Tazio Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 3 episodes done and it’s good. Clearly aimed at 1 season so less deep development of stories and characters but overall enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Previously recommended in early 2022 on this thread, Hidden Assets is a Belgian-Irish co-production, a detective drama about terrorism, organised crime, political conspiracy and stuff like that. BBC Four had series 1, and it's still available on the iPlayer somewhere. Season 2 started a couple of weeks ago on RTÉ, and is on the RTÉ player. S2 is a continuation of S1, and IMO both are worth watching. https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2022/hidden-assets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities Light-horror anthology, very much in the same vein as "Tales of the Unexpected" or "The Twilight Zone". 8 stand-alone episodes all by different directors telling macabre stories, ranging from Lovecraft adaptations to psychological horrors to demons, monsters, ghosts; all that sort of thing. Each episode has a distinct look and feel, and each episode is hated by some viewers and loved by others. Some people just "get" what a particular director is doing, and others don't. Well worth your time. Some pretty big name stars on show, or at least some recognisable faces. Hard to give the series as a whole a rating, due to each episode being so different.

I am pretty sure someone Scottish is involved in the writing or direction. Spoiler A character appears who is a torturer wearing a kilt.

Trajan Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Finished binging Arcane on Netflix. I'm not usually one for animated series, but this was visually stunning with excellent voice acting to compliment it. I can't really say anything about the (very decent) story without giving away major spoilers, but it doesn't hold back with the action and has some real gut-punching moments. What really made it special for me, though, was the character depth and development. It doesn't have a single one- or two-dimensional character - you can understand each of their perspectives and motives (even if you don't agree with them). I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I did, but the series is now one of my favourites. Also, Silco is right up there with Heath Ledger's Joker as one of the best villains I've ever seen.

It's maybe not as amazing as the original show, but it's still great. Hope they make more of them, I've never read the books they're based on by Elmore Leonard, but there must be more that they can use as source material. On a side-note, I've noticed that with shows like this one with sex/swearing/violence/drugs on Disney+....the only warning they put up on screen before the show is "contain scenes depicting tobacco" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 For some reason I'd never watched Black Mirror, despite being a fan of Charlie Brooker's works. Binged a couple of episodes a day and I'm up to season 4 now and thoroughly enjoying it. Quality is a bit variable, but that's always the way in anthology series. A little bit over-use of VR/AR, as if that's all the writers could come up with, but they manage to just about do something different enough with that same premise in each episode to keep it from getting too stale. I also enjoy spotting the various easter eggs and references to previous episodes, confirming that it's all based in the same world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) On 03/09/2023 at 21:04, PortyJambo said: A spinoff from The Boys, set in a college for superheroes, starts on Prime later this month. The next season of the main show won't be on until next year, so might be something to watch in the meantime Gen V is a decent offering in The Boys franchise. Even though a franchise of a Superhero series that rips the piss out of Superhero franchises is a bit too meta (and hypocritical) for me. Three episodes in and so far it's every bit as violent and bitingly satirical as The Boys itself. I'm hoping it's going to be a stand-alone spinoff thing and not tie in directly to The Boys, like what Star Wars are doing with all their nonsense. The animated series "Diabolical" was also decent fun and expanded on The Boys setting without being a necessary watch. There remains the threat of the whole franchise becoming formulaic. Wacky super powers. Shock for the sake of shock. Vought being evil. That will get boring very quickly if they get caught in those same few tropes. But for now it's still fun. Gen V is worth a watch.

Cade Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) I was going to recommend The John Wick spinoff/prequel series The Continental based on the first two episodes, which were good fun and were building to a decent finish but then it shat the bed in the finale and went dub as feck so I cannot recommend it. Rushed the final episode, visited just about every lazy cliche in the film making arsenal and left a sour taste in the mouth. 4/10 series score.

This shows how he was able to get away with things for so long and is a platform for some of his victims to have their voices heard. I thought Coogan played the role well but it still sickens me that we still have folk like Saville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
