Decent Recent TV
Re: Decent Recent TV
Just downloaded Chernobyl again - it really is bloody terrifying and brilliant in equal measure
Just finished Episode 4 - JL, for the love of God, don’t watch that one...

Re: Decent Recent TV
Brilliant TV, The "human robots" sequence is... tense. The only nitpick is I kinda wish they hadn't made some of the story>reality decisions (the heli crash, the miscarriage and the bridge of death) as I don't think many of them were really that important storywise and they just distract discussions.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Yeah - unnecessary poetic licence.
But not enough to distract - thus was my second viewing and will be watching again.

I watched it again after listening to the podcasts. It is incredible TV and I will watch many times more. Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgard are fabulous.RobYob wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 7:49 pmBrilliant TV, The "human robots" sequence is... tense.

Re: Decent Recent TV
The podcasts are brilliant - as well as giving great background to the events themselves (as well as explaining that some of those things you thought were invented, were actually facts, often downplayed), they give a lot of info about why they made the decisions they did about plots, sub-plots, characters etc.
We've fallen down the black hole that is a binge rewatching of The Shield. Utterly tremendous and what a finale.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Oh I watched the first series of One Punch Man the other night and rather enjoyed it.
It's about a super hero who can destroy anyone with one punch. And he's so bored of it that he just does it as a hobby.
It's quite strange but really rather endearing (as well as being technically well done)
Worth a watch if you can find it on the usual streaming outlets.
Seven disappointing opponents out of ten.

Re: Decent Recent TV
One Punch man is amazing, S2 is out now as well. ONE's other series is good as well, it's called Mob Psycho 100.
If you watch a lot of Anime it's worth getting the Crunchyroll streaming ap, it's not super expensive and saves faffing around trying to find subs and stuff.

An absolute unit
Re: Decent Recent TV
I don't think I watch enough to justify it TBH. I'm generally OK, waiting for dubs or sub'd versions of things to come out.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Yep agreed. 2 episodes in and really enjoying it. Complete antidote to the Marvel/DC domination. It’s proper fucking dark too.Beany wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 11:39 pm The Boys
I enjoyed this. Violent, pretty well paced, Karl Urban is tons of fun (as are all the cast) and it's generally a good, dark laugh in the same vein as Preacher (same showrunners effectively).
Worth a poke.
7 interestingly placed pieces of C4 out of 10.
I’ve a little worry that Hughie has undiscovered superpowers and his character will move from angry civilian to Super Nemesis - this would be a shame as Humans taking down Supers is far more interesting.
I genuinely spat my beer when Deep got his cock out for Starlight... Funniest thing I’ve seen on Telly in ages
Re: Decent Recent TV
Just finished it, I imagine should any god fearing American watch it they would be boycotting Prime forevermore!
