mjmooney Posted February 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2019 The current series of Shetland seems to be recycling the plot from the first series of Trapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Universe's second big release after Titans, which was... divisive, this seems to have been pretty well liked. I thought Titans was really good fun and much better (And darker) than I anticipated.

I might try it one day, but I was really put off by the SDCC trailer, which made it look horrific. Bad teen edgy atmosphere, seemed to have a budget of whatever they could scrimp from down the back of Warner Bros sofa, and the '**** Batman' moment, shudder. Plus I literally don't like any of the Titans characters. Edited February 24, 2019 by Chindie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OJ one was a superb show, so hoping for more of the same from this. Going to have a good binge this weekend. Yes, good choice - I highly recommend that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Umbrella Academy got better and better with some surprising points along the way: Spoiler Vanya slicing Alison’s throat... shocked at that Spoiler I’m just hoping they don’t overplay the use of time travel in future series as it can get a bit samey then, especially if you think they are indestructible as they’ll just go back in time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Universe's second big release after Titans, which was... divisive, this seems to have been pretty well liked everywhere. I know very little about the Doom Patrol, other than that they are a group of really shit heroes that have mostly fought really bizarre threats, and Grant Morrison had the most lauded run on it (and given he specialises in weird, probably not too surprising). Cyborg to my knowledge has nothing to do with them but DC love shoehorning him in wherever they can. I thought this looked awful when the first pictures came out during filming but it looks... alright in all honesty here. Don't think it has an official release anywhere outside the US yet but I'd wager it'll turn up on Netflix or the like soon enough. And looks like it might be fun. Looks good and I'll probably give it a watch if it becomes available on Netflix/Amazon, especially as Alan Tudyk is the villain as he's always good. However, I didn't recognise Brendan Fraser at first. I'd recommend Titans, I'm only 9 episodes in but I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. Definitely more akin to some of the Marvel Netflix shows in that it's dark, violent and deals with some very adult storylines than what I've seen of the other recent DC shows (which made me want to turn them off immediately). Spoiler The Titans Doom Patrol crossover episodes where enjoyable and made me want to look into these characters having known very little about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone a so admitted to forging Aaliyah’s age when they got married. The juriers can argue they have never seen it. The first trial was a joke. Complete and utter corruption. I don’t think he will get off this time when you consider all th3 scandals going on in Hollywood. This one just looks blatant to me. I personally don't need persuading that there is a fairly overwhelming amount of evidence suggesting wrongdoing on his part. The question is whether there is enough evidence of any number of particular incidents to secure a criminal conviction, which is another question.

Easily one of the greatest comedy creations of all time. I was really, really disappointed with it. Good pisstake of The One Show, crap Partridge though. Not a patch on the brilliant Mid Morning Matters which is spot on all of the time. The set up for this is all wrong in my opinion, and didn’t work. Obviously some great lines like the Fluck/Clunt guest, but it needs more than just one or two headline grabbers like that to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
