First of all, let me say that I loved "Nobody". Bob Odenkirk is my type of actor and everything he does, given a good script is done well. Nobody was fresh and semi-realistic, in a sense and Nobody 2 started off that way. The Fast and Furious always comes to mind as an example of a movie series that starts off semi-realistic, then ends up down the XXX rabbit hole. Without providing any true spoilers, Nobody 2 was pretty good and kept to the same path until the final scene in which it lost about 2-3 instantly... at least for me. It honestly felt like two different directors decided to divvy up the start and the end.
With the obvious budget they had, they could have done much more with less. It seems as if directors always feel as they need to up the ante and reinvent the wheel, when realism is what a good majority of us want. I can't speak for all, perhaps some of you out there enjoy living in fantasy, I'm just not one of them. Unless I'm watching an actual fantasy genre movie.
My recommendation is to skip this all together if you want to keep fond memories of the first movie. Just how I wished I'd never watched the last season of Game of Thrones. However, I'll leave one last good comment. The acting was pretty decent and the stars did their jobs the best they could, given the plot.

"SEE" changed my perception of Jason Momoa and was one of the greatest shows ever put out in my honest option. I was very excited to experience this show, believing his tallent for this type of acting would either make it shine, or at least just carry it. After watching halfway through season one, I found myself getting bored. It started off strong, but many different things happened all at once... probably too many which caused it to seem cluttered with not a lot of focus on any single element. The story is very interesting and it's beautifully shot, but in general the writing is rather bland and there weren't as many war elements as I believed there should be.
No spoilers, but one single element in the show completely ruined the cultural aspects of the region when it came to war. I'll let you watch it and come to your own conclusions. Where I view "SEE" as a 10/10, I view this as a 6/10 and that may be a little generous.

We all have specific tastes on what makes a show truly great. To watch something that will consume you as you SEE the world in a different light. Not only did this experience do that for me, but it turned a previous misconception of Jason Momoa as an actor. Before this show, to me he was just another The Rock, or Vin Diesel muscle head. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there isn't skill in that, but he has that and so much more potential. It's rare to find this type that also brings a strong emotional element. After this show, I now highly regard him as an actor, as nobody else could have done a better job than he did in my option.
It's difficult to match most of my expectations of a great show, but this show and everything about it successfully succeeded in doing that and more. No spoilers here, but what I can say is that I've watched this show more times than any other show and I have a hard time rewatching anything. Minus a few characters I couldn't stand, the concept, the acting, the experience is like no other show. A big shout out to Banshee as well, as that is the only other show to have blown me away in only a few seasons.
