Santa Barbara once awarded me with lifetime immunity to TV series.

I don't know about Santa Barbara, but modern series like "Molodyozhka" really annoy me. They've forgotten how to make good shows.

Well... I didn't like TV series until recently either. Now, "Suits", "White Collar", "Dexter", "Elementary", and "Sherlock" are far from the last in my personal ranking.

Just don't start watching from the first episode of the first season, like I did. After such nonsense, you lose all desire to watch it further. I think it's better to start with some other season (let Kosh say which one).

So, I'll start with the second season.

I started watching the first episode of the second season of Doctor Who. It's interesting, but confusing because there are many references to the first season, which I haven't watched.

I watched The Hobbit too. It's super awesome, but also quite funny. The EPICNESS is off the charts. It's well-shot. I liked it. The book is better.

The book is better.

The book is always better than its film adaptation.

I would be very surprised if it turned out to be worse.

That's why you should always start with the first season, and not rely on other people's opinions, because everyone has different tastes, and just because someone didn't like it, doesn't mean you won't like it either.

A book is always better than its adaptation.

Not always.

Not always. I immediately remembered "Formula of Love" and "Guest from the Future." I personally couldn't finish reading the books on which these were based.

You were just unlucky to read such books ^^

You were just unlucky to read those books.

Did you even attend logic class in school?

Morni, has no one ever told you that you're a bore? ))

Of course not. I can also give you a good whack on the head.

getting back to the topic. I watched the first episode of the third season of "Sherlock".
It's hard to recognize the original work, but the screenwriters clearly read online versions of "How he did it". Some of the adapted versions were quite enjoyable
Overall, it's suitable for a New Year's viewing: lots of laughs, little substance.

He was told!

Sherlock was also watching. It was okay. But I wanted something different.

I watched it too, and I agree with Mortulus:

The film is complete garbage; it left no positive feelings or impressions.

There's no Bilbo, no acting, and only about fifteen minutes of dialogue. There's almost no plot – in fact, for three hours, there are only three and a half action scenes: a walk through the forest, an escape from the forest, running around under the mountain, and ten minutes of Gandalf's daily routine. It's more like an overlong CGI animation from YouTube than a real movie. Against this backdrop, the fictional storyline about the elves, which everyone is so impressed with, doesn't look so bad; without it, the already meager informational content of the film would be reduced by half. The dance with the dragon at the end of the film is one of the most absurd and idiotic "battles" I've ever seen in cinema.
Apparently, it didn't take much effort to put together a sequel in a year; the masses will go anyway, after such a promising start, to see a new Lord of the Rings.
I am very disappointed.
