@MN5 said in TV Serieseseses:
Is The Diplomat any good ?
Apparently this is the one we were supposed to watch but did The Night Agent instead.
Ten minutes in and it’s not looking promising.
My wife really liked it and recommended it to me. But then she's awfully selective when it comes to sharing memes, so...

I found it was like homeland but without any action, no real unpredictable twists, average cast.. and no strong sex scenes as netflix suggested..
still watched it though lol..was ok, nothing great

Really enjoyed it
Interesting how dangerous bastards are more in the Arnie mold in Hollywood, but in Europe it's fellas like Cassel

Cassel, Green and Mullan. All great actors that generally pop up in good roles in good stuff. Usually playing roles that one doesn't warm to. Obvs Eva gets a pass for getting the works out even when playing an unpleasant person.
I'll watch this though.

The Night Agent
Just watched the final episode of S01
Sorry - I slandered the series earlier. It was a bit shit, but an enjoyable bit shit. Ignore the (everything), just watch it as dumb entertainment.
But fuck. That final episode.
What a fluffybunny. Just...
I hope they do a 2nd season, only because they've set it up with an un-prenetrable premise... if only by the fucking bullshit of this series and its conclusion. There is NOTHING they could do more which is stupider than this. And I fucking love that.
But fuck. If they do NOT? Fuck you. That was an assault on thinking-ness. Fuck... it's succedeed.. I don't have the wordiness... ignorance is blisssssss. -

@Bones Yeah - kept me semi-occupied for a few hours.
Better than self-reflection - is probably the best praise for it.Also - I learned how to break into Camp David, if I ever feel the need to do that. So... it's got that.
(It felt like even the writer(s) had had enough, and just wanted to wrap it up, publish it under a pseudonym, and walk away promising themselves and others "we will never speak of this again".)

Broadband and TV service down due to Virgin Media incompetence (note to self to post on Grumpy Old Man thread). Dusted off the dvd player and watched Seven periods with Mr Gormsby with 18 yo old son and wife. He was astonished (but still laughed at most of it). Tom Scott and David McPhail v clever guys but geez not sure it would get made today.

Finished The Night Agent.
Was a decent enough watch, shut off brain and enjoy type of action series.
A few criticisms mentioned earlier, I didnt really get being an issue, were plenty of other things I'd point out before them.

The reason I was interested in The Night Agent was that the showrunner is Shawn Ryan, who was the creator of The Shield amongst other shows. I also recently watched a one-and-done TV show he did back in 2011 - The Chicago Code. Well worth watching for the cast (Jason Clarke, Delroy Lindo and Jennifer Beals).

Chicago Code was excellent

It's a pity he didn't make the Chicago Code now as it would have suited the shorter streaming style of shows these days. Same with Terriers. Two shows that could have done well through word of mouth. IIRC he also created Timeless which was a fun time travel show.
The Shield is excellent, it's in my top 10 of all time.
