sne Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Happy to say the first 3 eps of s2 of The Wheel of Time is a massive improvement on s1. Granted that's not much of a feat since s1 was a dumpster fire. They are still playing fast and loose with the source material and there are so many changes to the story, lore, characters and world building that it's hard to keep track. But it looks much better, the story actually works now and is interesting-ish. And many of the changes they've made kinda makes sense due to time limitations. It's a 13 books long series so adapting it for telly in it's pure form would take 20 years at least and that was never happening even without Covid and Hollywood strikes. Still tons of changes I dislike and don't see the need for thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Special Ops: Lioness was pretty decent as those type of shows goes. Very solid US CIA whatever show with good actors and a better than average story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 4, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2023 Really enjoying the second series of Winning Time, the LA Lakers story - it's deliberately over the top, but some of the performances are really excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What creates such minds? I remember when I was in HMP Garth and one of the prisoners was a contract Killer. He was really quiet and had a talent- if you will- for drawing people's relatives from photographs, but I could feel his malevolence beneath the apparel of Mr Nice Guy. No way was I entertaining him, I would have felt somewhat violated. To be devoid of all compunction, it boggles the mind, it really does.

Remember the one about Beverly Allet? Janine from Eastenders played her. To be fair, she didn't do a bad job with her portrayal, but it's such a difficult subject to watch.

The BBC ran an hour long documentary type programme on it literally within two hours of the verdict being delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something quite similar already on Netflix called The Nurse, its Norwegian with subs and was pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish. Based on a true story. Was very interesting. Easy to say they should have known in retrospect but the nurse had a hard time convincing the doctors about her suspicions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Finished The Sixth Commandment, dreadful story that took a toll on everyone involved. The prosecutor was on his game, reminded me of a character from a Dostoevsky novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
