Paramount+ or the cheeky option, if you're referring to 1883. Will be available via Amazon Prime this year but date as yet unknown. ketteringram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting until the whole show has been released as m instinct is that it could be a belter, but interested to hear what others already watching it think. So close to being the best year but doesn't quite make it. Or is it like a 68, you do me and I owe you one?

Bob The Badger Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 For those of you who are watching or have watched, Reacher on Amazon. Did it get any better after the first two episodes? After these two I'm thinking dreadful acting, hammy, cliched script and just seems like a vehicle for the lead to get his shirt off and do a poor Robert Mitchum/Clint Eastwood impersonation. I was really looking forward to this, but I'm super disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really looking forward to this, but I'm super disappointed. It remains cheesy and far fetched, and a bit hammy, but, its entertaining and as true to the books as you could hope for. Nice scene with the lady officer with her shirt off to balance it out as well....... angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most who have love the series and it's currently #1 on the IMDB Most Popular Shows list so it's found its audience alright, so perhaps it's meant to be a 'fun ride' rather than anything more serious?

Sadly, I've read the book. I say sadly not because it was terrible, it was ok, but because both the series and the movie with Cruise are based on the only friggin book of his I've read! That could detract too I suppose, in terms of me knowing the twists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I have to say I'm dubious of the courtroom scenes without actually knowing if it could or couldn't happen like this, BUT overall and 4 episodes in, this is pretty damn good. Solid acting, plausible storyline (other than potentially the aforementioned courtroom scenes) and believable characters. Not quite sure why it didn't get more publicity other than potentially because it's largely an all-black cast.

Would certainly recommend. Lots of dry humour, as we follow a junior doctor as he slowly falls apart under the stresses of working in the NHS. Watched the first one last night and I have to say I haven't laughed so much in ages. The missus has worked in hospitals/NHS so she warned me that it was written by a doctor and I might not find it that funny. She was wrong. Like a perfect mix of Green Wing and ER Thanks for the tip therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtless you already know this, but just in case, there's a good few Sci-Fi classics derived from his novels and short stories. Check out Total Recall (1990), Blade Runner (1982) and Minority Report (2002) if you've not already seen them. Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePrisoner Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Really enjoying Severance on Apple TV+ so far. Shot beautifully, looks aesthetically wonderful and a story I’m not quite sure where it’s heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 In preparation for Stranger Things season 4 coming out soon (in 2 parts, the first in May) decided to watch through seasons 1-3 again. I forgot just how good the show is. Season 1 is excellent, just the right amount of episodes. Season 2 is shaping up to be the weakest of the 3 but still with some good ideas. Remember enjoying season 3 so looking forward to reaching that. If you’ve not watched it, I’d highly recommend it.
