Gavman81 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The Frozen Dead Not a spin off with Rick Grimes where they're all cold, but a really good, layered , French murder / mystery Spent 15 minutes watching it with the audio description on though.

Both binned it after two episodes as the main characters annoyed them so much. Looks like it's just they two that have similar tastes Amazing similar actually!

I think it looks well enough made. and has some good actors/actresses but the script is all over the place. its 40 AD or whatever and they speak very modern/slang. Even little things like using dad instead of father or phrases like "bigger fish to fry" im not expecting ultra realism but it just seems out of place, odd vibe to it all. Also think despite some decent actors its been wrongly cast in many parts. The main roman general guy needed to be way more sinister. Instead he looks like he is the type of guy trying to sell me a phone contract or some new double glazed windows lol Its not terrible but somethings just not working for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Burgundy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Been waiting patiently for this and first impressions are that it's bollocks.

Say What Again Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I’d made my mind up it would be bollocks from the adverts. Some of the scenes I couldn’t decide if it was meant to be a spoof or even a comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Dave Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Just to follow up on Halt and Catch Fire...... If you grew up in the 80’s and are slightly nerdy when it comes to tech like me, then I recommend this show. Blasted through two seasons now and I’ve really enjoyed it. 8.3/10 on IMDB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I hesitate to recommend it, as basically it’s pretty shit, but I laughed a lot at Man like Mobeen (4 episodes on Catch up on BBC2) its a 20minutes a time short comedy set amongst the Muslim community on a big estate (and it might help that I’ve worked a lot with Muslim groups in the past) and it catches the sense of humour very well. There’s something very appealing about the duff characters and their situation. Should be standard watching in Schools IMO give it a try, you won’t waste much of your life as it’s only 80 minutes in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
