Just finished The Boys season 2. It's ace.
Some sneaky misdirection in there but the characters are too much fun to worry.
The best new and returning TV series thread
I enjoyed it as well, had some good premise.mat the expat wrote: Fri Sep 25, 2020 12:51 am Not new but binged both series of Wayward Pines last week.
Not what I expected at all and very good.
Shame season 3 didn't happen
Just finished Gangs of London, absolutely enjoyed it, fantastic show.
I see Mandalorian season 2 starts 30th October

Watched first episode late last night - need to try again as either too distracted or it's a bit meh
Did it get better?

Started watching through the expanse from the start again. Want to get through it all before the new season.
Looking forward to the new simon peg and Nick frost series.

Really? It looks upsettingly po-faced and devoid of spectacle from the trailer.stemoc wrote: Mon Oct 19, 2020 5:26 am New series Helstrom is pretty good, anime show Dragon's Dogma is pretty good too
The characters should be an opportunity for Dr Strange style alt-dimensional/magical weirdness and Damon in particular is wry, smart aleck in most of the stuff I've read.
they always do a hash job of major comic characters on TV ..i didn't enjoy the 2 other marvel tv shows either (cloak and dagger and runaways) but i hope they do justice to Ghostrider TV show..thats next in the pipelinesockwithaticket wrote: Fri Oct 23, 2020 11:51 pmReally?

Again, trailer put me off C & D. I did watch some of Runaways, but dropped it pretty quick. It completely missed the tone of the comics. Daredevil and Punisher remain the best small screen Marvel adaptations so far.stemoc wrote: Sat Oct 24, 2020 12:22 amthey always do a hash job of major comic characters on TV ..i didn't enjoy the 2 other marvel tv shows either (cloak and dagger and runaways) but i hope they do justice to Ghostrider TV show..thats next in the pipelinesockwithaticket wrote: Fri Oct 23, 2020 11:51 pmReally?

yeah Netlfix did a better job but ABC freeform and Hulu really don't care about Marvel comics, they just want a 'filler'.. its a shame , atleast 2 good "pilots" related to Marvel got cancelled, they would have been more entertaining than CD/Runaways .....i think Amazon did well with The Boys even though its not marvel..even DC's doom and Titans are top notch whenever i hear Freeform or Hulu want to do a comic show, i cringe..

I was distracted by the sudden appearance of Senator Clay Davis. Going to him for a favour, sheeeit.
Just watched the first episode of Truth Seekers, and I was not expecting that! Really good. Not going to go into it any further, but definitely watching the 2nd.

The Queen's Gambit on Netflix is excellent.
“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
Is anyone else trying “Barbarians” on Netflix? It’s German and Latin, with subtitles, of course.
Is setting up to tell the story of the big battle that helped keep the Roman Empire from conquering what would become Germany.
The history behind it is interesting, and I want to get to that big battle, which is briefly teased in an opening scene.
But three episodes in, it’s a bit average.

It gets worse. Especially the final battle.FujiKiwi wrote: Fri Oct 30, 2020 11:28 am Is anyone else trying “Barbarians” on Netflix? It’s German and Latin, with subtitles, of course.

It's ok, but definately a lot of artistic licence used, cross between Rome and Spartacus, with less tits and minge.FujiKiwi wrote: Fri Oct 30, 2020 11:28 am Is anyone else trying “Barbarians” on Netflix? It’s German and Latin, with subtitles, of course.

Final battle is extremely underwhelming
I thought it was absolutely superb and a brilliant portrayal of the conflict. The final episode is magnificent.Jock42 wrote: Thu Sep 10, 2020 7:20 pmI'm not needing full on contacts but the characters just don't interest me. I'm not expecting to be invested in them within one episode but BoB and Pacific had me hooked from the off.Sandstorm wrote: Thu Sep 10, 2020 7:17 pmNothing really happens. It’s just a bunch of grunts driving around for about 10 episodes with any killing actually happening only about every third one. I’m sure it’s true to war/real, but it’s dull.Jock42 wrote: Thu Sep 10, 2020 7:12 pm Wee bit late to the party but just watched the first episode of Generation Kill. Wasn't really gripped by it, worth continuing with?
Quoting myself, deal with it. Just watched the 2nd episode, and I'm loving it. Suspense, comedy, emotional stuff. Would recommend to all.Raggs wrote: Fri Oct 30, 2020 10:07 am Just watched the first episode of Truth Seekers, and I was not expecting that! Really good.

Got the day off, but holding off on Mandalorian, we have my son's birthday dinner tonight, so will watch together when we get home.

Cheers lads. Couple of episodes in and wavering, as it seems a bit meh.

The New Star Trek Discovery (Season 3) is pretty good. More humour, generally less serious shit.
