HBO has been killing it lately! The end of GOT (which was a bit of a let down, but enjoyable nonetheless), Chernobyl, Succession, and now Watchmen.
 

I can’t get enough of Watchmen! Honesty the one of the best shows on TV right now. It’s a Sci-Fi, Dystopian, Historical, Super-Hero, Murder Mystery; and its a masterpiece. There’s some many plot lines and so much social commentary. Brilliant pick up by HBO.

Too bad HBO shows are impossible to watch here unless you're downloading them or waiting forever for them to be on DVD/BluRay. I'm curious about Watchmen though, so who knows..

Vpn  (I’ve heard that works for foreigners). I obviously don’t use one, and my family actually gets access to the East Coast channel, so I can watch the episodes the minute they come out.

 

Highly recommend Watchmen, it’s confusing as hell at points though.

I don't have a very fancy TV. I mean, it's good, but not in terms of connectivity and so streaming it there isn't an option. Neither is watching good shows on my laptop, because I wanna chill on the couch when watching those with good surround sound and all. So other options it is.

HBO just announced the programs that will be available on HBO MAX (their no streaming service to challenge Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Disney+), and let my tell you...I’m in love . I’m pretty sure the only time I won’t be watching HBO in 2020 will be during the Olympics

The GoT prequel that was supposed to go thousands of years back has been cancelled suddenly. 'House of Dragons' about the Targaryans has been confirmed though. I wonder how far back it goes, hopefully to before the Doom of Valyria.

Yay, another streaming service. How wonderful.

I did hear that it ends, right where GOT began (so it will end with the Great War)

All about the streaming services. I have an account for most of them. They’re just so much better than cable tv.

But GOT ends with the Great War. GOT began 20 years or so after Robert's Rebellion, which was the end of the Targaryen dynasty and so the logical end for this prequel.
