mavhc Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 So as a trekkie you've watched... 7+4+2 seasons of bad tv, and with 2 good episodes you're convinced they've turned it around?
Andrew_C Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Plan for tonight is to watch the musical 'War of the Worlds'. Part of the Lloyd Webber free (but please donate) scheme.
Simcfc73 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Star Trek Discovery Season 3. As much of a Trekkie that I am the first two series were so so, however the two episodes of this new series have been great! Looking forward to the new storyline [emoji846] I thought the first was good, the second average and the jury's still out for me on this one... I don't particularly like the characters. I guess I just pine for the magic of TNG as I didn't reckon much of Picard either.
LeMarchand Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 See, I never got into TNG. The three year wait for the BBC to schedule it probably didn't help. They had the rights, but apparently it was hard for them to find a slot amongst all the repeats. I also found it too moralistic (ironically, something the full time detractors of modern Trek level against DIS and PIC). Plus it had Wesley. Have really enjoyed the two new live action shows, though.
blueday Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Utopia on Prime is a bit scary.. John Cusack is cropping up in a few things like this. Also watching Battlestar Galactica as I missed it first time round. What has John Cusack done to his face, that's the scariest thing in it!
CAWJames Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Roadkill, really enjoying it. A few plot holes in the 3 episodes we have watched so far, mostly in what a minister would and wouldn't do(or be able to do). V twisty turny and quite a few avenues they can take at our point of watching into how the plot progresses.
Djmonky1 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Just finished the witcher season 1 Definitely enjoyed it looming forward to season 2 when it comes out Have just started in the animi series hellsing
LeMarchand Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Finally caught up with the last few eps of Black Mirror. Charlie Brooker definitely getting a bit less bleak. Only one I really wasn't keen on was Bandersnatch. Maybe it was the browsers I tried, but there seemed to be no indication of the meaning of the choices apart from the Netflix/PAC/Glyph one and the phone "puzzle" - so I wasn't moved to go back and try alternative choices. Apologies to Will Poulter, whose picture I kept seeing on the Netflix page and who I thought was a severe looking black lady!
thimon Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 So as a trekkie you've watched... 7+4+2 seasons of bad tv, and with 2 good episodes you're convinced they've turned it around? I'm cautiously optimistic. Too early to tell how the whole series is going to be after just 2 episodes. Always happy to give any TV series a chance.
witch Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Just been watching Disenchanted on Netflix. Seems OK All characters look like they are from Futurama (yes, I know, same people made it, but they made the Simpsons too and few of these characters look like them)
Norphy Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I tried to like Disenchanted. I really did. However there's something about it which rubs me up the wrong way. I got about 10 episodes in, realised I didn't like it very much and stopped.
mavhc Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Free Agents, 6 episode ch4 show with Stephen Mangan, Sharon Horgan, Anthony Head, Sara Pascoe
DaveTheTech Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I ahve decided to re watch teh ArrowVerse. So Arrow, Flash, Supergirl etc. Need to find where I can watch the newer programs.
Rob_D Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I ahve decided to re watch teh ArrowVerse. So Arrow, Flash, Supergirl etc. Need to find where I can watch the newer programs. You could use a VPN to spoof a US IP address and then just use the CW online on demand (whatever they call it).
Garacesh Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I tried to like Disenchanted. I really did. However there's something about it which rubs me up the wrong way. I got about 10 episodes in, realised I didn't like it very much and stopped. Yeah, same here. Couldn't put my finger on it, but it just didn't grab me in the same way Futurama did.
Dos_Box Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Just binge watched Truth Seekers last night (8 half hour episodes) and enjoyed it a lot. Not as good as the Pegg\Frost stuff with Edgar Wright, but still plenty of giggles and stuff to give you goosebumps. Edited November 3, 2020 by Dos_Box
6Foot2 Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Just binge watched Truuth Seekers last night (8 half hour episodes) and enjoyed it a lot. Not as good as the Pegg\Frost stuff with Edgar Wright, but still plenty of giggles and stuff to give you goosebumps. Yes. The ending suggested that more could follow... (No spoilers)
Dos_Box Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Yes. The ending suggested that more could follow... (No spoilers) I really do hope they get a second season out of this (and a bigger budget), but it is a very fine start.
witch Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Truth Seekers was let down by the very last episode, that should have been at least 2 episodes in my opinion. Too many things happened at once, too many things weren't explained but glossed over and the final bit was confusing (trying not to spoil for others( I did like it though
mikeprice Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Not very high brow but I often watch the 'Can't pay - we'll take it away" and similar stuff Big episode coming up 1
witch Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Not very high brow but I often watch the 'Can't pay - we'll take it away" and similar stuff Big episode coming up [ATTACH=CONFIG]59705[/ATTACH] I LOVE "Can't pay..." The guys are so compassionate and helpful - even when the clients are nasty! And I bet this one will be!
mikeprice Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 I LOVE "Can't pay..." The guys are so compassionate and helpful - even when the clients are nasty! And I bet this one will be! Problem is that I've seen most of them several times now can't believe the patience they have sometimes and the determination to keep digging laugh out loud when some lying toe rag gets their comeuppance BTW - the company (DCBL) is based near here - they have taken over sponsorship of the rugby stadium just up the road 1

Duranis Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 We have been watching Van Helsing https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80121349?source=35 on netflix. If your into the whole vampire/zombie Apocalypse thing and you have nothing else to watch it might be worth checking out. We are well into season 2 and it's pretty much just "meh". We also stopped watching "Dark" about mid way through season 3 as we just completely lost interest in it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_(TV_series) ). The first season was brilliant, really interesting, well put together time travelling sci-fi. The English voice dubbing was a bit annoying but it had enough interesting concepts to keep you hook. 2nd season kind of lost a lot of what made the first season so good and the third season felt like an entirely different program and was full of plot holes and was generally just boring.
witch Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 The Undoing on Sky Atlantic with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant. Pretty good thriller so far, despite Nicole not really being able to show any facial expression! 1
