Very good start to Dope Thief. First ep was directed by Ridley Scott

Adolescence on Netflix is great.

Just started Paradise last night. I was already into it with the whole President/Secret Service thing and then they added an apocalypic element. I'm down. Thanks for the recommendation.

Also, The Pitt is amazing and I think Wyle could be a show for an Emmy.

New episode of the Pitt is such a setup for the next.
Best series so far this year.

I finished Paradise and can say I enjoyed it but some of the production was poor.. very repetitive ‘mood music’ that had 2 tones, one for ambience and one for mystery.

Overall it had moments of brilliance and others where the bit actors appeared quite poor. Could be down to a small budget.. I don’t know.
If the budget was small then they did great things.

Episode 7 was brilliant, and I’d read ep 8 was a let down but I didn’t see it like that.

Ep 8 was a good seqason wrap up and ready for a new season.

Paradise - best show all year - given its March

Ep 7 brilliant - I also didnt feel let down in ep 8

Loved 2 lines in the whole series

Spoiler: Jane

'' You said to send the biggest mofo you got - well guess what I'm the biggest mofo ''

'' shoulda given me the Wii ''

Adolescence on Netflix is great.

Astoundingly so. Not an easy watch by any stretch but it is brilliantly scripted, shot and acted.

 

[Jugada]

As someone not into Sci-fi, political or doomsday shows I’m still tempted to watch Paradise with how some of you are pumping it up

'' You said to send the biggest mofo you got - well guess what I'm the biggest mofo ''

'' shoulda given me the Wii ''

That second line listed in your spoilers was an all-time classic

Just finished Win or Lose on Disney+.

Pixar has done it again. Great show.

Adolescence on Netflix is great.

No i could not agree sadly. it is well acted , well filmed.

There is a great lot of ideas floated

But the story just didnt Gel together

Spoiler: Details from Show revealed in my answer to why it not good

First a SWAT team takes a battering Ram to the door of a Surburban house in England. Not sure this would occur especially when they only after a 13 yr old. But if there was a reason for this they never explained it.

Spoiler: Part 2

Ok next big issue episode 2 in the school. Thery never explained why the victims best friend suspected the boy she beat upas being involved. Raised some good back story items in her conversation with the Teacher, eg, her relationship with mother. why her best friends parents wouldn't want to see her.

Spoiler: Part 3

episode 3 whole episode with Psychoanalyst. Would have been good to hear her final report. was some interesting encounters , but her report woudl truly affect the outcome of trial. appears the boy was looking for an insane plea,

Spoiler: Part 4

The change to a guilty plea was obvious after the initial episodes showed the film of him performing the task.
But again. just missing the story of WHY did he change plea. was it the PHsych Report? He had nto shown any remorse for the whole 4 epsisodes (13 mths over all i think) so where did this come from

Yes so skip the spoilers if you havent watched.

But basicall 4 episodes was probably very limitign for the writers to expand the back stories and link it all together. in which case dont mention any back stories.

So felet very disappointed with the whole flow. watched it in one sitting as i like to binge.

If i missed some story lines please let me know as i just didnt see it resolve so many side issues.

agree on the last two . Direction and Acting.

 

[No Quarter]

Did anyone watch Sam Pang Tonight?

A couple of funny moments but generally pretty awkward

I assume he had a studio audience but it sounded like canned laughter. Was that part of a joke?

 

[AFDogs]

First 2 eps of Adolescence.

Pretty good. Keen to see where it goes next.

 

[GreyCrow]

Daredevil Born Again

I really should go back and watch the previous iteration if I go back into an update show

3 episodes in and there was some initial confusion but all sorted now - bit moody but building nicely to the comic book villains coming undone at the end
