sne Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The Terminal List was OK I guess. Typical paint by numbers invincible US super soldier (but with a family so you know he's a good guy) goes around murdering people. It's all a conspiracy of course and it contains a plot twist that is so obvious that even Stevie Wonder saw it coming. 6/10 passable content filler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised it got such high ratings, it was bang average imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again Amazon owns IMDB so since this is a Amazon show they might be helping a bit with those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked me a bit of Cokey Smurf Pretty funny show, around 25 minutes per episode so easy to binge. I really enjoy the scenes where Pamela Adlon is on the toilet...

wazzap24 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Blackbird is some seriously good TV. I’d considered ditching Apple TV, but they seem to be coming good. Severance, The Last Days Of Ptolemy Grey, Ted Lasso and now Blackbird have been superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised about the lack of chatter on here about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth finding on the high seas if Apple TV isn't on your shopping list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Nicolas Winding Refn’s ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’ being screened 'out of competition' at Venice film festival and coming later this year to netflix. Lars von Trier's 'The Kingdom Exodus' also being shown at Venice, is going to be on Mubi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Flintoff’s Field of Dreams is the first TV programme that’s made me cry in a while. Really big hearted and interesting… thought it was going to be a bit patronising, but it takes everyone seriously and tells their stories well, and Flintoff comes across as a decent man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised D1 given your usual excellent taste! I find it NBC/CBS network TV filler at best. The lead actor is just too pretty and chiseled to be taken seriously. The lead psycho is intriguing but ultimately a caricature and I think they've tried to wring too many episodes out of it. Would have been a great 2 parter if done right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great so far, really well written and superbly acted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remind me of True Detective, it has the same, slow burning, evil vibe to it. It’s superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's Bisa Homes League compared to Season 1 of TD. As @Designer1 says each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Apparently Amazon has decided to cash in on the 80's nostalgia that Netflix and others are having with Stranger Things and how now released their own attempt with Paper Girls. It's Amazon so you get what you always get with them. But this one also has time travel so you know it's gonna be good Anyway it's supposedly not a complete dumpster fire and it's out today.
