Re: Decent Recent TV
Realised I could binge the entire Killing Eve so I finished it tonight. Brilliant that was, ending was great too.

Re: Decent Recent TV
I just started it and had to watch the second one straight away. Very good indeed.

Anyone watched Maniac on Netflix? Trying to find something to watch after Killing Eve.

I’m three episodes in, but can’t really get into it. Jonah Hill’s one-note morosity isn’t really helping.NotoriousREV wrote: Fri Oct 05, 2018 7:38 pm Anyone watched Maniac on Netflix? Trying to find something to watch after Killing Eve.
The first few episodes of Series 2 of Big Mouth on the other hand have had me properly lolling. Puerile? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely.

This. But I only managed three quarters of the first episode.Maurice wrote: Sat Oct 06, 2018 10:30 pmI’m three episodes in, but can’t really get into it.

Re: Decent Recent TV
I've just watched the first 2 Killing Eve's. The female assassin is tidy, but Sandra Oh's gopping face always puts me off anything she's in. I'll stick with this though.

The Walking Dead was back last night
The stupid glass floor set piece at the beginning was STUPID. Why walk on or cross the glass floor when they didn’t even have to? The glass floor didn’t meet the stairs!! And what a shit thing there were trying to get - especially when they arrived on a horse drawn wagon
Also farcically enraged woman character, who apparently is totally unaware of where she lives and how the world she lives in works
Followed by an attempt at a dice into modern day politics
Looks like it’s going to be another shit season. Another shit season that I’ll of course be watching

Re: Decent Recent TV
I was bit premature recommending Wanderlust. Last week's hour-long episode was just her in front of her shrink, and this week's was dull and vague. After about 35 minutes I skipped to the end to see what happened, whether there was a moral or something. The only word which passed either of the main characters' lips (and possibly the only sound) in the last minute sounded like 'Meh'. Which was apt.Jobbo wrote: Sat Sep 29, 2018 8:05 am Been watching Wanderlust and enjoying it. Feels a bit out there for a BBC production. Nice to see some of This Country’s cast in it too, though don’t try to make any other links to This Country![]()

Re: Decent Recent TV
Finished Killing Eve last night. I think it tailed off in the last few episodes and there were a few shark jumps that felt a little odd, but overall I enjoyed it. A bit too much “standard overpowering BBC soundtrack” but it just about got away with it.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Watched the season finale of Better Call Saul last night - damn that is so well written I wish they just made them continuously!

Watched the original Prime Suspect last night on Netflix - still very good. Pleased to see Jane Tennyson drove a grey BX 4X4 GTI 
Re: Decent Recent TV
It's been excellent, hasn't it. I was slightly surprised at the speed with which Season 4 came round but I'm now on tenterhooks for Season 5.tim wrote: Thu Oct 11, 2018 10:51 am Watched the season finale of Better Call Saul last night - damn that is so well written I wish they just made them continuously!

Just watched the first episode. Outstanding TV! It has a really strong visual theme and I'm looking forwards to watching more.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Helps if you've read the book. I won't say that I fully understand things yet, but I recognise enough to keep me watching for at least one more episode.Rich B wrote: Thu Oct 11, 2018 10:03 pmYou did better than me, I didn’t have a clue what was going on and ditched it.DeskJockey wrote: Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:43 pm American Gods

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

That wide shot in the desert with the two characters silhouetted was incredible
Re: Decent Recent TV
I watched Episode 8 last night and spent some while trying to find 9 before I realised that was it. Quite an unsatisfying end to an otherwise excellent series.Rich B wrote: Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:14 am Finished Killing Eve last night.

Re: Decent Recent TV
I agree. After Barry's comment I assumed I had just missed episode 9.
Wasn't too impressed actually. Thought the plot was contrived and the characters ridiculous. Especially Eve, who's obsession makes no sense at all

I had already read the books though.
Been waiting a long time for s2 though. Wonder if it has actually been commissioned
