One More on the Telly

Klaus

I've only seen the first two seasons, but I hated Mr Robot vividly. It reminded me too much of Fight Club which is one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life.

This I'm looking forward to though:

Gazza M

i really need to finish watching psych. damn netflix and cockblocking of my vpn

Segway

Half way into The Deuce and it's brilliant so far. Mindhunters and Godless on Netflix are next up.

Daz

I'm three episodes into Mindhunters and really enjoying it so far.

I dont get all the hate for The Punisher. Miles better than Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders.

Bernthal is amazing, love his mannerisms. Refreshing with no cameos from superheroes; this show needs to feel relatively grounded, which it does. The over the top violence may put some off, but I think it's needed for that character to work.

goon

I've not watched any of the Marvel shows. Is it worth it? I tried to Jessica Jones and Daredevil but didn't get further than the first couple of episodes with either.

Qwiss

Did you check out The Runaways Quincy? Three episodes out so far, definitely promising. I've dropped all the Berlanti shows now and I haven't bothered with Punisher because I'm so tired of that Netflix Marvel universe. This is kind of refreshing though.

I think JJ, DD and The Punisher are the only good ones, so if you didn't like two of those, you probably shouldn't watch any of them.

Are those the CW ones? If so, I've dropped them as well. The latest series have gotten me down on the Netflix universe as well, but The Punisher really feels like its own thing.

Haven't watched The Runaways yet. Was going to check out "Godless" on Netflix too, but haven't had time for either.

Qwiss

Yeah Berlanti is all the CW ones. Runaways is good, not as slow and dark as Netflix, not as campy as the CW stuff, not as bad as Agents of Shield and its spin off.

QuincyAbeyie

The latest season of Agents of Shield is still the best thing I've seen of Marvel television. Don't think Inhumans is a spin off btw. Haven't seen it and never will as I've heard all sorts of terrible things about it, but I don't think there are any characters from AoS.

Caught up on Runaways and it seems decent. I don't like all of the characters, but I guess that's inevitable when where are so many main characters..

Thoughts on The Punisher series?

banduan

Punisher is return to form for Marvel Netflix, after the awful 2 series before.

Burnwinter

Started watching Mr Robot. The main character's an unlikeable creep.

Not to spoiler but wait till you see some of the other characters 😆 Elliot definitely grew on me, the character and the show start a bit slow but pick up the pace in the second season

Started The Man in the High Castle yesterday. The setting is very interesting and it's very well done but the main characters are pretty bland and the dialogue is comically shit at times, need a dramatic improvement otherwise it's a complete waste of what's a good base for a TV show

I can spare you the effort - it's a complete waste.

jones

Well shit. You mean the dialogues don't get better or that the plot isn't worth it?

goon

I thought it was pretty good. Wasn’t sure after the first season, had the exact same concerns. The way it ended completely put me off too. But the second season was great.

Mirth

I only watched the first season and felt the plot was a let down after a promising set up.

I wasn't planning on watching season 2 but goon's comment has made me re-consider.

QuincyAbeyie

Godless was a great, little show. Possibly a bit too long, but the great scenery, cinematography and acting made it well worth it. I don't remember seeing Jeff Daniels in much after Dumb and Dumber, but this was a masterclass performance.

Qwiss

Didn't you watch The Newsroom?
