RhaenysBee Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 My dear lord, Reign makes no sense at all. It suffers from every single plothole goT seasons 5-7 suffered from. Did these people even watch historical movies before writing this thing? There isn’t even a shadow of logic or common sense in the plot or the actions of these characters? My, my, my...

I really like the movie and I like the show too but they are very different tonally. The show feels like they've taken the basic premise and concept of the movie and combined it with Point Break. I haven't seen the movie yet (waiting for it to stream on Netflix or Prime) but Point Break is an apt comparison. I really like the characters -- with Smurf and Pope standing out in particular.

They are so slow and impossibly boring I just can’t... I’m stuck in the middle of season 2 in both cases. Are there two shows called The Last Kingdom? Because if there's only one, this comment makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingintheNorth4 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Watching the latest episode of The Good Doctor. As a person with Aspergers Syndrome (a high functioning form of Autism), it's great to see how they've presented a thoughtful depiction of this condition.

briantw Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I just want to say...Wrecked is amazing. I watch this show and I feel like it should just be so terrible, and yet it continues to deliver hilarious episode after great episode. I recommend anyone looking for a comedy give it a chance. And as with most comedies, stick with it through the first three or four episodes because it takes some time to find itself. The third season that just ended was incredible, though. The chess scene will go down as one of my absolute favorite sitcom scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 'Hold the dark' is one strange film and I'm pretty sure it falls I to the category of I'll probably love it when I watch it a second time. It's brutal in places and the villains are implacable. There is a shoot out that's pretty damn epic. Nice to see such weaponry cause such destruction as most tv/film shy away from such things. Every bullet was felt in that shoot out though. It's a great companion film to "wind River" but more challenging and not as easy a watch. Both films do a great job of establishing cold and brutal landscapes and the people living in them. Although I hope Alaskans aren't all like the ones depicted in "hold the dark"!

dbunting Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I watched A Star is Born this weekend and thought it was a pretty good movie, touching in spots and well acted. Loved some of the music from the movie as well. I see why it's getting award buzz, people actually clapped when it was over. Watched season 1 of Ozark also. First couple episodes were really good, then a little slower and then finished well. It's not a show I felt addicted to but I do want to see S2 as soon as I have time.

williamjm Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I finished watching Bodyguard. The series had a lot of hype and it mostly delivers on that, it does have very tense scenes, particularly in the first and last episodes. The plot was compelling, although looking back at it I feel that while the overall picture largely makes sense some of the details don't - the villains' plan does seem unnecessarily complex and sometimes contradictory. I thought Richard Madden put in a very intense performance in the lead role, and the supporting cast was good as well, particularly Keeley Hawes.

Theda Baratheon Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Netflix’ Maniac turned out to be rather lovely& uplifting and probably just what I needed to watch. It’s silly, goofy and full of heart but also has more than enough Philip K Dick like science fiction details and world building that although it’s mostly a character study focused on emotions it’s deeply rooted in a fully realised world of loneliness and Electric friends and all sorts of wonderful little details. It’s not edgy or daring or nasty and you know what I’m glad of it - other more independent works dealing with similar settings and theme can pick up those mantles - but what it turns out to be was rather lovely & sweet and I’m more than happy with that.
