Lee Child has given it his blessing, too. Not too much wrong with Cruise's Reacher. The film's were a bit too mild and a bit too Cruisecentric. I like Cruise as an actor but having read the books he was as far away from Reacher as you could get. Might as well have cast Warwick Davies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2022 Amazon revealed a bunch of character teaser posters for their appallingly titled LoTR show the Rings of Power, which are basically speculation bait to the max. But they do look half decent and intriguing enough to suggest the show has got potential. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted February 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2022 After a slight drop in quality in S5 of Vikings, S6 is right back on form - just brilliant stuff. I'll be sad to finish it tbh, it's been pretty much consistently excellent. Talking of sad... Spoiler Lagertha has just gone to Valhalla - My lord, that woman is easily one of the best female characters ever written. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon I will finish this over the weekend which is rare for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this guy is, ERM, well, he's big enough. First two episodes were great and Roscoe is brilliant. Might stay up all night. Ps. Reachers voice sounds like the Mandalorians. Cool.

theboyangel Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Loved the first episode of Reacher - hopefully the rest of the series is as good! certainly have got the feel of the books down well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2022 Finally getting round to watching Ted Lasso. Season 1 done. It's strange. It's really quite shit, but it just works, and ends up being really good. I can't describe it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't describe it I was apprehensive about the show, thinking it would be one long drawn out sketch so was very surprised by the overall emotion of it and how good it was! I really enjoyed it and loved the second season too. Edited February 5, 2022 by theboyangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The 2nd season is more on the nose as to what it's all about and to be fair to them it not only works but it's things that need talking about It obviously all revolves around Ted, you can't help but like him, he's a brilliant character They can't film football though, it's the achilles heel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 First two eps of S2 of Raised by Wolves was OK. Slight improvement from S1 which was barely passable IMO. Still not sure what the series want's to be and if it's worth sticking with. Ridley Scott has been more miss than his for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite powerful at times, I really like her, although if I was her father I'd slap her backside a lot because she's, well, just being a teen I suppose. Knew nothing about Tim McGraw pre this but he has an aura about him, very strong. Sam Elliot is class too, always. It's good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nonsense. Quite enjoyable nonsense though. Basically it’s got Seth Rogan in it so that tells you exactly what you’re getting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
