Make sure your watching it with the missus or significant other...
All the fighting and riding is like giving her an invisible fingering. 
Guaranteed the ride after it.

The final season is utter muck, though. Creators wanted out and killed everything that made the preceding seasons so enjoyable.

There are post credit scenes on most if not all episodes, too. In case you're skipping past them.

I'll just say that's she's enjoying it so far!

Didn't realise that about the post credits, watching them on NowTV and the next episode starts during the credits of the last one

Nee Shane Meadow's yoke called The Gallow's Pole. Anyone check it out? He's generally a safe bet.

Time for a well-deserved total change of genre: finally started Deadwood tonight! 

Season 1 down. Yeah, really great show, really well thought out, keeps you guessing all the time, in fairly unexpected and narrative rich ways too. First ep of season 2 indicates gonna keep heading in that kind of direction; one of the best eps so far.

Now this is a prospect I don't think anyone could have predicted: Nicolas Winding Refn creating a mini series based on Enid Blyton's Famous Five.

Oh fucking marvelous!
I hope it's really diverse and inclusive.
Hopefully Julian will be a shirt-lifter, Dick will be black, George will be a tranny, and Ann will be an Asian dyke who is eyeing up Timmy the fucking dog to boil him alive and eat him.
Instead of going to Kerrin island for a picnic of ginger beer and hard boiled eggs they could go to Epsteins island for an orgy of Dutch Gold and poppers whilst they celebrate "pride".
And How proud aunt Fanny and uncle Quentin will be.

Good lord!

Think the predictions from the Son above here will be far more conservative than the actual outcome. Could have been fun a few years ago when it wasn't so absolutely predictable. It's getting to a stage of shoehorning things in that it's starting to affect things from a quality and artistic standpoint. Imagine if every artist has to work within certain acceptably controversial constraints it's not going to help things it's just stupid.

Hopefully this famous 5 thing will be so good that I'll change my mind but I'm not willing to put money on it.

Guessing neither of you are overly familiar with Refn's previous work..? 

[Trev]

George will be a tranny

So just like the books then

Guessing neither of you are overly familiar with Refn's previous work..? 

I've seen some of the films mentioned but my guess is going by what's in the article, and given the perception of blyton's work in the modern day it's a fair bet it'll try to do something with that.

Actually haven't heard of the neon demon at all

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Proof will be in the pudding so not impossible I'll end up with egg on my face on this, but "predictable" is def not an adjective that fits Refn's output, much less "woke". The Pusher trilogy, Bronson, Valhalla Rising, Drive, The Neon Demon... personally I won't be trying to predict what his take on Blyton will be like. Still haven't seen the two other tv series he directed, Too Old To Die Young and the more recent Copenhagen Cowboy. Any of ye?

[Carnage]

He's making it for the BBC and in the article he mentions "bringing these iconic stories to life for a progressive new audience". I have my doubts as to how 'Refny' it'll be.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Why, at this stage in his career, would he accept to do anything where he was going to have significant creative constraint on him? Looking at his catalogue, I'm not sure Refn understands "progressive" in the same way that, say, a journalist for the Daily Mail would. But sure we'll see!

[son of the Morrigan]

George will be a tranny

So just like the books then

Nope, you'r mixing up tomboy and tranny there.

[son of the Morrigan]

Guessing neither of you are overly familiar with Refn's previous work..? 

I've never heard of him, just going off the rest of the "reinterpretations" being made.
i sincerely hope i'm wrong.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Rather! Well, we're all just chuffed you didn't bother informing yourself, otherwise we might have been deprived of your jolly hilarious and oh-so fresh send up of woke culture, what-ho!
