sne Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Watched the first episode of Clarice, the Silence of the Lambs TV spin-off. Solid if a bit too familiar FBI show with damaged but brilliant protagonist and a bit cartoonish male co-workers who are all jerks to the new guy or girl in this case with the probably future love interest who will betray and or come around. Seen one seen them all. Not a patch on the movie but still might turn out an OK series if you don't compare it to the movie. Wasn't bad but wasn't anything special either. Hard to say where it will end up after only 1 ep. Will watch the next ep thou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to gauge your age Useless and if you watched this originally during its original broadcast. That said I did and I swayed between perplexed and scared. The most memorable was the episode at a deserted train station. A great series that really put it all into the scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First episode was good, looking forward to watching it this week. Is Vikings better? Or are both good series to watch?

Like you, I haven't seen Vikings yet, I'm planning to watch that when TLK is a bit less fresh in my mind, but even if it's better, you won't regret watching TLK as well. Different series but I enjoyed both greatly. Vikings more but they're both very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) The original series is on youtube. Sapphire and Steel isn't something I would have chosen to watch, but saw a few people online suggest that it might have been an influence on Season 3 of Twin Peaks, and because I liked that so much, I thought I'd give it a go out of curiosity, was doubtful, but quite enjoyed it.

Follyfoot Posted February 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Absolutely loving Damian, love the way it links up to the first two films with flashbacks to them. I think it captures the essence of the original quite beautifully at times. Cannot wait for next weeks episode.

I was going to watch but I read that it wasn’t renewed so was fearful that it may finish unresolved. Can you update if its worth a watch when you are done.

darrenm Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Just finished blasting my way through Disenchantment. I couldn't get into it when it first dropped a few years ago but I tried again and really enjoyed it after the initial few episodes where you get to know the characters. It's as good as Futurama and has a lot of clever humour getting towards earlier Simpsons levels. That it has Noel Fielding, Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade adding voices makes it that bit better. If you like The Simpsons and Futurama you'll like Disenchantment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one from about 5 years ago? - each to their own, I thought it was absolutely dreadful and a disgrace to the films. Wasn't surprised at all it got cancelled after 1 season.

Yes just looked it up as I thought it was new, Only seen the first couple because it’s on weekly and not bingeble but like the way they took stock direct from the first film and revisit the old names like Bugenhagen with the daggers angle etc. My judgement could be clouded because I’ve waited for something like this probably for 30 odd years but really like it so far and probably also because I hated the third film so hoping this improves on that Edited February 15, 2021 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely brilliant. When Jen spots Roy in the wheelchair and after hearing his 'story about being disabled due to acid', she turns to order a drink and Moss is just stood behind the bar. Absolutely fantastic. Brilliantly written and acted out superbly. Also love the one where Jen has the Internet, think it's comedy gold. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted February 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2021 The "I'm disabled ... leg disabled" moment is regularly quoted in our house even now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
