Nothing's really happening. but it is...seriously everything is happening right in front of you but its only the last 3/4 episodes that tells you the relevance of what its showing you, took me until episode 6 to really get in to it i think the biggest twist in the whole series is revealed within the first 20 minutes if you know what you're looking for Edited December 22, 2016 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drama: 1. Game of Thrones 2. The Night Of 3. Stranger Things 4. Deutschland 83 5. Ash vs Evil Dead. Comedy: 1, Atlanta 2. Silicone Valley 3. Catastrophe 4. Fleabag 5.

Nothing's really happening. I was exactly the same mate. The first 5 or 6 episodes were just about holding my attention but now, having finished it, I realise that I really need to watch it again, and will be doing so this week. As a series it was brilliant, and I now realise that the relevance of those first episodes flew right over my head at the time. Stick with it for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Deutschland 83 was amazing. That definitely gets my vote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) The reactions to Westworld always interest me. I was absolutely hooked by the end of the second episode, I thought it was pretty clear at that point that all wasn't as it seemed, and had a few hunches already, two of which were right, one was way, way off base. My anecdotal experiences so far suggest that the people not gripped in the first few episodes have absolutely no idea what's going on. Basically, if you're not enjoying it, I think you need to up your game. Edited December 22, 2016 by Davkaus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Or the people gripped in the first few episodes are fan boy types who aren't used to seeing naked bodies and thus hooked im not really sure why I even bothered seeing it through to the end tbh it was duller than an episode of eastenders Edited December 22, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can guess the general direction it's going to take (or at least I think it's going to take). It just seems that everything that's happened so far could have been done in one episode. I'm not saying it's bad. I wasn't hooked after 4 episodes of The Wire either and that's the greatest TV Show ever made. Just that if it wasn't for the rave reviews I'd have binned this off already. And for the record, my missus REALLY isn't enjoying it. But that genuinely is because she has no idea what's going on Edited December 22, 2016 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Rewatching It's Always Sunny from the beginning this last week. So many hilarious moments. I've been binging on it like crazy, I'm already on season four. Just finished watching 'Who Pooped the Bed'. Absolute genius.
