Bigsmak Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Watched season 2 of Extraordinary - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14531842/ _ I enjoyed both seasons, acting was fine, nice little concept - some funny bits. If you have nothing else to watch or want something light to have on in the background - this works. Started the Dead Boy detectives - Neil Gaiman was the creator. - Much like Sandman and I think there might be a little crossover - 2 episodes in and its OK. Nothing I will remember in a few months time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortyJambo Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I'm a bit behind as it aired at the end of last year, but just finished watching the 2nd season of The Lazarus Project on Sky. The first season was enjoyable enough, if not exactly great, but the 2nd season was a mess. They went down the usual hole of time travel type shows and just confused everything by changing rules they'd set up in the 1st season, so I ended up not having a clue what was going on and there were plot holes galore. Anyway, it was cancelled, so don't need to worry about getting even more confused if it had carried on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Reekin' Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I'm not going to wade through 177 previous pages (sorry), but on the off-chance they've not already been mentioned both 'Blue Lights' (Belfast) & 'Kin' (Dublin) are both brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Dead Boy Detectives Another slice of whimsical, gothic, supernatural comedy/drama from the marvellous mind of Neil Gaiman. Two ghosts run a detective agency helping other ghosts. Set in the same world as The Sandman, with cameos from Sandman characters. Good fun, if you like Gaiman's stuff.

Episode 4 just ludicrous. I am out now thankfully. Aw FA ,I had to watch with the Mrs ,a deal we have with football watching sadly but I have to say if you have a free hour to finish this off you may be emotionally surprised? For a true story with a difficult theme ,once I got past the edgy/? Stuff ,it was a good 8/10 for me 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron78 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 52 minutes ago, Bozi said: Aw snap I thought that was 3, been a while since I watched it Yeah Trinity is the peak It was the perfect point to end the series with everything coming full circle but unfortunately it was too successful at that point to stop. Even the end of season 7 might have worked as an ending if Deb made a different choice of who to shoot but they didn't take that opportunity. In the end we were given a terrible end to season 8 and an even worse one on New Blood. If it had ended on season 4 it would be rated one of the greatest series of all time, in my view.

I do feel that she seems really vulnerable and I'm concerned how all this will affect her psychologically. As for the show, 6/10 for me. Jessica gunning was top drawer tho!

Only thing I didn’t like was the transsexual actress - thought she was really wooden and scripted. The rest of the cast were outstanding. I think that's the main point of her character, being the most stable of everyone else in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right. Netflix will have lawyers falling out their arse and would no way of commissioned the show without all the evidence. She was all over the place in the interview and as much as I dislike Piers Morgan it was like he never went out of first gear because she was so vulnerable. Just my take on it.
