The real one, actually. House of the Dragon is over soon, I think, and it's the only one I'm watching at the moment. I mean apart from Andor. But Andor is on the urgent list.

Good to know I have also run out of new series to watch, so this will be a welcome addition. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pretty massive backlog of shows to go through now because once I finished Better Call Saul I thought "well that was decent, but I want to watch Breaking Bad again now" - I've still got Westworld & the Game of Thrones show to go through and And/or - but I'll check this out when I've gone through all those!

Moderator Tommy 12,611 Posted October 22, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2022 Just watched the first episode. Started off really entertaining, but also got really intriguing towards the end. I also like how the episode ended with the absolute banger "London Calling" for no apparent reason (apart from the few British characters).

I just watched the second episode, and I think it is getting even better. The first episode was good but I was still a bit unsure about it, but the next one really won me over! Also, "London Calling" definitely has a reason You'll see. On a side note - "To see a world in a grain of sand. A heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and an eternity in an hour". Does it look like anything to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,611 Posted October 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2022 Oh wow, that 2nd episode was absolutely fantastic. And yea, I get the London Calling now. Not sure if it's Jonathan Nolan's influence, but in the first episode, I already thought this all feels very Christopher Nolan-ish. And now in the 2nd episode, they basically had a protagonist explain everything to Flynne, which is VERY Christopher Nolan-ish. Also what's up with all the giant statue-thingies in 2100? Looks fantastic, but eerie as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that driver/bodyguard thing in the first episode reminded me of those white faceless things from the latest Westworld season. Also Flynne's android body being in 2100 while she was not controlling it, just mindlessly looking at people without really being there was kind of interesting and eerie.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted December 9, 2022 Author Subscriber Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think this show is a bit under radar, which is a pity, as I think it's very good, cerebral sci-fi. Just finished watching Season 1 yesterday, hope they'll renew it. Introducing Alexandra Billings as Inspector Lowbeer was such a great thing, her character improves the show a lot.

Moderator Tommy 12,611 Posted December 14, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just finished Season 1, and I agree, it's very good. Sometimes it felt a bit all over the place, and it wasn't the best thing I've watched this year, but still very good. And yes, Lowbeer is amazing! But I also liked Cherise and Leon a lot. There's definitely a lot of interesting characters around. But... It made me laugh that they introduced that supposedly tough as nails hitman, and he struggled at almost every fight he got into, and then got taken out by a sniper from outside the building. Very underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very underwhelming. Somehow I missed this post completely so I'm replying super late, but yeah, I agree with it all. The show has its flaws and its not the best thing ever or even this year, but it's very solid and introduces some interesting ideas and themes. I particularly liked the idea of "The Jackpot", thought it was really believable and also explained well. Scary, when you think about it. I hope there is Season 2, as the story has a lot of potential and I would like to see how it develops. Amazon haven't renewed or canceled it yet, so it's unclear at the moment. With the latest trend of networks canceling most shows that don't become instant hits and go viral, I'm not that optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
