Jenna Ortega was made for that role. 2 episodes in and very good so far but it does have a Harry Potter type of feel about it and kinds of normalises Wednesday as a character surrounded by so many other oddities but still works Spoiler The Mrs was made up she called Weems being a shapeshifter early doors, bless Edited December 7, 2022 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 3 eps in and I'm sorry to say the new Willow series is absolute sh*te. Everything feels off and it lacks charm. It's pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2022 Watching the SAS series on BBC. Couple of episodes in and it's been good so far. I just have no idea why they decided to have so much ACDC music. Must have heard about 4 tracks already and it's very jarring. Feel there's so many better options out there.

Zatman Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Finished Kleo on Netflix, quite enjoyable though a few historical inaccuracies but think its part of the fun compared to the Deutschland series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I was feeling a little bored and thought, "ah, the perfect remedy, ' Justified ', can't beat a bit of Ryland Givens. I've lost count how many times I've watched this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the music in Peaky Blinders though I have felt it's very jarring when they use Arctic Monkeys' music. Doesn't fit at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't fit at all. Anachronistic music in historical drama is a total deal breaker for me. I don't mind it over the credits, but during the actual action, stick with period recordings (if appropriate) or custom-composed incidental music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 One of the people that made 'Better Call Saul' is working on bringing 'The Destroyer' books to screen. They've already had one outing in 'Remo - Unarmed & Dangerous'. If you don't know the premise? It's about the discovery of a teacher of the ultimate martial art, the root of all the others. He's flown to the US from Korea to train an operative that will be used by a very secret service. The books got well out there. He ends up scrapping with mad religious cults, James Bond style bad guys and the arch enemy is not a million miles from the Terminator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Blockbuster was crap. Writers of Brooklyn 99 apparently and could have made a good premise Netflix sitcoms are fairly poor when they have actual potential, thinking Brews Brothers as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Mike Flanagan - Director and Writer of Hush, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Midnight Club plus the movie versions of Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep, amongst others - has spoken this week about his desire to get the Dark Tower TV show done on Amazon. His writing style takes heaps of influence from King, and his work on Doctor Sleep in particular was terrific I thought. In a way I'd prefer he be involved with versions of The Long Walk, The Institute, or even the more recently released Fairy Tale (absolute peak PG-13 King for me) which are all ripe for the small or big screen. The Dark Tower though...as a fully realised TV series spanning 5 series...with all of Amazon's money...don't do that. Don't give me hope. Especially when Amazon's record isn't exactly great with big budget adaptations of much loved fantasy and sci fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
