sharkyvilla Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Yes I've just watched the first two episodes of Sons Of Sam. Seems watchable but I'm not all that convinced so far by the premise behind it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I saw an episode of Top Boy, thought it was decent. I can't stand most TV shows, POWER especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Finished sons of Sam, it was OK, has its problems and ultimately fulls a bit flat because it's not what I wanted it to be, has issues from episode 2 until the end Spoiler When it becomes increasingly a documentary about terry rather than berkowotz, it also becomes increasingly obvious that they ending will be open rather than revealing anything He was a desperate man come the end which made some of it doubtful One thing that was for sure is that I don't trust the nypd and the politics of it all, there are documentaries and TV shows that attack them better and this was almost a bit polite about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto season 4, I feel like I’m supposed to care about AC-12. I couldnt give a ****.. My initial intrigue that she might be hot has been replaced by the constant thought that she looks like she’s been caught having a shit on a train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) S4 of The Handmaids Tale is pretty meh. Just like in S3 the writing doesn't really make sense and considering there is already clear it will be a S5 I doubt it will improve. It's devolved into a miserable Passion of the Christ story with endless escape and get caught cycle but with beautiful lighting, constant close-ups of Elisabeth Moss's face and a pop song at the end. Would have been a fantastic 1 season show, now it's just a good looking slog with slightly better writing than the last two seasons of GOT.

mikeyp102 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Daybreak on Netflix is really good. A post apocalyptic series with a twist. Begins in similar style to Zombieland but changes throughout. Just read they didn’t renew second series. Edited May 9, 2021 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Started The Pursuit of Love (BBC1), gave up after 20 minutes. Irritating in every way, and featuring my particular bête noir (anything by Baz Luhrmann, Peaky Blinders, etc.) of using anachronistic pop music in a period drama.

Same here, I just don't get the appeal at all. Another (maybe you could answer this one), why is it these days that with so much content, why is the score virtually as loud as the dialogue, making it impossible to watch certain scenes without subtitles. I can picture the old days of an individual, having served their 5 year apprenticeship, sitting in a mixing studio surrounded by dials and levers etc, is it now all done on some young squirts iPad? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it still be worth watching S1 as a stand-alone or does that fact it doesn’t end there make that pointless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
