This has always been the case in the TV industry where schedule is much tighter. So when 1 director is done shooting and goes to work on post, another director will continue to shoot the next episode. Remember that a lot of old cable show requires to have 22 hr long episodes per year. That's 10 movies in 1/2 the time.

Movies, you have 1-2 years to produce 2hrs of content. TV you have may be 2 weeks to a month produce 30mins.

The cool thing about Mandalorian is that most outside set are virtual and rendered live using Unreal Engine.

Pacing is too ADD for my taste unless that's intentional to show how Bill's brain really works.

Yeah, basically ALL tv uses multiple directors out of necessity. They sometimes hire a famous director to do the pilot to set the tone for a bunch of lackey directors to do the rest. David Fincher did House of Cards and Mindhunter. Scorsese did Boardwalk Empire.

You really notice when one director does a whole season, like Fukunaga on the first season of true Detective. (One writer too).

Wow. I didn't know about Scorsese or Fincher in either of those and I really liked those shows. I'll have to look back and see if those episodes were particularly memorable.
Did anyone watch the final season of House Of Cards? I figured it would be shit. Not because I didn't think Wright could pull it off; just because Frank's departure was so unplanned and abrupt.

Scorsese also did the pilot for Vinyl, but I never watched that.

Steven Soderberg did all of the episdes of The Knick which was a good show.

Started watching Veep recently. Bit of a slow start, but really enjoying it. If you like the office, you'll like Veep.

edit: and finished Righteous Gemstones. That show was great.

I refuse to watch the final season out of protest.

That and I refuse to let one of my all time favourite shows be ruined by my least favourite character taking center stage. Claire’s plot arcs were all a waste of screen time.

I heard that it was near universally poorly received.

Wait... Am I doing that wrong? Or am I doing the most clever MeToo of 2019?!
It's B

I watched the last season. Definitely struggled without Frank, and a super abrupt ending... The whole season was about Frank anyway, so kinda dumb

Finally onto the crave wagon and watching Watchmen. Man alive HBO knows how to make a show, and Trent Reznor soundtracks are the best

One thing Ive noticed on some of the tv shows I watch is what is up with every episode being directed by a different person - Mandalorian is a key example of this.

A lot more common these days, especially non-sitcom type shows.

wait, people watched House of Cards past the first season?

That show was horrible - except for that first season.

1 was amazing yes. But 2 and 3 were definitely far above average entertainment in their own right.

I thought it was good. But once they turfed Frank I quit watching.

I have cranked 8 episodes in 3 days. It's the best show ive watched this year. Helps to have 'some' backstory knowledge, but if you're patient it explains it all

My wife and I had zero backstory knowledge... I can relate to your comment about being patient. That being said, the show was fantastic.. can't wait for the last ep.

Has anyone been following the Silicon Valley series on HBO? What did you guys think about the ending? I felt it was a bit rushed, really wish they were able to add one more season to it, but perhaps they ended it this way as a cliff hanger for future opportunities?

It was a good ending.. more of a philisophical ending though

man alive... This show has quietly been one of the best shows of the year. If it wasnt for Chernobyl, i'd have said this was absolutely the best thing we watched all year.

Plus, Lindelof stuck the ending! lost curse over?!

True, I already forgot about chernobyl haha.

We started watching the Fast & Furious movies from the beginning this weekend. So much nostalgia.

Started Peaky Blinders with the wife this weekend. Season 1 was good, but might pause before starting S2 and check out Watchmen since you guys are raving about it

Also watching Star Wars all over again since the wife hasn’t seen them. Contemplated watching them in order from 1-7, but decided to do 4-6 first. Forgot how cheesy some scenes are lol...

Watchmen is something you will either like or not. I personally could not make it past episode 3.

Watchmen isn't even in the same league as Peaky Blinders, IMO. So much better.

It's a little weird, but one of the shows that as you stick with it, all of it comes together.
