Helluva cliffhanger, huh? Haven't read the book but I think there's more chapters.

- I still don’t know why the US gov’t is running circles to try to appease Hamzad. Still makes no sense. 
 

 

This here. And also, if Hamzad has all that money, why is he still living like it's the stone ages?

You have to imagine this is happening 10 years ago war/politics.

it is addressed in one of the articles posted on the previous page but it was supposed to be 10 episodes and they shortened it due to bridges getting cancer and almost dying of covid. I think it said when he came back they just shot episode 7 and called it a season because they didn't want to push him too much.

So I guess, at least, we did establish by implication that Hamzad didn't know where the ore deposit was.

If Johnny/Dan and [forgot real name/Abbey took off after he demanded to know, then clearly they didn't tell him.  No idea who else knew about it.

I figured that was Hamzad's motive for getting Dan back to him.  Revenge for wife/kid stealing would just be gravy.

Unless somebody else on their side new where it was and he found it quickly.  So I have no idea.

Spoiler

when it showed johnny and balour escaping from hamzad it appeared that emily was at a least a few years old. she wasn't an infant. interesting that she wouldn't have any memory of living in a mud hut in afghanistan.

So far so good.  Recommended.

Really disappointed in the finale but you’re right- one of my favorite series in the last couple of years. 

Wait ..... wut?
I just binged this thing starting Sunday, and you are telling me that is it for season 1...........furk #*@
Is there a season 2???
Guess I'll just read the book, I'm not waiting a year to see if the release season 2

Not really. Was anyone truly surprised? I'm bad at predicting stuff and saw that one coming for weeks.  Also felt like a cheat playing "hide the daughter" in every flashback scene.

7 eps?    Who does that?

It was supposed to be 10 but with Covid, and Jeff Bridges cancer treatments and almost fatal Covid bout they cut to 7.

Ah, guess that makes sense

 

Finished the last episode last night.   Really enjoying the series.   Everything everyone has said about Bridges and Lithgow is true.  Just great actors.

This show is horrible. I wanted to bad to like it, and thought it would be in my wheelhouse, Rotties, Bridges, spy/badassery. 

The daughter angle is terrible, the flashbacks are terrible, the hostage/wife is terrible. Not sure if they rushed it, or what is going on but they failed. 

If it would have just been bridges and Lithgow and some action they could have saved it, but the storylines that are hanging around the edges are just so bad, and the wife is awful. 

leem lubany?  she's terrible imo.   she was pretty good in the condor, and doing a serviceable job here.  she's acting out the role she was given.

But otherwise, it's pretty good, agreed?

100% the scenes with the dogs are amazing. 

Take out any scene with any female (dont cancel me bro) and the show is real solid.

Eva would crush in the old man. The hostage wife and the daughter, are like having shittier versions of Wendy Byrd and Skylar White.

I think Maeby is pretty good in this.

I am about 3/4 through the book - don't worry, even if I told you the details of the story and how it ends it will not affect what you know about the video series.
Some of the same characters, some of the same places.....but not the same story at all.

Now you can get back to Juicy's misogynistic commentary
So far the daughter is a very minor character, so you might like the book ... Zoe is the only really developed female there

The wife and I just finished the last episode of season 1 last night.  Series is ok and will probably start season 2 when it comes out.  Seems like the storyline could be wrapped up in 3 episodes, though.

Only two episodes in, but this show fucks! 

I like how the casting of the actor who plays young Bridges nailed the hair, while the casting of young Lithgow nails the voice.

Just finished season 1 and thought just meh.  Poor Jeff Bridges, you could tell he was gasping for air in some scenes probably from post Covid.  Lithglow was great and Amy Brenneman played same character she always does.  Don’t know why but kept waiting for Joel Grey to drop his paints to show he’s wearing garter belts and belt out Cabaret.

  • 6 months later...

I read that they have 4 1/2 episodes of season 2 done, but like everything else, it's on hold now.  I went back and watched season 1 this week just so I could see the dogs again.  I got pissed about the delay and got halfway through the book last night.  The book is a completely different story and the dogs are a lab/poodle/unknown mix which I actually like better than the ones in the show.

  • 5 months later...

Had a notice pop up and it says season 2 to be released this fall.

I hope it is with the 2 year wait

  • 4 months later...

Trailer on FX, season 2 releases 9/12. (I think that's what it says) 

I'm in again, hope it doesn't go crazy or pointless

If you missed S1 watch it.

I’m concerned this might be Jeff’s last big role. His health is shit.

Advanced Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma plus R-Chop chemo and radiation is something you don't want to mess with. Plus, throw Covid on the pile and you've got quite the health challenge. 

Bridges has been in full remission for a couple of years now but I would imagine he's feeling the effects of that treatment even today. Impressed he's returned to the series. 

I hope this isn’t like game of thrones and it goes to shit now that they don’t have a book to follow.  I hope he gets his dogs back at least.

With two years between seasons, I'll have to go back and watch the last few episodes of season 1 so I can remember who is who and what the hell is going on.

Covid and Cancer kinda delayed the schedule.

  • 4 weeks later...

Starting a re-watch of the last few episodes of season 1.  Episode 5 seems like a good place to start.   Half way through and the majority of the story is back in my mind.

Black Hole Sun probably not one of my top 10 Soundgarden jams but I'll be damned it works here

Just finished rewatching season 1, hyped for season 2 to start. Hoping Dave and Carol are brought back.

I have forgotten S1.  Need a recap.  TO THE INTERNETS!

yeah I don’t think I can commit 10+ hours to rewatching season 1.  my time is extremely valuable.

if anyone watches a good recap on youtube please post here 

Edited by futureman

Thought I saw 1st 2 eps were on the intertubes already.

  • Author

I’m pumped! Long time coming. But we all know the whole deal with production. Honored we got two “seasons” honestly. Good stuff.

 

will wait to see what everyone else thinks before I weigh in more. 

We watched the first two S2 eps tonight.  Great start so far.  Pay attention.  Lots of subtitled Dari.
