I've taken up Apple TV's free 7 day trial, so I could watch Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
I'm still on Season 1, very nearly done and in the main enjoying it. Overall I'm sure anyone who's seen it would agree that more monsters couldn't harm this series and less talking.
Having said that it's not a film, so Apple have to inevitably pad it out and like all modern series its aimed at teenagers and, whilst searching for thier Dad among the titans, are often very emotional and talkative.
An olive branch to oldies like us is the great Kurt Russell, essentially the leading man in season 1 and his sci-fi chops shine through. Every time he appears I think is The Thing, Escape from New York and so on. Kurt and Kaiju are a superb combo!
To capture a younger vote Kurt's real life chiselled chinned son plays his character as a young man. Talk about role reversal! You'll know this Russell, he was the President-appointed Captain America after Steve Rogers hung up his shield before the Falcon got it.
The kaiju clock is ticking and I need to finish season 1 and begin 2, which has only just started. I've got till Wednesday night!
Are you watching Legacy of Monsters readers?
