The Terror;

I'm surprised no one is talking about this magnificient horror anthology drama from AMC.
Because it's not our genre of TV series. Thank you!

I think a lot of producers strech some Series un-necessarily.

Same issue I have with HTGAWM, show should have ended in its 3rd or 4th season but what did Shonda do? She dragged it till the 6th season and bored our lives. Into the Badlands suffered this same disease.

Unlike Breaking Bad, it got better from its first episode till its final episode.

Even Greys Anatomy that is in its 16th season, a lot of people jumped off that ship at Season 5.

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run.

Hehehe
Can you give us facts and figures....don't just spew bullshit on this platform.

I know Prison Break dropped in ratings season 3 upwards buh its still a hit, financially and other factors considered. Prison Break is up there with some of the best series of all time. Suck that up!

Make your own research. Ratings are used to judge movies and TV shows. When the ratings start diminishing, the series loses its credibility.

I am not a huge fan of series, I started my series journey with Smallville and Prison Break season 1 and 2. Even after watching 24, I swore that Prison Break would be in my top 5 no matter what. That was how much I loved the series. All that changed when the producers ruined it with watered down and dumb storyline in other seasons. The producers were keen on making more money but it forever ruined all the glory and effort of season 1.


Right now, Prison Break won't be in top 20 series of any credible site coz of dumb scripting. You won't understand the effect the dumb and unwanted plots are having on the rep of La Casa de Papel until 10 years from now when solid Spanish series are out there and nobody would be mentioning Money Heist in their top 5 Spanish TV shows.

Game of thrones had 7 good seasons. Your beloved Money Heist is struggling in its 4th season. You must be a clown to mention Game of thrones final season as a point.

Using Twitter as a reference point for popularity is ridiculous. Despite the ridiculousness, GOT outshines money heist.
The petitions against game of thrones season 8 trended for weeks. Your money heist cannot trend past 3 days sef.


I'm just showing you how wide the gap in the two tv shows are.

It is not by quantity (popularity) but by quality. The flash tv show has millions of followers. Just so you know.

There are many more popular and better shows than Money Heist. Even Prison Break at its height was better.




I agree
Just because it's extremely popular doesn't mean it's the best ever
As for using Twitter as a reference is ridiculous
Is it not social media?
Ronaldo has 200 million followers on Instagram
So I can't reference that when I'm trying to make a point as to how popular he is?
Only 8 countries has more population than his social media following
But it's ridiculous to use that has a reference , no?
Go to facebook and see multiple la papal de casa groups that has hundreds of thousands of fans.
Besides it's not a my beloved show,
I can name over 50 series I like more
You don't have to like money heist
You can bash it I don't care really
It's your opinion and it doesn't matter in the midst of tens of millions who like it
I'm just using you to catch fun tho
That's what lockdown will do to you
Peace brother
Or transgender

Many people rated Breaking Bad above Game Of Thrones. That's just their opinions. As for me and my household, Game Of Thrones is the best TV series ever known to mankind. Right from the first episode to the last with wonderful qoutes.

Ehn! Into The Badlands ended too soon abeg. We could have done with 4 more seasons. Don't even stress yourself on the story. Just give us an OK story with the dope fight scenes we associate the series with and we would be satisfied.

A soap opera is a radio or television serial dealing especially with domestic situations and frequently characterized by melodrama and sentimentality. So bank robbery is a melodramatic stuff abi

Perception is everything bro. You made some pretty good points with the geenofgeek.com analysis. Buh still Prison Break ranks in my top five TVseries of all time, maybe it's just my sheer likeness for its actors, I dunno

Seriously tho, I love arguments like this.
Honestly, a riots of doubts is crashing in my mind.

Not all of 'em do it to seek attention, lots of 'em dey modest about their submissions. But u see that dindinrinuno, his overestimated perception of himself has destroyed every sense of civility in him. He has been quiet here all day, maybe observing some self appraisal to help become a better person.

This season 4 is annoyingly irritating even though I'm not quitting. The show producers just want to milk the show for the hype it is getting while penning down mediocre plot.

The show will end up just like Prison Break which went from batshit good to dumpster fire. If it's not family issue, it's love issue or relationship problems. Tokyo taking over makes no damn sense. They'd just end the show after season 5 before they ruin it further.

I agree!

Ending the show at 5 would be the best thing that could happen the the show.

The riots of doubts you're now having is not bad. As learned and rational beings, we ought to scrutinize some things that doesn't sit right with us.

My criticism of Money Heist is not because it has plot holes. Far from it. If I decide to drop movies or shows coz of plot holes, I wouldn't have watched a lot of shows or movies. My criticism is coz I don't want the producers to keep dragging on the show till it becomes bland. They'd know when to quit in order to preserve the cult status of the show.

The producers of GoT almost ruined it with final season but at least they quit at the right time though not with quality scripting. I like Money Heist but the show should've ran its due course by now.

Dear Jammer777;

......I'll try to be as civil as I can, because this is a very delicate matter.

......I have diagnosed you from your behavioral pattern, and I'm fairly certain that you have OCD, I also think you might be autistic.

......You're consumed by me, off and online. Every time you logged in, you gravitate towards me. Every comment you quote, you always find a way to make them about me.

......You wanna know the saddest thing? I don't think about you at all. Honestly, your obsession is getting very creepy. I mean, getting stalked by a stranger in a faceless forum is not something you see everyday.

.....I sincerely want you to seek help. Speak to a medical professional, find a psychiatrist that will help you come to terms with your crushing inferiority complex, and get past it for good.

......Furthermore, find something tangible to occupy your mind with in your spare time, find a hobby. Better yet, get a job. A person that is consumed by problems from the workplace won't have the luxury to obsess over a total stranger.

......Well, I'll stop here. I don't think you're a total loser yet, as there is still hope. Get the help you need. I sincerely wish you well.

Yours faithfully, Dandenumeruno.
