Sometimes there is an almost a Breaking Bad vibe to the show. It also has some of the best dialogue on TV.Quote:

Over 500,000 'Game of Thrones' fans sign petition for remake of season 8
"This series deserves a final season that makes sense," the petition says.

Spoiler: ShowSpoiler alert: Season 8 of "Game of Thrones" won't get remade.
But more than 500,000 fans are calling for a do-over.
A Change.org petition called "Remake Game of Thrones Season 8 with competent writers" had garnered 505,605 signatures by about 2 p.m. Thursday, and was gaining more supporters by the second.
"David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on," the petition gripes.
HBO's "Game of Thrones" started outpacing George R.R. Martin's series of novels in season six.
"This series deserves a final season that makes sense," the petition says.
After the show was on hiatus for all of 2018, the premiere of season eight last month was the most-watched one-day event in HBO's more than four-decade history.
With millions of viewers, a few "Game of Thrones" fans are bound to have problem with aspects of each episode, but viewers started complaining en masse after a nearly-too-dark-to-see Battle of Winterfell in episode three.
What fans could see though was a wild anachronism — a paper coffee cup — accidentally left in a scene of the next episode.
"My favorite show in the entire world forgot a STARBUCKS COFFEE CUP ON THE TABLE WHILE FILMING," one dumbfounded fan wrote on Twitter.
HBO acknowledged that the presence of the disposable cup in the scene was a mistake, and later edited it out of the episode.
Then fans thought they had caught another editing error when a promotional photo from HBO showed Jaime's right hand, which he lost in season three. But the photos are mostly taken during production, before special effects are added, and the image never showed up in episode five.
Crisis averted — well, briefly.
In the penultimate episode of the series, which aired Sunday, Daenerys executed Lord Varys before wiping out King's Landing and most of its population, even after the bells of surrender sounded. Many thought the massacre was completely out-of-character for Daenerys — or at the very least needed more of a buildup.
HBO did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the petition, but some are taking it upon themselves to defend HBO and the GoT writers.
"Who convinced the entire (expletive) world that it’s entitled to exactly what they demand? You don’t like something, leave it and find something else that makes you happy," TV Insider writer Damian Holbrook said on Twitter.
There's even a counterpetition urging people to "Stop Signing Petitions Forcing TV Shows and Movies to Meet Your Demands." That petition had about 1,300 signatures Thursday afternoon.
While a remake of the last season of "Game of Thrones" is unlikely, fans can at least look forward to a spinoff prequel series written by Jane Goldman.
A world in which more people are motivated to sign a petition about some wank TV series than about important social issues deserves to die in a maelstrom of fake dragon fire.
Over 350k more signed the petition for a redo of season 8 than are against children in cages, tearing families apart, and insulin price hikes.Quote:

Great British Railway Journeys
A BBC documentary series presented by Michael Portillo. It premiered in 2010 on BBC Two, and has returned every year for a total of ten series. The series features Portillo travelling around the railway networks of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man, referring to an 1840s copy of Bradshaw's Guide, comparing how the various destinations have changed since Victorian times.
Carlisle to Penrith
Joining the cracker packers of Carlisle on the factory floor, Michael really takes the biscuit as he investigates the Victorian appetite for the custard cream on his new journey through north-west Britain.
Braving a perilous descent into the only operational slate mine in England, Michael discovers a miniature railway which once hauled slate to the surface. Following in the footsteps of Victorian miners on their way to work, he steps out gingerly on to what is now Britain's only Via Ferrata - a terrifying tightrope challenge 300 feet above the Borrowdale Valley.
Windermere to Carnforth
Michael continues his journey through the Lake District where he discovers a magical world of talking rabbits, ducks, hedgehogs and mice, who have entertained children for more than 100 years. At the village home of author and illustrator Beatrix Potter, Michael learns about her legacy and her fears about the railways.
Fuelled by a Victorian energy bar, Michael presses on to Brantwood, home of the Victorian art critic John Ruskin. He finishes with a brief encounter at Carnforth.
The last couple episodes of Warrior have made me think that Jason Tobin has for charisma, talent, and star potential than Andrew Koji. Thoughts?
