it would seem Batman Universe is scifi-ish as much as comicbook material like Marvel Avengers, Ironman, Agents of Shield as science fiction
The Penguin

Stupid.
There has never been a Fallout game that took place in Europe.
You made an excellent show. Make a 2nd season of that and maintain the quality.
Why the fuck do they do dumb shit like this every single time?
We're not even going to wait 3 or 4 seasons on this one before we "Fear The Walking Dead" this franchise?
Why do all the stupid people have the great jobs?

Hey Jaynez... I got another one I think you're going to like...
I'm not going to watch that trailer myself for any spoilers. I went into this completely blind except for the short blurb about it on IMDB that I read last night...

I watched JoJo Rabbit last night and found it when I was looking to see if either of the kids in that movie had done anything notable afterward. The girl on JoJo Rabbit most recently voiced one of the characters on this show.
I'm 2 episodes into the 1st season and it is excellent. Highly recommended.

I am 6 episodes into the 1st season right now, and my recommendation is now 10 times what it was after just 2 episodes.
Man... you guys are going to love this one.

First season was flippin' awesome. It's late now. I'm not starting Season 2 tonight.
Thomasin McKenzie hasn't made an appearance yet. That's great, because I figured she was just going to be a bit part as one of the other girls at school.
We're a long way past high school days. I don't think high school matters much anymore in this timeline.
Man... I'm glad I watched JoJo Rabbit. Otherwise, the only way I probably would have ever heard of Pantheon is if Janyez posted about it and I managed to see the post.

Season 2, at least in my mind, has taken a notable dip in quality.
I'm 3 or 4 episodes into it right now. I honestly don't even know. That's how little I care.
The artwork and voice acting are still great. But I find that I'm just kind of bored watching it now. The first episode was still pretty good, but the last two were kind of yawn inducing. I even literally fell asleep at one point while watching, and that never was a possibility while watching Season 1.
I think the biggest problem is just how "Big Picture" everything's gotten.
Too many "magical" beings exist now too, and I feel like I'm just watching an episode of Dragon Ball Z half the time.
I dunno... I hope there's a payoff, but at this rate I find myself not caring if they are currently making a 3rd season or not and I kind of just want them to finish the story now.
Maybe they should have just had a 10 episode Season 1 and figured out a way to wrap it up as tight as the rest of the first 8 episodes were.
Bummer.

One episode left to go and it has redeemed itself, for the most part.
2nd season still is not on par with the first by a long shot, but the 7th episode in particular has really brought it back up. Maybe this last episode can change my mind.
I do get the feeling that we're reaching the conclusion though. It would surprise me if there were any more story to tell after Season 2 unless they're aim is to milk this series for all its worth.

The final episode of the series was excellent.
I did a little bit of reading up on it just to make sure that they weren't even thinking about doing a 3rd season and I learned a bit about what was going on behind the scenes. It had always confused me that I'd see the Prime logo on it, but AMC+ as well.
If it weren't for the last two episodes, I'd be firmly on the fence about Prime's involvement. It appears that the only reason the story got finished in the first place was because Amazon took over and finished it after AMC+ cancelled it after the first season. (Fuckers).
I think the Prime involvement definitely had something to do with the notable drop in quality I mentioned earlier. I just watched all 16 episodes in a 24 hour period, so maybe that was more noticeable to me than most people who watched it as they were aired. It REALLY just felt different. But if Amazon didn't step in we would have had another Sarah Connor Chronicles on our hands, so I can't be too mad about it.
Thankfully, the writers wrote themselves into a corner and I don't see any plausible way for a 3rd season to ever be written.
It's not the perfect ending to the perfect show, but it was a really good ending to a really good show. I wish the second season was as strong as the first was. I think they probably should have only had 5 or 6 episodes for the 2nd season, and I believe the biggest problem was that they added a bunch of padding in there that was unnecessary to make it 8 episodes.
But because the last two episodes came in and saved it, I still have to give it a high recommendation.
First Season: 9/10
Second Season 6.5/10
Overall: 7.75/10
Oh... and if anyone was wondering, even though she never gets a starring role and her name in the beginning credits when the episodes start, and only gets the "Also starring" at the end credits, Thomasin McKenzie has a very important role in the show and quite a bit of screen time. I thought she had a really interesting voice on JoJo Rabbit, and it fit the role in this show perfectly.
The only person I could imagine that would be even better for that role would have been Nicole Fantl, who voiced Fran in Final Fantasy XII. And looking at her IMDB page, she's another actress/voice actress who has been tragically underutilized over the years.
