I started watching a BBC mini-series the other day with David whatshisface. The actor who played the Governor. It got a little clunky in his time but I think it was still generally really good then. The trough episode for me was the highlight
I was struggling through the first two episodes because I was worried it was too much like just sitting down and playing the game (which I've already done. And which I didn't always "enjoy" per se.) The scene in E2 where Tess gets bit is SO true to the original look and gameplay... I think I recognized some of the furniture. At moments like these, it's almost weird not having a controller in your hands.
I think it's all been done well. I am still just not sure I need to watch it?
I really enjoyed the first two, maybe three, episodes, and then the repetitive formula started to get to me. The first episode seemed like a brilliant way to set up the whole life on the road pre-requisite, which then gives the producers an opportunity to film in various off-beat locations. But Charlie starts finding "off-the-grid" gigs in improbably mainstream locales, and the whole thing gets even hokier than it already seemed like it was intended to be. This is before we get into the fact that she runs into an absurdly complex murder literally every other day of her life.

The overall production is interesting, though. Who would think to intentionally throw back to mid-to-low budget 80's credits, etc., given all the cheap technology available today? When I first started watching, I assumed it was a really old show. Then I remembered you saying you were "caught up" LOL.
I was feeling the same way until last night. Of course, everybody I briefly cared about is dead, so now what?
I was glad to see melanie lynsky's character die . Her irritating character trying to be Bobbi Badass was groan inducingI was feeling the same way until last night. Of course, everybody I briefly cared about is dead, so now what?
And also ridiculously lucky. That scene where she started tasting various smoke wood chips and listening to piccolos, etc. was the series' shark-jumping/ "FOR TREADMILL USE ONLY" moment. (It came earlier than expected LOL.)She is rather unlucky
I want to watch this. Christoph Walz isI’m loving The Last Of Us. I don’t think it was until Ep 3 that I realized the dude is from the Mandolorian.
I just started watching The Consultant on Prime. It’s a mindf*cker, for sure. It doesn’t leave you completely in the dark, but I’m 5 episodes in and am still saying “What the fuuuuuuuccckkk?” every 10-15 minutes. You’d think 5 episodes in I could give a better description than “a sociopath consultant steps in to run a business when someone dies but it’s all f*cked up”, but that’s all I got for now.

The Mandalorian? Surely everyone knows Pedro Pascal from this:I’m loving The Last Of Us. I don’t think it was until Ep 3 that I realized the dude is from the Mandolorian.
I wondered about this one. I am very hot and cold (SO SURPRISING!) on things like this. It could be really good or it could be terrible.Anyone take a dive into this new series yet? I think I am going to plunge into these Fleetwood Mac
inspired water this weekend.
Started S1 of Perry Mason and it's not too bad? Though there is a religious fanatic side story that immediately has me regretting the decision to watch
