sne Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Mini-series The Comey Rule is out today. It's blatantly anti Trump so it's gotten only 1's and 10's on IMDB so no idea if it's any good. Only 2 ep's so I'll at least give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven episodes have aired, then either it was the ridiculous mid-season break, or they stopped filming due to the viruszzzzzzz. I've saved those episodes to watch when the other five have aired.

Stevo985 Posted September 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2020 I've moved back to "Dark" Watched the first series when it first came out but I'm rewatching it because it was so hard to follow, and from what I've heard season 2 and 3 get even more complicated. So I knew if I didn't rewatch the first I'd have no idea what was happening. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it! Can't wait to get on to season 2 and 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to give up on it half way through the first series as had not a scooby as to what was going on, is it worth ploughing on with it in a state of mild to middling confusion ? Same with Westworld series 2, what the eck was all that about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is twaddle until the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely say yes but pay attention or watch end of series YouTube explainers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2020 One of the podcasts I listen to were discussing Dark (very positively) and gave the excellent quote "The only way Dark could be any better is if I had a **** clue what was going on!" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Westworld, I mean you. I had no desire to watch season 2 after doing all the first series. Different timelines my arse.

Quite enjoyed the first series as it goes (I think, got most of it until the last couple of episodes) , got to the start of the 2nd series and after about 5 minutes me and the Mrs just turned at each other and went WTF !!! The film is a far easier watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Someone on here recommended "Kingdom". It's pretty good actually. I'm not a fan of MMA but the show is full of violence, bad language and shagging. What's not to like? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted September 29, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 29, 2020 Binge watching "Good Girls" at the moment. The presence of Hendricks always helps, but it's a cracking show regardless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it as truth, fiction, fake news or anything in between it's still a really interesting watch. I happen to think a lot of it is pretty close to the truth so was right up my ally. I get why someone who is pro-Trump would want to believe or pretend it's all lies of course and that's why it has so many 1/10 on IMDB. I'd say it's a strong 8/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, right now, at this time, trying to ignore the US election and the climate catastrophe happening in front of our eyes.... it's very sweet and almost... poignant. It's a story about a man who's kindness melts everyone's hatred and cynicism. It's a show to I am glad to watch right now. Thanks to Jason Sudeikes and the folks that made it. Already posted about it upthread. Really shit concept, in fact "on paper" there's little to make me want to watch it at all but... I've watched every episode so far and genuinely laughed out loud a fair few times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely goes flat but picks up again towards the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
