morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Furious starts off fresh and exciting but in its last three episodes the show becomes an endless parade of exposition scenes interrupted by the occasional raunchy joke or violent outburst.

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 05/08/2026It really doesn’t have to be different. A large part of why the Bond franchise is so beloved across generations is that its staples are consistent and instantly recognizable.
