S2 E9. It's all right, I just keep thinking of ways they could have increased the impact of scenes.
Also, I'm not invested in any of the characters. The only one that was remotely interesting, the writers decided to have go nuts over the course of about 20 minutes, for no reason at all that I could see other than to drive the story. That's piss poor writing.
And because I'm all racist and that, I could really do without the Meh-hee-can relocation.

It's like the ADHD version of Walking Dead, with added "teen" angst. I'm going to stick with it now that I've put my tip in, I just wouldn't recommend pulling out of something that you're already enjoying. |
What series are you on? The 3rd seems to be bigger budget, my beef with it is that they keep killing off the good characters and keeping the annoying ones alive, with a few rather obvious exceptions*. What I will say is if you're going to watch it you have to get past the first series, shit only really hits the fan at the end of it (when the outbreak properly starts).
*if you don't see them ripped apart by zombies, no matter how improbable, they've probably survived |
I thought the first season was OK, but I'm really enjoying season 2 on Amazon Prime It'd be quite interesting if they headed back over the border into Texas, as you'd imagine a relatively sparsely populated area with lots of guns would fare better than the east and west coasts |

I doubt it, it seems that they're firmly ensconced in Meh-hee-co. What I am sure of is that whatever happens will be driven by the needs of the plot and (the budget) rather than the characters. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

American Gods
Finally all dropped on Amazon, so binge ahoy.
It's got a lot of cocks in it, let's make no mistake about that. Flaccid, erect, Ian McShane (although not Ian McShane's cock, yet).
Quite enjoying it though. Slow, but stylish, quirky but intense, well cast and acted, and made with a lot of skill and care.
And cocks. A sausage factory full of cocks. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I'm on EP2 of it, will watch another episode tonight... it's a strange one for sure, still not sure what's going on but it's very cinematic and intriguing to watch.

Superb. Watched the finale this week. Bonkers and beautiful.
The cock count drops off as the series progresses and SPOILER ALERT you don't get to see Lovejoy's willy. Or his Tinker Dill
Brilliant series and series 2 is coming. ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

GLOW (Netflix, 10x30min) 7/10
I never thought I'd watch such tv show, but after the trailer I just went through the whole season. A comedy/drama tv show about women (mostly failed actresses and strange individuals) starting their own wrestling show in 80's, USA. Typical ''from zero to hero'' type of story, decently made, comedy bits were spot on, with some surprising nudity.

iZombie (season 3)
Yup, still enjoying it. It shuffles a nice line between frothy and murdery. The peachy Rose McIver has a surprisingly decent acting range and gets the chance to exercise a fair bit of it. All of the cast are appealing, the title puns come shtick and fast, and the story goes surprisingly big at the end of the season.
Very hard not to like.

The Expanse. 8/10
I'm not normally one for box sets, but a mate has given me the first 2 series on USB stick.
It's a sci-fi about 200 years into the future and centres around "Belters" who live on stations in the Asteroid belt mining ice and minerals for the Earthers. Air and water are very rare resources and rationed very strictly away from Earth.
It's quite dark and at 4 episodes in, there have been plenty of plot twists about who the baddies are. There are Marsians and Earth on the verge of war, with OPA (a kind of terrorist movement), seemingly trying to provoke them into it.
The best character is a non nonsense detective on the main space station, who's trying to uncover the whole story. A very dark character in a very rough place.
Worth a watch.

She's no Melissa McBride, that's for sure. I'm only approving of the age range, not the character or the performance.
Anyway:
Better Call Saul season 3
Usually I get well into a season before I'll mention it, but 2 episodes in and merciful allah, this is slow going. Minimal dialog, far too many drawn out scenes. Yes, beautifully shot and well acted, but I'd like some more meat on the lovely bones. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Balls to watching it once-a-week though. Up with this I will not put.
Oh, Better Call Saul has picked up. Michael McKean just knocks it out of the park. Dammit, I'm hooked again. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I've got a new serieses to watch too:
Street outlaws.
It's one of many likes on Quest channel and I've heard it described as the worst show on tv and total utter trash. Guess it's right up my street then. |
