True Detective: The Hour and the Day (2019)
So slooooooooow
Jesus wept, if this season got any slower it would grow roots. So much potential but my god, speed things up a bit. I find myself unable to watch a whole episode in one sitting because I think of more interesting things to do like the washing up or taking the rubbish out. A lot of people rubbished the second season but at least it moved along at a pace. This is actually the second time I've watched the series and I'm not surprised I can't remember what happens because it doesn't live long in the memory. I'm clinging to the the hope things start to improve in the next couple of episodes, otherwise I'll be mowing the lawn.

Is anything ever going to happen?
Am I the only one who thinks this is the slowest moving series in the history of television? It honestly feels like they're padding out every episode to make it an hour when they could have condensed two episodes into one without any trouble. Are they getting on these bloody ships or not?! Weak leading actors, flicking back and forth to various locations where (surprise surprise) nothing happens! Credit where it's due, the CGI is spectacular, but coming from a huge LOTR, Hobbit fan, this is a complete letdown. They'd have been much better off ploughing all this money into another film somehow. Gutted.
