One More on the Telly

Anfield1884

Dark is great. Such twists and confusion. Constantly got me asking questions.

Klaus

Dark is alright but a little overrated. I found The Kettering Incident a lot more interesting. It's like a mix of Twin Peaks and Top of the Lake. Definitely deserves a bigger audience than it has attracted so far.

Started dark the other night and I'm enjoying it so far. It's very similar to stranger things though.

There's just too many tv shows. Sooo many.

Burnwinter

Definitely interested in the Altered Carbon show that's coming up.

QuincyAbeyie

Yeah, that looks really cool.

Also, I recommend checking out the Counterpart pilot. What more can you ask for than J.K. Simmons playing the two main roles?

I enjoyed that a lot too Klaus - didn't realise it was known much outside Australia.

I realise I'm a long way behind the times but I've just started watching Vikings. Only a few episodes into season 1 so there's a long way to go - good fun so far, with beautiful scenery.

Burnwinter

I've stopped watching it, but I did enjoy everything I did watch. It's a nicely realised show on a number of levels—(relative) historical accuracy, setting and visualisation, character development and drama. It's pretty similar to something like Sons of Anarchy in terms of form and content, though.

Not seen anything on TWD Season 8 on here or anywhere else, so assumed it must be garbage, but I'm a few episodes in and it's been thoroughly enjoyable.

So who likes sci-fi and JK Simmons? Watch Counterpart.

Goon, I have stopped watching it week to week like I used to because it has definitely gotten worse. However binging it all quickly makes it seem not as bad so thats working for me at the moment.

It's amazing so far. Usually I press pause and check transfer rumours every 15 minutes or so, but both Counterpart episodes went by in a flash despite being 55 minutes+ each.

I’ve not watched it week to week for a couple of seasons, binging is definitely the way to go. That being said I find it great ‘switch your brain off’ entertainment.

I gave season 8 a few episodes but that was enough to convince me it was definitely time to ditch the show. Seems to just be going over the same kinds of themes with little new.

Burnwinter

Mr Robot is soooooooo shit. Can't believe I wasted any time on it at all. So utterly mediocre on every level: acting, writing, concept, execution.

On the bright side, we've been watching The Handmaid's Tale and it's genuinely well made and compelling.

QuincyAbeyie

Don't listen, guys. It's good.

jones

Quincy is right, it's great entertainment. Couple of dodgy performances alright but the lead is brilliant, also the music picks are a lot better than any other current show I can think of

Burnwinter

Got to say, I'm glad to hear you guys saying nice things about it—to hear that people actually like it makes me feel less embarrassed for the army of multitalentless hacks involved in bringing it to an audience and arranging for it to be showered with hollow acclaim.

jones

Good grief Burns can't you write a post just once that you can glance over and immediately understand ffs.

goon

😆

Mr Robot is great. Has it's weak points, the start of season 2 pissed me off no end. The last season was super though.

Mirth

I think he just insulted you but I'm not sure
