I have to wait for the whole series then binge it over 2 to 3 days its a nightmare when they get to something like season 5 as I have to re-watch 1 -4 first !! its strange really as my memory itself is really really good , my mates always say if I get Alzheimer's they are all **** as I'm the one that remembers everywhere we've been and things we've done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember what minor family events happened on precisely which day, and incredibly specific technical details from this we did years ago at work. TV shows though, I can get through and entire season of something and not recall the name of some of the characters. Think I just subconsciously decided TV shows aren't worth the storage space in my memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll certainly stick with it until the end of Shogun (annoying that it's on a weekly dripfeed, mind), but pretty sure I'll cancel after that - there's nothing else in their catalogue that interests me, tbh. Not sure if its your thing but Mr. Inbetween is fantastic and worth a go before you cancel. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only streaming service that I have this problem with, all the others are fine. It's still watchable (as you know, I have low standards, don't see the point of HD, etc.), but it's enough to make me cancel once Shogun has finished.

I thought I was the only one with a syncing problem. Every few days it goes out of sync with sound and visual. It always happens after watching Disney+ and then it throws the normal TV off too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Weirdly disney is one of the platforms I don't have a problem with. Prime and Iplayer I have had issues with though. That's all going through a firestick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Shogun, it has started very well indeed, which hopefully bodes well. Just hope it keeps up with the same standard throughout. I just started watching Shogun, after reading the book a number of times and liking it. Only seen the one episode as yet and it looks so far like a superb adaptation. Can't wait to get onto the rest of it. Also I hope they do a similar updated remake of another Clavell novel, Tai Pan, which I also really enjoyed. I know there is a 70's/80's version of it, but after seeing a bit of it, I was not impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Watched the first episode of The Gentlemen and I will finish it, but I felt it didn't have the pace of a typical Guy Ritchie piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
