BOF Posted April 29, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2016 18 minutes ago, Chindie said: Literally the only downside I can see for that is the question of whether the character can sustain a 13 part series. He's a great character, and Bernthal smashes the role, but the Punisher is a fairly one note character overall and tends to benefit from bouncing off others his approach is opposed to. But I'll happily watch Bernthal in that role again. Excellent. Agreed, and said as much a few weeks back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2016 It's a problem the character has always had, it's very easy for his storylines to devolve into 'the Punisher brutally murders nondescript gangster of the week' which burns out very quickly. He also doesn't 'work' very well universe wise. A character that straight up murders villains running around a universe where characters fight their nemesis for decades doesn't quite gel.. But Netflix have done pretty well so far and the character was done well in Daredevil so I've every hope for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Up to episode 5 on series 7 of Archer and it's yet to take off IMO. The dialogue seems laboured compared to past seasons and the jokes are hit n miss. Hoping it improves as I love the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 1 is definitely a slow burner, season 2 is the complete opposite. But they're both awesome. I think season 2 is my favourite season of any TV programme ever. Really? I thought both seasons were decent, but nowhere near my top 20 seasons of all-time. Why did S2 of Leftovers stand out to you so much? Compared to say Breaking Bad S5, The Wire S4, Battlestar Galactica S2, Lost S1, Homeland S1, Dexter S4, Heroes S1, S3 of 24... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 11.22.63 Wow that show is great. It's a short 8 episode series staring James Franco. Highly recommend it. All around quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I have to be honest and say Silicon Valley is annoying me at the moment. Season one was brilliant, very funny and also smart and I liked that they were succeeding and overcoming the set backs. Season 2 was a bit iffy because they obviously realised how popular the show was and needed to get at least 4- 5 seasons out of it so not a lot happened but it was still funny in places with a lot of set backs. Spoiler Season 3 is just setback after setback, I personally want to see them do well and turn into a massive company, I don't quite get the constant negative spin unless its just artificially extending the show, we're in season 3 now and they are still yet to achieve anything or even have any remote success since the last episode of Season 1, its supposed to be a comedy rather than a drama.

I just found it absolutely gripping. The way it was filmed was incredible, it was completely bonkers, the shift in pace from the first, I just thought it was incredible. Homeland, Dexter, Heroes or 24 wouldn't get anywhere near my top list of seasons to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Due to being away with work - I had to wait until last night to watch the final two episodes of Line of Duty. It was worth the wait for sure and a superb way of finishing off the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well made and an interesting premise, but very slow and often dull. Me and the other half nearly didn't bother with series two. Then it just completely flips. From the theme tune, to the pace/storyline - everything just changes and it turns into a brilliant programme. Apart from the actors, it was like a totally different show!
