Stevo985 Posted June 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2022 Was hoping The Boys would pick up again after the slight dip in season 2 but I’m 3 episodes into Season 3 and it’s very dull so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I'm really enjoying The Boys. That was probably the biggest "wtf" episodes of the series. Spoiler A-Train swinging from you wanting him to die to wanting him to redeem himself... was pretty cathartic seeing him drag Blue Hawk into bloody entrails on the road. At what cost to his health... doubt they'd kill him off here. Homelander licking his wounds a bit. After everything going his way and Annie going public with Vought being torpedoed... will he bring Edgar back in? Maybe send Neuman after Soldier Boy?

El Zen Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Completed up to and including series seven of my Taskmaster catch-up now. Probably the best one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it can be topped. Acasters massive indifference to Alex is also hilarious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s great but even if you’re not enjoying it I don’t think ‘dull’ would be an appropriate word, it’s anything but. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really happens apart from the odd gory set piece. I enjoy it, but I think the novelty of superheroes being dickheads only Carrie’s them so far. It’s a shadow of what it was in season 1, which was brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Didn't bother with this season of The Boys. S1 was fun, S2 less so when the novelty wore off so no interest in S3 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the novelty wears off half the fun is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It's fascinating watching how Mike deals with his grief in BCS. " You asked me to talk". Just brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Finished "Suspect" with James Nesbitt (Channel 4) - 3/10 - Such a strange series, the episodes seem 20 mins long or something. (Maybe adverts but they seem super short). - I hated it. Almost every minute of it. I don't believe any element of it as a story. Spoiler - Nothing really believable in this at all. They are having an absolute laugh, King pin drug dealer who looks 12 years old. - Made on the cheap I think, single room episodes. -Seeing dead people, never been done before. - I am not having him finding his own daughter on the slab without him realizing. - Why let him investigate it at all if its all a bit dodgy and it is his daughter. - Take as much evidence you need from anywhere in the lab. Doesn't matter, no come back on it missing either so go for it. - Leave people alone in Labs & houses so they can do whatever. -Necklaces/Jewelry never been used before in a series -Pictures in a house of the family + necklace, this has never been used before in a series. -Clue in a grainy video of something in the background like an initial or something, never done before. Its like they built it backwards, this is who did it so make it fit if you can. Garbage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep returning to James Nesbitt dramas mainly based on thinking he was great in Murphy's Law, he always disappoints. Always, even in The Missing. Since Murphy's Law, he hasnt delivered at all. That's why I didn't watch Suspect. Too many times he has been the weakest link in a TV drama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_75 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Just finished Bosch Legacy, same high quality as the previous Bosch seasons. One thing that bugs me though. Maddie Bosch as Police officer just isn't very convincing physically. Looks about 13yrs old and 8 stone, couldn't punch her way out of a paper bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I'm watching it slowly thanks to the newborn, I'll be honest and say I can barely remember anything from the first 2 series Its enjoyable though Not a clue how gerry cinnamon got the opening scene, song doesn't even fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Seat68 Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 Finished Squid Games in lightning speed for me. Fantastic, one of the best things I have watched over the last 12 months. Only negative was the absolutely appalling acting by the VIPs, everyone else was great. Loved it a lot. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
