    As of today I believe.

    I'll be getting on that once I'm done with Shogun.

    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.

    See, that's really weird. Clear 1950's aesthetics but the bombs drop in 2077? Boo.

    I gave it about an hour, not for me.

    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.

    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

    Not just a "true story", but the guy is actual guy it happened to. He's playing himself.

    I noticed that after the grim fourth episode, which was a real showcase of lunacy from him.

    Edit: The fifth episode... I'm struggling for words.

    I quite liked it. It's a bit bonkers but different from the usual stuff

    A bit bonkers might be an understatement. Great show, but at the same time it's so unique and weird that I would understand if it's not everybody's cup of tea.

    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.

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

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

    Fallout is great fun.

    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.

    The last episode of it might be the worst ever. I should have realised when I seen on IMDb it’s rated 4/10

    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.

    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.

    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 like Lycett but that show is an absolute shambles, assuming we're talking late night Lycett here.

    Agreed. They've nailed the format. Could go on for years more and I'll still watch.
