I was really enjoying it up until now but seeing seeing Adrian Brody appear has ****ed it for me. Totally pulled me out. 😞 The biggest over actor around. Though oddly he was in the first episode of Poker Face and actually was ok as he wasn't going the full over active Al Pacino he's guilty of a lot of the time. He was bloody awful in Peaky Blinders.

Americana Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Four episodes into "The Terminal List" its progressing nicely, put it off for awhile as I honestly believe Chris Pratt is one of Hollywoods worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Poker face is absolutely brilliant. Great lead and brilliant supporting cast in each episide. Ron Pearlman, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Nick Nolte, Ellen Barker are a few of the faces i recognised. Even though its set in the modern day it has a real 70s/80s tv vibe about it.

Very much reminiscent of Colombo, but in a modern and fond way, not taking the piss out of 70's/80's shows or just being a remake of those shows. I enjoy Natasha Lyonne as an actor too, she was good in Russian Doll as well, and I like that kind of "cooky" type of woman. She certainly seems to channel her inner Peter Falk at times in the show as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Started on “ succession “ but struggling to get into it . I’m now on episode 4 but it feels like a slog . I’ve patched it for now and replaced it with “ yellow jackets “ jezz what a difference , it’s already got me riveted and I’ve just finished episode 2 . It’s great . I was thinking that Juliette Lewis looks a lot older than the other older class mates but it’s actually very clever casting as it appears her younger character is a drug user and alcoholic so she more “ disheveled “ . Also she’s a great actress . Always liked her . Terrific screen presence and that voice 😎. im looking forward to binging on the rest of it .

Gizmo Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Strange New Worlds returns with Season 2 today. Been missing Star Trek since the amazing Picard S3 finished. I enjoyed the first season, some good characters I got to know much quicker than those in ST:Discovery. Only thing that jars occasionally is the very informal way characters interact compared with more 'stiff' Trek like TOS or TNG. Black Mirror S6. Booker himself admitted that our last few years of increasingly dystopian existence was hard to write around as he likes to be predicting stuff not reacting. Let's see if the episodes are decent for this season. Edited June 15, 2023 by Gizmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Strange New Worlds a bit "meh" in the first episode of Season Two. Lots of time padding nonsense. Characters spout one or two lines then stand around "looking intense" as the music swells for about 30 seconds before cutting to the next scene, where the exact feckin thing happens again. Lots of slow motion gobshite to pad out the run time too. Not a strong opener and a troubling sign that the writing standard may have fallen off a cliff so it's all aboard the time padding train.....

I stream most tv these days, at 1.5x speed with subtitles on. Almost every programme has a shit-ton of time padding in it these days. Lots of soaring music over absolutely nothing happening. Characters reel off a couple of lines then stand there looking intense as more soaring music tries to import the gravity of the situation. Because the audience is otherwise too thick to understand what's going on and how to feel unless given musical cues. Lots of long, lingering establishing shots with absolutely nothing happening. Lots of other pish that serves no purpose than to pad out the run time. Feck that nonsense. Blaze through it on 1.5x speed and get the story telt.
