2001 is from 1968
Clockwork Orange from 1971

the era of those films really shouldn't be ignored when critiquing them.

Outlaw King was watchable. Seems truncated. Shoulda been a series.

Every episode of Medal of Honor is incredible. If the show doesn't bring you to tears at least once, you have no soul.

8 episodes through Homecoming (Prime). I dunno, it's been fine, but at this point I'm desperate to finish it and move on to something else. The plot and the characters just aren't very interesting to me.

Esmail is awesome, and I love Mr. Robot, but gotta say this has been a bit disappointing.

My take: watched all of season 1, only finished it b/c plot committed, this show is kinda bad. The characters are dumb, the explanations of what's going on are dumb and implausible, you don't ever get much in the way of answers, side plots are abandoned with no explanation.

Also, because early on in the show they cross from Denmark into southern Sweden and most of the rest of the show takes place there, I always wanted to know: are they still speaking Danish? Google tells me the languages are similar but have some different sounds/vocabulary that would make communication slightly confusing, why is that not reflected in the show?! (or is it, with no reflection of that to subtitle viewers?)

I could go on several rants about how some individual plotlines are so, so bad but I assume most people haven't seen this show and, hopefully after this post, won't see it, so meh.

I quite enjoyed The Rain. It is a bit teenage cringey at times though. I really enjoy that genre of show so possibly that helped.

Three or four set pieces strung together with bailing wire and twine.

It’s still watchable owing to C. Pine and assorted landscape-porn shots. (And the set pieces; I do love it when folks get medieval) but yeah it kind of screams missed opportunity to me.

“Watchable” is exactly the right adjective for this film IMO. No more, no less.

I agree, as I watched more I grew to dislike the show. The decision making was poor and I gave up on it midway through.

Rewatched The Raid: Redemption last night. Anyone who's a fan of killer action/violence/mayhem will enjoy this. I still haven't seen The Night Comes For Us but I'll hopefully watch it soon.

Just finished the second season, at 8 episodes it feels it could have been reduced to just 3 or 4 (like the first season), the pacing is too slow at the begginig and the last chapter is sort of an epilogue that is too long.

They tried to create some "court intrigues and drama" that just don't fit well, and the lack of action doesn't help

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably watch it at some point because I love Armitage's voice.

this +million.

totally meh film (and I love this genre) but could have been an awesome mini series.

Really enjoying Rake. Very fun show with some interesting characters, esp the lead. He is great.

rip house of cards,


looking back , season 1 was absolute amazing must watch tv, after that, it slowly but surely declined

slowly?

I liked House of Cards initially when it was about a scheming member of the House of Representatives. There's lots of room for storytelling for years.

HOC had so much potential when it was believable, didnt last long

somehow watched the rest of that season but it was done after that

He was a congressman then but yea the point stands.

Like Trump wouldn't do something like that. Especially if they worked for CNN.

was he? i thought he started season 2 as VP

Wait really? You're spoilering a ****ty TNA reveal from like 3 years ago?

meh looking back it was okay, I thought season 3 was really boring but maybe that's just me. i just felt all the other seasons dont live up to the season 1 hype and hooplah but thats prolly because francis trying to become a president while he was in the house was more fun to watch than the seasons when he finally made it

I tried watching the US version of HOC but it just didn't come close to being as good as the original British one so I gave up.
