Watched this from the beginning - started out o.k., but it's become a weird cross between a soap opera and 24 - and one of the recent episodes hit an all time low - bad enough that they had a 'British' Agent with such a large plum in his mouth that he could hardly speak, but they've now introduced his daughter - supposedly at an English school (looked more like Canada to me) and to add to the realism, she was in her room playing the most atrocious 'punk' music on her ghetto blaster - only good thing now is Michael J Fox (and the fit bird that plays the President's Chief of Staff.....)

Watched 15mis and thought it looked naff... a bit 'by numbers'.. Blue Bloods is the same...just felt it had been written by s committee who had shoe-horned in every cliche in the book. There is something glossy and antiseptic about them that gets my back up. Gomorrah is much more to my taste...feels grittier, more real. Tbf tho Dexter is quite polished and I loved that...so its interesting what appeals and what doesn't, its hard to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hunted this thread down late last night to get inspiration of what box set to start watching on Netflix. Decided to go for 13 Reasons - I'm one and a half episodes in and so far it's like a teen 'desperate housewives'... I'm assuming it gets better?

Very teen angst but in a way that was thought provoking. Have finished Gommorah now which was amazing. Totally engrossing. Now going back to fill the biggest void I have...'Breaking Bad'. One series in....its fine but I just can't see what all the fuss was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Just finished 13 Reasons Why. OMG what an absolute pile of crap! Proper dumbass boxset of nothingness. Characters are all really annoying, storyline is a nothingness - and they have this horrendous part at the end where the actors talk about how the show deals with serious issues - which it totally doesn't. American crap. I'm embarrassed for having watched it to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot grasp how the final scene of S1 in the bath tub, and her mum, doesn't hit you. Not sure whether it's cos I have a history of suicidal thoughts, or my age, or what, but it hit me hard, and anyone else I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that point I was just amazed by how bad the acting was... how the story line made no sense... wtf was Tony?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're 10 miles down the M1 and your wing/door mirrors are folded in, you cannot be driving with due care and attention.

I just can not understand why people do it. I think you could put a brand new driver in a car and they'd still naturally take the left empty lane. Rather than sit in the bloody middle lane whilst everyone else is having to move right to get around. Theyre the same types that sit on the outter train seat with an empty seat inside on a busy train. Or put their bag on the empty seat and have to be asked to move it rather than being a conscientious and aware person and just moving the bag as the train fills up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
