I think BCS was better too. I feel like I need to go back and rewatch it before getting into the final season or two because I lost the run of it just after the season finale where he burns the brother's house down. Am I even remembering that correctly?? It's been a few years. I love the tone of the show and how it gradually gets darker as he fails again and again. It's such an incremental war of attrition on his character.

Hands down one of the best shows I've ever watched. Pity all other netflix shows aren't up to this standard

Cunting thing isn't on Netflix Australia

Watched the trailer of that lord of the rings show. I think it looks quite good now. Looks great visually, I just hope the story is decent.

I see Nichelle Nichols, the icon who played Lieutenant Uhura, has passed away. Live long and prosper.

Finished the rewatch of Lost this evening.  Actually savage, even enjoyed the two seasons where it is commonly claimed to have come off the rails altogether (S4 & S5), ending is much better now, show flows well and all the little bits from early seasons coming back in towards the end play in nicely - not bad for a show with no plan beyond S1 originally.

Also watched the original Berserk anime alongside it, finished a week or so back - really savage, downbeat, good 90s show.  Paced but full of good action and a deadly plot, but it finishes in the worst fucking place of all time.  Going to have to start into the manga now to pick up from where it left off, sickened there was no more made of it.

I may give Lost a go whenever I finish up The Sopranos rewatch. I haven't seen Lost since it originally aired back in the day. Used to absolutely love it in the beginning but then got disheartened midway through. I remember really liking the second last season and then finding the last season a bit meh. I feel the show would probably sit better being able to watch an episode a night rather than waiting a week and interest waning between seasons.

[Pentagrimes]

Right. Who's watching Sandman? Just finished the first episode. Not impressed.At all.

[Carnage]

I want to read the comic first, I have it all lined up here. Reviews have been good.

[Pentagrimes]

I should stress, I love the comic, but I'm not interested in or expecting a faithful adaptation (nor do I have any issue with race/gender swaps as they've done here, so save your fucking whining nerds). That would be nigh on impossible and frankly ridiculous as it's a different format and I'd rather a decent show with hints of the original than a shit attempt at making it exactly the same.

That's not my gripe. It's the..eh..how do I explain this?..GOT-ization of it. You can tell Netflix see cash cow potential in it from that audience.

Also I don't remember it being explicitly stated anywhere in the comics that they all had posh British accents.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Won't be watching it for a while as I want herself to read the comics before we do, and anyway we've loads of other stuff to get through.

[Giggles]

I watched the first 2 episodes yesterday. It's alright, not amazing, but I've had very low expectations before watching it.

The gender/race swaps do bug me, as I fucking love the comics and I don't want them to change anything about them.
I don't really see the point in swaps other than trying to look woke. Surely they could have found a decent casting for Lucien? Yer wan hasn't warmed to me at all, and she doesn't seem like the type Dream would have looking after the gaf.

[Pentagrimes]

Up to ep3 now and it's definitely in the "ok" bracket but that first episode is shite.
If you're bugged by things not being the same, stop watching it. It's not the comic.
Lucien I'm ok with, the Corinthian sucks though, weirdly because he's pretty much just the comic character. The guy playing him is terrible.

TBH I really don't like the guy playing Morpheus. He seems to think he's in Twilight.

Watched 4 episodes and bailed....found it ok but some bits were painful

[Giggles]

The Corinthian's eyes aren't half scary enough, cgi looks a bit shit.
 
The Hell episode was weak, Brienne of fucking Tarth is a terrible choice to play Lucifer.
The battle was alright, but overall a weak episode.

Got halfway through the diner episode before I had to leave to do something, and it's only alright.
