Warrior I enjoyed, very much an idea developed by Bruce Lee and produced by Bruce Lee enterprises. Great sets, some good Kung Fu and season 2 will hopefully be on Sky soon. Andrew Koji got the Bruce Lee-isms pretty good...although a 'Bong Sau' to 'roundhouse' wouldn't always work but hey it's a concept! Thanks for update on Warrior - will give it a go for sure. the kingdom I watched (on Netflix) was about a family of MMA fighters starring frank grillo.

That was some Mary Poppins-level bollocks and as I've gotten older/grumpier I've found my tolerance for that kind of nonsense has taken a nose-dive. Maybe I'm just doomed to be a grouchy judgemental sod now! My expectations were sky-high as well, big fan of Flanagan's work otherwise. This possibly didn't help. That said, I have now also seen that Garth Marenghi is in it, and this alone is enough to pull me back in. The little girl I'm not sure how you'd play that any other way. Even if you could find a young actor good enough to play it perfectly, wouldn't they look and sound like that? The acting doesn't feel right but then that's how young kids are. I dunno.

Davkaus Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I have only just had the misfortune to see this **** garbage. I simply cannot accept that this was put together by someone who read a single one of the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm ignoring it's existence. It's obviously a completely different project that the writer has smeared some elements of the property over to sell producers on it. It's needs to crash and burn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 6 hours ago, GarethRDR said: I have a rule I've set myself when starting new shows; every show gets at least 2 episodes, it has to be catastrophically bad for me to throw in the towel at that point and generally even if it's underwhelming, it'll get the whole first season to win me round. Plenty of shows with almost completely awful first seasons over the years that have gone on to be great, so I try and stick to this edict. Haunting of Bly Manor got 18 minutes and 12 seconds. That is some of the worst acting I have ever seen, and I've paid actual money to watch The Room on the big screen. In a similar fashion, I only lasted 5 minutes of The Bridge on C4. nice concept, (strangers work together to build a bridge to £100k) but within minutes it was clear it was full of love island reject wannabes. deleted straight away! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Fwiw there is a reason as to why that little girl in Bly Manor talks like she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 For me season 2 is the best series of Fargo and I absolute love the 1st too. 3 was good in its own right. Haven't started 4 yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheMelvillan Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 typically late to the party but just finished season 1 of The Bridge (Swedish version) . Though it was excellent. Can anyone advise if the second and third season are worth watching - dont want to spoil the first one if they go downhill 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
