I've watched the first five episodes of season 3 The Witcher. I feel like it is becoming closer to what perhaps I wanted from the show, but the damage is done. It still suffers from a lack of world building, and the fact that you don't know where people are geographically half the time and how that relates to distances between characters. For instance, when Ciri is being chased by the Wild Hunt (I think in episode 4 or 5), Geralt suddenly appears out of nowhere to save her, but in the previous scene he was presumably leagues or hundreds of miles away exploring an abandoned castle.

While I wait for the second half of season 3 The Witcher, I've started season 1 of The Silo, which started me thinking that a Fallout series would be good if done right. I've now discovered or remembered that there is one due to come out on Amazon at some point this year or next, starring Walton Goggins as a ghoul. I can see Goggins having so much fun in such a role.

Making a show out of Fallout seems redundant. The best parts of the game are the decisions you get to make, if you take that away you’re just watching any old post-apocalyptic crap.

This season of Black Mirror sucked. Theres nothing special to Black Mirror now and it might have fallen below other anthology shows that have/are trying to mimic its style for their own success which is piss poor. The Guillermo Del Toro horror series, Oats Studios, etc.

Its a shame because the first 4 seasons and Bandersnatch contain tons of magic - none of which are in these last two seasons.

I honestly couldn't tell you which of these episodes was my favorite because they all were totally soulless with bland takes on the few promising concepts included in this batch.

Its all very disappointing. I wouldn't be surprised if this winds up being the end unless its doing well enough that Netflix just throws money at Charlie Booker and he keeps churning out seasons like this.

601 was solid to fun. I didnt hate my time with it. Like the hanna montana ep.

602 i liked the ending. Getting a few beats with his melancholy really sold it for me. Most of the run time was very mid.

603 i think was exceptional and as good as many of the best of series

604 was dog shit

605 was interesting and well constructed but he no business being in this show

Eh....entirely too predictable and slow. Could have shaved 20-25 minutes off of that. Kept waiting for a turn or something and it never happened. It was like they just watched every M. Night movie and got scared of doing anything other than the expected.

When you say "stong" I'd apply that to the actors but that should be expected when they put known names into 3 of the 4 main roles.

If agree with what you said about 601/2/4/5

Whether its Hitchcock Presents, Twilight Zone or Black Mirror i dont think a twist is inherently needed. Theyre welcome for sure but you dont HAVE to have one. Sometimes its about the journey. Beyond the Sea is a great journey.

Well acted is an understatement obviously but the story beats arent exactly obvious either. For instance before the manson family shows up that development wasnt obviously going to happen and as the story unravels it couldve went 3 or 4 ways. That said even if you pegged every beat from start to finish its still a compelling hour+ of tv.

Totally fair to say the season sucked but saying that ep is as bad as the rest of it...i dunno. Bridge too far for me.

People remember the twist endings, but the best Twilight Zone episodes had revelations rather than rug pulls. It wasn’t afraid to re-address familiar concepts with greater brevity. A personal favourite is “Mr. Denton On Doomsday” which is an off-beat counterpart to the classic Western “The Gunfighter” which itself was an anti-Western and a work of streamlined genius. Rod Serling somehow tightened it up and made it more magical.

You could see where it was going, but getting there was lovely.

Feel like the episode 602 was "very obvious" twist and didn't really have anything to do with "technology" as is the gimmick.... 601 and 603 were great. Haven't watched others yet.

Season 6 was more overt horror by design. Bad idea.

+1

Deviating from the very premise that made the show popular towards something much more available and "generic" wasn't a great thought.

Joan is Awful and Beyond the Sea were the only episodes that have any business labeled as Black Mirror episodes. (Well, in Episode 5's defense, it was introduced as "Red Mirror".)

I didn't hate any of the episodes....but yeah.

- Mazey Day had a lazy ending. It could have been great for some other anthology series during the rise of TMZ/Perez Hilton but it would have been on some rando DVD at Family Video
- I really liked Loch Henry but again.....not Black Mirror
- Demon 79 would have worked better as a Creep Show episode
- Aaron Paul's acting was great

random thought but Demon 79...missed opportunity - Ed O'Neill cameo. That'd been the tits.

Destor you should make a few predictions before you get to the finale, it’s a very satisfying season to close with.

Finished season 1 of Silo.

A great sci-fi that remains compelling until the end, underpinned by a strong performance by Rebecca Ferguson. I'd say the only weakness to the show (other than some inconsistent American accents) is Common. He was serviceable in Hell on Wheels, but his role could have done with someone with more acting depth.

Overall, I look forward to season 2 and where they take the series next.

Obviously sometimes things are so obvious it hurts and ideas inevitably erupt from you whether you like it or not but i prefer to ruminate on what they've given me so far.

And there's a lot of reasons for that but chiefly there's always a chance I'll have a better idea than what they land on and then whatever it is they arrive at will disappoint me.

So i like to analyze the narrative i was given first and then examine if there was better/tighter/more cathartic path after.

I can tell you ive given no thought to who will be left on the top of the heap at the conclusion. But if you wanted blind speculation looking at where the narrative begins the death of the patriarchal figure would be the most thematic conclusion.

But thats literally off the top of my head, i havent given it any serious thought.

One of my favourite parts of the last episode you watched was Connor’s speech about his three half siblings being needy love sponges and how he can subsist off insects and dirt (or something akin to that, the exact line escapes me).

I just discovered that Murder She Wrote and Magnum P.I. were in the same TV universe; my Mum is currently watching a crossover episode.

Anyways, I've finally finished the first season of Sleeper Cell. The conclusion was oddly anti-climactic. However, I'll watch the second season.

Undercover underage


I have seen everything online child predator related and this is most thorough project to come since To Catch a Predator... it doesn't have nearly the entertainment value since you don't have a guy getting lured into a house and then Chris Hansen appearing to grill them though, this one is really really serious and focuses more on the decoy process than it does on getting answers from the guys. In season 1 they use a 34 year old woman as the decoy which doesn't feel believable, in season 2 it looks like they got more resources and got actual young actresses to play the decoys. It's annoying how the style is very reality tv though, like it's heavily dramatized, every single time a guy sends a creepy message the decoys get all shocked as if they didn't know to expect this.
