It’s actually pretty good if you just accept that it’s longer than it needs to be.

Cool. Thanks! I kind of like "longer than it needs to be" anymore due to all of the series binge watching I've done. I've become used to long, slow character development and find that hour and a half, two hour movies move along too fast.

I agree to a point. I like long movies, usually.

However, I REALLY hate being strung along in TV shows. I don’t mind if the information is important, I care about the characters, etc. But otherwise, I just stop.

The first show that ever happened with was Battlestar Galactica. I really liked the original series, but when my daughter loaned me the DVD of the remake, I got through one season and it hit me hard that it was like they were just phoning it in, trying to keep viewers watching between commercials. I never finished it.

I also did that with Outlander. Great concept, but three episodes in, I was done. Too slow.

I watched “The 100” with my grandson. The plot moved so slow that it was excruciating. Then, in one episode, stuff actually started happening. I looked over to him and said, “Ah, this must be the season finale. Things we’ve been waiting for for episode after boring episode are actually happening. This episode is actually interesting.”
