing around on my phone while I'm watching and I stayed off my phone for the most part. Some seasons are better than others. 1 and 2 are really good. The rest are good enough to go ahead and finish once you've watched 1 and 2. You could probably clock out after 3 if you really wanted but I finished it. If you can watch it for what it is, entertainment, you'll probably enjoy it. If you take everything you watch too seriously, skip it. 7.5 but 9 for season 1.

Season 3 of from is the most boring season of any series I've ever watched. I enjoyed the first season and was looking forward to watching the show play out but by the end of season 3 I had cancelled my mgm subscription. Season 3 was literally nothing but filler. They could have condensed the entire season into 1 episode. I heard one of the writers say to remember that the relationships between the characters is what's important, not the question of "what's going on"? The problem with that is that there are no interesting characters, and as the show goes on, fewer and fewer likable characters. The most interesting thing that could happen at this point would be for many of the characters to be killed off. Writers either don't know where they're going or are milking it for every dime they can. Either way, I'm done with the show after season 3. I cancelled my subscription. Don't waste your time.

The first thing I'll say is that I usually can not stand Matthew McConaughey or the typical douchebag characters he plays. The reason why it took me so long to finally watch season 1 of True Detective is because I didn't think I could stomach 8 episodes of him as the lead.

With that said, he absolutely killed it here. The chemistry that he and Woody Harrelson have on screen is as good as just about any I've seen. Both characters are troubled and have massive shortcomings but are excellent partners with how they balance one another. Woody plays certifiably crazy as well as anyone. I personally enjoyed the dialogue between these two as much as any that I can remember.

Story will speak for itself when you watch it.

I was never bored for a minute. One of the best seasons of television I've seen.

9/10.
