Savage Henry Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I’ve been watching the Hannibal films which are class. Is the TV series worth a go?It’s pretty good. Second series loses focus markedly and isn’t up to the same standards, and the third season tags on an extended ending tying in with the books and which is basically the film scene-for-scene, and which isn’t needed and which was obviously tagged on when they knew it wasn’t being given another series. Great, but with some flaws.The lead acting is magnificent, and the support cast is fine. Manhunter remains the best of the Lecter stuff, in my opinion. There’s a lot of seriously ropey crime dramas, but Hannibal is better than most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar note, I'm hugely enjoying Mindhunter on Netflix just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Watched the first episode and thought it was a total mess and just moved onto Russian Doll, which was NOT a mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Came on this thread to tell everyone about a fucked up documentary I'd watched, turns out I'm about a week too late, truly unbelievable, was this how naive people were in small town 70s America? Watched it on my own last week, my missus wanted to see it so sat down to watch it last night but she wanted to switch it off at the end as she was fuming. Ended up watching Derry Girls instead, have to admit I'm a big fan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Just watched abducted in plain sight. Had to keep reminding myself it wasn’t a spoof, as I couldn’t actually believe what I was seeing. This 40 year old guy was blatantly in love with and abusing their 12 year old daughter. The dad decides to give him a tug in the car and the mum starts riding him. Also, he convinced them that his therapist said he should sleep in their daughters bed to help cure his “illness”. Fucked up from start to finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Worst part for me was his nine visits after the first abduction, with the two overnight stays. He was clearly let in to do that. Which kinda fits with how fucked the parents were in all of this. The whole thing is such a horrible mess of a situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Went through F is for Family in the last few weeks. Don't really like Bill Burr as a stand up comedian but his character in that had me in stitches. Watched the Fyre documentary as well. Would echo the sentiments elsewhere and can't help but feel the folk who were ripped off largely deserved it. Now onto Sex Education. 2 episodes in. Amusing but not funny, and Gillian Anderson still has it, even if it is now slightly Paula Yatesy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a few episodes to get me into it, but after that I found it too easy to rattle through them. I think my favourite was along the lines of: "If I started building walls now and didn’t stop for the next ten years there still wouldn’t be enough of them to fuckin put you through" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had watched the series, which led me to his stand-up and couldn’t believe how different my thoughts on the two are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a bit of his stand up stuff in the past and it put me off watching this. Boy in work kept telling me it was worth watching and I eventually gave in. Glad I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a real lull in series four/five. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
