Not only did it not feel like Star Trek it was just terribly written and poorly plotted. Not impressed, but not surprised. I've got 2 episodes left I'm not a star trek fan (seen all the films but none of the TV shows) Its OK, not must watch, just kind of plods along with a fair bit of boring stuff and then at times some good action scenes Still think it's better than the mandalorian (production wise it's far far better which seeing as the mandalorian is the launch title for Disney + reflects even worse on it imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very amusing indeed and Steve Buscemi nails it playing God who's gone to seed. Wasn’t sure at first, but after 2/3 episodes, started to really like it. Daniel Radcliffe is really good in it. I’m loving Avenue 5 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It's a bit like Rage against the machine, it's come back and everyone seems to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Cheers VT'ers for the recommendation of Tiger King. Watched all 7 episodes earlier on Netflix and well worth watching. Some seriously odd people on that series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted March 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 28, 2020 Finished The Stranger last night. Was quite gripping but ultimately a bit disappointing and some of the tension was lost at times when the characters made unbelievable decisions/actions. I also swear that whoever owns the carwash in Cedarfield must be making a packet. Debating what to watch next. I love Better Call Saul but might wait for the end of the series. I think I heard there was an official season 1-4 recap, but I'm quite reluctant to search for it in case I see any spoilers. Anyone have a link? So while I'm waiting for that it's possibly Ozark (the wife doesn't really fancy it though), this Tiger King thing (but I'm concerned I'll be uncomfortable with the animal cruelty thing as has been mentioned) or Dark - anyone watched that? Great to see Killing Eve is back soon, too. Loves me a bit of Villanelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Tiger King is brilliant The big cats is a side show, it's like a group of producers sat there and thought how do we make a documentary about how bat shit crazy stupid Americans are, the gun stuff has been done, so has Racism, jesus, healthcare... And someone had the brilliant idea of the big cat ownership... And these **** are proper batshit crazy, I did think at one point I bet Louis is disappointed he never found these guys out but reading up on it it looks like he does have an episode on them (called beware of the tiger on Netflix) Its not as good as making a murderer but these guys are stupider and it's every bit as mad in a different way (but it doesn't get its hooks in to you in the same way, there's no goodie or villain that I felt anything for, they're all **** clearings in the woods) I didn't think the cat treatment stuff was off putting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched 3 episodes so far and it's bonkers !!! What it is showing to me is, and no offense to any of our American VTers but jeez, America is a screwed up nation. Such a bizarre situation and gripping viewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching castle rock which is pretty good, and finished a show called Party Down which is an awesome, if largely unknown comedy show starring Adam Scott and Lizzy caplan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So took the plunge and purchased due to the lockdown. Starting watching Sex Education. It’s decent. Although I wish my school was as promiscuous when I was there. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure some did stuff but nothing like that. Also it’s a very American school in an English setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted March 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2020 Just finished Tiger King. Wow. I am just amazed. If that had been fictional I'd have written it off as too ludicrous to be believable. I mean, even Spinal Tap doesn't reach the levels of preposterousness that Tiger King so effortless scaled. As previously stated, every single person in this appears to be a bad guy of some sort, aside from a couple of the zoo keeping staff. But no doubt season 2 will have a bunch of plot twists to come (and I wouldn't be surprised to see a sequel in a few years) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Finally watched Series 1 of Killing Eve , passed the binge watch test as i watched it all in one go if i was going to be murdered by anyone then I think I’d like it to be Jodie Comer , that smile means I’d probably forgive her as she was hacking me to pieces few work things tomorrow and then can binge series 2 Edited March 30, 2020 by tonyh29 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
