The female assassin character is deliciously creepy and funny in same moment. Yeah, I started to fancy her . I googled the actress though and she's pretty...so I'm not a freak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Going through Breaking Bad for the fourth time ,and it still as me riveted. As there ever been a better metamorphosis, on screen, than Walter Whites . And you just have to love Hank Schrader if only he was as smart as he his funny . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started superbly, I wasn't sure of NPH's Count Olaf at first but his disguised characters were superb. It started brilliantly and got better. Patrick Warburton as Lemony Snicket is sublime. Watch it. On Episode 3, just not feeling it. It's like a storyboard fell into the screen without any of the other bits thought about. It's like a Ronald Dahl story without the good bits.

Paddywhack Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've just finished The OA. Spoiler Firstly, I'm pretty sure this story could have fit in to a long film, not 8 episodes of weirdly varying lengths. But you were all right, I feel cheated, what a ridiculous ending. I really thought that last episode would tie it all together and make sense of it all, but it seems they had no idea where it was going after all. I've just read that they're considering making more and there 'may' be a season 2...but that's ridiculous! If it doesn't happen then it'll never be explained and it'll be left with the 'was it all true?' ending, but if it does happen, surely it'll have to be explained and there'd be a definitive answer. So how can't they know, that doesn't make sense to me. oh and the movements 5/10, don't bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was almost going to give up on it about 3/4 way but thought I may as well finish it now I've come this far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I'm enjoying it as much. But granted only on episode 3 now I've seen this as well as Jessica jones amy eagerly waiting defenders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 plotlines going on and 1 is just weaker than the other. But as a D1 says the high points are really good. The 'corridor fight' is great (literally the only downside is more obvious fakery in their making it look like a single take) and there's a bunch of other great moments. I also have a inbuilt dislike of a character they introduce so I am somewhat biased, not helped by not rating the performance at all. Only a few weeks until the series that should set up the Defenders, Iron Fist. Surprised there's not been another trailer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it enough, it reminds me of Turn, which I really liked. Frontier jumps around a lot and the characters lack depth, but it's early days yet. If you started Quarry you won't be disappointed.

theboyangel Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 With the third season finally being shown this year, I've started to watch Twin Peaks. i didn't catch it when it was originally shown in 1990/1991 so got hold of the box set. really enjoyed the pilot/1st episode but my god it looks so dated!! Will plough through the series over next few weeks. Just about to finish Sons of Anarchy, with only the last episode to go. Have to say, I've enjoyed most of it but the final series has been a little OTT (compared to the already exaggerated events of previous seasons) and I'll be glad when it's done.

Keep us updated, it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts (minus the dated-ness, which yes is pretty painful at times), especially what the show becomes after the 'reveal'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, totally oblivious to the reveal (but aware there is one) so looking forward to getting through it. V01 - sounds typically David lynch! Nothing ever makes much sense with him at the helm!!!

villa4europe Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 call the midwife beat peaky blinders and stranger things for best period drama its just been a very strange awards show, dont usually watch them if im honest, pretty every award is shit, an online public vote for awards is just daft IMO, the demographic that will actually vote isnt very representative, its a massive pissing contest much like music im not sure if we actually have a reputable tv awards, from what i can remember even the BAFTAs are a bit suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
