@Bones said in TV Serieseseses:
@MN5 does it get better than episode one? We bailed about three quarters through as while the premise and production seemed good, it felt like the dialogue and action was written by a 12yo.
here is the Netflix challenge, people watch the episodes in different order to one another, except for the reveal I believe..so your ep 1 wont be the same as someone else.
I watched right through, it was ok. Was I able to guess what happened before we got there?..yes, so no real surprises unfortunately
and some eps better than others and i reckon a better viewing sequence would have improved my experience as well.. so not sure if their experiment worked

I do kinda see @Bones point. Some bits are just a bit too try hard and ‘cool’. My first episode was when they started off in jail. What was yours ?

@Bones said in TV Serieseseses:
@MN5 my first was getting the group together and robbing the jewellery store for seed money. It was all so predictable but with shithouse lines.
Good call. Jai whatshisname is irritating too.
Anyway, the fern has spoken so you need to keep watching the rest.

Not sure if already mentioned.
But Severance is o for awesome. Dystopic sci-fi thriller sprinkled with black humour. 10/10.

@Bones I just started watching. That was my first episode too. Then the jail one. Nothing astounding but I will persevere. It's sort of well done and it was interesting to see the back story of some of the characters from the first (yellow) ep.

@Bovidae I was gonna wait to binge...it is right up my alley, I loves me an apocalyptic series, I have enjoyed a few of the game adaptions and Pascal is usually bloody good, so I'm going in knowing I will very likely watch the entire series, whether it is a 5/10 or not...plus, along with the hype, it seems be rated well, not that this usually matters.

I admire this man’s honesty.

Slow Horses (S2)
Enjoyed it, well cast, Oldman is superb, his character is such a fluffybunny.

Is anyone else watching The Last Of Us? I know nothing about the video game so this is all new to me. Plenty of hype around this show, and the first episode was promising.
Good first episode. I do worry that the whole “zombie, post apocalyptic” stuff has been done to death a bit though, I hope it can maintain momentum and continue to be awesome. The Walking Dead got a bit stupid towards the end there, I didn’t even bother with the last three or four seasons.
Pedro Pascal is a pretty cool cat and is an engaging lead guy, even without the helmet. He must be busy though as I’m fairly sure Mando season 3 has just wrapped up as well !

Pedro has the distinction of never rating below 89% on rotten tomatoes too for a TV series which is quite impressive
Enjoyed the second episode as well, good start to this series

To go all pedant for a bit, only if you exclude Book of Boba Fett, of which a big issue with that show, despite the fanbois loving it, was how much time was devoted to Mando.

I had a bit of experience of the video game mainly through YouTube, as it seemed interesting.
Gripping stuff. 15yo daughter enjoyed it, starting around the same level as I. Even Mrs TA who knows nothing about the games enjoyed it.
18yo son confirms it was very good as a replay of the game.
