Don’t quite see the hype yet but an enjoyable introductory season overall. Really like Rip’s character and Walker interests me too and you can definitely sense some tension brewing between the two. The chemistry between the latter and Beth will only stir things up. Kayce’s arc lost momentum towards the end of the season but coming back to the ranch is a big moment for him. Jamie I don’t really care for at the moment. Onto season 2!
One of the best things on TV this year. Same cast and director as the film, and just as class. Right from the first episode it forces you to put down your phone and really watch. An astounding central performance from Stephen Graham, because he’s incapable of doing otherwise. Particularly enjoy watching for those little moments that may turn bad, a pan being on too long etc. It is different to The Bear: uses interpersonal-comment-as-you-pass-with-a-hot-plate humour rather than, for instance, having to wrestle a big inflatable hot dog into a small car. Was initially worried it had too much dazzle and not enough life but once it drops the “we’ve only got one camera” shtick it quickly finds rhythm - by the end of Ep 2 I was so invested I (a very miserable and hard-to-move person) almost cried at one of the story twists. Nailbiting stuff. You really can’t look away
In Marcus’ episode Will Poulter’s character said he thought he was the best until he started working with someone at some restaurant who was way better than him, and so kept as close to him as he could in order to learn from him. This was probably Carmy, having seen that framed photo of him and Will Poulter’s character on this restaurant Richie’s at
Great! I don’t have to go to work tomorrow
Time to experience the greatest TV show of all time all over again. Long overdue
Great little watch. Socha deserves to go absolutely meteoric off this if he wants to. Loved all the king gloopy scenes and that specific middle-of-the-country natter that only Shane Meadows can possibly capture. Stunnin
THIS is the stuff that gets me excited about The Walking Dead universe! THIS is the level and care that should go into TWD!
The final scene (continuing from the first scene) is just beautiful. Camry going down to see the sunset on Mikey’s birthday, whilst the wonderful “Oh My Heart” plays by R.E.M.
“This place needs to me here to start. This place is the beat of my heart”
Marcus’ character doesn’t particularly interest me, but really enjoyed his interactions with Will Poulter’s character. The realness of the latter’s acting and dialogue in particular really go a long way
I liked the finale, ignoring whatever the hell that musical bit was, but Season 3 on the whole has been a massive drop off from the previous two. Longer drawn-out episodes, spending too much time with characters you care little about, bad corny jokes and writing. Not a good season, but it was tied up nicely I think.
Regained some hope in the show when I learnt they were bringing Maddison back but season 7 was boring as hell. Something didn’t feel right about this season’s opener either, lazy writing idk. Really really hope they can salvage this show but Alicia’s absence, Strand character’s many misdirections and this PADRE storyline doesn’t fill me with much faith.
A chilling, morbid watch - but it must be said - Steve Coogan absolutely nails Saville. Writhingly uncomfortable-to-watch performance
This is just class telly
Holy f*ck what an episode of Monday Night Raw. Propa wrasslin
This is Danai’s best-acted performance for sure
Actually really digging this show. Impressed at how quickly the writers have made me care about a new character in Isabelle - something that Dead City failed to do in six. Clémence Poésy is killing it.
The setting and scenery makes the series look and feel so fresh. Ok, there’s certain plot armour elements that are a little overboard (a baby being born 2 months premature and being completely fine, all children speaking English fluently, Daryl falling literally into a herd and having the time to look up and around, get up, get a weapon out, swing it about, without getting bit) but it’s whatever - it’s a tv show - about zombies, lol.
So far so good. Best stuff they’ve done in years
Best WWE crowd of all time. No doubt
ON THIS DAY, I SEE CLEARLY…
This was a mess but there were a couple of redeeming scenes towards the end. I’m glad it’s over honestly
Not that this was good, but I’m really glad they didn’t write Alicia as the mother of Troy’s daughter
Yeah this was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Beautifully shot. Fresh setting. The trailer for what’s to come is really really promising too
Jamie actually kinda looks like Jake gyllenhaal
Ah Tate’s a cute kid... turns out he’s also a fuckin badass!
Seems I’m in the minority but this was probably my favourite episode so far.
Teonna’s storyline along with Spencer & Alex’s are still the most interesting aspects of the show for me, but this feels like the first episode where Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren have actually been able to work together, and provide us with their expertise. Their conversation outside the house was great mainly because it felt real, and you get the sense that both are enjoying their roles more and more as the show goes on.
I’m enjoying this series, although admittedly I haven’t loved it, but is quite extraordinary to look at – this goes for every episode. Much like Yellowstone and 1883, it feels like a movie at times
My major problem with this film is that I really enjoyed about 70% of it, before they started making up endings. A lot of people are afraid to admit this.
Having said that, it was gorgeously shot and captivating and that’s why it felt like such a let down when all 4 endings were crap.
Ending 1 (the first twist with his family on his birthday) just invalidated the first 80 minutes of the film entirely and every emotion he felt up until then.
Ending 2 (what happened after the party) was just a bit stupid. The drone shot after it was great though.
Ending 3 in the coffee shop was when it really started going off the rails.
And Ending 4, just a completely mental reshoot.
The exposure they’re giving to the women’s game in Wales here is brilliant
This is just so compelling
Actually been really enjoying this season so far. Probably the most since season 2
I love David & Grace and their high school-like romance, they’re so real
This show just never seems to go anywhere idk
Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think June and Nick met after the prison??
