It’s been fantastic imo, so I’d highly recommend giving it a chance. It’s better than the film and they don’t mess with the book’s ending. It’s pretty much a direct sequel, set 30 years later. It’s awesome. Watchmen picked up a bit towards the latter half of the series. Overall it finished on a respectable 7/10 or a strong 6 for me. Not great, not terrible. (I grade on a Gazzetta dello Sport curve so a 7 is a good grade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Watched a TV mini series about Carlos Tevez's young life. Wasn't amazing, but I rather enjoyed it for some reason. Was called Apache something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how young she actually is? I bet she must be hot. Let me google. Oh. It says life. Carlos Tevez's young LIFE!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzzle Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Been somewhat disappointed with with the new Rick & Morty's although episode 5 was amazing and even the worst episodes are still bloody good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 slow going but now 4 episodes into Mad Men. Think this could be a slow burner hit of a show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Great finish to Watchmen. Far more Leftovers than Lost and Lindelof was true to his word - it had a proper, satisfying ending. It’s right up there for me as one of the best stand alone series of the past few years. Brilliant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzzle Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I have seen nothing but good reviews of The Witcher. It doesn't look that great to me anyway in truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 the reviews I've read suggests its tried to elevate the stories of the 2 women in to the arc of Geralt and as a result makes it a mish mash that if you're in to the games you can just about follow, if you read the books you wont like and if you've never heard of the witcher before then good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of the books so was eager for someone to get it right. It's not perfect by any means though. I think parts of it are very cheesy which is always a bug bear of mine. Particularly stuff around the gyptians. I'd rather it was a bit darker. I also don't think they're doing a very good job of explaining some things. Particularly around the daemons. I don't think they've explained the bond between human and daemon at all well. The part where Spoiler she's about to get Pan cut away from her is absolutely heartbreaking in the book because Pullman does such a good job of explaining how horrendous it would be to be away from your Daemon. There's a part in the book where Pan is pulling away from Lyra and it explains so well how utterly heartbreakign that is for Lyra. The show doesn't do that. I also don't think they've explained the taboo around touching other people's daemons either. The part where Spoiler she's trying to run away in Bolvangar and they stop her by grabbing her daemon should have been shocking. But they'd not really spent much time building up how shocking that would be. I think those are my biggest issues with it. I'm just not sure they're doing a great job of explaining some of it. My other half said she'd be absolutely lost if she didn't have me explaining certain things to her. I'm also not a massive fan of Dafne Keen but she's far better than the girl who played Lyra in the movie version. I'm picking holes in it because I'm so desperate for it to be good. Overall I think they've done a good job and I really hope they do the full trilogy. it's a far better effort than the movie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Thought Ep 1 of The Witcher was pretty promising. Not fantastic by any stretch but not bad. Remains to see how it develops but I'll keep watching for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in it's (the shows) defence, there are some things that are just easier to convey with the written word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
