I think I'd be more critical if I wasn't so wanting to love it and am so invested in it. It's a bit like Line of Duty which dipped as they dragged it out too long. I'm still enjoying it, but I don't think it would have harmed to have ended it after the 4th season. Finished The Tourist. Started off watchable and quite different (in a Fargo quirky way). Lost its a way a bit and found the last 2 episodes a bit of a chore really after a strong start. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasing initially, but after a short while you think it’s not all that, I’ve had enough, but I’ve paid my money so I will hang around until they kick me out.

Yellowstone - started brilliant and just got better and better. Watched a couple of episodes of S04 last night. Got to do a few hours work today but planning to watch another chunk tonight. Self-isolation does hove its benefits after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good fun but moving more towards soap opera style storylines with less of the humour and snappy pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhantsram Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The White Lotus on Sky on Demand. I'd call it a black comedy, following the lives of guests and staff of an elite Hawaiian hotel over the course of a week: The ridiculous behaviour of the rich, and the nonsense the staff have to put up with. Very funny, but also a great social commentary on the inequality in our society. The lead actor - Murray Bartlett - is someone I had never seen before. He is outstanding. Well worth a watch.

Does it get better? I watched the first episode and was bored to tears and barely smirked never mind laughed, but I know it has had some good reviews so I'm wondering if it was just a slow start as is often the case these days.

Wolfie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Views on Lost in Space (Netflix)?. Watched the first episode last night & thought it was OK, apart from I can see certain characters being annoying - but then they were in the previous versions as well. Just checking it's worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few decent bits along the way, but a missed opportunity by trying to turn it into some form of space soap opera.... When you find that viewers are hoping that the robot kills all of the cast it suggests that the programme makers pitched it wrong....
