Tyrant (FX show)

Anyone watching this show? It's three episodes in and it's pretty interesting so far. I am definitely enjoying it.

Also, I saw this article yesterday about how they had to move the shooting to Turkey due to the turmoil in the Middle East:

    Yep, I've been watching and sharing my thoughts in the television thread. Didn't start a topic because I never know when a good time to do so for a new show is.

    Definitely enjoying it as well.
    I think things are really going to gain a lot of steam now.

    I've really enjoyed it so far. Not mind-blowing or anything yet but the acting is very very good.

    The woman who plays Jamal's wife might be one of the hottest chicks I've ever seen.

    Also, his Father dies while he's over there so his brother takes over as dictator and the Dr. decides to stay and help his brother run the country.

    Well, I didn't really want to give that away if he was going to watch from episode one.

    I wouldn't have watched it based on what you said episode 1 spoilers aren't so bad.

    Thanks though for being mindful.

    I didn't give anything away that's not covered in the pre-show recap they show before every episode.

    Well that's not necessarily a good outline some of the biggest spoilers are in those, but like I said 3 episodes in while it's just setting up it's fine. I wouldn't have had interest had you not said that though so thanks. May try to catch up on demand.

    Yeah, shit is gonna start going down between Barry and Jamal I think. They keep hinting at the idea of Barry being like his father and that could go either way.

    This week's episode was awesome. They really upped the game. That last scene with the president walking down the hall after what he did gave me goosebumps. This is going to be one awesome show. I can totally see the president killing his brother's wife and this getting uber personal.

    (I don't know any of their names because I can't understand the Arabic.)

    Last night was awesome. Crazy how good this show is. Wasn't expecting it to be THIS good.

    Also, can we have an episode where Jamal keeps his shirt on and we don't have to see that bear of a chest/back he has. I feel so bad for all those beautiful actresses he rubs that fur on.

    Would be sweet to be a dictator. Both his wife and his slam piece were smoking.

    Last night wasn't my favorite. Kinda felt like they were trying too hard. Gonna be interesting though. Really setup the rest of the show. Looked like it's taking a Breaking Bad approach with the whole building an empire/power-lust desire.

    They're setting this show up for a great finish to the season. You can tell something is about to break.

    I'm like 3 behind. Jamal just killed that dude. Good stuff.

    I've been trying to keep up with the Bridge, the Strain, and Tyrant simultaneously which has just gotten me behind on all 3, I'm going to just binge on Tyrant from here on out I think.
