Can’t wait to get started
Is it worth bothering with if you haven't played the game?
I've read a couple of reviews from people who also have no knowledge/experience of the games and the reviews were very positive.
It's not a big concept to grasp, really. World (well, possibly just America) gets nuked in the (strangely technically advanced) 50's. The world is knackered but there's no shortage of leather jackets.
It doesn’t get nuked in the 50s.
5 minutes in, what an opening.
See, that's really weird. Clear 1950's aesthetics but the bombs drop in 2077? Boo.Quote:

Something quite wholesome about seeing Coop on my screen though.
The fifth X-Men episode took it from "wow this is surprisingly good for a nostalgia bait reboot" to "holy shit this might be better than the original run".
Watched the first episode of Fallout, it's a big thumbs up from me.
Will knock out a few episodes tomorrow.
It's incredibly bloody. The missus isn't enjoying it much but I think it's done a great job of capturing Fallout 3/4.
I think that's the main divide. The classic fallout nerds are all up in arms but it wasn't never going to be that.
I loved it, it’s not amazing but very enjoyable, a solid 6.7/7 out of 10 for sure. Looking forward to season two.
I enjoyed all the little nods to the games without needing to have played them to enjoy it.
I highly recommend Bottom Exposed that was recently on GOLD to any fans of Bottom.
Finished up Fallout last night and started on Baby Reindeer.
Pretty wild to think it's based on a true story as it's pretty nutty how many shitty decisions the guy made. R
Is Mr Robot any good? I’d not heard of it before today but the reviews suggest it’s great.
Not just a "true story", but the guy is actual guy it happened to. He's playing himself.Quote:

Edit: The fifth episode... I'm struggling for words.
I quite liked it. It's a bit bonkers but different from the usual stuffQuote:

Anyone watched Dark? Loving how complex and strange it is.
I really enjoyed it, but it's another one of those that will not be for everyone, especially with how easy it is to get lost.
It's brilliant.
Did they try turning a light on :)Quote:

Back to Malcolm in the Middle.
Not bothered with Baby Reindeer yet, doing a complete watch of Dexter having never seen it before. Just starting Season 4.

Do yourself a favour and pretend that the finale of Season 4 is the end of the show.Quote:

I have heard it drops off hard. Was the recent series any better?Quote:

5 and, I think, 7 were good. But the ending of 4 is a really great way to sign off if you so wish.
The recent one was terrible.
We are on the same show watching schedule. 3 episodes of Shogun left for me.Quote:

Fallout is mega. Really enjoyed it
You know what's worse than this weather @Waffdon ? Jurassic World: Dominion.
Impressive they managed to make a film that bad, with a cast that good.
Is it really any worse than any of the sequel spin-off films? They're all variously wank/funny so it seems surprising that they'd have managed to make a genuinely bad one unless they've cut the dinos or something.
Dominion is the one where the film is actually about locusts isn't it?
That manage to fly whilst being on fire. Yeah.
There have been some bad Jurassic Park/World films, but this is much worse than the others.
All of them apart from the first one.Quote:

The original was great, 2nd is OK, 3rd is poor. The first Jurassic World was decent, 2nd was poor and Dominion is absolute shite.
I haven't seen Dominion but Spikey has nailed the others.
Freeman delivering another masterclass in S2 of The Responder.
The start of this Joe Lycett thing seems like they should have just called it TFI Friday.
Hammered through Clarkson's farm S3 last weekend, still a really good watch.
I like Lycett but that show is an absolute shambles, assuming we're talking late night Lycett here.Quote:
