Hanna is a complete series, there are only 3 seasons of Hanna.
Oh I once heard of an ongoing thread about Hanna not getting a season 4, thought it ought too

Hanna season 2 is a solid 8/10 for me.
Now this is the exact definition of an improvement from season 1 to season 2.
The script writers came prepared this time and this season 2 was simply breathtaking.
It was intensed all through, the definition of a thriller.

I like the fact that they made in more broader and wider and sent the girls out on a mission in Barcelona and in London.
Marrisa is a strong woman though, proper amazon lady that is willing to right her wrongs.

Now that Marisa and Hanna has finally gotten the power to destroy the organization from withing.
I can't wait to see how that will happen in season 3, Considering the girls in meadows.
You're watching a series that is cancelled😭😭😭

The Boys season 4 episode 6 chai. What a disgusting episode. The writers mannn . DISGUSTING. And the theory about that guy being a hallucination was right after all
THE BOYS S4 E6 SPOILER!!!
This episode is just really disgusting but the dialogue and writing is totally off in my opinion? They tried to recreate 'YOU' - the Netflix series with butcher- that's the only thing that made sense in this episode. How did Hughie leave that hospital without any repercussions whatsoever? Why is he even crying - because of that bondage scene? Do republicans just tell people about their racist great grandfathers with pride with a black guy watching?
They just decide to paint the right wings as dumb conspiracy theorists that can't think for themselves😪 they've decided to make half of the Boys about politics which is just sooo stupid. No one wants politics in the Boys tbh just make a well-written script🤷🏽‍♂️
A 1/10 of a episode
I like this still tho

Do you see the two making out? Did you see a trait of lesbianism as it in other movie? Conceiving by the power of force.. he who conceive can’t be the one who creates.

No iota of lesbianism there as you are saying
Or you see them kissing or showing love to one another?
Oga rest
😂😂😂😂😂😂 are you sure you're watching the same show with everyone else? So you have to see women kissing before you know they're lesbians, wtf? 😂

If GOT and HOTD are confusing for you, then you probably don't see a lot of shows, because they couldn't be more straightforward. If you now see Westworld nko?
What if she watches Twin Peaks or Severance😂 head go burst

GOT and HOTD are the most confusing shows I've ever seen.

I watched GOT up to S4 and still couldn't get familiar with some of the characters. Everything was just so confusing.
Stick to Nigerian movies👀 if you think it's confusing.

Low budget but the take looks horrifically interesting with the full on weird horror they're going for.
I had the impression of how great this movie would be right from the moment I saw the first trailer

Usually only the clothing you see, your eyes are averted already, cos your mind already registers ma religious person be this.

Plus

You wouldn't even believe that she will come to king's landing just like that
Actually none of the above -
1. There were no cameras and social media 👀 how do you think the small folk knew the Queen's face - they only know her by name
2 - All her adult life was spent mostly in Dragonstone not Kingslanding - when do you think the small folks even have the chance to see her - she never sat the iron throne where people with supplications would even see her

Laughing.. ain't nothing like lesbian witches.
The twins are created using the force. Just like anakin was.
The lead witch created them.. the other one carried them.

Nothing like lesbianism there at all.

If Lucas ruled it out.. that's Lucas's problem..

As for me.. I'm enjoying the show
Wait what?? No lesbianismhuh??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Are you sure you're watching Acolyte?
Anakin in Phantom Menace was called the special one because he was conceived by divine immaculation. The Acolyte just decided to brownwash and downcast that storyline by claiming he wasn't special at all since lesbian space witches can use 'the thread' to make babies by shouting the most cringiest cult sayings in the history of television

Rhaenyra is beginning to annoy me.

A completely pointless risk with zero rewards.
Even if she convinced Alicent, what would Alicent do exactly? Is she the one on the throne?
You're right but you should know Rhaenyra doesn't know that yet. She still thinks Allicent controls her son mostly because the war hasn't started yet and as she sees control is slipping from Allicent and Otto's hands that's why she did that. It's not a cheap discourse

Broskyjames:
The latest HOTD episode might seem [b]slow paced or even uninteresting, [/b]but imo it is like one of the most important episodes so far in the entire show, that has ramifications not just for HOTD but for GOT as well.

King Viserys I on his deathbed, high and delirious from the milk of the poppy, repeats, Aegon the conqueror's dream of A song of Fire and Ice to Alicent (and in the delirium, thinking he was speaking to Rhaenyra), talking about the Prince that was promised, and this dumb broad Alicent, thought Viserys was speaking about her useless son, also named "Aegon", because for some weird reason dem Targaryen, seemingly have a pool of 10 names to pick from, and they are cool with repeating names and causing confusion undecided, and that's what started this bloody war in the first place.

I can't even blame Alicent too much, as i think she had already accepted Rhaenyra as her queen before Viserys spewed that nonsense to her. If only Viserys had just said "The princess that was promised", probably things would've been more clearer, but Alicent heard Prince and Aegon and she put 2 and 2 together to make 4 😭.

And what was that prophecy about Daemon all about? 👀.

Solid episode.
EXACTLY! The episode is just setting up what is to coming in the next episode, that's what people don't understand. Although Rhaenyra didn't need to go to Kings Landing, it was important she needed to talk Allicent before it actually started -
reason 1 is she still thinks Allicent controls her son
2 - she still sees Allicent as a friend despite what happened in EP 7 season 1
3. Allicent is smart enough to know if Rhaenyra dies- Daemon is probably the one with all the strings since Jace is still young
Now, Rhaenyra understands that war is the only way forward since even Allicent is not to be trusted.

Laughing..I'm a star war fans to the core.

The movie is going as expected.

I don't know what you are expecting from the movie that it's not giving
You’re a Star Wars fan to the core but you don’t know how the series has been breaking core lores and important story arcs of Star Wars that even the creator George Lucas is disapproving the series or don't understand how shitty the acting and dialogue is because they decided to focus on diversity and lesbian witches fkin to give birth to twins because 'women don't need men in their lives'

Succession S1-4
The best series I've ever binged


I've had this series for a long while but I'vent even opened it too even see what It's because the premise didnt really entice me- a series about a rich dysfunctional family 🤷🏽‍♂️ I prefer dragons, death and blood. But right from the first episode of this series- you can never understand the direction of this show! The best directed series I've ever watched for a number of reasons

1. succession’s outrageous ambition

It seamlessly blends explosive comedy with dismal tragedy, often in the same scene, and delivers sharp observations, wit, irreverence and awe, in equal measure. And then there’s formal daring – for example, Season Four’s timeline is just ten days, that is, a day(ish) per episode!

At the heart of the work is the study of ambition itself: At a systemic level it continues to prosecute capitalism’s deep contradictions; at the personal level it vivisects the narcissistic, avaricious, self-actualising destructive, bitter, deluded, driven and wicked selves breathing such fetid air; and at the centre is the death-like grasp of the rugged individualist patriarch’s vaulting ambition, o’erleaping itself, and all who stand before it.



2. succession is like nothing else

Part satire, part pastoral, part comical-historical-tragical, it is akin to Dallas or Dynasty (less the big hair and bigger shoulder pads – indeed here the comedy masquerades as tragedy) but Succession zeroes in on not only wealth and excess but trauma, sorrow and media-business via grotesquerie and fine naturalism.

It looks like a fly-on-the-wall doco – with its use of hand-held cameras and whip zoom – yet is stunningly curated and designed. It is a lux travelogue to estates, extravagant yachts and mountain retreats, but is often claustrophobically domestic.

It’s also a business primer, reckless, roiling therapy, living thought experiment and morality play. Mash-ups can sometimes just be mash, yet here the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

3. the affect

How often do you shout at the TV? Watching this show it becomes inevitable, except when it also freezes your hands in dread halfway between shielding your eyes, blocking your ears or clutching at your stomach.

You’ll also cry, cry with laughter, in misery, in fear. It’s a car crash – in one instance, literally. You shouldn’t look, but you do – and you will feel something.

4. a moral compendium

Evagrius Ponitcus, a 4th-century monk, compiled what Pope Gregory later described as the Seven Deadly Sins. Evagrius was worried that just listing temptation and sin might harm his readers. He knew though that it was crucial work, with each of us needing to know our strengths and weaknesses.

Watching the wilful concatenation of vainglory, greed and lust, acedia (despondency) and tristitia(sorrow), that is Succession, it really does pack an ethical punch.

5. succession is its own thesaurus

It is tempting just to assemble quotation after quotation of rebarbative, wounding, up-to-the-minute and hilarious lines and neologisms from the show. And bilious, ingenious, dyspeptic many of them are.

People even pay just to have Brian Cox – who played Logan Roy, the patriarch – swear at them.

There is so much more to the show however than one-liners.

6. characters, actors, performances

Merely just listing the character names is enough to elicit a shake of the head, knowing that they are so appalling generous, and evil. Trapped in their wicked closed loops, it’s head-spinning cognitive dissonance.

What is not in dispute is how strong each actor is, especially so in this final season where even the smaller parts are stepping up and hitting it out of the park.

7. how the 0.1% live

Rich people, literally Les Rois, the Kings. Is it a celebration or a repudiation? Either way, they live in our world, but most are not of (or care for) this world.

NB: it's also one of the funniest shows I've ever watched which is strange
An A+++++ show

The king meant Rhaenyra's son Aegon...not Alicent's son.

Edit -
I'm also wrong
😂 it was definitely about Aegon the Conqueror, Viserys thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra

How is casting black people historically incorrect you simpleton?
Bro is like Samuel L Jackson's character in Django Unchained. Bro hates his own black people for succeeding. I'm sure if it's in the slave era, he'd sell his children for a thank you to his white gods
