Popular Post theboyangel Posted July 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2022 So! Just finished Stranger Things S4 and it did not disappoint. It was a very ambitious three way story arc but it worked. Also pleased how effortlessly and nicely the new characters such as Eddie Munsen and Argyle were introduced into the series. Spoiler Liked all three storylines, Hawkins - very decent on its own with the majority of the main plot Eleven being retrained and backstory was also decent Russia with the recovery of Hopper added some great entertainment, especially the use of Maury and Yuri. So together it worked very well. Thought it was a brutal way to leave Max though and wonder what state she'll be in when she comes out of the coma? Spoiler Absolutely gutted about Eddie Munsen Roll on Season 5! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a list of people I wouldn't be alright with them dying, Steve at the top followed by Max, Eddie's impact in this season was so great, he was up there too. Was gutted. All in all fairly satisfactory. Hit all the right parts. Assume Will will be coming out in season 5 too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Westworld season 4 has started apparently. Haven't got the foggiest about what happened in S3 but I remember that guy from Breaking Bad was in it and there was some memory sphere or some such. Ah well, it's raining today...

villa4europe Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Caught up with the boys, glad I did as I loved it but wish I hadn't as I now want more This is America, so much of it is on point as to how I view them They just about got away with shoe horning in the pre existing new characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2022 Gave up with The Boys. I'll go back to it but had no motivation to keep going. Moved back to Stranger Things and will start We Own This City sometime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Klaus reanimation training montage of him dying again and again whilst playing ball with his Dad and listening to Cats in the cradle.

sne Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Finally gotten around to watching For All Mankind. It's not bad actually. It's a bit like The Man in the High Castle-ish what if stuff but without the more fantastical stuff. But about the space race and the cold war instead of Nazis and WW2. A couple eps into s2 and yeah, not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maqroll Posted July 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 Just finished episode 1 of We Own This City and it's as good as I hoped it might be so far. It doesn't spell everything out for you and it's smart. Excellent successor to the Wire as far as I can tell after the first episode. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, against popular demand I think they’re going to force another episode on us next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 If anyone is tempted to watch "Night Sky", don't bother. I liked it but Prime obviously don't as they've shitcanned it after one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Bit the bullet and signed up for apple tv, mainly to see what Ted Lasso is all about. Please tell me that it gets better cos after 2 episodes it's all a bit meh. He's too nice and the feeling I usually get when watching a new series (that it's gonna be a belter) just ain't there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Thanks @villa4europe...I'll treat it as light entertainment then....put a smile on my face as you say. I mean, i love a gritty geezer/Latino drug baron/murder type series but at the same time I love modern family for all its daftness, for the easy watching factor Thanks for your review Edited July 8, 2022 by mottaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
