Apparently the villian in season 4 is not a speedster so it might get good again... i was kind of the same, 40+ episodes of him needing to get faster, think it more became stale for me because i considered it a cheap trick how they reset all the characters he left and he was dead and she loved him and they had nowhere else to go so they played with the clock or jumped earths and now all the previous non barry story lines dont mean anything? nah not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Finished Twin Peaks: The Return last night and sadly it continued in the same vein right through to the end. Big fan of the original series but this was the most disappointing season of TV I've seen. On another note, I'm coming towards the end of the latest Homeland season and things are hotting up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Season 3 of Narcos has started pretty good even without Señor E. Hopefully it continues. Good thing that as for me the last season of Preacher is a bit boring. Still OK but no where near the first season. Same thing with The Strain that has also never lived up to the potential from the books. Only 2 episodes left to tie everything together now. Edit: Fun side note about Narcos season 3. This is the 3rd series in which Matias Varela who plays Jorge Salcedo, the security guy for the Cali cartel is playing a character named Jorge. He did it in the 3 Easy Money (Snabba Cash) films , in a series of Swedish cop TV mini-series called Arne Dahl, and now in Narcos.

wazzap24 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 It's been nigh on 24 hours and I still couldn't sum up just how amazing Twin Peaks: The Return has been, but this article comes pretty close. It wasn't just a TV show, it was like nothing I've ever seen and I'm not sure anything will ever come close to it again, Unless Lynch decides to go back in one more time. A total and utter triumph. Oh and fair play to Showtime, I doubt there are many 'mainstream' TV networks that would ever be brave enough to commission and show something like this. http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/why-twin-peaks-the-return-was-the-most-groundbreaking-tv-series-ever-w501073 Quote When some phrases pass through the prism of Twin Peaks, you can never hear them the same way again. "Damn good coffee" is one; "Gotta light?" is another. We'll submit a third candidate, one that the just-concluded third season of David Lynch and Mark Frost's supernatural murder-mystery masterpiece has marked for permanent retirement from the critical vocabulary: "Like nothing else on television." The TV landscape remains full of singular, spectacular shows, Peak TV fatigue be damned. But just as the original Twin Peaks inspired visionary showrunners from David Chase to Damon Lindelof to create the New Golden Age, the show's revived third season may have leapfrogged them all. What we just witnessed was unmatched in the medium's history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The series picks up really nicely, I'm not far from the end. Cracking to see the fat Jurassic Park guy in it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I pretty much got there with most of it in the end (or at least my interpretation). I made the mistake of not watching 'Fire Walk With Me' beforehand though, which helps apparently. Episode 8 was where it all clicked for me. It was obvious from the start, this was never going to be 'Twin Peaks' from the 90's, but it became something even more amazing IMO. I'm not one for weird stuff normally. I'm not a particularly clever bloke, I couldn't tell you the first thing about 'Art House' cinema or anything like that, but this has been something else for me. I feel like a right Stan fan boy, but it's probably the best thing I've ever seen, Film or TV wise. Edited September 5, 2017 by wazzap24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjenkins Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I finished watching Twin Peaks: The Return on Monday, and I still haven't recovered! I was interested to see what others made of it and I can totally understand the very different reactions. Showtime definitely have to be given a lot of credit for financing the project and allowing David Lynch and Mark Frost so much creative freedom, because at times The Return was like nothing else I've ever seen. Although I loved the original Twin Peaks series, I do find some David Lynch films very frustrating and there were certainly parts of this series which didn't work for me, particularly in the first half-hour or so of the finale but in other places too. Overall, though, I think The Return has been brilliant. I'm not sure how much of it I really understand, or if it can indeed be understood fully, but the journey and the atmosphere is probably more important I feel, and I could have stayed in the universe of Twin Peaks for another 18 hours easily.

Zatman Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Narcos is another hit, think even better without Escobar (we all know him compare to Cali) only downside so far is the really really annoying son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I've just started watching Narcos (only on season one) and it's very entertaining so far, although I'm pretty unimpressed with the politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Ok i must be on my own as i just finished 3rd episode of defenders and i loved it. So much better. Hopefully proceeds like this. The fights in the dark ruin it for the first few episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
