White Teeth. The trials of a Bangladeshi family in the UK over a few decades. Funny in places. Nothing to write home about.
Watched one episode of some bullshit about human/animal hybrids on Netflix about a kid who is half deer. I very much doubt we'll get back to it. Called Sugar Teeth or something.

Finished the latest series of Fear The Walking Dead. I wasn’t expecting it to go the way it went AT ALL.

Who would have thought that it would turn out that the whole thing was just a dream??

Weirdly, a wet dream.

It's fucking shit hahaha
I've watched loads of it basically to laugh at how shit it is actually

No it’s terrible but it’s fairly watchable

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

First season is a really adaptation of the book. After that, your mileage may very but I think it’s mostly been pretty great. Latest season could go either way.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Maybe I'll watch something else

 

[seanc]

Nah watch it it's good. Don't listen to the haters, they're just incel Iranians.

I heard Handmaid's Tale is super-bleak. "Not your kind of thing", say my friends

I watched the first series and a half (I thought the first was good) and yes, super bleak covers it.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

it's not good, it's absurd, the characters don't talk and act like real people, and it's overly stylised. but it's watchable

 

[seanc]

It is grim. It's grim as feck, but hey that's how many people live in this world. The wife watched half of episode one and was very triggered. Proper freaked out.

It's far from perfect. I don't think it's over-stylised I think it has a distinctive style. Yeah the characters act oddly with each other, but I think that's in keeping with the show.

I didn't like that Margaret Atwood took offence to it being called science fiction, like she taught sci-fi was a dirty word. It is a dystopian near future world.

Hard disagree, the stylisation is one of it’s major strongpoints. And the contrast between how people act in Canada/the before times vs. in Gilead highlights the pervasiveness of the oppression in Gilead (in my opinion).
