Say What Again Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Another who doesn't get the hype surrounding The Sinner. I found it just too far fetched at times, along with just being plain weird at some points. Spoiler The fact a detective (who's superior has already questioned how close he was getting to the suspect) was allowed to take her out of jail to go visit places to jog her memory, alone, with no other officers present. The fact she was allowed to even go to these places like she was some kind of psychic. Then the police seemed to act on her vague recollections, without any background work, just like they were fact. That's all before we even get to the dying, bed-ridden sister, who can't even walk down three steps to get out of the house, then half hour later is gubbing ecstasy, downing shots and up on the dancefloor Really enjoyed Godless, following the recommendations on here. I thought Jeff Daniels was excellent. Though in the interest of fairness, while I loved the final episode.... Spoiler Bit of a stupid plan from Frank and his gang to just huddle like sitting ducks in front of the hotel cum fortress.... and poor Whitey , but WTF was he doing just walking out the door to face a gang of 30 killers - who you knew had come to town to kill you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how to put spoilers on this but a few more to add to your plot holes you noted. I guess I was like others and got caught up on the hype via Facebook / Twitter when it was stated " that millions were loving this show and bingeing on it". That might have been true but doesn't mean it is any good . Lesson learnt. Artistic quality and popularity rarely meet !! I'm starting on " Alias Grace" it has had fine reviews. Looks good. .

Unknown user Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I can recommend a TV show to avoid - Last Man On Earth.

I lost respect for it quickly, I liked him as the humpty last survivor and the conniving dick but in the second series his characterful completely changed. I liked him and his wife in flight of the conchords, I like the old bird who was in 40 year old virgin, I just don't like this show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Religion of Sports on Netflix.
