I thought the Mount Weather plotline was excellent, and the ending to it definitely didn't pull any punches. Sadly I found the third season to be a big let-down in comparison. Quote Season 3 (third and final) started here in the UK on monday night. Didnt manage to catch it but i will be watching. Season 2 was frustrating, especially the Court stuff because i just kept thinking "no, no no no no no!" From what I unserstand season 3 is an entirely new case though, which is a welcome change to me I really liked the first season of Broadchurch but it didn't feel like a storyline that needed a sequel so I never watched the second season (I got the impression it had a fairly lukewarm response). If season 3 is focusing on a new case then I might be more interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every aspect of this show I would normally hate from the precocious kids, to the extreme helicopter moms and the whole bubble in which they live. However, it just works so well for this series. And Reese Witherspoon giving me flashbacks to her Tracy Flick from Election My partner and I tried to watch the first episode of Big Little Lies last night. I think it is shot and acted quite well and the mystery is a good plot to catch people and get them watching. We lost interest after the scene where the kid is called out to apologise in front of everyone (parents and all). I found it unrealistic and childish. Not that we don't see parents like that but a good school would handle that a lot better and aren't they there for the good schooling? Anyway, does it get better or is it still a cringe-fest? I don't think we plan to watch any more but may if we hear it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept wondering how the hell these supposedly amazing lawyers knew so damn little about everything. Do they not talk to their clients? AND WHY IS EVERYONE STILL KEEPING SECRETS ANYWAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate most of the characters, but they all entertain me in some way. All of their issues are slowly being uncovered, so the morbid fascination is increasing episode to episode. I am also a sucker for a good mystery, so there is that hook as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Watching old episodes of The Twilight Zone on Netflix. This show was so amazing. I remember hearing that Rod Serling had some ties to my hometown (he worked for a local radio station and tv station). Pretty cool. Guy was a genius.

Ramsay B. Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I watched the Tickled documentary on HBO tonight. It went in a much different direction than I expecting it to go, that's for sure. Spoiler It always amazes me how rich people get away with basically whatever they want. This guy was such a fucking asshole and deserved so much worse.

Well worth a watch to be honest; it isn't very long. 10 hours ago, williamjm said: I thought the Mount Weather plotline was excellent, and the ending to it definitely didn't pull any punches. Sadly I found the third season to be a big let-down in comparison. I'm giving it a rest for a bit because I've been binge watching the show from the start for the last week and a half lmao. Need a breather. That's disappointing though I know it's on its fourth season at the moment; which I might wait to come to amazon before I binge watch season 3 but who knows really because i'm HOOKED on this story and it has so many wonderful, well written, multi faceted characters with excellent dynamics between them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I knew what it was when you mentioned it. I think maybe we will give it a try then as you guys think it is worth it. This reminds me that we watched Sour Grapes at the weekend, which is a great doc about wine trading. We know people who trade rare beers so it was interesting to us from that perspective. It's also quite a fascinating story from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiDisaster Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I've been catching up on the latest season of QI. I was pretty sad when Stephen announced he'd be leaving but Sandi has been a perfect replacement. Can't imagine anyone better. Honestly this season so far is better than the last couple were. When Alan told her "you're in the right chair" during the first episode my heart might have melted a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
