I feel like you need to be a certain type of person to enjoy them...you don’t happen to wear brothel creepers and have a pudding bowl haircut do you?

Not sure if you have already watched them previously, but they are bloody brilliant. The music alone is worth the watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's a reference to anything in particular, I don't get it. But, no. And no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only discovered it at series five, which is why we've gone back to the start to fill in the backstory. I thought each series would be a self-contained case, but S1 clearly leaves plotlines unresolved for S2. One thing we both remarked on was the astonishingly realistic (and gruesome) autopsy scenes. I trust the make-up team got the French equivalent of a BAFTA. And as Hitz says, Caroline Proust is very attractive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of positive comments on the world that is being built on the foundations of the original story. I have seen a comment saying there are a couple of bits that fans of the original may find a bit controversial, but on the whole it sounds very promising. One thing for certain, it looks visually stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Not sure how I feel after watching the Watchmen pilot. Didn't quite feel like Watchmen to me. But since it's 30 years after the events in the comic things will be different. Yet, early days and it's hard to build a world in just 1 episode. I'm always vary of Damon Lindelof stuff, I'm not a fan. Usually tons of side tracks and clues that leads to absolutely nothing and his stuff usually falls apart halfway in. That said it was a pretty solid-ish pilot and it's always fun that people seem to go all hissy fit because of the show "pushing the liberal agenda" Spoiler Bit silly of Don Jonson to go driving all alone in the middle of the night like that but drives the plot forward I guess. Will certainly keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
