The final 3 episodes (0 more)
Drawn out for far too long, at least 8 episodes could have been cut without anything being lost (0 more)
By far the worst series yet
The latest series of the zombie thriller follows on from series 7, with Negan still in power and demanding tribute from the communities. Though those communities are now starting to rebel and fight back. The series is something of a roller coaster with ups and downs, but few twists or turns. The action plods along for the most part and only 4 or 5 episodes really excite or add much to the storyline. I think this series has stuck closer to the comics than previous ones, though the comics did not drag the action out as long.

I'm yet to the watch the season finale but I'm in no rush to see it either, which is completely different from how I've been with previous seasons. This season has been a big disappointment for me

I agree, though I promise you the finale is more action-packed than most of the series has been, though I know a few people who were not happy with how it ended.

I haven't played the games, of which a third is due out soon?! So I can only merit it as a film in its own right. Aware of poor reviews, I wasn't aware too much of the story behind the games, other than a cop who hands out his own rough justice. It was an interesting film but I think most expected a lot more action, or maybe more blood and violence. Instead it's more of a film noir thriller. The visuals are impressive, not just the cgi angels but the overall cinematography. The action gets better towards the end with a good shoot-out, but overall it needed a bit more throughout. A good surprising cast line up though!

Mike Wingate grew up in foster care, not even knowing his real last name. But as an adult he's going to need to figure out his past quickly because someone is out to kill him for it. What secret does his family hold? I felt this thriller was pretty slow getting going, but once it did, it was another roller coaster ride of action.

Decent Crime Thriller
Another team up between Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg. Although not as good as the previous films they did together including @Mile 22 (2018) and @Patriots Day (2016) it is still fairly entertaining with some action scenes. A former cop who is now an ex-con investigates the murder of two cops he knew. It's not got as much humour as I thought it would have but the story was good enough to keep you interested.
