Villa87 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Late to the party but just started 1883 - got 1923 and Yellowstone to look forward to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) You just can't beat Larry David if you want to howl with laughter. When the blind character, Mike asks Larry if his girlfriend is really beautiful and Larry replies with, "What does it matter, you can't see her, that's one of the advantages, right? And the good hearing, or is that just a myth." Comedy doesn't get much better than that. Edited March 30 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you have to hear the delivery, but that reads to me like something that Bernard Manning would have rejected as unfunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted March 31 Popular Post Share Posted March 31 Larry David / curb your enthusiasm is about as good as good comedy writing and observation gets. Always a delight to go channel hopping and find an episode. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the context of the whole episode that makes the comment so funny, and it's why Larry David is such a genius, imo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 3 episodes into 3 Body Problem and it’s interesting to say the least. Some good characters (but also a couple of whiny ones I have no interest in!) and the plot is unraveling along nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents Then it descends into the absurd and the pacing is all over the place. Plot lines left confused (even if there is another season.) sadly it seems like the show runners are great at the set up (ala GOT) but when it come to nailing the landing they fall flat in their face. It’s so obvious this is an abridged version of the original material which means they’ve failed imo. The music also irritated me and actually made me angry. He’s just copied ALL of the soundscapes from Westworld. What a clearing in the woods! It is identical - what a missed opportunity! Can't agree. I enjoyed it right to the end (haven't read the book, and don't intend to). It's going to be a long wait for s2 (if there is one). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 TV tip for those with kids in the appropriate age for it (whatever that might be) They have made a new Ronja the Robbers Daughter (Astrid Lindgren) series. 12 eps with the opening 6 out now. Looks pretty well made and they've fleshed out the story a bit apparently. Only just started it so early days but it's not a kids show per se. Got some scary scenes in it if you're too young while not going grim dark On Netflix, might need a VPN thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our (now) eight year old granddaughter absolutely loved the first series, watched it all the way through three times. This is great news. EDIT: Ah, just realised this is the live action version. The one our GD loved was the Miyazaki/Ghibli anime one. She'll probably still be interested. Edited April 1 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Trigger Point is so daft. Entertaining but daft. Very much '24' vibes with all the unlikely situations and choices that have to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Finished 3 Body Problem and although I thought it peaked at episode 5 I still really liked it. Hoping for another series 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
