Seat68 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Finished Succession last night, on the whole it was a very well acted, enjoyable watch. Definitely worth the time. On paper I wouldn't have liked it, I really dislike bottle episodes in series, and essentially Succession episodes are really big bottle episodes. I did like it though, loved the characters, all dispicable, barely anyone to root for, so yes. Well worth a watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as it develops it adds in wider/bigger storylines and changes theme slightly and is more comedy/drama. Quite thought provoking at points with the concept. Enjoying it a lot. Nearly at the end of Season 1 and a very easy watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Finished Billions, really liked it. The first 2 seasons are a different beast compared to the later seasons but they managed to keep it entertaining for 7 seasons which is pretty impressive. It's not Succession but if you liked that show there is a lot you might like in Billions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been a single story strand that hasn't been well written and executed, and every single person in the ensemble cast has been on their A-Game. With only 3 episodes left im just hoping they land the ending...(no spoilers you lot ). And finished. What an excellent ending to an outstanding series. Genuinely sad its all over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely steals The Babysitter movies (worth watching just for Samara Weaving). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2023 On 05/11/2023 at 13:52, theboyangel said: I’m assuming this is a remake of the James Clavell novel Shogun (part of a series including Noble House and Tai-Pan)? The books are pretty epic in scale and I half remember the Richard Chamberlain series from the 80s based on Shogun. This looks very well produced so will check it out. Given that it was Richard Chamberlain (and obviously low budget) the original Shogun series was better than it had any right to be. The Clavell book is great, as is Giles Milton's 'Samurai William', the true story the novel is based on. Unfortunately, the new series appears to be on one of the many streaming channels I don't have. No doubt it will turn up on the BBC in the fullness of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. it looks like it’ll be on Disney+ over here.

I've read this book a few times, and it was indeed epic. I liked how by the time i'd finished it, it had actually changed my thought processes. Certain comments or actions by a character which by western standards would be innocuous or throw-away were a huge deal in that culture, and I'd started to think like the protagonists. Tai-pan is also great. In fact I preferred that one, although mainly because I've spent time in Hong Kong, and it was interesting to see it's formation. I'll be up for this show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Finished snowfall The main story arcs and how they flip characters and play with antagonists / protagonists is superb, can't think of many shows that have done it better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) Semi bingeing Upload. Halfway through the final series and it's excellent but the third series has had a couple of filler episodes. A few other things I have enjoyed, Not Dead Yet, an easy 22 minute comedy, premise is an obit writer can see the ghosts of the obit subjects. More to it than that but not sure what provider it's on. Young Sheldon. Don't judge me, I am starting season 4 and I **** love this show. No I don't watch Big Bang Theory.
