Just started Better Call Saul, I'm excited. Not sure why it's taken me so long.
You know what deserves a good re-watch. Kingdom. I miss it.

Really annoyed. Only discovered that fear the walking dead was available on prime video a few weeks ago. (Confusing with TWD being on Disney).
Having only seen the first 2 series or so when I streamed online when they were released, I was buzzing to watch it through.
Made it to series 3 and just went to continue today and as of today, none of it is included with prime anymore.

Major issue with Prime that. They'll suck you in for a series or two, then take it off, asking you to pay if you want to continue watching.

So if I use someone elses account, it will be free for them? Or is it just coincidence that they are charging for it shortly after I've started watching

Coincidence. They never have series on for long unless it's an Amazon original.
Cynical side of me thinks they put a show on with lots of series for a very limited amount of time, with the hope people get sucked in and purchase the following series or buy the boxset.

If its any consolation, that series turned to crap by S3/4 anyway imo

Finished Bosch Legacy last night. Really enjoyed it, on par with the Bosch series and cant wait for the next series after a great cliffhanger ending. Loved all the cameo appearances of the original cast giving a bit of continuity, would be good if some others tied in just via the odd mention/news bulletin etc.

My thoughts on The Rings of Power episode 3
At this point I have entirely separated the show from Tolkien and his work in my mind and find it more enjoyable because of that.
The positives is that its mostly visually stunning. Numenor looks amazing and shows why this project cost so much. The Orcs look good too (way better then I expected them to) but the Warg was absolutely dreadful. Its up there with the worst CGI from the Hobbit films. Just terrible, it looked like a deformed Pokemon that's been cracked mated with the three Hyenas from the Lion King.
The characters are mostly interesting but they've REALLY got to work on Galadriel. She just comes off like an angry adolescent (which is why it was amusing when Elendil compared her to his children) rather then an Elf Queen/Warrior that's lived for literally thousands of lifetimes. She's just angry all the time (apart from the scene where she's laughing on the horse which looks so forced that it hurt) and its daft. You'd think that in the thousands of years she's lived she would've learned basic diplomatic skills like being gracious to your host in order to win favor with them. Her and Halbrand acting like they wanted to angrily screw each other just felt weird and unnecessary.
Elendil is interesting as is the bulk of the Numenor people apart from Isildur who is just painfully cliché as the conflicted young man not wanting to follow in his father's footsteps. The whole family is very soap opera-ish.
The Harefoots however are unfortunately just dumb. I'm sorry but they are. They've been built up as this group whose hearts are bigger then their feat but they're apparently happy to leave a whole family of their clan behind to basically die in the wildness all because of a sprained ankle and a mischievous daughter? I mean, ok but they just got very unlikeable to me very quickly. Also the whole outfit thing? It just makes them so distracting. I can't constraint on their faces because they've basically got a full blown garden bobbling about on it.
I really liked the scene where Arondir wept as he was forced by the Orcs to cut down the tree. Personally that felt the most Tolkien like thing I've seen from the show thus far. It was good. As is that whole story arc. This was the best part of the episode by far imo.
I'm looking forward more to next week because I hope to see more of Gil Galad, Elrond and the Dwarfs who where missed in the episode this week.
1/10 as a Tolkien show
7.5/10 as a generic fantasy show.
