choffer Posted September 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2016 Seems I'm behind everyone else with Stranger Things. Only started it tonight and already four episodes in. I've always struggled with horror but this one has really got me. First time I've had shivers down the spine since the scene behind Winkies in Mulholland Drive. Totally gripped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 finally finished Narcos and while its good mainly due to Wagner Moura presence I do think it is very overrated. a lot of the acting was wooden especially by some of the main characters like Murphy. also it was a story that could have been wrapped up in one extended season instead of bringing in boring side stories like Limon as I said Moura deserves a number of awards for his role as a lesser actor would have made it worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot decide which season I prefer, both of the highest quality. "you gotta stop stabbin him" is one of my favourite lines. It is brilliant TV, episode 9 being one of the best hours of television I've ever watched. The last episode though? Totally pointless and a letdown. Not enough to ruin the season for me though, or to stop me recommending it to others, it was just unnecessary. I realise it must be incredibly hard to tell a story well within a specified set of episodes and to try to get the balance of pace just right though, so I'll let it off. 10 hours ago, Zatman said: finally finished Narcos and while its good mainly due to Wagner Moura presence I do think it is very overrated. a lot of the acting was wooden especially by some of the main characters like Murphy. also it was a story that could have been wrapped up in one extended season instead of bringing in boring side stories like Limon as I said Moura deserves a number of awards for his role as a lesser actor would have made it worse Moura was superb, as was Pedro Pascal (who I've a bit of a man crush on ever since his spell in Game of Thrones) but I think you're being a bit harsh on Boyd Holbrook. I think he was fine and has a good voice for narration, I just think his character was pretty plain compared to the other lead's. His whole rage thing and marital problems that weren't really problems were kinda blink-and-you-miss-it and after that he was pretty anonymous and was just along for the ride. Not the actor's fault, imo. I don't think the show is overrated either. I was hooked from start to finish and ploughed through both seasons inside a week. Very good TV, especially considering the story was somewhat constrained by the fact it's based on a true story.

V01 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Macguyver reboot - DO NOT BOTHER Exorcist reboot - pretty good. Lethal Weapon reboot - has potential, a little corny but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 "Designated Survivor" S01E01 Really enjoyed episode 1. Basically all of the Senate + Congress is blown up. There is always 1 who is kept separate so this person becomes the president but he is only the Housing Secretary. 8/10. IMDB LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exorcist can still go either way, but the start was very intriguing. Made me want to go and re-watch the original. Macgyver was similar to Scorpion in just about every way, I thought. Not for me.

V01 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Scorpion is watchably corny at least, MacGuyver's has no redeeming qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Zoomed through Narcos in about a week (watched it on my telly in my front room). Very enjoyable, I know a lot of it is inaccurate but it's amazing that a villain like Pablo Escobar even existed in real life.

darrenm Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Most of it is very accurate. His son came up with a list of inaccuracies that weren't much of a big deal at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling @Chindie Probably not. I haven't seen it obviously but the Netflix shows have so far had fairly inconsequential cross overs - a recurring supporting character, and some references is about it. Luke is a supporting character in Jessica Jones but I doubt much that happens there will affect his solo show. Of course you should watch them anyway because they're great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Agree you should watch them because they're great luke cage looks like his set up story (although they could use flashbacks) which means that it will be before Jessica Jones, my question would be if they can keep all 4 series going and the defenders or if they'll merge them, the obvious one being cage and Jones but it sounds like using Harlem as the setting as a great use of a hip hop soundtrack they've managed to make Luke cage tonally different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
