Let's have a TV shows thread.

Severance is a brilliant watch. Considering the end of the first season, it'll be interesting to see where this one ends up.

 

If I don't get a hint of some answers soon, this borderline psychedelic, platonic ****ery is going to give me an existential crisis.

Just finished season 4 of The Boys. It's gone from a satire to a pretty good reflection of US politics.

Zero Day on Netflix with Robert DeNiro.

 

Instantly forgettable tripe.

A decent amount of it was decent, some good twists and plot development. But the ending was poor writing I think

Nice to see Blakes 7 getting Bluray releases, still one of my fave  sci-fi series, far ahead of it's time even with the very cheap special effects....love that this video shows the changing roster of the Liberator for the first three seasons......

After all the positive posts I was intrigued, so started watching Severance.

Well, call me an heretic, but three and a half episodes in and Mrs. FFF and I have pulled the plug.

That's all.

It's nowhere near as great as everyone is making out. It's a decent show with some interesting concepts but it's not even close to top tier TV. 

 

As for this week's episode, well prime example. Absolutely dreadful until the final 5 mins. They could have made that a 10 min segment in another episode and it would have been much better. 30 mins of my life wasted for a few mins pay off.

Another great episode of Severance this week. Genuinely might end up 1 of the GOATs if they keep this up

Now you done S4 and waiting for S5 to drop probably next year, have you started GEN V there are 2 seasons & it gets even madder than The Boys if that was possible.

They should’ve done it so the Cobel stuff was sprinkled in throughout various episodes of this season instead of one episode. 

 

Obviously just comes down to opinions but I didn’t mind the episode.
 

I don’t think it helps you had to wait a week for it, if you were just binging the show and didn’t have to wait I don’t think it would seem as bad.

These were my exact thoughts. It was an okay episode but when you have to wait a week to see it, and then have to wait a further week to see what happens next it is frustrating when not a lot happens in it.

Excellent final (I assume) series of Snowpiercer, with some great lines from Sean Bean’s engaging villainous character.

Have to agree, yes we needed to know her backstory and it was a big reveal right at the end.  However, it was a hell of a tedious journey getting there.

Watched the 1st two episodes of 'Candy. A Death in Texas' on channel 4 last night. Next two episodes are on tonight.

True story and quite fascinating.

I couldn't resist reading about the case however, on t'internet and couldn't believe what I read. I mean wtf!

I won't spoil it for those watching but incase you're interested, here's the details.

Ah, that old money shot experience.

[Dreadnought]

On the back of this thread I’m now two episodes into Severance. 
 

If I could go through the process then I might actually sleep past 4am Monday to Friday when I normally wake up with work on my mind. I would also forget about the wife, kids, their GCSEs and her menopause. 
 

Where do I sign up???

Started 'From' in the week whilst was travelling with work. Smashed the first series in 3 days. It's really good. It's a bit mad but if you like Lost, the last of us and a bit of the walking dead it's worth a watch

Same writers as Lost and a fair few similarities in my opinion.

 

I've finished season 3 and it's one of those shows that actually gets better through the different series.  Can't wait for season 4.

Watched it when it first came out as im a bit of a lost fanboy. Was brilliant. Might have to give it another watch actually.

Episode 2 just as good. 

 

I'd always fancied Belgrade as a place to visit, not so sure now. 

 

The Kosovo situation now makes sense in regards what Xhaka and Shaqiri have done in the past. 

 

Not much wonder UEFA don't allow certain countries to play each other in qualifiers.

Taking over Paris as the City of Love apparently with bookings up 210% on Paris this year! But I hear what you are saying. 

 

Mitrovica though, christ, what a situation that is! 

Belgrade holds similar intrigues for me. 

 

On this subject, the film Quo Vadis, Aida? is superb, if incredibly sad

Last episode of Invincible was great, can’t wait for the series finale.

Binged this the last couple week whilst writing up notes for work. Nice easy watch and very entertaining.

 

Some of the characters are great.

My mum let me stay up and watch this when my dad was away. My first taste of sci fi and still my favourite, the ending was incredible and brave and is still shocking every time I watch it. 
Deserves a remake without doubt.
