Re: Fallout
- somebody needs to convince me to finish the game.
I recently started Fallout 3 - which I assume the show is based on. But I find it... a chore... to go back to, compared to other options.
Do I bother continuing, or do I just watch the TV show, and tick that piece of nerd-culture as ticked-off-via-shortcut?
FO3 is 16 years old - I don't think it's possible to convince people to play games that old they haven't played before, let alone convince them to continue if it doesn't appeal.
Fallout the TV series has elements I recognise of FO3, FO4 and FO New Vegas. Even with the upcoming update to FO4, I'd just watch the series and be done with it.

So is fallout only worth watching if you've played the game then?
I’m assuming so, as I’ve not played the game and have found the TV series pretty much unwatchable despite Walton Coggins, who’s is good.

@Bones
I've only watched Ep1 but thus far tend to agree with @Catogrande.I will persevere as I've read loads of + reviews that say you don't need to know the games but I don't know for how long.
Parts of it were good but it was all over the place. I had to properly watch it to follow the plot and that's not really what I'm after on a Sunday night

We Were the Lucky Ones
Family of Polish Jews trying to survive, and then i assume reunite after WWII
3 Episodes in, it's pretty good, but it's not exactly uplifting.
You know the worst part? The first 3 episodes are still early in the war, and you are watching these people still have hope, thinking they just have to battle through this latest little set back, all the while you know it is going to get exponentially worse.

The last of us was terrific and I never played the game.
The Resident Evil movies were ultimately pretty shit on the whole and I played the games loads.
Conclusion. Don’t play the games.
I’m looking forward to Fallout

Late to this.
Watched first two episodes of Season 1 last night.
Very, very good.
-
@MiketheSnow thought season 1 was very good also, haven't started season 2
-
We've tried to get into this twice, but just couldn't. Surprised us as it's been recommended by friends who are usual bang-on.

Series 1 is great. Take care with S2...
-
IMO S2 is still worth a watch, it’s got plenty of ott violence and of course Dixon, but…
-
Both seasons done.
Excellent.
One of the best cop dramas in ages
-
Just started Bodkin
First two episodes really good
Watch Obituary first
Siobhan Cullen is a great actress

Tokyo Vice S2: @Tim I'm not with you and your hype on this show. It was good enough but not even close to being the best show I've watched this month let alone the best show on TV.
It really didn't need 10 episodes, around 7-9 it really dragged. Also, worst pay off for an opening scene to a series ever.
I also find the American woman very annoying (not sure if due to actor or character) so found it hard to empathise with that character's story.
In saying all that it was still watchable, but if it had gone to S3 I don't think I would have kept watching. Friends of mine watched all 18 episodes in a row and felt that was a good way to watch it, but even then they noted the not pay off as being a bit strange.

Thought S2 was a step up on S1. Theme "tune" still makes me crack up almost every time though. Got a bit lame with the end pub scene too.
