villan-scott Posted April 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2021 Away on Netflix has been great so far. Series about the first mission to Mars. Watched 8 of the 10 episodes over a few days. Really enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen, "The Morning Show" and "Defending Jacob" are the best of the bunch. "Ted Lasso" is meant to be alright but I haven't watched it myself. "Mythic Quest" is absolutely shit Ted Lasso borders on genius considering the cynical, apocalyptic times in which we live. Well worth it Ben. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Yeah I must admit I'm struggling to find anything to watch on Apple TV. Good job it's a free 12 month trial else it would have been cancelled already. Guess there is such a thing as too much choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the standard definitely decreases and I wouldn't say its a must watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted April 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Is it a standalone series? I’d be more inclined to watch if I knew it had a definite end rather than getting sucked into something that’s splitting opinion. Watched Ozark and most of Snowpiercer since The Sopranos, kept up with (F)TWD as always. Edited April 15, 2021 by fightoffyour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some avenues that could use the characters in a second storyline. As others have written, it’s decently made and acted but suspension of plausibility is required (although, if being picky, I find that with most TV to some extent anyway). 7/10, i.e. worth a watch but definitely not a classic. I admit I may have enjoyed it more as I’ve been to New Orleans and quite like Cranston’s acting. Edited April 15, 2021 by brommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Finished The Terror the other night. It started off interesting enough, then went all **** mythical, then you had Mr Goodman (Goodsir?), who was legit as F, then you had that pokey little leeds **** who was as intimidating as a caramel waffle and it all sort of.. fell apart. I wanted it to concentrate more on the facts of what happened, rather than man-bear-pig fragging everyone. So the guy from Chernobyl was cool, as was Goodman (or was it Goodsir?), the rest were completely forgettable. They should have casted me if they wanted some mad word removed off his head on lead poisoning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably find something to watch more easily on Netflix first though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I thought Your Honor started well but didn't finish that great. Still enjoyed it though and it is worth a watch imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The Flight Attendant was marvellously bonkers. Pacy and entertaining, it's slickly done, and Kaley Cuoco is terrific, it was a victim of it's own pacy style though as towards the end I'd have liked another episode to connect up some of the events Spoiler particularly after the rock bottom episode which I thought was done really well but in a more in depth show you'd give the character a more plausible amount of time to cope with all that trauma, and have various conversations etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Great acting by Kaley Cuoco and enjoyably different. Some of the loose strings may be tidied up in a second series Edited April 15, 2021 by brommy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't help associating Kaley Cuoco with the Big Bang Theory but this is very much not that. Looking forward to a second series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
