Can understand it being hard to know what's going on then
Episode 1 starts with Joe in a cinema. I must have seen that scene start at least ten times when it should have been different episodes.
It'll also be made to end on another cliffhanger, which I could live without.Originally Posted by Giggles
The big issue with the show as it's gone along is that it's been more about his relationship with John + others and less about him solving shit. I struggle to see that changing with this episode but there was more of it in the last one.
Wouldn't happen on torrents.
When I can hit back and just pick another one it still outweighs faffing about with a laptop.
He is rather good. Second episode was more of what I was expecting.
It was all going well til the end. What the fuck was that?
That was rubbish.

The series have gotten increasingly silly, there's a reason why the best ones were the ones more closely based on the source material.
Anyone tried Taboo? I watched the first episode last night and it seemed promising, without my having that much idea what precisely was going on.
Sherlock went a couple of years ago when they started writing it for the American/international audience.
Yes, I have Jimmy. I watched the second episode last night and, like yourself, still have very little idea about what's actually going on. But it's very intriguing and the cast is great, so I'm definitely sticking with it. I'm especially loving Jonathan Pryce as the old boy in charge of the East India Company.
Just seen this notification!Have you finished the whole thing? If so;

Nah not finished it all yet, drip feeding it so its spread out over a few weeks. Will report back when the season is done.
What a clusterfuck Sherlock was last night.
The first episode of Taboo looked great and the performances are all very good, but it's a bit bizness.
Just watched episode 1. Makes sense nowCan understand it being hard to know what's going on then

Episode 2 of this series was good. The last one basically went 'full retard' though, so to speak.

What we've all been waiting for:
Ron Weasley will never be believable as a gangster. I hate to be pessimistic, but that looks fucking abysmal. The main plot looks way too similar to the film. Boxing, fixed fights, diamonds, blah blah blah.
Like the terrible Lock Stock series they tried to do yeeeeaaaaaarrsss ago.
Dunno if anyone's mentioned it, but the game show Taskmaster on Dave is actually really good fun. Greg Davies is an excellent host, and the panel regulars are largely good.
Never heard of it. But Greg Davies, I'm in.
It had its own thread, kinda, called Funniest Thing On Telly.
First season was awesome, I stopped about halfway through the second but I'll probably pick it back up again before starting The Wonder Years.

Ed Westwick though
I wonder how long this boring phase of action films being turned into atrocious TV series will last. I doubt anyone will be able to top the hateful Wayans twat being cast in the Murtaugh role in Lethal Weapon, but it has to stop.
It's the new 'reboot'. Hollywood is fucked and everything is going to be on Netflix in the future, so it's a sensible idea in some ways.
I have to say Bad Teacher getting a TV show was probably the peak of that.
Series 5 of LOST really was a catastrophic crock of shit. The only things that made it watchable being Kate and Juliette
Series 6 is also much worse than I remembered. What a waste of fucking time this decision to re-watch it has been.
I was all set for a rewatch and then they took it off Netflix
I'd have thought Lost was one of the least rewatchable things ever made.
Finished the second season of Rick and Morty just now. It's basically what Futurama should have been. Very good.
There was a lot I liked about the episode, despite it being a bit of a convoluted shambles after the twenty minutes or so, but it had become absolute rot by the end.

EDIT: Ooh, it'd totally passed me by that Endeavour started up again a couple of weeks ago. Will be getting on that.
I'm halfway through a re-watch of season 5 of 24. The best season.
Mary was the single worst thing ever happened the show anyway, so this episode should be no different.
Amazon haven't half slipped their new thing, Sneaky Pete, out under the radar. It has Bryan Cranston and Giovanni Ribisi in it and it's co-created by Cranston and some combination of the DNA of The Americans, Justified, and House. How does a second tier streaming service not hype that to fuck?
They spent their marketing budget on Clarkson.
I wouldn't want to extract Lost from the last decade where it belongs. Ben Linus was a legend though.
Yeah, they do this all the time. I noticed a week or two ago they have some drama with Martin Freeman in it as the lead. It's been out since September and I had no idea. I'm not the guys biggest fan, but that's still a pretty big name lead for a TV show in my opinion. I assume they paid him a lot of money to be in it. They just never seem to publicise these things though.
I always get this feeling though, that regardless of the money they throw at making the actual shows (which is undoubtedly a lot), there's always a decidedly budget feeling to Amazon Originals. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something a bit off about the whole setup. Netflix is just a much slicker operation.
I see Character Actress Margo Martindale is in Sneaky Pete too.
And Peter Gerety, of Judge Phelan in The Wire fame.
She's certainly not a character I've ever particularly enjoyed in the show. I hope if/when it comes back for more she's not constantly cropping up. Prior to this episode, where his appearances made some sense, I was getting a bit bored of the looming figure of Moriarty cropping up so much as well.
I've seen some adverts for that Sneaky Pete, not as much as there should have been though.
Amazon seems to be largely focused on getting Twitter to talk about their shows, recommendations and general browsing.
The Good Place finished terrifically well. The whole thing was tightly constructed, very clever, and generally great.
I've binge watched almost all of Taskmaster over the last couple of days after the recommendations here.
It's so good
How would you rank the series'?I've binge watched almost all of Taskmaster over the last couple of days after the recommendations here.

Hmmm, probably series 1 at the top and then 2 and 3 fairly equal. It's all good though.
The series was a breath of fresh air regarding comedies,it was wonderfully crafted and the twist was out of nowhere and greatly acted by the actors in question.Hoping it gets picked up for a 2nd season.
Two episodes into Quarry, enjoying it so far. It's a bit jarring to see Marlo Stanfield a smiling family man for his brief time in the show, and the Scottish fella fresh from Mum now playing a southern crime boss.
Walton Goggins is fronting a 'conspiracy thriller' based around the hunt for a Bin Laden figure being undertaken by a fictionalised version of Seal Team Six. Done right that could be stonking.
I've finally finished Luke Cage. Daredevil and Jessica Jones I zoomed through, Cage I found harder going. It's decent but nothing about it hooked me the way the other ones have.
Soundtrack is ace though.
