I thought it might be toned down for TV from the movie version but, from the 2 episodes I've watched so far, it has the same sense of humour and doesn't ease off on the swearing or gross humour. Enjoying it so far, as long as they keep that up. It took me a while to get used to different actors but as a prequal, I think it does a decent job. I didnt notice a drop off in the humour but then again, I am quite easily pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 American nightmare on Netflix is decent. True story and one that must have the relevant police force and federal agents cringing in embarrassment and shame. Hopefully certain officers are no longer serving as their conduct was just plain criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear few Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Not sure if it’s been mentioned before but For All Mankind on Apple + or a hooky 🔥stick is excellent. 4 seasons and i’ve just finished the 1st. Alternate NASA space race storyline that starts a bit like Mad Men in space and continues through the decades. Highly recommended by me…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to argue with much of this, season 1 was insanely good, I actually really liked season 3 too. Season 2 was a massive disappointment but, I would caveat that with the opinion that Taylor Kitch and Rachel McAdam were both very good in it What really got me was they haven't learned what made it riveting in the first place. Season 1+3 worked so well because the central actors were tormented by their own unsolved case from years before, switching timelines to see where it faltered and the payoff of it finally being solved. Their anguish was what drove the show and the telling of the story over numerous years was what invested you on their personal crusades. Now season 4, I wasn't averse to the supernatural element of it, at the end.of the day it is tying into the beliefs of the native people but it was very poorly executed. Danvers was a one dimensional bitch, Foster tried to add depth but the character was as shallow as a puddle. Navarro was even less fleshed out which is a shame because she had the potential to be a very interesting character, in the end she was defined by having a 'tragic history' and being 'part-native' but that does not a character make! I think Kali Reis actually did very well but had very little to work with. In the end I think that the writers knew they had no satisfactory way of tying it all up and rushed to finish it, the whole thing seemed underdeveloped and totally devoid of the tension that constant night should bring.

Cade Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 From what I've read in interviews, TD Shite Country wasn't even originally written to be part of the TD series. It was its own thing, which was then tacked onto the TD franchise late on, hence all the heavy handed references to previous TD seasons, characters, companies and locations. It also feels to me like a 2 1/2 hour movie that was padded out into a 6-part TV show. Very, very poor all round. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone that's daft enough to put themselves through it, but the plotline was absolutely feckin ridiculous and the conclusion is astoundingly bad.
