@MN5 I watched ep 1 of Ratched last night, was a bit slow but enough to make me look at another ep or 2 before I decide on finishing, good cast in it though!
We got through 15 minutes, only one I recognised was the one in American Horror Story.
After binging Hannibal we needed something more lighthearted, mind you before we switched it was awesome seeing the bridge on the Pacific Coast Highway, I drove that nearly 20 years ago.

@MN5 mainly Vincent D'Onofrio as he is pretty good in most anything, Cory Stoll (although didnt recognise him until he took his hat off) and the one form American Horror story, usually decent when they are in stuff.

Wouldn't go out of my way to watch any of them but still keen to give it more of a go regardless. There's always the weekend when the other half is out for a run !

@MN5 I very rarely bail after 1 episode, show has to be pretty shit for me to do that.

True, even the one about the train in the snow lasted a couple of episodes.

The implausible bullshit needle went past critical for that show. Absolute crap. Woulda stayed on longer if Jennifer Connolly went back to how she looked pre anorexia and got her tits out though to be fair.

Did you like the movie? (I may have already asked this and forgotten).
I enjoyed the movie but the show hasn’t been getting great feedback.

@mikey07 A great series. I still dip into it now and again. Re-watched the first two seasons a few weeks back.

It would be an interesting re-watch to try and pick the shark jumping moment. IMO they landed the jump but things got quite wobbly.
The whole Irish season (was it 3?) was a waste of time but they pulled back in line for a bit after that.
I just remember watching out the end out of obligation. -

@Snowy I started this the other day, about half way through S1
Annie Murphy is tidy, Kevin McCallister's mum is a bit scary though!

Yes. Annie adds to the scenery (and is pretty funny too).
They did 3 months on set each year to make each series. Never won an Emmy until this year as the show grew in popularity, then won every comedy award (7) plus two others a few days ago.
This was amusing (and I don't think a spoiler):
*One of the most brilliant pieces of writing comes towards the end of season one when David, who everyone assumes is gay, sleeps with the motel owner, and best “girl friend” Stevie. There is confusion on both sides as David comes out as pansexual.
Stevie: So, just to be clear… I’m a red wine drinker.
David: That’s fine.
Stevie: Okay, cool. I only drink red wine. And up until last night, I was under the impression that you, too, only drank red wine. But I guess I was wrong?
David: I see where you’re going with this. Um, I do drink red wine. But I also drink white wine. And I’ve been known to sample the occasional rosé. And a couple of summers back I tried a merlot that used to be a chardonnay, which got a bit complicated.
Stevie: Oh, so you’re just really open to all wines.
David: I like the wine and not the label. Does that make sense?
Stevie: Yes, it does.*
