There’d better be a decent reveal in series two though or it’ll be disappointing. That’s not to say series 1 is bad but it’s one of those that tells you it’s building to something so they’d better tell you what that something is at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) So, I've not checked up the story about Locke & Key but I had it on my to watch list. The set up for the first ep was a whole lot like the beginning of Narnia but I expect it to move in a completely different direction Edit: Literally the first sentence in ep 2 is about Narnia so that's that covered They have their back free. Spoiler Siblings relocated because reasons to old house, youngest sibling finds door/key to another place and older siblings doesn't believe him/her. Even had a sneaky witch-type lady who offered things to trick the kid. Guess this is where the similarities end thou. Don't expect to see any flutey fauns or Jesus lions. Pretty decent start so will absolutely keep watching, just hope it doesn't turn into too much of a young adult urban fantasy drama.

fightoffyour Posted February 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2020 No love for Curb then? The next season of Better Call Saul starts soon, as does the final season of Homeland. Very much looking forward to both. Meanwhile I’m slowly ticking over with The Sopranos, into season 3, superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) 6 eps into Locke & Key and I can't really get into it. The tone is all over the place, show doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. And the characters are reacting to extraordinary things like you'd expect someone to react to finding a penny on the street. The writing is really poor, no idea if that's down to the show or the source material, I'm guessing they've made something so there be something for everyone, algorithm-TV. Worst part is the villain. Spoiler Ep 7 spoiler Spoiler They have a box that let them control people but when the guy who murdered their dad is pointing a gun at their mom the choose to do f all with it. Could have solved the situation so easily. A quick google and it appears that the graphic novel is something very different to the TV-show. Apparently there is 40 eps ordered but would not surprise me if this get's cancelled. Edit: fast skipped through the last 4 episodes, wasn't my thing. I'd say it's a 4-5/10 WNB Edited February 8, 2020 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Most. Watched all of Friends, Buffy, Breaking Bad (which was a chore), GOT, Seinfeld, Parks and Rec, The Office US. Them aside haven't seen Wire, Lost etc. No plans to either. I can't invest in things like that which have finished and display a mountain in front of me. Watching from the start it's an episode at a time but watching now it's here have 120 episodes. Enjoy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same, I can't be arsed to sit down and start something I know there are 8 series to catch up on. It's why I never watched Game of Thrones. I've not seen The Wire either. Breaking Bad and Dexter are probably the exceptions where I watched it all after the programme was finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The Stranger is one of those programmes that as it's on Netflix I sat down and watched it all, but if it was a BBC or ITV programme I probably wouldn't have bothered. I don't know why, I think I've just got into the habit of not watching stuff on terrestrial. I've probably missed loads of great programmes as a result.

I struggle to pick things up if I'm not invested from the start. That said, we did start Game Of Thrones just before the final season and we absolutely flew through it.

Bizzzle Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The Stranger on Netflix has been pretty good so far Watched the 1st 2 episodes of Locke & Key and really sure whether or not I like but I suppose it has potential 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The thought 'The Trial of Christine Keeler was excellent'. Superbly played by Sophie Cookson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 new season of All or Nothing just dropped. Philadelphia Eagles. 3 eps in and its as good as always. The in-game footage is so immersive. I love for some scoring plays how they stay zoomed in on a certain player and follows their reaction, and then shows the TV angle after 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Season 3 of Babylon Berlin is out. Quite liked the first 2 seasons and it's an interesting period in history (1920's-30's in Germany) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
