i REALLY Tried......


But I just cannot enjoy this show. It's painful watching Sir Patrick in such a bad light. I can't believe it's actually getting a second season. It needs to be put out of its misery.

Superior intelligence doesn't necessarily equate to superior intention.

It took me a couple of episodes to warm up to it, but now I love the show. And Patrick Stewart is the best part, although everyone else is pretty darn good, too. Great casting.

I think it's just another feather in his cap, a great actor doesn't have to be confined to serious roles. He's a fantastic comedy actor, his cameo in Extras and voice contribution to American Dad have certainly hinted at this. I think it's great to see him in a role that showcases how funny he can be.

It is quite a debauched world they're all in and I can see it wouldn't appeal to everyone. Some of the lines have me in stitches, I love the dialogue between Blunt and Harry.

I think a lot of the people struggled with the show because they expected a straight up comedy. The way I saw it, the show was a tragedy with some comedic elements. I was initially disappointed too, but watching the show through that perspective made me love it.

Yes, you tried. You kept an open mind and found it wasn't for you and you moved on. Nothing wrong with that.

Did you try contacting jonathan Ames? Maybe he'll come to his senses and stop the show for you. Even though it's extremely funny, and Stewart is phenomenal in it.

I like it, so I hope he doesn't assign undue weight to your opinion.

I don't really get your problem. He's an actor playing roles and he's great at it.
Watching this after having seen Green Room (great movie where he plays an actual bad guy) is just such a joy!

I hope we will see him in more roles like that, it really showcases his talent.
It's such a blast seeing Cpt. Picard so unhinged 😂

I'm 6 episodes in. I just don't care about any of the characters or topics. Sadly, I find Harry to be the most interesting character.
