rjw63 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Tried that ghost hunter thing that's currently number one on Netflix chart. I usually give a show an episode or two but we only lasted 18 minutes with this tripe. Switched to "Wednesday", that's much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty good, I never played the game but I like the genre. Only seen two episodes mind you. Apparently it is the most expensive TV show ever made; visually it looks cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than the Rings Of Power ? I think that's 60M a episode. Money does not guarantee quality. The breakdown was strange for Rings of Power, 58 M an episode on inclusion and diversity (In a Northern Europe setting) and the rest on the story and the actors.

There are a few articles suggesting it is among the most expensive ever made, I guess there are a few. I haven't seen Rings of Power, I initially wanted to but then when I saw a trailer and something seemed off. Perhaps it was being consistently bashed over the head with inclusion and diversity as you mentioned! Visually I think The Last of Us looks very good; would they achieve the same quality with half the budget? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rings of Power is actually so bad that it moves to a comedy in some places unintentionally, you are not sure if they are actually having a laugh and its not a serious piece of TV or some of it is ad-libbed or something. Really strange. As you correctly said, something is off with it, something bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see from trailers alone it looks odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being unfair, it has actor heavy weights in it that carry it along I suppose, like Lenny Henry. However, this has nothing to do with Tolkien's books. They might say it does but it doesn't. Places and names maybe, that's all. I am half way through re-editing the sound for Episode 1 for comedy purposes funnily enough. Almost ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 A few things I am enjoying at the moment, I may have mentioned before. Poker Face, a new Natasha Lyonne series. The premise is that she has a power/skill that she knows if people are lying, she knows, instantly. The episodes are like Columbo as it is about how she catches the perpetrator, I also like that the opening titles look like Columbo's titles. There is an over arching story line but on the whole they are self contained episodes. Its on Peacock. The other is Extraordinary, going to struggle to find a funnier comedy this year. Its set in the present day, but in a world where everyone gets powers on their 18th birthday, except the lead character, an irish actress, who is very funny. I cant do it justice really, but if you fancy a 25 minute comedy, give one episode a go and I feel you will be hooked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2023 Bit late to the party, but we're currently on Fargo s4, and it might just be my favourite of the series so far. But then I love a 50s gangster theme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was going to be more of a action/horror kind of show but from what i saw it feels more like a drama show with goid acting and story telling. Its popular on here but wasnt for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted February 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2023 TV with good acting and storytelling? I'm out. The Last Of Us already has the potential to be an all timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
