BOF Posted January 17, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 17, 2022 Very late to the Archer party but enjoying it very much. Right up my street. The best thing about being late to it is all the seasons you get to binge through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing about being late to it is all the seasons you get to binge through Archer is brilliant. It gets a little less so and somewhat repetitive around season 8 but definitely still worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Not watched season 3 of After Life yet but I will get to it at some point. I do like After Life but what kinda makes me not like it a little bit is the way Ricky Gervais' fanboys go on about it on Twitter like it is the best comedy/show ever created! It is average at best. I have said before on here that it is no where near as good as The Office or Extras 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yeah, I'm now excited to watch The Expanse. Love sci-fi but Star Wars aside it always seems to be terrible on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_75 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I liked After Life S1 & 2 (yet to watch S3), but the amount of guff on Twitter this morning with people jizzing themselves over it seems to be a bit OTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so, it’s watchable at best and other times totally unwatchable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bielesibub Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 In my covid state, have just managed to watch ep1 of Archive 81 on Netflix, I think it seems alright. Should I carry on? will the grand reveal after how ever many hours be a real let down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Completed After Life, decent. The best thing about it is Kath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said before on here that it is no where near as good as The Office or Extras I disagree, i thought the first two series’ were as close to immaculate television as I’ve seen, and I’m not a Gervais fanboy. Absolute perfect blend of tears and laughter, incredibly poignant and hilarious. Just finished series 3 and I’m not sure it added as much as I hoped it would to the overall story, still well done but not as impactful IMO.

It’s bloody brilliant, and absolutely terrifying! If you do watch, don’t google it or get any spoils as it’s all about the tension building. I thought it was decent until about midway through, then it all got a bit shite, sorry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was good but got lost up its own ass during long dialogues and they seemed to happen about 3 times an episode, it was way too thick in places IGN gave it tv show of the year I think, it wasn't that good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to be sorry dude! FWIW I agree, the second half of the show was weaker. Still thought it was great though. @villa4europe I liked the longer dialogues, it felt odd because you don’t get that in tv much. Everything these days has to be short and punchy and distilled down, so I liked it because it felt more real… people don’t really talk like that, but it felt less ‘edited’ I really liked the show but not sure it was the best tv show of the year. It’s up there imo though Edited January 18, 2022 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 6 or 7 episodes into season 1 of Justified. I like it. I like the characters, however, i'm not hooked yet. Something just not clicking. I'll stick with it. I preferred the Bosch style - one main story/case throughout a whole season as opposed to new self contained stories every week (yes, there is a background story arc as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2022 Rewatched Chernobyl over the last few days (why not make the most depressing week of the year more depressing?). It's still an astounding piece of work. On a rewatch the scene that really stood out was the burial. Obviously there's the emotion there inherent in the event, but theres more to it. There's deep horror in it. This event has not only killed these men. It has removed them from their humanity, entirely. They cannot be laid to rest as any other person. They cannot be interred in sacred ground. They cannot return to the earth. They are forever excluded from the normal way of things. Chernobyl made them, even in death, pariah from the world. And there's something deeply unsettling about that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her outfit when she goes to laughing yoga made me sit up and take notice as for the show , it’s more Gervais comedy by numbers , don’t get me wrong I enjoyed Afterlife but he’s recycling the same comedy more times than Marge Simpsons Chanel suit… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Started Dopesick on Disney last night, Katheryn Winnick good as always, very entertaining from the get go, 20 minutes in and I'm thinking this is nothing like I was expecting. Must be showing the effects on crime to kick it off. Turns out I'm watching Big Sky, pressed the wrong show, ha. Anyway, watched episode 1 of Big Sky, very entertaining. Any knowledge, carry on or ditch it? Watched ep1 Dopesick this morning , very good start, will blast through this in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
