mottaloo Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Douglas is cancelled. I tried to give it a chance....but it's really going nowhere, unless I am missing subtle digs at the industry ? Meh 3/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are twists later on. A solid 7/10 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued because I adore the movie and I like Taika when he's not going OTT (which he is capable of doing ***Love and Thunder***) - have you watched any of it? Only two episodes available so far. Watched them last night and quite enjoyed it. It's clear they're trying to invoke the spirit of Goonies-type films from the 80s, a bit like Cornish's The Kid Who Would be King. I'm hoping it gets better as I was slightly underwhelmed so far (but then I did watch it at 1am so it might just be that I was too tired to give it my full attention).

Always meant to go back and give it another viewing. Might well do that while I wait for more episodes to be available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted July 26 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26 Watched the first five episodes of the final season of Cobra Kai. Yeah, I'm glad they are wrapping it up with this series. It's been a good bit of fun on the whole but it's definitely lost it's spark from the first couple of seasons, and the amount of recycling of storylines is getting silly now. One big positive (again) though is Peyton List. She's a great actor and hopefully she'll go on to bigger and better things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it all the other day, and I still can't get my head round why Karate is still so popular in the Valley? Also they're all in their late teens, shouldn't they be doing drugs, getting drunk, and trying to get it on with each other? What's wrong with those kids? Anyway, I'm gutted we have to wait till November for the final episodes. Edited July 26 by dAVe80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original film came out when I was 18 and already running wild, so it never resonated with me like it has with people a bit younger. Same but even more so with Goonies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Watched 3 episodes of Eric and tapped out. Quite possibly the dullest, slowest TV show I've ever watched, with a thoroughly unlikeable lead, and not in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Another great Larry David moment, "I had her in my Blackberry under Denise Handicapped." He's just too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 28 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28 (edited) Also late to the party, but now the first three series of Yellowstone are on C5, we're watching that. Cheesy AF, but enjoyable. Like a 21st Century 'Dallas'. And for yet another bit of Euro police procedural, Ice Cold Murders (Rocco Schiavone) on C4 is fun.

Yeah I binged all 5 when they came out , I need closure on the story Seeing the story arc of Johnny in season 1 was great and I’ve enjoyed the little bits of nostalgia but they need to wrap it up now , indeed should have done after 2 seasons / 3 at a stretch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 28 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28 My (related) contribution to the cobra kai chat is that there are two Peyton Lists. A little slip up from the screen actors guild. I’m vaguely more familiar with the one that’s not in cobra kai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
