TV Show Box Sets

[Pjay]

I liked the episode where the world was obsessed with that star rating shit.

Reminded me of my sister, she'd do most anything for a fucking like on facebook.

Yeah, Black Mirror is pretty good.

Am watching frontier on Netflix

Set in early american west before cowboys

Seems enough bloodshed and killing

Has bosoms but no nipples yet

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - hatstand/10

A bunch of random things happen, or don't happen, randomly acted, or not acted, by a random range of talent, or not talent, headed up by a mincing metrosexual who I'd like to randomly sledgehammer in the face. Note to Septic casting directors: not all foppish Englishmen are Matt Smith. Oh, and Frodo Faggins wanders around with that exact same horror-constipation expression plastered on on his face that he used for all 27 hours of Lord of the Rings. He'd catch the hammer on the backswing.

I'm sure it's all jolly witty and clever when the spaghetti is finally knitted, but since I'm given no reason to care about any of the characters, why would I bother putting in the time to find out?

Falling Skies (seasons 1 to 5) kill-them-all / 10

After hating on this pretty hard to begin with for being cardboard characters fighting a shiny-hair-unlimited-ammo-post-apocalyptic war against Bug Eyed Monsters, I dipped back into it, and to my surprise found myself sticking with it.

It's not brilliant, it won't change your view of the world, but it is well made, consistent and determined. They stuck with the characters and the theme and have done a decent job of it. Sure, it's just humans-vs-BEMs, but where's the harm in that? I actually like that the couple of times that they've done Walking Dead-esque "Ah hah, but aren't humans the real monsters?" arcs, that it turns out that no, the real monsters are the real monsters.

There's some decent totty from teeny to milfy, and credit to them for actually having a couple of teen actors mature on set with a surprisingly low quotient of angst.

Not a huge amount of depth, but a satisfying amount of bugsplat.

I know this is boxsets and it's only recently started, but: 'APB'.
Advertised at the end of '24 Legacy', which it's self is at least watchable...

No, no no.

It's like they got a middle aged middle classed suburban house wife who has trouble using an iphone and considers a yoga class their one 'life experience' and asked about technology, policing and 'downtown' american cities. Don't expecting acting or a plot to make up for that.

Preacher
Amazon series.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5016504/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Not finished watching it yet,and looking forward to a 2nd series.

Anyone watching Legion?
It's Marvel, so I gave it a shot. It's a headfuck, but it seems to be coming together rather well.

My brain hurts just thinking about it.

Scoring 8.8 on IMDB which is crazy high, I'm not even sure it's good let alone great, but if this is done carefully, it could become something wonderful.

I've been watching Legion - nicely presented and quite different.
Very psychological, but is it trying too hard?
Definitely worth a watch, anyway.

22/11/63 - Time travel meets JFK assassination - 4/10

Time travel was underused, the first few episodes and the final episode were good, the bit in the middle was irrelevant filler. The blonde is smoking hot.

[G]

Marvel's Iron First - it's the Green Arrow, but somehow they've somehow managed to take the one-dimensional character and plot concept and removed some dimensions of complexity from it.

[M.C]

Is every film going to be made into a series now? I watched an episode of Snatch and it was just awful.

[Rogerborg]

[M.C]

The magical wank fist guy's like a character from Zoolander. Yeah it's not working for me, story seems all over the place. Wasted too much time recently watching stuff in the hope it gets better.

[grr666]

Finished Breaking Bad last week. A little predicatable at the end. I thought it let the viewer into too much as it
progressed which kind of spoilt it for me a bit. Not enough twists or shock events for me.

Huh, I loved the grinding inevitability of it. It was never going to be a fairytale, and I felt that they drove it all the way off the cliff with both feet mashing the accelerator.

Gutted that Black Sails is now over after 4 seasons.

Walking dead just ended with the season finale (until season 48 starts or whatever it's on), which was erm... interesting.

[DrDonnyBrago]

Banshee - 7/10

Recently released crim looks for his partner in crime who is on the run from a dude they robbed, finds her in a small town. New sheriff in town gets capped, crim takes his place. Punching, kicking and many boobs ensue.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Two series down, two to go.

I think Negan's the best character in the whole series Rick or Carole being bad ass killers just isn't believable, Negan ruling by fear and how he's always on the edge is IMO. I agree the garbage dwellers are a weird addition, and how Rick decided to randomly trust them.

Think it was in one of Charlie Brookers programs he explained why series' tend to ebb and flow, the budget has to last so they can't have lots of action in every episode, with TWD they tend to have half a dull season and then it kicks off (except season 2 which was all dull).

Or like black sails where they seemed spunk the entire budget on the season 2 finale

[Pjay]

I just don't think he'd last long. I am 100% sure I'd have popped a cap in him, just being around him for 20 mins. You can't be having loose cannons in a world like that. Of course you need leadership, but the King guy pulls it all off so much better.

[M.C]

I'd have left the f'ing kingdom and gone work for Negan to get away from the king I dunno, it's rare to want to root for the bad guy, I'm happy he didn't die in the finale even though the whole thing was extremely contrived.

iZombie S3 just hit Netflix. Episodically. I thought we were done with this prehistoric ritual teasing.
