CAWJames Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Now into episode 7 of Watchmen, and after a rocky world building start, absolutely loving it! Well worth a view.
Bill8 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Just finished Series 2 of Britannia... really looking forward to the third!!!
mole Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Just finished Series 2 of Britannia... really looking forward to the third!!! It's pretty darn good ain't it?
Bill8 Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 It's pretty darn good ain't it? They've got a brilliant cast, such good acting!
elsiegee40 Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Finally managed to get on with Good Omens last night. Four out of six episodes done and I am thoroughly enjoying it
ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Finally managed to get on with Good Omens last night. Four out of six episodes done and I am thoroughly enjoying it What took you so long?!?! There's a kind of shocked/disapproving/disappointed face that @Dos_Box gives me when I mention that I've not seen a big tv show or film yet and I'm pretty certain I've got the same face pointing in your direction right now! 2
LeMarchand Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 What took you so long?!?! There's a kind of shocked/disapproving/disappointed face that @Dos_Box gives me when I mention that I've not seen a big tv show or film yet and I'm pretty certain I've got the same face pointing in your direction right now! Only managed a couple of eps at Château LeMarchand. We're all enjoying it - but it's a bit... cosy, so people tend to drift off to sleep at different points. Then there's no time to rewind, and we have to wait for the various catchups to take place or people have to watch the same bits multiple times.
LeMarchand Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Started in on Jack Ryan (up to S1E03)and it feels very much like "24", though a bit less prone to stringing along plot points interminably. I guess only having 8 eps means it's a bit tighter. I was really expecting the passports in the jar to be a source of tension for 2 or 3 eps rather than 1/2 of one. However, I'm a bit confused by the bit with the drone pilot. I could understand him inviting "Blanche DuBois" back, but not "Stanley Kowalski" as well, and that seemed a very specific kink that Stanley and Blanche had going on and oddly related to Drone Guy's problems.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Now that the 3rd Series of The Marvellous Mrs Maisel is out, I think we'll be giving it a binge over the coming days. Report to follow
LeMarchand Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Finally finished Swamp Thing. Been a long time since I read thee comics, but this seemed to cover the start of Alan Moore's run fairly well. Not sure why DC cancelled it after one episode (especially as the last has a post-credits sting), but neither am I founding the "Save Swamp Thing" fan club. Kevin Durand was surprisingly good as Jason Woodrue; it's the first time I've seen him act.
mavhc Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Maisel S3 is brilliant so far. Search Party s1, in the idiot millennial genre, pretty funny The Expanse S4
Norphy Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 I've tried to get into the Expanse television series but for some reason I just can't. I love the books but something about the series leaves me cold. Could be the casting, I think they cast Naomi and Miller quite well, Alex isn't bad but Amos especially is wrong. He's described as a tall, muscular, intimidating behemoth in the books, I always saw him like Jayne in Firefly, but in the television series they've got someone who, well, isn't.

As someone who came to the TV show first I never had the problem. But remember reading that they had the same issue with Bobby in Season 2. Where-by they (Amos and Bobby's actors) are actually pretty tall and heavyset, but in a cast that's predominantly over six feet they look kind-of average.
Norphy Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 The problem that I've got with Bobby in S2 is that she's a block of wood who can't act for toffee...
unixman_again Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Star Trek: Discovery - first episode last night. IMO pants.
LeMarchand Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Star Trek: Discovery - first episode last night. IMO pants. I watched the latest two "Short Treks" (the animated ones) which I wasn't holding out much hope for, but they were both kinda sweet.
CHiLL Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Batwoman - It's about on a par with some of the other CW shows and I'm enjoying it enough so far. It's a shame that Sky couldn't get the rights for the show, as UK viewers are going to miss out on ep2 of the Crisis cross-over.
mavhc Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Star Trek is like Star Wars, not actually that good, but better than the other stuff that was around when it first started
ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Star Trek: Discovery - first episode last night. IMO pants. Series one? I heard it was on E4 last night. I really rather liked it. Decent plot, nice characters and very pretty! 1
Rob_D Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Season 1 of Discovery, then the opening 2 parter is probably the weakest part of the series. TBH I thought Battle of the Binaries was terrible, but the rest of S1 was pretty good. If you're talking season 2 the first episode was one of the better ones IMO. 1
mavhc Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Wasn't only the spaceship being powered by mushrooms, but also the writers 1
ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 First episode of The Expanse Series 4 was superb! Amazon have sunk a bit of cash into it by the looks. The cast have grown more into their characters now. I'm starting to believe in Amos which was always the hardest of the four main ones. Avasarala is going around swearing like a trooper finally too. Thank goodness, the TV version of her was always a little too tame for me. Anyhow, this is a superb start to the story told in Cibola Burn. Worth a watch. 1
browolf Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 First episode of The Expanse Series 4 was superb! . I've watched it all and it's great! 1
Dos_Box Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Episode 11 of Mr Robot S4. I had to check there were still two more episodes to go as I think they could have ended it there quite successfully!
