Good doco on there now about when England's cricket team got involved in a $20M game back in 2008 when T20 was in its early days. Funded by a dodgy billionaire and ended up being a complete shambles.

Anyone watching From? Not hard to believe it's from the makers of Lost. You get about 60 seconds per episode that actually advances the storyline padded out with bullshit character development and completely moronic, pointless conversations and 'drama'.

I've got to go out there again!
No you can't go out there again!
I've got to!
YOU CAN'T!
I. HAVE. TO!
Well fine! Go then!

Aaaaand scene.

Cut to the woman going through heroin withdrawal and her girlfriend the nurse for another 3 minute argument scene or the manchild having a 3 minute tanty because someone went into his bedroom and took a crayon!

I thought the Pilot was good last week but haven’t been back?

No good then?

I can't decide yet and that's where they get you! Keep that going for long enough and all of a sudden you're 3 years down the track and

I think i'm watching 15mins a episode. Just Fast forwarding majority of it. Feel like I've missed nothing

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

From is one of those awful shows that sucks you in.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I'm quite enjoying From, and yes, they do pad things out and keep you guessing just like in LOST, but I think the concept is very interesting.

Sure. And the last 60 seconds of s2 will make sure you come back for s3. The rest of the last episode is mostly padding.

I wonder if they have an end game this time or is it just drag it out again until the ratings start dropping off then end it with they were actually all dead the whole time.

Im enjoying lucky hank atm

The last 2 eps were good. Hopefully a longer S3 and that's it.

watched japanese film 'the third murder'

courtroom and legal drama is not my kind of stuff but it was pretty weighty without finding it boring. what is justice, etc.

 

[AFDogs]

Trying to watch stuff on this and the quality keeps dropping. Looks like I'm watching YouTube in 2006 at times. Can't run shows in HD and it has to be a Stan issue because every other streaming service runs a dream and I have great internet.

Very close to cancelling my subscription. Not into Power or Yellowstone so there isn't much keeping me around.

That's weird. We watch it quite a bit and don't have any issues like this.

 

[Roobs321]

Neither. Stan’s quality control tends to be reliable in my experience, not prone to variance in copies or drop outs in quality. It certainly isn’t the first streamer to come to mind for that sort of thing, one of the more straightforward. Might be a more local devices/casting/app (viewing) issue.

From is back September 23 apparently for those who are.. I was about to say keen but that may not be the right word exactly

I guess you'll be thrilled with this news then. For me it's watchable but has way too much padding so it's definitely a watch with phone in hand deal.

I'm not thrilled as I don't have STAN at the moment.

I could probably keep you updated with each episode using one sentence a week if you like?

Really? It has me completely hooked. Can't wait for the next season.

The only thing that worries me is that FROM is made by the people who made LOST. So, I hope they do a better job of wrapping up this series than they did with LOST (which ruined the whole show). But I agree. I have found it a very compelling show so far.

I've never seen Lost.

If you gush about From you'll ****ing love Lost.

 

[raskolnikov]

Yeah. I'll have to watch it at some stage. But then again with the negative reviews about the ending is it worth watching?
