TV New Season!

[Gwadien]

I love the way she plays the clueless old woman and uses it to say edgy stuff in these PC days.
Like telling Will I Am she had never seen a black man up close before.

I love it how you politicise everything.

She's not acting.

 

[Job]

Oh c'mon.

 

[Moriath]

I think she is quite straight forward. I dont think she puts it on. Its refreshing.

I'm only a couple of episodes in but I am very much enjoying Altered Carbon so far.

Will try this after I've finished Dirk Gently. Read the novel years ago. It was OK but not exactly a classic imo

That's what I thought about the novel. Watched ep.1 though and it's pretty faithful - it'll make for good telly

Liked season1 of Dirk Gently. Having a gap before S2.

I've just finished binge watching it and thought it was rather excellent. I've seen a lot of critics have slated it, fuck knows what they've all been smoking. It's not a Blade Runner clone, it's a no-holds-barred sci-fi noir with some full on brutality.

Yes I agree. Exactly like the book.

 

[Hawkwind]

Been watching S1 Good behavior and it pretty damned good so far. British actress from Downton (won't hold that against her) playing the lead and she is excellent.

[Scouse]

Kinda wish they'd left that at one season.

Netflix' Dirty Money
The Epic Grift of 'Dirty Money'

First episode was a great look at the VW NOx scandal, ending with the glum prediction that all car firms are likely up to similar.
Looking forward to the episodes about Martin Shkreli, Trump, HSBC etc.

Created a bit of a storm when they insinuated VW were Nazi's, human and animal testing.. In the US court case defense have asked for a 6 month delay due to the program causing prejudice in the public.

I'm a big fan of Altered Carbon. Binge watched first 5 episodes over the weekend. Watching the last episode tonight.

 

[caLLous]

I'd advise not skipping episodes 6-9.

 

[Gwadien]

Holy shit that Tesla, I love everything about it, especially the whacky shit.

 

[Gwadien]

Problem is that they diverted so far from the book that it ended up shit

Not read the book. Thats the next port of call.

It's not brilliant. Not bad, but not brilliant. When I was reading it I thought it'd make good TV if it was faithful...

Why was it shit? *edit* Scratch that, I don’t care. It was interesting and I enjoyed it.

The whole family bullshit. Rayleen wasn't his sister in the book IIRC - so that side of the whole thing was just unnecessary - it became a family drama rather than a detective story. And that was it's weakest bit (there were times where you were just begging someone to shoot someone - like when Carl could have taken out whatshisname in the walking dead but didn't pull the trigger). It was pretty weak compared to everything else.

I liked the off-world history stuff - that worked nicely - giving you a grounding background to the character - but the whole sister slant was shite, overplayed and massively interfered with what was shaping up to be a good little TV program.

 

[caLLous]

I'm a couple of episodes into Seven Seconds - it's really good so far.

Sneaky Pete is back later this week.
