Quote from: Born of Fire on October 09, 2022, 04:20:36 AMWatched the first few episodes of the new season of Archer. Quality had dipped big time since the introduction of the coma stuff but I feel that this is a good return to the classic Archer humour. Also great to watch something that's only about 20 minutes long instead for a change!

I see too that The Walking Dead is closing in on its long overdue finale. I bowed out in season 7 I think it was. There was a time when it was must watch for me but jesus did it go downhill spectacularly. Couldn't hack anymore of the 1 or 2 brilliant episodes per season sandwiched between tedious shite.
exactly the same man. Me and a few friends used to meet up every Friday night for a few beers to watch the newest episodes. It was brilliant for years and then it just got very weak. I stopped when most of the main actors left the show. I don't know what season that was now. They should have wrapped it up then I reckon

Prequel Dune series coming to HBO, Dune: The Sisterhood. Set 10,000 years prior to the first book. Based on one of the books by the son. Could really go either way this one.

For fans of dub/sound systems/punk...Massive Attack doc on BBC4 tonight 22.30

Just watching it now, plenty of background stuff on how the 'scene' formed but little or nothing about them or the album at all.

It was fairly disappointing in the end and way too short.

Chanced upon Wolf Hall when going through the 'on demand' section on the Sky box, spent yesterday watching it. Excellent stuff, though obviously a huge amount of the books' material is skipped or barely touched. Looking forward to the second season now, which covers the third book.

Last episode I saw of that was when the Chinese lad got the bad doing but I'd fairly lost interest well before that. Is the spin-off any cop? I quite enjoyed the rip off too, black summer on netflix but it was starting to get into a bit of the drama so I don't have high hopes for how that'll turn out either.

Haven't read any of the son's books but hopefully it'll be worth a go.

I thought the spin off was more of the same to be honest. I only watched the first season and left it at that

Ah fuck it I'll probably give it a miss so if it's like that. Sound

Finished S3 of See. Excellent especially after S2 being a bit slow. Wrapped up really well.

Watched the first 2 EPs of S2 of Gangs of London. Had to watch a recap of the first season cos it's been so fuckin long but so far so good.

Watched latest season of Westworld. It picked up in the last coupla eps but with characters repeatedly killed and then refabricated, it kinda ruined all emotional investment in the story. With Nolan's new show, The Peripheral, I don't know if there's any urgency on writing another season. That said, he's said that S5 would be the final season if/when it gets renewed.

On Westworld it just got too convoluted. Season 1 was fantastic. The rest is a bit of a mess.

On Archer. If I was 20 I'd love it but watched the first 3 episodes I think and hated it.

Gonna check out The Peripheral. Heard good things.

And lastly have 2 seasons left in the rewatch of Seinfeld. It's just fantastic.

Agree with the Westworld critique, as soon as they added the outside world craic it feel apart. Same issue I had with handmaid's tale, which was great when the focus was on small community/household. As soon as the bigger world building came in to play the both just got messy.

Rewatching true detective season 1. Just watched ep 4 that ends with the 1 shot take... Still one of the best seasons of telly

Harrelson and McConaughey eating up the screen. Gonna rewatch it soon myself. And that one shot take. One of the best things ever filmed.

Had a Wu-Tang tune playing as well if my memory serves me. Must revisit that first season as well.
