dAVe80 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Over the last week I've tried with a couple of new shows. Maniac, which seemed like a waste of my time. Stan Against Evil, which made me long for Ash. Mayans, which at least seems better than Sons of Anarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent episodes but a few that surprisingly didn't grab me like the show normally does. The penultimate episode was good but the couple before that not so much. Yeah it's been very slow. Still love it, but it's definitely been a slow burner this season. Haven't seen this week's episode yet but will probably give it a watch tonight.

Stevo985 Posted October 4, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2018 Anyone seen anything about this Sabrina the Teenage Witch reboot on Netflix? I can't really tell what it is. It's Sabrina, so I assumed it was aimed at teenagers (mostly girls). But it actually looks like a much darker "scarier" interpretation. It's called "The chilling adventures of sabrina" and the trailer basically makes it look like a horror so now I'm not sure who it's aimed at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still aimed at teenagers - originally it was being developed as a spin-off of the recent Riverdale series, which is absolutely a modern teen show, and was due to air on the same channel in the US, the CW, which is essentially a teen/early twenties network. Riverdale has been very well received, and the darker take on Sabrina works very well, so it should be at least decent I suspect, if that's your thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I'm 4 episodes in to the new season of Bojack. It's not great, is it? I think it's got better every year since the first one, so it's not going to keep blowing me away every time, but it's the weakest season so far, I think.

It isn't my thing to be honest, but having watched the original Sabrina series when I was a kid it's got some nostalgic value for me. Otherwise it's the kind of thing I wouldn't really look twice at (apart from the fact it's got Lucy Davis in who I like) I may give an episode or two a watch and see what it's like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be a decent watch though, I'm tempted to give it a go and I'm not the kind of person attracted to stuff like Riverdale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I meant I wouldn't have even noticed the show if it wasn't called "Sabrina", so that's the only reason it's got any interest from me. Might be alright, I'll give it a go.

mjmooney Posted October 4, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Just finished "Killing Eve". Very enjoyable romp, somehow both spoofing and paying homage to the whole espionage genre. Very much character-, rather than plot-driven, and a self-conscious exercise in style, you can tell that the cast had an absolute gas playing in it. Only let down for me by the very end, which looked like it had been hastily rewritten when they heard that a second series had been greenlighted.

Rodders Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Having watched The Pacific a few weeks ago and enjoyed it, it did make me want to go back and re-watch Band of Brothers. Damn it's so good, the Bastogne episode gets me every time Spoilers seems a bit weird for a real life account but Spoiler Buck's breaking point when he sees his friends both with legs blown off devastating stuff. I also completely forgot Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy were in it! Edited October 5, 2018 by Rodders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Swamp Thing was supposed to be rated hard R so that might be fun to see what they've done with it and if they really were allowed to do that. other than that, not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 Swamp Thing is the only thing in that list that has potential to be more than complete pap. Even with Titans being surprisingly good early word of mouth. That'll forever be the series with Robin growling '**** Batman' and a production budget seemingly smaller than an average car repair bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've really enjoyed it as something different (which took me by surprise a bit). I've compared it to Kill Bill but even then that doesn't really do it justice. This is a TV series after all, and it does what it intends to do brilliantly. I'm not surprised it has been commissioned for a second series and I suppose a very well done must go to BBC America.
