Mexal Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 22 minutes ago, Iskaral Pust said: Yeah, I enjoyed Ben and Zach especially, found Diego vs Luther (Billy Bones!) to be cliche and dull in the extreme, thought Alisson was OK, saw no point in Vanya, and I enjoyed the teaser of the imminent apocalypse and the mystery of the assassins. So I do enjoy it but wasn’t sure if it would start deferring the apocalypse story to multiple seasons, or get bogged down with sibling bickering. Tons of emo sibling bickering with some weird mystery assassins and a big apocolypse thrown in. I found it meh but some people here seem to enjoy it. I don't think the quirkiness sticks and that's what made some of the early episodes bearable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellen Page has really taken her craft to the next level. I didn't hate the show, but I definitely didn't love it either. Very middling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been anything quite like this on tv before? Well, maybe, in the UK, of which I haven't watched much in ye olden days that didn't get picked up by PBS - Masterpiece here in the USA, or showed up on movie screens as films, such as Topsy Turvey, Nicholas Nickleby, and quite few other re-adaptations of classic literature.

Season two It's brilliant in such an understated way. Really great how even with that setting, you can still get swept up in the girls' tribulations.

Kalbear Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Deadly Class was good this week, not great, but good. It was a bottle ep, and ended up doing it an interesting way. Spoiler Also, love what they did with the threesome with Petra and how Lin broke Marcus. The blood on his face and watching the home movies was excellent.

Probably just gonna watch the last few seasons though to refresh my memory as to the more significant book changes, like the bold decision to make Euron completely suck. Yeah I was scrolling through the dvr and kept stopping on GOT and was like why keep fighting it. I fast fwd through the Arya/Sansa fake drama from S7, 3 episodes of it anyway.

Hell, probably one of the best overall movies I've ever watched. It won't do as much for you if you didn't grow up a Spider-Man fan, but if you did it ticks every box possible.

red snow Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Season 2 premier of fleabag was phenomenal. I've no idea how waller-bridges manages to blend the extremes of comedy and drama together so well. She's helped by an amazing cast and the addition of "Moriarty" from "Sherlock" as a trendy priest is more than welcome. I actually prefer him doing comedy than villainy. I was disappointed/concerned waller-bridges was sidelining season 2 of "killing eve" but if this is what she's being spending her time on, it is already worth it. Just a shame season 2 isn't a box set release like the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was good and watching the series first didnt spoil anything because they vary a good bit in characters and story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was more along the lines of her recounting encounters with people. I didn't realise it was also a stage play - the concept clearly has legs.

Astromech Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Free Solo was terrific. I caught it on NatGeo but need to see it at a theatre. Some of those shots were vertigo-inducing. My hands were sweating a few times. Made me long for the Yosemite Valley. One of the two most beautiful vistas in the US. The other being Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons. Also watched Conagher based on the Louis L'Amour novel starring Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross. Sam Elliott is the perfect cowboy. Delivers some great lines. Wonderfully shot, but some odd editing.
