Rds1983 Posted March 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2016 Watched the first two episodes of DC Legends of Tomorrow and far from impressed. Bad acting, direction and writing. The Marvel shows are so much better. I think I'll add Better Call Saul to the list as everybody appears to be raving about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no Kingpin this time round I understand. The villain appears to be the Punisher to an extent, and the Hand. I'll be astounded if by the end of the series Daredevil and the Punisher haven't ended to working together, even of only briefly. He won't be in Civil War. The story really doesn't have much to do with the comic, beyond basic inspiration and themes. I think the best bet for the Netflix team to appear in the movies is the Infinity War films. If that happens I don't think they'll recast unless they're forced to, the Netflix series are heavily invested in the MCU and came out of it, unlike DC/WB Anywho, final Daredevil S2 trailer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Damien is now on Ep 2, super show and ties in well with the movies (Omen 1 & 2). 9\10 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got half way through the pilot episode of DC Legends and couldn't carry on. As you say it was terrible. DC LOT seemed way to hammy for my liking, I ususally like to give tv series a few episodes before writing them off, but I just couldn't do it this time.

hogso Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Strong last episode of Happy Valley, with plenty of scope for a third series. Sincerely hope it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping it was because they had too many characters to introduce in the pilot and that it would settle but episode two was worse than one. The characters are all morons as well and I feel it is being aimed at kids (hence the hammy acting and awful dialogue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 if you ever wondered why them pair from prison break have hardly been in anything since, 5 minutes in to LoT and you'll know tbf its not actually that far off the flash but the flash for some reason works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted March 16, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2016 Whats with the weird way of talking the younger guy from prison break has in LOT, its like he is trying to be a bond villian from the 70s. He never used to talk like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Colony has been picked up by Sky and will be on Sky One next month - as I alluded to earlier in the thread, it's not a bad watch. Sawyer from Lost is married to Lori from Walking Dead, and they're trapped in a block with Attack on Titan-esque walls under 24 hour surveillance in a dystopian world following an invasion by mysterious alien types....

troon_villan Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm beginning to think that they should have made a Mike spin off instead of Saul. Brilliant cameo from Tuco 's uncle BTW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightysasquatch Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've really enjoyed limitless so far, never seen the film but so far the tv has been excellent. Im finding Sleepy Hollow season 3 hard work, can't really get into this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone read the book , does it do a better job ? I read the book earlier this year, I was intrigued by the adverts for the TV series but don't have Amazon TV so thought I'd read it instead. Apparently the show is quite different to the book which is a good read and thought-provoking, but the ending seemed a bit of a cop out to me, or at least too clever and abstract for my little mind. I preferred Robert Harris's kind of alternate history like Fatherland which has a similar theme of 'what if we lost the war'. I understand Phillip K Dick is more of a sci-fi writer and a little eccentric and it comes across in the book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The last bit of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. Gold. He's hitting it out the park this series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2016 Daredevil has a cracking opening couple of episodes to series 2 and yep, Frank Castle steals the show instantly. John Bernthal was always going to be a cracking bit of casting, and he really shows it. On the basis of these 2 episodes, he's walked straight off the page. It still suffers with the same problems of series 1, there's some absolutely clunking dialogue still and the performances are uneven (Foggy is much improved thankfully though!), with a few too many caricatures in the supporting cast, but otherwise we're back to great dark action series it seems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One had a 10! Have one to go on season 1, taken me ages to get through it for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The third series of Line Of Duty is on BBC this week - the first two series were excellent IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
