Hmm I know it's only a trailer but I fear this won't be a patch on the firstDirector track record is dodgy
Farrell looks the part, Vaughn looks ok in the trailer, actor I don't recognise with short dark hair looks hammy
Why do we need an attractive female character?
Fingers crossed they haven't fked it up or Hollywooded it
Yep that looks smart to me! Looking forward to it again.
(Didn't realise McConaughey was in it again JOKING)
Just picking up on the point further up I can't abide 24 episode season shows on the so-called 'Network channels' (NBC, ABC, CBS etc.) any more. Aside from the odd one like The Mentalist, Hawaii Five-0 etc. I haven't picked up much new on these channels for ages.
Watching shorter but (IMO) higher quality shows on premium/cable such as True Detective, Fargo, True Blood, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Sons of Anarchy etc. has really been the way forward in recent years.

Re long season's - some are ok. House, Elementary, Forever, Chicago Fire to name a few....
House? I enjoy it but it's hardly riveting; patient has weird symptoms and getting worse. Is it Lupus? My leg is sore, grr. Re long season's - some are ok. House, Elementary, Forever, Chicago Fire to name a few....

For my own tastes, I think that all series that last over 15 episodes are ste.
ste is a bit strong. There's some good popcorn entertainment that runs longer seasonsAgents of Shield, Arrow, Grimm and Hawaii 5 O are all watchable and far from ste.

Yeah OK< it's a bit strong and not actually accurate. Agents of Shield, Arrow, Grimm and Hawaii 5 O are all watchable and far from ste.
I guess I split shows between shows I watch over my laptop, and shows I need to actually view.
Most series of around 10 episodes are serial dramas where you need to view the stuff that goes on, because it's all/mostly important. Most series over 15 are procedurals, where you can drop in/drop out, miss a few episodes and it doesn't really matter, you can still understand what's going on in 2 minutes of watching.
The vast majority if USA shows are procedurals. So while they are not in fact...ste! They are just not my cup of tea because I find them tedious and boring for the most part.
There are a few hybrids out there, but I prefer the solid serial dramas which by necessity run to a much shorter length. I love that engagement.
