Bris Vegas Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Alpha said: We watched Squid Game and i would have given up if the Mrs didn't push us through it. In the end I thought it was decent but not especially good. However my big issue with it was the ridiculous script and annoying characters. But that's because I watched the dubbed version. Nobody who watched it in Korean with subtitles seems to have the same complaints. There's a woman who every time she speaks I wanted to turn off. Horrible. Cringey parts in the dubbed version like "Let's play odds versus evens. You do know what odd and even are don't you?" "Urgh.... no. I don't know" And "Hey, we should make a team and work together. We will be stronger for every game if we approach it as a group and help each other to survive to the next round" "You guys think you are so strong huuuuh? You don't want a woman on your team huuuuh? I will show you huuuuh? Hahahahhahah" Felt like I was losing brain cells sometimes. Best show on Netflix? Not even top 3 best foreign language show/movie. I watched the dubbed version too huuuuh and that woman was annoying as hell huuuuh. I wish I’d watched it in Korean with subtitles huuuuuh. Sorry. Huuuuh. Yeah she made me want to put a fist through the screen. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was unhinged and meant to be annoying to all the other players Seems like Squid Game 2 is inevitable, but I can't see how a second series would be anything like as gripping when you know what the game is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cox still amazing as Murdoch, sorry Logan Roy. Really enjoyed the first two series and watched episode 1 of series 3 last night. Perhaps it will grow on me again but I was left a little underwhelmed. I know it's obviously the theme for the entire set of series but I do wonder how long they can drag out a story about a group of obnoxious kids (and a few other side characters) swapping sides and jostling for position to take over a media empire. Sorry for the spoiler for anyone just embarking on series 1 and for any fans. As I say, I'm sure I'll grow into it again and I'll rate it after two or three episodes.

TimRam Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Y - The Last Man - Cancelled after one season. First couple of episodes are decent and odd parts after then. The 'Man' character is a bit weak and comes across as a little bit Mr Bean after a while (without the humour). Maybe should have had someone like a Rick Grimes or Mad Max!

Nicole Kidman is getting dangerously close to that tipping point with plastic surgery. Much more and she'll slide into trout territory. I enjoyed that show on the whole. Hugh Grant was kinda wooden IMO, but Kidman was great. That said actually, there is a scene where Kidman and Grant are having a blazing row later in the series and at one point Kidman completely loses her US accent and goes all aussie. Keep an eye out for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamarr states that if someone had asked him "which was more likely, winning the lottery or seeing Slash holding back Tony Blackburn in a fight it would the latter without a thought" Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remake is awful which is sad as I really like Greg Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob The Badger Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I haven't watched A Question of Sport in probably two decades and watched two back-to-back yesterday whilst tending a sick pup. I'm not sure why I watched the second one other than I couldn't believe how embarrassing it was and presumed it was a fluke. I probably just loved it for the nostalgia and maybe it was never that good, but at least it had actually sporting stars on and not celebs and wannabes.
