Agreed. I saw it recently and the lead was better than him but most of the rest were not. The biggest falloff was Jefferson/Lafayette and Burr.1. Hamilton is amazing.

After reliving on Friday I've spent several hours exploring deeper meanings in the lyrics at genius. Click on just about any line from any song in the show for annotations. If you think LMM was brilliant before doing this, just you wait.Hamilton is amazing
I’ve heard this from other people too and there is truth in it. He’s certainly not the performer that Daveed Diggs is; Leslie Odom, Jr. is a better actor and he and Philippa Soo and Renee Elise Goldsberry are all better singers.1. Hamilton is amazing.
2. Lin-Manuel Miranda is the weak link in the cast.
Interesting. Part of it could just be different people, different reactions, or it could be difference between stage and TV (even if it is filmed stage). But I thought he lacked presence and even on rap numbers like "My Shot" I thought he was vocally overshadowed by his cast members. And FWIW, I've listened to the cast album considerably and did not notice this, which made me think they carefully augmented him in studio.That said, he does bring a lot to the role. I’ve been lucky enough to see the show on Broadway with the original cast and a couple years later with their replacements. The person playing Hamilton was a much better singer and a smoother actor. However, he couldn’t rap nearly as well as LMM. Plus, LMM has a real charisma and presence that served him very well on stage, and I don’t think it translated as well on screen.
Have you been able to see all three seasons??!?! Well written plot and story from my POV, highly recommend to everyone. Season 3 was just released and my gf and I finished it last night. Incredibly well written story and actually is able to combine numerous time travelling lines and bring them all together. I'm very happy with how most items played out. I will need to rewatch it again to make sure, but I think it all comes together across all three seasons, they weren't added and mashed in an oh-shit-last-minute way. The story was meant to be three seasons, it was made into three seasons, and three seasons are all it needs. No more, no less.I just finished Dark on NFLX. I enjoyed it. It kind of has a thriller/mystery story going episode to episode and makes you wonder whats going on and who is behind it; releasing the information in drips while developing the charecters. It's in german with dubs. I can't speak to the dubbing quality as i turned it off and went with subs as i usually do.
I really liked the interweaving of characters lives past & present within this little forest town. You get to see main characters as they were as teenagers then how their choices lead them to be who they are in their adult lives. You get to see the present day elderly as they were being the parents to the main cast and how their actions perpetuate the issues currently going on.
I really pull for all of the characters to be okay despite the decision they make. No one is inherently evil they are all relatable as what you'd expect normal people to do despite the sometimes fantasy things going on around them. And I love the grim overtones going on throughout the show. I don't know why; I just do. Feels like what i'd expect living in a tiny german forest town where everyone knows everyone.
My only issue is the whole story is set up upon a time paradox, but I let it go and let myself enjoy the story as it was being told despite not being logically able to have started.
As the season was drawing to a close it becomes apparent that all of the characters which were negatively effected and aware of the time travel were acting in ways that they thought would break the chain, but in actuality were the actions which perpetuate the cycle. I loved that! If only the show would have ended such that the first scenes play out again to tell the viewer they are locked in a never ending cycle..... oh man that would have left my head spinning and allowed me to sit and contemplate the sadness of the show.
Instead you get what I think happens as follows: this script is a writers beloved tragedy that they worked on for many years before finally polishing enough to pitch to a studio. The producers loved it and bought the script, on one condition, that instead of wrapping up the story in one season they get to tweak the ending to allow for future seasons should the show become a success. And now that it happened and the show gets renewed for a 2nd season, some shmuck writers are going to be hired to slap together some non-sense in 6 month with little thought, overused story tropes, glaring plot holes and unnecessary inter-character romance that don't further the story on at all but add "drama". I mean, FFS, the season ended with a character being shipped to some terminator-esque dystopian future. Blah, its like that exact scene is where the studio gashes open the potential perfect ending to create the cliffhanger extension it needed to suck the soul from the original creators intended message.

I really can't recommend the show enough. As long as you are able to stand watching a show with dubs, this is an incredible watch. If you can't stand dubs, then take the next year or two to learn German and then watch the show in its native German.
I think the show brings that up but off the top of my head I cannot say. You would be correct in that assumption. I guess I will have to do a deep dive into the show and see if the "& space" part of that is brought up.I just read something that ruined the idea of time travel for me. You actually need a machine that will both transport you through time AND space. If you just went back in time, the Earth and even our solar system would be in a completely different location than it is right now. You'd be transported to the void of space. No one talks about that do they.

It once in a blue moon does get mentioned in the occasional hard science fiction book but generally you're right in that it's pretty much ignored. Except for Doctor Who, of course. The Doctor has a TARDIS, which stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. See? (Almost) explicitly mentioned! And half the time they end up in the wrong time and/or place anyway, so there's that, too. Which is half the fun.I just read something that ruined the idea of time travel for me.

i was up with season two, didn't notice the third season was out. I watch in subs, always do. I prefer to hear how the actors wanted it to sound.

I always think that when I look at someones bio and was like oh where was he born.... like say the person is important in NYC culture and then his bio says he was born in kansas, im like oh thats a let down that he wasn't born in nyc and was a lifer.... then i think, so what, his X Y Z coordinate of his birth is millllllllllllion billllions of miles away....... then i get back into physics and inertial frame of refrence and try to conceptualize how the universe could be a 4d space imprinted in a 3d surface or something like that and my head gets fried and i go back to playing pokemon and pretending im 14yo again and nothing matters.I just read something that ruined the idea of time travel for me.
