I enjoyed the flashbacks as much as the present day too, and although I felt the same about younger Hugh at first, I warmed to him quite a bit. I loved how the whole series was directed by the one man, Flanagan (who did the great Gerald's game) as it really helped set and keep the theme and storytelling strong throughout. I was very impressed by it all in all, I don't want to get into details for those that haven't watched but I would urge you to check it out. PS:Theo is very hot indeed. It's not until the end that a lot of scenes come together and make sense... I thought it was very good Quote

MUFC Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I watched it all, not sure why. Daft as this is, I only watched Lost in 2016, went through it all in 3 weeks. The inital phase, first 2 series. No other series has had me so gripped, in my opinion it went a bit mad on lost its way a bit. It could have been much better in the final 2 seasons, maybe a fight against survival and getting off the land for good. Quote

It's a new level of gritty realism with no sugar coating. For me season 4 of The Wire is probably the greatest single season of any show I've ever seen. It set a standard that was hugely influential in kicking off the golden age of TV series that we're currently in. Quote

I was watching with no real expectations after finishing the shield and on holidays with nothing better to do. I imagine expectations would be key and with people hyping it so much now it could well be a different story for those who are late to the party. Quote
Harry Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I'm rewatching Vikings season 1 and loving it. Early Ragnar Rollo and Lags is absolutely where it's at. Quote

I thought it was very good I suppose the denouement of it all at the end wasn't too bad, but I think I was expecting more scary moments (I know I said I didn't like that there were many to begin with!) at the end. It seemed a bit tame and mellow but it was very dark which I did like. Quote
Bluebird Hewitt Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Didn't want to make a topic for this but I think I need to watch more It Ain't Half Hot Mum after this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46931129 Quote

Winsor Davis, the wife told me he had died this morning, we loved watching that show with Windsor Davis, Don Estelle, and Melvyn Hayes, then Davis and Estelle sang and released the song Whispering Grass, a beautiful voice Estelle had and Windsor with a deep Welsh voice with him, that song was a UK No1 hit in 1975, you should have made a topic on it, Windsor Davis was one of the Welsh greats in acting.

I can see why it gets tasty in the middle. I watched 4 episodes yesterday and I'm really enjoying it, too. Plenty of mystery and twists and interesting character traits about it and not just in the obvious ways that you'd relate with a drama like this. I can't quite work out if the main girl (Beck) is hot or not Quote
Eco Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Man on the High Castle. Just a few episodes in, but so far so good. Also going to re-watch Band of Brothers. Quote

IgnisExcubitor Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Started watching You, and three episodes in and the only thing I feel is that this could have been so much darker and better. It seems like a Gossip Girl version of a creepy dude story. And what terrible plot holes. He is standing there, on the road in front of her giant window and she doesn't spot him? Or he is travelling everywhere with her boyfriend's mobile phone, including bringing it to his home and he won't be caught because that? Cause Indian true series regularly show how cell phones get registered in nearby towers and therefore you can tell their positions even on a latter date. Hopefully, this gets better in the coming episodes. On 21/01/2019 at 02:19, Stan said: I can't quite work out if the main girl (Beck) is hot or not She is poor man's Evan Rachel Wood. Still cute though. 7 hours ago, Stan said: Ew, no thanks. She looks like a man Spot on. Peaches on the other hand . Quote
