She's 80,.very old fashioned and set in her ways as most are, when we lost my Dad 5 years ago we bought her a smart tv and she watches our Netflix, it's the only reason I keep paying for it tbh. Anyway, after 5 years, she's finally got the gist of what button does what but in the mean time has become addicted to all things Scandi and absolutely everything Korean, everything, teen pop culture, genius horror, you name it sehe loves it and during lockdown It kept her going sweet as a nut. Hope you don't mind me sharing that, it makes me smile every day. Edited September 29, 2021 by Phil Silvers 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At all. I found myself rooting for Otis to stay with Ruby. I think what they did with her character was excellent and then they kind of abandoned it halfway through for Otis to get back with Maeve. I get that that was always going to happen. But I'd have liked them to draw out the Ruby storyline a bit longer before that happened. Felt like there was more there to cover. Maybe they'll revisit it Thought exactly the same and said so to my wife while watching it. Spoiler Part of me hopes Maeve doesn't come back from the States as she's developed into an annoying character whilst Ruby has grown with decent backstory and depth. To end their relationship that quickly and in that way when she'd just grown and opened up to Otis felt wrong. She is also a lot better looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any chance that they'll do that though. Which is my biggest issue with the show. i.e. Spoiler I don't actually want Otis and Maeve to end up together But that's obviously what the whole show is building towards.

Spoiler I also thought it was a tad predictable that they all would rebel against Hope in a OTT fashion which leads to the school closing. Surprised how much Adam grew through the seasons and he became a favourite character with a lot of depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 30 minutes into Mare of Eastwood, and I shut it off. Bad dialogue. Winslets American accent is off-putting, too. The depressing scenery doesn't help either. Cliches abound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Winslet did a better Yank-cent in Titanic. I do find it weird when Americans and Brits and Irish and Aussies are cast as each other when the speaking voice is so elemental to the role. Why take risk? That said, there have been some solid performances over the years. Looking at Many Saints of Newark trailer and I see that Brian Cox has a role as some Italian American mafia guy. What a mistake. So many actual Italian American actors from New Jersey that could lend total authenticity to the role. Really odd casting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
