It's more a reworking of an old episode than a new story. Edited October 9, 2020 by sharkyvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_75 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Enjoyed "The Comey Rule", it could of been trimmed in length a bit, but other than that its worth a watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The Haunting of Bly Manor is out today, getting decent reviews but supposedly not as good as The Haunting of Hill House which I thought was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't caught the second series yet but the show (and comic) is excellent. You can tell Ennis has disdain for superheroes. Worst thing about the show is Urbans' accent, and even that I've spun as either the character just being Australian or having spent a lot of time there, even if it's not true of the comic.

dubbs Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Criminal on Netflix. A series set in a police interview room, really interesting programme. The one about the pedophile vigilante was particularly intriguing. Can't get into the foreign versions though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Season 2 The Boys. Slow start and felt they were losing it, but the last few episodes superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The speed with which shows are cancelled these days is pretty irritating, and I've realised that the main effect is putting me off starting many shows because I don't want to get emotionally invested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm exactly the same. Spent 40 minutes earlier going through Netflix series, Googling them to see if they were well received and invariably seeing they were cancelled before their time. Didn't end up watching anything in the end. Doesn't help that there is so much content to trawl through and I'm indecisive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 3 eps in and I'm enjoying the start of The Haunting of Bly Manor. There is a lot of things that are familiar so far compared to Haunting of Hill House (settings, lighting, type of story...) and due to that you know what to look for in some scenes when people act in a certain way. But it's still good and if you like me enjoy this type of stuff you'll probably like this too. Don't see it living up to Hill House in the end but that's OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t watch Netflix originals, they pretty much all get cancelled after 2 seasons. Not so bad with series made by normal TV channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so bad with series made by normal TV channels. An actor friend of mine said that Netflix commission one season but everyone involved is optioned for two. As such a successful show will be recommissioned for a second season as no pay rises are needed. If it’s still successful by the end of the second season, everyone involved will want a pay rise, making a third series unaffordable. Obviously there are some exceptions to that but it seems to be the way Netflix plan most of their shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Watched "Ratched" episode one. Well, part of it, too boring. Switched to Cobra Kai which is OK even with the hugely telegraphed storylines. Oh and yet again a TV show that portrays US schools to be full of bullies, pricks and words removed. can anyone from over there tell me if this is actually true? Because every single TV show or movie involving high school or college makes US kids out to be absolutely **** horrendous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) I have been rewatching A Touch of Cloth, after realising I never watched the last couple. It's Charlie Brooker at his best. There aren't many shows that can sustain such constant laughs for me, I love it.
