PortyJambo Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Started to watch 3 Body Problem last night on Netflix. Only a couple of episodes in, but enjoying it so far. I haven't read the books, so don't know how close they're keeping to the storyline but, from a quick glance at Wiki's synopsis, it seems to be reasonably faithful, at least so far. They've changed the cast from a mostly all Chinese one, and China based, of course, but don't think that distracts from the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Homicide New York on Netflix. Documentary series about crimes that happened in New York in the past few decades. Features breakdowns of the individual crimes based on interviews with detectives who worked on the original cases. Interesting stuff for the true crime lovers out there.

By The Light.. Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Dropout on iPlayer This is good easy watching maybe a bit over dramatised but a true story like me you probably know little or nothing about. Theranos Inc. was an American privately held corporation that was touted as a breakthrough health technology company. Founded in 2003 by then 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos raised more than US$700 million from venture capitalists and private investors, resulting in a $10 billion valuation at its peak in 2013 and 2014. The company claimed that it had devised blood tests that required very small amounts of blood and that could be performed rapidly and accurately, all using compact automated devices that the company had developed.

PortyJambo Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I finished 3 Body Problem at the weekend, and still enjoyed it all the way through. The only minus I would say was that it seemed to go a little too fast and you were on the last episode, and then it was finished, before you know it! It maybe could have done with being stretched over a few more episodes. As long as it gets a 2nd season, then it should be fine though, and the amount of money Netflix have thrown at it probably means it'll get at least another season.

Cade Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Fallout (Amazon Prime) Based on the Fallout series of video games. Visually spot on; from sets to props to costumes. Satirical, funny and silly at times, very much in keeping with the games. Uncompromisingly, brutally violent at other times. If you're a fan of the games this will make your brain do all the happy chemicals. An excellent adaptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit sceptical going into it, I’ve really enjoyed it though. As you say, it’s a bit silly at times but I’m definitely glad that I watched it. I’m a big fan of the games and so maybe I’m a wee bit biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 3 Body Problem is alright, I suppose. Not as if there's anything else on at the moment. The premise is interesting but the script is like it's been written by a ten year old. Proper cringe. Sam Tarly playing Sam Tarly being Sam Tarly annoys me too. Sick of that guy and his "I can only play Sam Tarly" acting range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 3 Body Problem doesn't know what it wants to be. One one hand it's trying to be a serious, hard sci-fi drama about an alien invasion, but on the other hand it's cheesy feckin nonsense like a bad 90's b-movie. I doubt I'll come back for any future seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Splatoon Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Adding a late vote for Shōgun. I waited until there were eight out of the ten episodes available before I started watching it, naively thinking the remaining two episodes would be out before I'd worked my way through the backlog. Nope. I binged the absolute s**t out of those eight episodes inside a week, now on the edge of my seat waiting for the last two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
