I haven't seen any of this, but have they done the Channel Tunnel bit yet? How is it?

Just watched that one. Pretty convincing tunnel.

Didn't look that way at the time, but I'll take that.

Finished Foundation S02 there

Spoiler

It could have been so good if every single scene featuring Harry Seldon was cut out, without exception. Does anyone think he's good? I'd also get rid of that annoying girl who is younger than her daughter.

Sheltered on Prime. Harlan Coban thing

Yeah I like it but find the Hari stuff boring and confusing. The guy who plays Day is good. Very blessed in the handsomeness dept.

Lee Pace?
Tall and handsome
Usually very good. Phenomenal in Halt & Catch Fire.
Kind of wasted in the Hobbit and Marvel films.

It's a mixture of great stuff and absolute garbage, weighted heavily towards garbage

That guy. He's got a great presence in Foundation. Best thing in it.

That was my impression of Season 1

Really hoped they'd start tying everything together for Season 2

Top Boy ... AMAZING

The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Mike Flanagan's adaptation of a bunch of Poe stories. Fantastic as ever from the big man.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I tried an episode and a half of For All Mankind but it seems a bit too old-school USA for me. I might try The Fall of the House of Usher

 

[pete]

watched the first two episodes of Rabbit Hole last night. I'll admit they got me on the premise



it's kiefer sutherland and he's being jack bauer again - OR IS HE? - and he's doing conspiracy stuff, and he's being framed and he can't trust anyone - OR CAN HE? - and people are dead - OR ARE THEY? - and there's heisty stuff and shooty stuff and some "look at how easy it is to social engineer people", and some strangely pointless - OR IS IT? -Tesla product placement that kind of goes nowhere - OR DOES IT? - and more than the necessary amount of DUN DUN DUNNNNN twist within a twist reveals.

This IMDB review gets it right, right up until the last sentence



so yeah i'll probably watch the rest of it

The addition of Charles Dance has greatly improved the situation. Still a bit hokey.

Ok finished watching this last week. Overall? Not great. Everything I already said, plus they wasted Robocop. IN FAIRNESS despite everything I previously said about the whole “…OR ARE THEY???!!?!?” element of the show, the last episode still managed to pull off a *completely* unexpected and really well done twist. 6/10.

Cancelled.

 

[Deadmanposting]

Cancelled.

Thank you for doing this so I don't have to

 

[dudley]

Gen V
Insane, but great skit

 

[Cormcolash]

I've been watching Portuguese-Spanish show Dry Water. It's on TG4 player.
It's a slow-burn thriller about arms smuggling out of Vigo port. Really well done, I think it's up there at The Bridge kind of level. It kind of reminds me of a cross between The Bridge and Spiral, I guess, it definitely has that noir feel about it anyway.

I thought this got really bad and I switched off about 3 episodes from the end. Terrible characters

 

[rettucs]

I thought it worth sticking with for that big bang moment, but I can see how one would lose interest given the vast tracts of nothingness in between those moments.
