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. Wind up, surely?

They'll spend the first 5 minutes after an ad-break pause to recap everything that happened before the ad break, because the audience is so stupid that they forgot what happened.

I'd read the books a decade or so ago, but couldn't remember too much detail about the storyline...although it came back to me enough that I remembered the twists before they happened, unfortunately. It's good to see books you liked made into TV shows, but the downside to me is not being surprised by the twists. They've made a great job of bringing the silo in the books to the screen though, exactly as I imagined it. Fortunately it's been so long since I read the book trilogy, I can't remember how it all ends up. Edited July 2, 2023 by PortyJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt a fan of the John Hannah ones. I was at an event last month with Ian Rankin in conversation with Richard Coles. I.R. stated that when the rights were sold for Rebus, the production company insisted that John Hannah play Rebus. IIRC Hannah wasnt keen on playing the role but the show wouldnt have been made without him. The books are great, the TV show isnt IMO.

Ken Stott was a much better Rebus than Hannah, he was much more as you imagined Rebus to be like from the books. I like John Hannah as an actor, but he wasn't Rebus. But yes, the TV show never was as good as the books, even with Stott playing him. Edited July 4, 2023 by PortyJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Almost finished " Black mirror". All the episodes have been of a high standard. Well most Some real crackers. My favourites being " Arkangel " " Crocodile" ( Andrea Riseborough terrific in it ) " " Striking vipers" " Loch Henry" and " Joan is awful" ( Salma Hayek was an absolute hoot in this). " Striking vipers" asked a lot of questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
