    And this isn’t even mentioning being stuck in an expensive theatre for 3 hours, that the show in its full is perfectly bingeable over a weekend and that there is a high likelihood that it might get cancelled midway through, which will really sting with a 4 episode mini series.

      The fact you described it as “the show” is absolutely the problem in a nutshell. This isn’t a film, or a film series, it’s a fucking commitment. At least with Avatar, they’re years apart and the most visually stunning graphics on the planet. Or with LOTR these are epic stories and sagas.

      What is the saga of the American rancher Mr. Costner? I need to understand.
