Just finished the last season, won't be everyone's cup of tea but it really was an amazing series. 9/10 I watched the first two seasons but got bored / irritated with the constant time shifts so sacked it. It is pretty good but just didnt hold my interest On 10/06/2022 at 23:24, milky_26 said: just been renewed for season 4 I just cant get into it.

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 14 hours ago, PortyJambo said: The Lazarus Project, a time travel thriller on Sky Max. It's decent viewing, and quite a bit more character driven than other similar time travel shows that have gone before. I found the main character's actions a bit annoying, due to the depths of what he goes to to "reset" a tragedy in his life, but I suppose that's also the moral question of time travel, what would you do and to who to fix something in your life if you had the chance. There are a few gaping plot holes and unrealistic actions, which seems to always be the case with time travel shows, but I quite enjoyed it and hopefully there'll be a second season to continue the story (warning, it does end on a cliffhanger). 7.5/10 overall I love anything related to time travel in films or tv as i find it a fascinating subject. Ill need to hunt this down. Most of the issues related to time travel have been done before in films or tv but still worthwhile watching. One of my all time favourite films is "Peggy sue got married" where Kathleen Turner goes back to her prom night and has to decide whether to stick with her layabout husband or ditch him . However this would clearly change her life and children's. Its a great twist on the usual sci fi convention of these films as its more a romantic and emotional story and whacky comedy supplied by Nicolas Cage.

1971fozzy Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Our Father on Netflix. Crikey, story about how a fertility doctor used his own sperm on countless patients who then had children. Obviously they thought it was legit donors but this sicko illegally (you’d think, but not in this US state) biologically fathered at least 91 children in a 25 mile radius. Horrendous. This shows the story and the feked up legal system in the US. Those poor folk, it’s destroyed so many lives. A very hard watch.

Cade Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Managed to totally miss Season 3 of Snowpiercer. Catching up on it now and it remains a decent thriller with the silliest premise you can imagine; Ecological disaster leads to the world freezing over and the only survivors are people on board a giant, almost self-sufficient 1,000 car-long train built by an evil but eccentric genius billionaire. Lots of class war, backstabbing, switches of loyalty and violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Re watched “ Cracker “ again . Still holds up well despite being 25 years old . Can’t believe the smoking of smoking in it , pubs , cop shops , etc . The stand up episodes for me was “ Best boys “ Where Liam Cunningham and John Simm played a repressed gay couple on a murder spree . It really was ahead of its time with its sensitive study of a gay couple , albeit very dysfunctional . I recall when it was first on , remarking that John Simm was an actor to look out for . He had a future . The other episodes with Robert Carlyle as the skin headed Hillborough survivor were also excellent . “ to be a somebody “ I liked the mix of psychology and police procedure now overdone in dramas but at the time was quite unique . Robbie Coltrane was terrific as Fitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did watch it when it came out and it stays with me that Trump took out a full page advert calling for their death penalty and even with their acquital and subsequent admission by the guilty party he won't admit he was wrong.

Fraggle Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Season 3 of The Boys has been spectacular. When I was reading the previews a few months before it released, the producers promised a scene to top the whale scene from season 2. Safe to say they managed that within the first 10 mins of the new season. Is it just me, or does the girl who plays Starlight look like she has had a lot of plastic surgery done since season 1? Not really been interested with West World since the end of season 2, but might need to give season 3 and 4 a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
