die hard doonhamer Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Just finished binge watching the US version of Shameless. Thoroughly enjoyed it, I have to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always going to be a mini series and it told the story just fine. It had a bit of a small TV show feel to it but it was perfectly fine. Only thing I'd have changed is having much, much more Minnie Driver. Started the first two episodes of 1899 yesterday. What the f**k is going on? Feels like the same people that created Dark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like the same people that created Dark. It is the same people. The "what the f**k is going on?!" doesn't really go away throughout tbh. It took me until about Ep 5 to come up with some sort of theory of what's going on. In the end I got two things right but didn't get close to figuring out any details. Absolute head scratcher for me. Really enjoyed it though and was content with the ending. It can finish there but at the same time it's left it open for a return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Eventually catching up on Stranger Things after persuading the wife that the kids can watch a 15. Halfway through s4 and still great. The Volcano : rescue from Whakaari was a fascinating but fairly upsetting watch. Sandman. Episode one seemed like about four hours of ponderous shite so won't be continuing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall the last time I was completely fizzing for almost a whole episode of tv. Shows how corrupt the American judicial system was (still is!). Rather than examine the evidence and look for who it matches, they picked these boys and tried to work what little evidence they had around them. Hard to discuss it without spoilers but I liked the wee touch right at the end. Interesting that as the boys aged so did the actors except Jharrel Jerome. I thought he was absolutely outstanding and will give the actors of Chernobyl a serious run for their money in the awards. Don't know how I missed When They See Us at the time it came out as I really like these type of true life docs/mini series. Watched it all yesterday and as above I was raging at the injustice against the Central Park Five especially when Trump was shown spouting his racist bile. The lives of five young men and their families ruined because of the ultra right US law enforcement/court system. Some consolation that they all seem to have come out the other end with better lives and are helping others because of their experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Read the suggestion of Wednesday on this thread and binge-watched it today as the rain made going out a bad option. It was superb, really enjoyed it, so thanks for the suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) Second season of Alice in Borderland has dropped. picked right up where it left last time. Really good watch. edit - Finished it last night, brought it to a conclusion... or has it.. Guess it depends on viewing figures. Although someone reporting it will be bloodier than ever (even though no one official has said anything about a possible season 3) Edited December 30, 2022 by steelmen -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Finished Alice in Borderland S2 as well. I think they should end it there but would consider watching a 3rd season to see what the writers can come up with themselves (or recreate from the spin off manga). Spoiler It was decent but some the "movie logic" was a bit off putting. Seeing the King of Spades murder everyone else that he sees for the entire season but miss the main characters every time he shot was irritating. That drives me mad. At least have them constantly in cover or something. They were just running right in front of him. Then when they do finally meet up close in the alleyway they all somehow survive shots/multiple stabbings at point blank range for long enough to get back to reality. An entertaining show but with some flaws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Yeah was just coming on to post about 1899 being cancelled. Netflix are absolutely ruthless now. Glad I only had it on the backlog. Unless something is a big franchise or known quantity it actually puts me off watching Netflix stuff now as it seems inevitable to be cancelled within a maximum of 3 seasons without being resolved. Most don't even make it that far as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was only a one season thing to start with but It is set up to keep going so hope it doesnt get cancelled 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Just watched the first episode of Copenhagen Cowboy and it's already shattered me. There's only 6 episodes so no bingeing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18May1991 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Ah. Wasn’t aware of that. I just watched it in the order it streamed for me. Last episode tonight. Watched the Pink episode last night - set 6 months after the heist - reckon I would have been annoyed to see that any earner as it gives quite a lot of finality and wouldn’t have made much sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellboy1991 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The Witcher : Blood Origin is some god awful television. Abysmal casting, wooden acting and terrible CGI. Cannot believe Michelle Yeoh has linked herself with this mince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
