Listening to original multi tracks is always really interesting, as is having the band members talk through their writing and recording process. Watched the Metallica one again a couple of weeks ago. Not a massive fan of the band, but that is a brilliantly recorded and produced album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 8 episodes into 13 reasons why & it's been a long day so far, 6 hours to go... There really was no need for a season 2 at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really was no need for a season 2 at all I watched the first couple of episodes yesterday and it does seem a little like as it was unexpectedly successful and they made a new season for the sake of it. They've shoehorned the girl into it as his imagination or whatever, when they'd have been better doing a new series with a completely different cast of characters, perhaps basing it on a school shooting or something.

I can also watch it even if I'm not really into that band/album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books are some of the best I've ever read, but this looks like such a departure from the source material, I'm not even sure its the same story. Worried. It's FOX It will be cancelled after one season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on episode 11 and yup, there's no point to it. A different story would have been better. A school shooting would have been a good story for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I think Simon Reeves is fast becoming one of my favourite presenters/human beings. His Burma programme that was just on was incredible yet angering. Much like the Russian one. Don’t think he has made a bad programme yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks absolutely dreadful and I will never watch it. Even in the trailer the dialogue is dreadful. Plus the bastardization of Kate Bush at the end means it should be cancelled after one episode.

Stevo985 Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 Finished "Safe" It all gets a bit silly in the end doesn't it? Plus I guessed the killer with about 2 and a half episodes to go which spoiled any big reveal. Still think it was decent overall, but lets itself down by the end.

Be warned. Reveal hidden contents I was shocked that they could show that bomb going off around his neck. Didn't seem right somehow watching the last seconds of that blokes life. I've seen the first episode too. Looks like it could be really good. Spoiler That part was brutal, but actually was a lot better than I thought it would be given the situation! I thought it would blow him to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the end was a bit less silly than the start with the crazy family and I did guess whodunnit pretty early on. Worth a watch though. Only thing I think I missed was Spoiler Who set fire to the black lady's house? It wasn't the policewoman who did that from what I remember, was it that Bobby bloke?

Chindie Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 Finished Evil Genius. It's a bizarre story, I vaguely remember hearing about it in the years afterwards as one of those 'you won't believe this happened' takes, but it ultimately isn't as interesting as you'd think it would be. It's also quite padded even for a 4 episode show. Spoiler There's something inherently uninteresting about a story where you kinda know the end game from the start. The show realises this too late and tries to reframe it's interest in the story at the death, and gets a revelation that isn't that interesting. It isn't a what, or a who, and there's little to grasp in the why of the story - you've got a mentally ill woman with money trouble surrounded by easily manipulated hangers on of variously compromised morals... I wonder how this happened?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) After all of the uproar about Brooklyn 99 being cancelled, then saved, I decided to give it a go. Absolutely shit. Almost unbelievably so. Just so incredibly bad, with no redemption, at all. Every character is a stereotype. The dialog is dreadful. It does that terrible Family Guy thing for every other joke - "hey remember when absurd thing happened" <flashback>. Every attempt at humour is telegraphed with a neon sign pointed at it so the stupidest viewer doesn't miss that they're trying to be funny I gave it five episodes as I figured they might just be finding their feet in the first couple, but there's zero improvement. I need something else to watch apart from Fargo. I watched the first season on my own within a week. Now the gf is on board for season 2, so it's probably going to take about 6 months to watch the next 9 episodes.

Thought it was very cheap humour at best and could not understand why it was highly rated. Was awful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Yes I think that was Bobby after he'd killed her. I thought it all started to get stupid when it was linked back to the fire, and the son being in the psychiatric hospital with the burnt face. Dunno I just thought it got a bit far fetched. There was also loads of times when I was wondering out loud why the main guy didn't just tell the **** police what he knew rather than bombing around on his own. It's the police and you're shagging the lead detective, it's not like they're gonna fob you off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Brooklyn 99 is just so wonderfully daft and silly. Like every show ever made though some will like it some won’t. Each to their own. You’re wrong but each to their own . Edited May 21, 2018 by Ingram85 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 Latest episode of West World was kinda disappointing. Seems like a bad made for TV movie at points. Strange as the production values are normally out of this world. Spoiler Im not sure why they needed to take the story through Shogun World. Just because it's cool to have ninjas? Or is it to sell to the Asian market. I've always loved the show up until now but it all felt a bit contrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
