So beautifully written and acted, with such warmth as well. I hope there's not a long wait for season 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint dave Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 12 hours ago, scottsdad said: Band of Brothers is also based on a book. I read it many years ago, and is really interesting to compare to the show. Sobel (David Schwimmer) killed himself in the 50s,not mentioned in the show. Just one book though , whereas the Pacific is based on at least two and Sledge's book isn't that great and two are autobiographical rather than biographical. So I think that the Pacific isn't as linear and the source material not as good. Don't get me wrong it's okay , just not on a level with Band of Brothers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's the UK and not just the US I think it might just be stateside. Both are HBO productions who have the deal here with Sky. In the states they've started to put some of their back catalogue on to Netflix as they control the rights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) One piece is genuinely sensational storytelling and in spite of every live action adaptation being shit, if the live action first season is even just average, it will go on to have a good run. There are no superlatives to describe how good it gets once they hit the grand line and beyond.

Arch Stanton Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 On 14/08/2023 at 16:24, Ro Sham Bo said: It was originally shown on Sky but got cancelled after 3 seasons by its network. Netflix decided to resurrect it so the 4th and final season could be made. I'm guessing Sky still hold the broadcast rights to seasons 2 and 3 and when these expire all 4 seasons will end up on Netflix. Has anyone watched all of it? Does it make sense in the end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it makes sense in the end. Unsure how I feel about the end, mind, but it does tie it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've seen the last half hour of Inglorious Basterds, it's virtually the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it's possible for such a thing to make sense, I suppose it does. Overall it's worth watching to the end but you won't be blown away by the ending or anything like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's pish I'd rather rewatch The Sopranos or BCS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Watched Painkiller recently. I know it's a dramatisation , but looking a bit more into it the opioid epidemic in the states is a scandal. Excellent work by all, especially Taylor Kitsch. Honestly between this, school shootings, racist drug policy and abortion bans (and many more things besides) Americans should be rioting every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is on Disney Plus I think(came out a few years ago). Think it's basically the same story(with a few different characters). Has Michael Keaton, Rosario Dawson, Kaitlyn Dever and Will Poulter in it. Dever is fantastic in it, and Keaton is very good as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Dopesick is better, but I won't watch it given that it is, as you say, the same story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
